Morris, superintendent of construction on the Fish Lake Ditch, was in Medford thiB week accompanied by Mrs. Morris, who will remain In, the city a few days. Mr. Morris tells us that the grading work on the first seventeen miles of the ditch is com pleted, and all the teams will be laid off except a few which will be em ployed in hauling lumber for Burning purposes. The camp is being moved this week from near the drop, back to the head of the ditch where winter quarters will be established. A force of about forty men will be kept at work for about sixty days on the rock cuts, in which time It is expected all this work can be completed. The flumes across the south fork of Little Butte and Lake creeks, the two principal flumes on the line, are practically com pleted. There are a few flames of lesser proportions across gulches and small streams which will be put in during tbe winter. All work on the entire seventeen miles of the ditch is so far along and so nearly completed that assurance Is positively given that water will be carried to the valley by the middle of May, 1902. Both the En gineer, Mr. McCray, and Mr. Morris have been anxiously, and with some apprehension, awaiting the coming of the first hard rains of winter. There was a possibility that at some of the more critical points on hillsides and where excavations were heavy there might be a slump of tbe banks, but since the recent heavy raine a thorough examination of these places have been made and they are found to has with stood the strain without a suspicion of a break any place.
