Grand Valley Opposes Plan.

Palisade-Frank G. Goudy will leave
for Washington in a few days to op-
pose the low line canal contemplated
by the Reclamation Service for the
comp elton of the Grand Valley irri-
CATION project. The low line canal has
been recommended by the reclamation
engineers, but is being opposed by the
fruit growers of the district because
it runs through a number of valuable
orchards which will be destroyed IT
the project should be carried out.
An alternative plan, known as the
high line canal, has been proposed. 1t
is a more expensive piece of construc-
ton than the low line canal but as
it will save the orchards it is favored
by the Western slope people.
Mr.. Goudy has been selected by a
number of irrigation districts of this
section to represent them in Wash
ington in an effort to have the desired
change in the plans made.
Several attorneys from the Western
slope will also go to Washington to
assist in the efforts to have the pro-
posed low line canal, which will re-
quire 100-foot right of way through
the best Palisade orchards, aban-
doned.

end being handled by the most prom

assured fact, options running for about
sixty days being signed up for nearly
$4,000 acres of the best land in the

also securing options on every foot
of land that is on the market and the
deal may run up to over 100000 acres
all told. Their present base of activi-
ty is in what is known as the Basin
and Clay Hill districts, covering
