LAKEVIEW DITCH BREAKS AT BIG HUME =
r CROPS OF ENTIRE PROJECT In JEOPARDY
FIFTEEN HUNDRED FEET OF FLUME VALUED NEAR $4,000
CRASHES TO EARTH ABOUT NOON TUESDAY
PLAN NEW DITCH

The farmers of the Lakeview pro-
ject suffered a decided misfortune
on Tuesday. when the big fiume,
near ~Ishawooa, crashed to earth,
cutting off about fifteen hundred
feet of the ditch which carries water
to hundreds of acres of land known
as Fertile Valley and Diamond basin.
The structure cost about $4,000
to build. and its loss will be a de-
cided jolt to the farmers under the
project. Just what was the cause
of the break is unknown. Roy Wag-
oner, ditch rider, inspected the
1ume in the morning of the day 1t
collapsed. and could see nothing
wrong at that time. The 1fiume,
however, when overloaded. spills a
great deal of water, and ground
underneath, being soaked with wa
ter, has a tendency to settle, and it
is thought that some movement be-
low is the most likely reason for

the destruction of the flume. d
Several nearby ranchers heard
the crash and witnessed the hume
fall. stating that the entire fume
seemed to collapse at once, falling
with a force which splintered almost
all of the heavy timbers which held
it in place many feet in the air.
E. NJ. Ballinger, president of the
canal company, states that work
will be started at once to build a
ditch along the hill, to carry the
water to the land below. This
method of conveyance had been
used several years ago and seemed
impractical. owing to the nature of
the soil in which the ditch must
be made, but the ditch company
finds itself in a predicament-where
it must do something, and are in
hopes that a=ditch can be construct
ed which will serve at least during
the ensuing irrigation season.

CODY'S PUBLICITY WRITER
FEATURE In GAZETTE

AS a result of the efforts of Mar
garet Hayden, Cody's most active
publicity writer, the Billings Gazette
In it's Sunday edition carried a very
complete and interesting article rel
alive to Wyoming road develop
ment, and especially with regards
to the improvement of the highway
thru Shoshone canyon to Yellow
stone National park. Photographs
of the Hayden Arch, which links
the new South side road with the
improved highway leading to the
dam on the north side are shown
with the article, and widespread
publicity which will be given this
project through the circulation of
the Gazette will induce many mo-
florists to choose this route on en-
tering or exiting from the park
this season.
The author has given due credit
to those who have played such a
great part in the building of this
project, and tells in her pleasing
manner of the beauties to be seen
as the tourist passes thru Shoshone
forest to natures wonderland. Gov.
Ross's visit to the Buffalo Bill coun-
try, and her trip up the Northfork
also m in for prominence. .
