JOHNSON CREEK TO .
BE CONTROLLED
Residents Near Lents Have
Decided to Utilize Recent
ly Raging Creek.
Property owners along Johnson creek
near lente Junction are very mnch in
terested in a project to inprove tbe
stream and cot out some of its numer
ous windings.
As tbe years have past, moot of tbe
timber has been removed from the land
near the creek, but a lot of drift baa
accumulated and there are many places
where it is almost entirely stopped up.
To completely remove all drift along
the stream might prove a mistake, as
wearing of tbe adjacent land would be
far more rapid. As the country near
Hogan. Anderson and Orient ia cleared
of its forests, drainage will be morn
rapid and high waters will be more fre
quent and sodden. People living in the
flat valleys near the stream will be far
more likely to suffer from overflows
tban now.
A few hundred dollars spent in clear
ing parts ol tbe channel and cutting off
some of the windings will relieve tbe
trouble. It would not be necessary to
make cuts to the depth of tbe stream
ted, but if canals are cut a few feet deep
they will relieve tbe congestion and
gradually grow deeper.
The O. W. P. is preparing to guard
against future washouts by potting in
drain culverts every 100 feet, but while
that will save tbe road it will not im
prove prospects for property-holders in
tbe vicinity of Lents Junction. Plane
are now being discussed as to plans for
raising funds to carry through tbe work.
