NEW IRRIGATION
ITS COMPLETION

Are Completed.

Will Be Extended to Reach Many

entire northwestern part of tlto vnl-
ley from (Vnlnil Point to fluid Ray,
is rapidly nearing completion. Tho
water will be pumped from Gold liny
and the present day surplus of powor
generated at the power plant will be
utilized.
All the trench for the mains have
been excavated nnd probably half the
nipe laid. The laying is proceeding
nt a rapid rale. Heavy riveted pipe
is eing used.

along the west side of the valley
above the Orchard Home tracts west
of Tolo ; thence southerly towards
Central i'oint,, to which point it will
eveulnally be extended. Many of the
land owners nlong the line have sign
ed up for water.
The water will be turned on by Ihe
middle of June and '(000 acres be
placed under irrigation al once. Its
capacity will be 1.000,1100 gallons n

justify it, the syslem will he extend
