CONTRACTS MAY BE SIGNED LAT.
ER IN THE SEASON.
MANY MEN ARE WORKING
Fruitdale Ditch Will Soon he Cons
nected and Water
Turned In.

The Courier has been requested
by Manager George Il. Sanders, of the
Chicago Rogue River company, to
say to water users, who will come
under the north side 200-foot con-
tour ditch, to get ready and take the
water at once without stopping to
sign any contract whatever. as this
can be done later in the season. He
thinks II is important that those who
Intend to irrigate under that ditch
set their lands ready and turn on
the water at the earliest possible mo-
nent SO that they may get good re-
quits this year.
Mr.. Sanders desires to say to these
who intend to use water that It II
highly important that they do their
first irrigating within the next few
days, as 1t will be necessary to shut
off the pump which fills the north
side ditch about the first Of themonth
for from three to fives days while
workmen adjust the second pump,
which Is to furnish water for the
Frnitdale ditch. This shut down
would not occur were It not abso-
lutely necessary, and It will not con-
tinue an hour longer than It will re-
culre to do the work In question.
This is undoubtedly the best thing
that can be done when 1t Is taken into
consideration that there Is little time
for going into the details OF per-
manent contract Mr.. Sanders Is q
husy man, and has little time for any
thing else than caring for the work
on the dam, the pumps and the need
cd work on ditches that are to car
ry water this season. Looking af-
ter the large number OF men, who
are required to do the work, keeps
him busy almost night and day.
There are 40 men. Mr.. Sanders re-
pGits, working on the Fruitdale
ditch and this will soon be ready
for water. There are carpenters
busy constructing the flume, men do
Ing ditch construction and ditch
cleaning, It Is aimed to complete a
half mile OF this work every day.
Those In Fruitdale who intend to
use water this season, should get their
land ready and determine how their
laterals are to be constructed. There
ls plenty OF water to raise quite a
number Of crops II the seed is put
IN the ground soon.

of new, damp, clinging snow that put a
damper on the hopes of the deer hunters
for the time being.
Melvin Stone and his boy each got a
deer on the 10th inst.
j. i. Hodges got 23S pound deer on
the 18th inst.
Sleighs, sleds and wagons were out on
