TO MAKE USE OF
 WATER POWER

Utilization of water power now go ing to waste at the Elephane Butte dam in order to save coal and the watering of many acres of bench land will be the dual purpose of the proposeds high line canal which is now being proposed by engineers and land owners in the Rio Grande Valley.
