TO bright colors being worn during the

LAND LOCATION PROJECT
CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION

For several weeks the Press has
been hearing of scheme on the mesa
east Of Holtville where people are be-
ing asked to pay from $3.50 to $500
to be "lOcated' on government land
under the supposition that an all-Amer-
lean canal is to be built to cover the
land with water.
In line with this scheme, and as
though to bolster it up. the following
correspondence is published in the Los
Angeles Times:
GREAT IRRIGATION PROJECT
1.-TWO Hundred Thousand Acres viii
Be Opened Up in Imperial Valley
by the New Enterprise.
Imperial, June 18.-AbOut 200. 900
acres of mesa land will soon be opened
up east Of Imperial. This tract will
receive its water supply through an
all-American canal out OF the Colorado
river, which contains surplus water
sufficient to irrigate an area three times
as 81 great as the entire Imperial valley
In its usual conditions. This land has
been declared by a soil expert to be
the best fruit land in Southern Cali
fornia and well adapted to fruit grow
ing. The opening Of this new section
will bring to the front in tlfiS valley
the fruit industry. As yet it is still
in the experimental state. but where
it has received serious consideration
it has much more than made good.
Given the proper soil, the Imperial
valley will furnish all else that is need
ed to make this one Of the greatest
fruit sections in California.
tsTn addition ~ o.,
for irrigating this vast acreage, the
new canal will also develop enough
power to run the machinery of the
valley for probably all time. 1t is
considered a conservative estimate bv
experts that the canal will carry 10000
horsepower.
-. B. Lippincott. the assistant en-
gineer Of the Los Angeles aqueduct. is
the authority on the project, and the
following recommendations made by
him few days ago will likely be fol
lowed by those in charge as soon as
the engineering department has estab-
lished the cost. He recommends a
canal from the Laguna dam through to
the mesa on the east side of Imperial
valley, dividing it into ,the following
sections: from the Laguna dam to Ell
Rio for canal Of a capacity Of 5000
second feet: for a tunnel lined with
concrete from Ell Rio to the west
portal on the mesa on the east side
of Imperial valley; for an open canal
from the west end of the tunnel to
hydraulic grade on the mesa; for a
canal from Ell Rio around the south
side Of Pilot Knob, and for a tunnel
thence under the sand. hills to the
mesa on the east side Of the valley
This will be one of the greatest en-
gineering feats ever attempted in this
section, but it will be carried oui
with all the speed that such great feats
will allow. 1t is expected that the
work will be finished within two years
: from the time it is begun"
1t would be difficult to conceive Of
a more misleading article than this

There are some reasons why an all
American route would be good thins

estimated the cost at approximately
$50. 200, 900 and condemned it as not
practicable.
An electrical engineer connected with
one Of the largest companies looked
into it and condemned it as impractical
as a power development project, be-
cause Of the light fall in proportion to
the volume Of water
There was a demand for the all
American route, however, and the di-
rectors Of the irrigation district felt
that they should determine definitely
and for all time the practicability of
the project, and they sent corps
of engineers over the ground carefully,
taking elevations and digging test pits.
Then ]. B. Lippincott was brought here
as consulting engineer. He went over
the ground and to him the data was
submitted. He has not made a final
report, and he has not recommended

In fact, all that Mr.. Lippincott has
said can be construed as guarded
warning against undertaking so great
and so unnecessary a work, the eX-
pense of which he placed offhand.
speaking without having worked out
the details, at between ten millions and
twenty millions of dollars.
The duty Of the Colorado river at
minimum flow is estimated to make
safe the reclamation of between 45O,-
900 and 100000 acres in Imperial
valley, and to go beyond that acreage
is to invite waller shortage at minimum
flow in the river.
Therefore, there is not only no prob
ability of the valley assuming the need
less task Of building a new canal sys-
tenn at a cost of $50 to $40 an acre,
but it becomes a certainty that that
will not be done when it Is cOnsid-
cred that such canal would bring un-
der water from 40 to so per cent more
land than engineers say is within the
water limits.
Imperial valley is surrounded by
millions of acres Of desert land that
would be good farming land if water
was available. But it must be def
nitely and finally understood that the
farmers of the valley are not only not
going to aid in financing projects to
place water outside definite boundaries
but they are going beyond this and
are not going to permit the water, to
be divided on acreage which will make
the allotment Of water inadequate fol
| all.
Some time in the far future there
undoubtedly will be storage projects
on the Colorado, and then there will
be another story, but for the presen
