mento, Cnl., up to her brother-iu-law's,
Neil Walcho's, and while on
the routo I discovered quite a mark
ed improvement all along tho way.
Tho first noticeablo improvement
-was in tho ditch of the old Fish Lake
Ditch company, instead of haviug
tho -water running to waste over the
desert they have made a fino canal,
and put bridges over it where tho
xoads cross and got it up iu fine
shape. Another improvement was in
the appearance of the orchards along
the reute: also a few uew houses
iavo been built and everything pre
sents a thrifty appearance in that
fine, but tho bridges along tho county
xoad leading up Ynnkco creek, some
of them at least, arc iu a bad condi
tion, and the county is liable to have
to pay for somo one bciug hurt or
having a horso crippled.
