To OPEN LANDS

struction Of an all American canal
along the California border TO re-

system Of the Imperial valley. the
largest irrigation project in the

honorably discharged soldiers. sailors
and marines with war service Of 2O0.-
600 acres Of public lands on the east
mesa Of the valley. which will be
irrigable from the proposed canal.
Bill Is Redraft.
The bill is a re0raft worked out
during the holiday recess by a sub
committee on irrigation OF arid lands
which has had several measures de-
signed to relieve the situation exist

sideration. Hearings before the com

Interrupted flow Of the main canal
the diversion point on the Colorado
river. swings through Mexican terri
tory for 40 miles before distribution
is made to the American ranchers-
The water users or the Mexican side,
where over 100000 acres are being
irrigated, do not wish to join in the
maintenance Of the main canal and
the protective works in Mexico, &C
cordinE to testimony presented to the
congressional committee
Canal Offers Relief.
Relief is sought through the build
ing Of q highline canal entirely on
American soil. making necessary
cut through a low range Of sandhills,
which the present main canal avoids
by the detour into Mexico. Approx
mately 100000 acres OF Withdrawn
public lands, similar in quality to
that OF Imperial valley, but lying
above the present Imperial canal sys-
TEN, viii come under the proposed

such soldier settlement legislation as
the congress may enact
