IRRIGATION CANAL
OPENED WITH BIG
CELEBRATION JUNE

Eleven thousand acres of land in the
Yakima valley, in central Washington,
composing the first unit of the federal
government s Tieton irrigation project
on $4,000 acres, was formally opened
at a celebration under the direction
of the North Yakima Commercial Club
on June 8. The main canal, built of
concrete, is 10 miles in length, the other
work including six tunnels through solid
rock, 1000 feet; seven main laterats
and numerous branches. The land,
which was formerly leased for five
cents an acre year, now has an aver
age value of 5000 an acre and will be
worth from $500 to $1,000 an acre
when the apple and other fruit trees
come into full bearing. The second
unit of 5000 acres will be opened next
spring, the third unit, covering $4,000
acres, to be ready in 1912. The cost of
the entire project is estimated at
