The following morning they continued
their journey down the valley, noting

down the encircling mountains to Eden
Valley Creek. KerallaU observed, too,
that many Thousands Of acres were sub
irrigated perenially, due to snow water
that seeped down Through the granite
sands.
Halfway down the valley, however
the land on each side of the creek rose
at slight angle toward the hills on
each flank, thus gradually narrowing
the area subject to annual overflow
from the creek. The channel of the
creek grew deeper, too; the man who
would lrrigate these lands in Summer
would have to erect very expensive
dam to raise the waters above the bank
level and divert them out over his hay
lands. Unquestionably, the upper half
of the valley was, by far, the most de-
sirable from every point of view, and

Presently the valley commenced to
pitch downward, the angle of pitch In
creasing gradually as they rode. The
quality of the soil and the quantity of
the grass decreased with the pitch: the
valley commenced gradually to pinch
in until finally they found themselves
riding through a gorge about 200 feet
wide, walled in by towering granite
cliffs about a hundred and fifty feet
high. The gorge suddenly debouched
into vast. semi-erid plain into which
the surging torrent of Eden Valley
Creek poured, gradually dattening out
in the inhoSpitable sell.
What wanton waste" Robin Ker-
shaw protested. The lands too porous
to carry water. And it's poor land be-
