There was a land-slide out on the
I'lah Lalio dltoh one night last week,
and much trouble and expense resulted
therefrom, The slldo occurred op
posite Dr, Uoltor's plsco, about ten
miles from tho Intake. Water haa been
running In Iho dltoh past this point,
wliloh Is upon a mountain side, for the
lust month or six weeks and It waa
thought that there was no possibility of
a slldo. Tho first slldo which occurred
took out four or five acres of land from
noar tho foot of tho hill and a second
slide took out equally as much land
higher up on tho hill side-OOO to 700
feet from the baso and with It went
about sovouty feet of the dltoh. The
land all slid down Into Dr. Hoi tor's
Held, covering quite a quantity of bis
agricultural land. Tho land slid fully
2C0 feel and took wllh It fromlZOC
to 800 pine and oak trees, from 0 Inches
to two feet In dlameler. Many of those
trees are now standing, at d aro alive,
but they aro hurdlv us straight up aa
they originally wero. The work of re
pairing tho duinuge done to tho dltoh
bus been commenced. In order to re
pair the dltoh lino It will bu necessary
to go back into the hill thirty to forty
feet and the re colablith the lino ugaln.
The water, however, will be carried
around this point temporarily in a
Ilu in o until the slldo Is permanently
settled. Tho cost ol this repair work
will amount to fully .'i000.
