ENGINEERS REPORT FOR 1918

To the Board of Directors and Stock
holders of The Twin Lakes Reser-
vofr G. Canal Company and The
Lake Meredith Reservoir Company.
1 hereby submit to you the follow
ing report of approximate crops
grown, er~duty, expenditures and
needed improvements for the coming
year,
The crop season for 1918, was an
average one, except the first cutting
of alfalfa, which was short. owing
to the late spring holding the water
from the SHOWS back in the noun
tains to such an extent that on the
9Th day of May there was only sixty
feet of water passing by The Lake
Meredith outlet to the river. This
being the case no water was avail
able for trade until May 18th, when
the first water was run. also the
weather was windy and dry, which
made the first cutting of alfalfa light.
and retarded. the growth of sugar
beets.
At the beginning of the season we
had stored in Twin Lakes 1900 A. F :.
in Lake Henry $500 A. F., in Lake
1900 A. f. During the June floods
27,800 A. F. The first river water
was July 18TH drawing a total of
80 days.
And 2s.458 A. F. OF water. With
approximate deduction for seepage
and evaporation 81 PIP A. F. OF wa
ter was used and q total rainfall of
722 inches would make a total OF
23.47 inches of water for each acre
under cultivation, which was 45,342
acres cultivated to crops. (The var
ious crops are shown above.)
The improvement being made on
the Canal is the, building of Steel
Flume across Kramer creek, which
is not yet completed. but owing to tho
changing of plans by placing all
foundations on shale. 1t has so added
to the cost that the Flume when COM
pleted will cost about $40,0O0.0O.
A CanalShas been excavated from
the main Canal to Lake Meredith at
total cost of $13.540.O0. This i'm
provement has enabled us to conserve
all food waters from Bob Creek
drainage and the surplus water turn
ed from the Canal during torental
floods, which was otherwise wasted
by being allowed to spread over the
land and fill the natural depressions
and dry lake beds lying along the
route of the Canal.
A change of river channel at the
Headgate became necessary in order
to protect the Canal from the erosion
of the river. The cost of this i'm
provement was $13U7.91.
In this connection I would recon-
mend further Strengthening of chan
mel in order to lower the sand bar
which forms on the apron OF the dam
and diverts the current away from
the mouth OF the Canal
IMPROVEMENTS
A new drop should be put in the
Lake Meredith Intake Canal. north
OF SugarsCity. This should be made
from the old timbers of the Kramer
Creek wood fiume, thus reducing
the cost of material. And diver
sion Dam on Bob Creek at the point
of departure of the Boston Farm
Lateral. this can also be made from
the old Flume timbers. This will
conclude all the major expenses.
Respectfully submitted.

BY MRS. REUBEN DOWNEY
Ordway has always been proud of
her schools, and tho prevailing senti-
ment of the people has been, and still
is, onward and upward, to the high
est standard of excellence In building,
equipment and instructors.
When our school building burned
1t seemed as II every man, woman
and child considered II personal
loss; and so It was. and now the To-
cation and erection Of our new build
ings should be matter Of interest
and solicitude to every patron OF the
school.
About twenty-five years ago the
first school In Ordway was conducted
in small room on the east side of
town. A year or two later the people
decided to erect school building.
They had but few pupils at that time
and small building would accommo-
date them. But tho they had not
the children they had the vision. y
vision of ordway fifteen years hence,
with population of one thousand,
and school enrolment of two or
three hundred. And they built ac-
cordingly. They built for the future
and were justified in SO doing by the
fulillment of their dreams. Without
vision there is no progress.
Look Into the Future
In the location and erection of our
new building let us look into the
future, lengthen our cords and
strengthen our stakes. We have said
to our school board tby voting bonds
for that purpose) build us up to
date, well equipped school buildings.

But how about. the grounds-are
they all sufficient? viii they ac-
commodate the present number of
pupils and the increase for the next.
fifteen or. twenty years? Would 1t
be wise to provide so generously for
the mental development of our chil-
dren and make no provision for the
physical development?

Someone has said, above all else,
the child must be a healthy animal.
And the following from the pen of

pondering. Our juvenile offenders

balanced children. The perfectly nor

perhaps mischieveous, but he is never
vicious. or a moral offender"
What Is Desired
Now let us have an arrest OF thought
along this line. Are we going to
plan for the physical as well as the
mental growth OF our children? Do
we want a large, well equipped play
ground, or do we not. Come with
me and let us stand in front of the
old building. Now imagine a new
high school building in the center of
the ground, east and west, with n
grade building on either side of 1t,
and what have you left for play
ground, for two or three hundred
children? To say nothing of the
small space at the rear of the build
ing for the use OF the high school
pupils and for barns to accommodate
the horses. Think long and well.
Let us awake to the fact that we are
going to have new school buildings,
and that we will not be satisfied with

and large, well arranged play
ground. We can have this II we want
1t. and will encourage the school
board by strong sentiment In favor
Of the best school buildings and
grounds in this part of the state. for
the children of Ordway.
Childhood Is Dear
On the play ground is where the
child develops, both mentally and
physically. Then let us give our chill
dren their childhood, for If we do
not. we wilH surely find them lacking
in manhood.
Happy hearts and happy faces.
Happy days in grassy places;
That was how in ancient ages
Children grew to Kings and Sagcs.
This is our opportunity and II we
let 1t pass 1t will not come again for
many years-too late for our children
and our children's children. Are We
in a rut? Then every shoulder to the
wheel, and boost 1t out! Every faith
er and mother should be a booster
on this proposition. The present site
is ideal as to location. We cannot
improve on the beauty and conven-
ience of 1t. And II It were large
enough a change would be out of
There is but one way to enlarge It.
Condemn the property in the block
west of 1t. and take It by law This
would cause much friction and long,
tiresome law suit, at a cost of twenty
thousand dollars or more. Ordway
doesn't want to do this, nor does she
want to run the risk OF having to do
1t twenty years hence.
Land Is Available
No, there are tracts of land within
the limits of the city that are avail
able for school grounds, and could
probably be secured for very small
sum, compared with what 1t would
cost to take over the property men
toned above. We are assuming that
there is not an intelligent man or
woman in the district who would take
the stand that II Is not necessary to
provide play grounds for the children.
Fifty years ago we might have eX-
pected that kind of position, but
not today.
Our public school system is expect
ed to produce the all round man or
woman mentally. morally and physic-
ally. If we fail to give to the world
this finished product our schools are
failure. So long as our public
schools flourish, our country Is safe.
So long as American ideas are fought
by accomplished and patriotic teach
ers, the republic will live. When
falls the common school system. free
dom perishes and reason dies. Ig
norance is what has placed Russia
where she is today.
There is no standing still. We
must either go forward or backward.
Let us cast all selfishness, all per
sonal feeling and perjudice aside and
stand united for ordway. her children
and her schools!
