of great value in the investigation

ing conspiracy.
The federal grand jury is now in
session i'm Los Angeles. To that
body the McNamaras are expected
to give evidence which the dis

ON till all the lands are irrigated
Then the water flows off into a
waste ditch should the main dis
tribution lateral gate be allowed to
remain open.
1t will be all easy matter, after an
irrigation or two, to determine the
proper place for the float valve ic
each land. The wires from the
valves to the gate will run along the
fence posts.
The gates will be of metal and
concrete, and the valves will be IN
derground, so that there will be n
danger of the system being injured
by stock. Maintenance costs will be
nothing.
