ENGINEERS ARE
FAVORABLE To
|. HIGH LINE CANAL

According to reports current in
Denver among those who are as close
TO the situation as any there now
seems to be little doubt that when the
board investigating government rec
lamation projects make their report
at Washington late in October they
will recommend that considerable
amount of the s2O.00O,0O0 provide
by the last congress for reclamation
work be used in constructing the gov
eminent high line canal in the Grand
valley.
Secretary Ballinger of the depart
ment of the interior intimated when
he was in Denver last week that if
the engineers made such recon-
mendation it would be acted upon
favorably by his department. The
people of the Grand valley, after hav-
ing talked with members of the board
of engineers during their recent visit
there feel confident that they will
report favorably on the Grand valley
project
The engineers will return to Wash
ington October %. and soon there
after will make a report upon which
will depend largely the expenditure
of the S20,000,0O0 provided at the
last session of congress for the recla-
nation work. The engineers have
been out since July 25 and have IN
spected projects in the Northwest and
those in Colorado and Utah. They
are now in Arizona and will viist
California, Arizona. New Mexico and
Kansas.
