INCLUDE WHOLE COUNTY.


The irrigation district established
includes all of LaSalle county as well
as the town of Cotulla. More than
100000 acres of rich farm land can
be irrigated when the project is COM
pleted, Mr.. Wildenthal said. The re-
servoir will cover 10000 acres.
The dam is to be two miles in
length and 30 feet high. Its cost has
not yet been estimated.
Much credit is due the Missouri
Pacific railroad and the citizens of
Cotulla. Mr.. Wildenthal said, for the
successful carrying out of the project,
the former having spent thousands of
dollars on the preliminary survey.
Officials and employees of the com
pany will visit the reservoir site Fri
day for a picnic and inspection.
