g. The ground embraced in this
proposed Drainage District is a.
strip of land about three and one
half miles in length in a Norther'y
and Southerly direction, bound on
the Westerly side by the right of
way of the Oregon Short Line Rail-
way Company, which along ard at
this place lies directly on the East
Bank of Snake River. This tract of
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-
cautiously All of the lands lying
between said canal and the right
of way of the Oregon Short Line
Railway Company were very bad'y VI
water-logged, swampy, and by means
of surface and especially under
ground water and water cours haveI
been rendered water-loSged and
non-productive, and in places very
swampy. The observations and ext
perience of the farmers on this
tract of land demonstrates thatI
The lands are getting more and more
water-logged, marshy, unproductive,l
md unhealthy each year.
The proposed drainage system isl
described as follows:
The main drain is an open ditch !
six feet wide at the bottom and slopel
of one and one half feet to one on
sides. This drain will be carri- d tol
such depth at various points as
will be necessary, as shown by the |
test pits which have been sunk all
over the proposed Drainage District,
to drain off all underground as wei
as all surface water. This main
drain begins at the quarter corner
common to sections II and ID in /
Up. 8 N. r. 5 w. B. NJ, and runs
thence East one quarter of mile
thence in North Easterly direction
following the low lands and sloughs
to near the center of section IL
said township and range; thence
North one half a mile and West
half a mile along certain surface
waste ditch now constructed, to the
Northwest corner of said section IL;
thence North about one eighth of
a mile to slough at the foot of
bluff; thence in Northeasterly di-
