DAILY. OTTABD
PfiOJECT SUCCESS;
ITER TURNED IN
' u C. Abies' Irrigation project in
the Springfitld vicinity is now a suc
cess. Water from the McKenzie wan
turned into his 285-scre farm this
reek, and Engineer Hobson, who has
change of the work, says he has never
seen a finer .' )ad of water in a new
ditch. t
"1 promised that I would complete
this first irrigation project without
anybody morgagtng their farms to pay
for it," says Air. Abies. "Although I
have had many difficulties to over
come I have kept my word. I fully be
lieve that time will see all this sec
tion irrigated in smell tracts and the
population and wealth of the com'
munlty Increased many fold."
Water rights have been secured to
Irrigate about 20,000 acres, and with
ft little more work on the ditch every
farm in that section may have water
If the -owner desires it, says Mr,
Abies.
' The first unit will be of an educa
tional nature,,' nd will be used pri
marily to denonstrate the worth of
irrigation here, he says.
' A long Blough paralleling the Me
Kensle for some distance has saved
the construction of much ditch, and
has made the project quite reasonable
in cost, he holds.
- Clover fields and orchards are now
getting plenty of water.
An attempt will be made to for
ever done hotels, business houses
end amusement resorts where llq
nor Is handled, according to Dis
trict Attorney Johnston this morn
In. '
"Such places as were raided at
Oak rid (re last Sunday morning will
be stopped by permanent court ln
. junction," declared the prosecutor.
"If the judge sees it as I do."
From now on, Mr. Johnston any a,
be will throw all possible cases
Into circuit court for Injunction.
There's only one way to stop some
people from breaking the laws, ac
cording to the district attorney, and
that is to- "cripple them In the
liochet-book" by , making ' their
property Idle, and therefore non
revenue producing.
