Indirect losses will make the total up
to fun hundred thousand, though
in event that the Lyman dam were
never built again it would reach
over half million.

Emergency Measures Being Taken.

"A good force is now at work on
the town ditch and old field ditch
which belongs to the St. Johns Irriga-
ton company so that water will soon
be on the old fields and in town. 1t
is a puzzler to know what to do to
put water in the Lyman canal and on
the bench, for the canal intake is the
reservoir gate that stands twenty feet
above the river. Pumping and build
ing a high diversion dam are both
proposed The chances are in favor
Of constructing a high, tight, earth di-
version dam.
"The fields Of Hunt, the Meadows
and St. Johns are ell so wet and
muddy that little can be done as yet,
but as soon as they are dry enough
crops will be planted. as the natural
flow of the river. with last winters

Permancnt Rellef Needed.

Many offers of relief have been
received. We need relief, but il is not
immediate relief, for we have food
in plenty and are able to care tempo
rarily for those of our number who
lost their homes. But, at the same
time, many of our Spanish-Americans
whose homes were washed down were
poor people and they need help to re-
build and refurnish. Our farmers were
already in debt for the Lyman reser-
voir and dam and their only hope of
ever paying out now lies in rebuilding
the dam at an early date and that will
take at least a hundred thousand dol
lars capital. If it Is not rebuilt, and
that right away, bankruptcy awaits
the entire community Woodruff has
food and clothing for immediate re-
lief, but this is the eleventh time that
those poor people have lost their di-
version dam, and three times it has
been because of reservoir breaks.
The people Of Hunt need relief, for
they were already heavily involved.
and must go deeper in debt to build
their Udall dam We need capital to
assist us in rebuilding. We must
have 1t. We must find II, and then
we can recover OF adversely we of
