Engineer J. w. Sussex, of this city,
is making plans and specifications
for a storage reservoir above Cash
mere The Cashmere Record says of
the project as follows:
Engineers have completed their
preliminary surveys for the proposed
reservoir to cover about 500 acres
of fine orchard lands lying below and
adjoining the Estes tracts, and re-
port that the proposition is both
feasible and favorable. This land,
when developed, will be one of the
choice fruit sections around here, and
those who hold them are highly elat-
ed over the prospect of getting water
so easily and at so small a cost.
u. w. Sussex, the engineer who
made the surveys, makes the follow
ing report:
Having measured the flow of wa
ter in Dominic creek from which you
take water for the irrigation of the
Estes Valley Orchard Tracts, and
knowing the character Of the soil and
the amount of land irrigated, l can
state that there is ample water avail
able for the irrigation of your tracts.
LIT is possible to increase the
amount of water now available
should it ever be necessary, by the
construction of a reservoir. / have
surveyed this reservoir both for ca
pacity and the estimated cost of the
dam and find it entirely feasible.
do not consider, however, that the
construction of the reservoir is ne
cessary for the irrigation of your
land, but the possibility Of the con-
struction of a reservoir on your land
and filled with your water at such
times as it is needed for your own
use makes it a valuable asset to your
property.
There are about 500 acres OF
land lying below the proposed reser-
voir that could be irrigated in this
way at nominal cost. "

HIGH WEEDS MAR
IMPROVEMENTS
Parking Strips Neglected on
Streets Recently
Improved.

Some of the streets which have
been graded and cement sidewalks
laid, with parking strips, ETC., are
being sadly neglected. On Palouse
street the weeds have grown up to
a height of three feet. The same
condition prevails on portions of
Chelan and other blocks in the i'm
proved district.
Russian thistle is also becoming
quite prevalent throughout the city.
Unless something is done to check
the spread of the weedy pest it will
develop into a serious evil. Once
started, the Russian thistle is diff
cult to control, and it becomes a
menace to vegetation.
1t has been suggested that If prop
erty owners will unite in concerted
effort to cut down all these weedy
growths the city will be much i'm
proved in appearance and serious
damage to gardens, lawns, ETC., will
be averted.

W. McMullen for $4,000. This is
located half a mile northeast of Mike

about 1000 boxes of apples. The
trees are six years old and next year
will be in full bearing.
DR.. Warren disposed of the place
for the reason that his mother is very
ill in the east and he felt obliged to
leave at once. The crop will be
ready for handling next month and
he desired to make the quick sale so
as to leave for the east at once. He
will return in the spring.

realize good prices for their cattle.
There are some fine herds of cattle
in Adams, Jefferson and Claiborne
counties, where the boil weevil have
forced the planters to take up cattle
raising and Investigation generally,
since they cannot raise cotton. A
packing house is to be established at
Natchez, and will be ready to begin
operations in a short time. Induce
ments have been held out to the farm
ers Of that territory to raise cattle
and hogs, with the result that there is
more cattle in those counties than
ever before, while it is estimated that
Adams county, the only place in the
state where hog cholera appeared this
year, has $4,000 head of hogs ready to
deliver to the packing house.
The hog cholera was soon wiped
out in Adams county and the hogs
are pronounced healthy and ready for
the market.

RULING
Creates CONFUSION

Jackson, Miss, Set. 1.-THE recent
ruling of the Attorney General that
county supervisors could not collect
for the inspecting the public roads has
created great deal of combustion and
resulted in the resignation Of three
members of the board in Adams coun-
ty.
The law under which the ruling was
handed down, was intended to COM
pensate the supervisors for the time
devoted to inspecting roads and
bridges. In some counties they had
been collecting their per diem, but
without legal right to do so.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture, an act was passed, which was in
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1910-09-12

tended to authorize the payment of
the supervisors, but in engrossing the
bill, an error crept in which nullifies
the purpose Of the act, and supervis-
ors must do this work without COM
pensation. Some times they have to
do it at loss to their personal bust
ness, and when the Department Of JUS
tice ruled that, under the law, the
supervisors were not entitled to extra
compensation for this work.
The supervisors, under the law, can
be paid only for the actual time de-
voted to the meetings of the board.
The last legislature increased the du-
ties of the board, imposing additional
work without compensation, and this
has caused the department Of justice
to be flooded with letters of inquiry
as to the intent of the law. Some
time ago an opinion was handed down,
holding that the supervisors could not
collect for inspecting the roads. Since
then there has been a great deal of
discussion of the question, and this
has resulted in the resignation of
Messrs. ]. N. Ogden, James Mcclure
and q r Pyrnp mambarc of th.A
Adams county board.
1t is understood that supervisors of
other counties may follow the lead of
the Adams county members, and if
this should prove the case, special
elections will have to be called to fill
the vacancies.
