NAPToN ORCHARD is SAVED

As the result of the trip made last
Monday by State Land Commissioner
Day to the Gem District, the fruit
crop on the ranch of Colonel ]. s.
Napton, which adjoins the district
will be saved and his trees kept from
dying Mr.. Day said, however that
the district was in now way respon-
sible for the failure of Colonel Nap
tons water supply.
Colonel Napton's place is far down
on the Patch ditch" said Mr.. Day.
His water is supposed to come from
Succor creek, but there is a question
whether there is any water for him,
as many other rights on that stream
are prior to his.
Need Better Water Right.
"He will have to get better water
right if he is going to save his farm,
and the farm is worth saving. He has
splendid crop of diversified fruit.
We found a way to pump water for
him without cost to the state or any
one, and his trees will be saved for
this year. Next year he can get water
from another source, and | have no
doubt that satisfactory arrangements
can be made for taking care of him. "
Colonel Napton had complained to
the state that the reclamation Of the
Gem district had filled up his ditch
and cut off his irrigation water sup
ply.
