CALENICO, July 90. - About
100000 of the $2.500,000 drainage
appropriation has been spent in the
valley. according to statement
made by Drainage Engineer f. W.
Murphy. The total amount will be
spread over the entire valley. and
when the system is complete it
should not only take care of the
seepagc water but also the waste
water from irrigated lands.
The bonds were voted in May

drains, mostly en- the east side.
where there are 10000 acres need

is % miles long. beginning north
of Holtville and running to within
four miles of the international line
This ditch is now carrying off
water which it is impossible to
measure accurately but which is es
timated at from p to 80 second
feet.
Work is also we'll along in what
is known as the Number 10 section
on the west side, and other work
is progressing in the Number 9
section west and south of Calipat-
ria and north of Westmorland. y
drain ditch is under way between
Ell Centre and Imperial to the west
and there is work going on two
miles south Of Alamorio for the
purpose of giving relief to the Mes
quite Lake district.
Some of the land which was out
of commission from the highwater
table is now being planted to crops; !;

1t is necessary to wash out the al
kali rs we'll as tc drain the lands
in order that they may produce
profitable crops. The valley, so
far as is known. is filled with
water nearly all over and was be
fore it began to be reclaimed. At
Calexico the water table at the be
ginning was 80 feet and at Imperial
80 to 10 feet, and since irrigation
started it has gradually risen.
