g. The ground embraced in this
proposed Drainage District is al
strip of land about three and onel
half miles in length in a Norther'y
and Southerly direction, bound, d on
the Westerly side by the right of
way of the Oregon Short Line Rail-
way Company, which along and att
this place lies directly on the East
Sank of Snake River. This tract efj
land is bounded on the Easterly
side by the canal of Extension Ditch
Company. Lying immediate ly East
of this canal the hills rise up pre-
Netween said canal and the right
of way of the Oregon Short Line
Railway Company were very badly
wa er-logged, swampy, and by means
Of surface and especially under
yround water and water cours have
been rendered water-loSgod and
4 1n-rroductive, and in places very
swampy The observations and ex-
Derience of the farmers on this
ract of land demonstrates that
h lands are getting more and more
ofged, marshy, unproductive,
md unhealthy each year.
The proposed drainage system is
described as follows:
The main drain is an open ditch
Xix feet wide at the bottom and slope
If one and one half feet to one on
tides. This drain will be carried to
iuch depth at various points as
will be necessary, as shown by the
est pits which have been sunk all
'ver the proposed Drainage District,
o drain off all underground as well
IS all surface water. This main
rain begins at the quarter corner
common to sections IL and IA in
'p. N. R. 5 w. B. M, and runs
hence East one quarter of mile;
hence in a North Easterly direction
the low lands and sloughs
o near the center of section IL
aid township and range; thence
North one half a mile and West
alf mile along a certain surface
waste ditch now constructed, to the
northwest corner of said section IL;
hence North about one eighth of
