claims for the storage sites.
Many Of the beneficiaries under the
Topaz lake are not i'll position to use
their stored waters and would be glad
OF an opportunity to allow some one
else to use these waters until they
are i'll position to use them and if
an equalizer canal were built. the pco-
pie on the east fork might be allowed
to use these surplus waters as long as
they exist or until the reservoirs on the
east fork are built.
There seems to be no provision i'll
the Irrigation District Act covering
these conditions of local improvements
and it was found necessary to hold a
general election in the district in order
to authorize the expense, though it is
realized that no one except those in
terested i'll the expense should vote
upon these questions.
1t is true that any clector i'll the dis
trict has right to vote but it would
seem, i'll justice to the people of the
east fork, that no others should vote.

ANOTHER STILL" ALARM

Telephone operators are carefully
instructed as to what to do in case of
alarm OF fire, but even the most care
ful instructions cannot provide against
contingencies as unusual as those
which faced the Misses Katie and
Lillian Wolbrecht of Summit, Miss.
recently when they called the local
plant to send in all alarm.
The chief engineer and his colored
assistant, according to the New Or
leans Times Picayune, were both deaf
and could not be made to hear the
alarm. After repeated attempts to
arouse them, the operators sent out
calls to individuals and summoned a
''6ucket brigade which extinguished
the blaze.

Reports Of officers showed the total
expenditures to have been S12.593 and
that there has been built five and one
hall miles of the most difficult part
of the ditch and that $1,000 additional
expenditure would be necessary to
complete the rock work, after which
construction would be rapidly rushed
to completion. 1l,275 linear feet OF
canal mad been completed in December.
The following written report was
submitted to the stockholders:
From December Isl to date APP
been Is per cent completed i'll this two
miles about % per cent has been cut
through solid rock. All that will be
required to complete this last two
miles, and bring same TO grade will
DC to shoot plug holes in the unfinished
portion OF the bottom and take up
same to depth OF II to feet
through the hard rock hummocks and
ridges yet rcaniring: which is now
rapidly beng done the full width OF
the canal bottom. towit: II feet, at
the rate of 3C0 ineal feet per day by
using recently installed portable
shovel. This rock work will be fin
ishcd about March lst.
After that date we expect to be
working under usual excavating con-
ditions, to wit, loose soil. loose rock,
sand and gravel mixed constituting
the matrix of the surface along the
line of survey Of West Side Canal,
throughout practically its whole
remaining length; the first twelve
miles OF which we expect to cut to
iull size, to wit, Y feet wide on the
bottom with depth sufficient to de-
liver all water needed for the 10000
acres of irrigable land lying there
under. Thereafter the remaining 5
miles of main Conal to be constructed
along the line OF survey together with
such of the principal distribution later
ais as the Company may by vote of the
Stockholders decide to build. will be
constructed of sufficient size and ca
pacity to properly fulfill all require
ments and in the most practical and
economical manner, meeting condi-
tons as they arise
As to possible stock assessments.
after the par value of $500 per share
has been fully paid feel convinced
that none will be required to com
plcte construction according to pro-
gram above outlined and also that
maintenance charges will not be an
item for consideration for some time

that the cash on hand was sufficient
