M. A. Lovett, of Abilene, who owns four sections of 

 land near Kermit, will develop it by irrigation with pumps. 



WASHINGTON. 



Secretary of the Interior Fisher has signed the con- 

 tract for the High Line Canal for the Kittitas irrigation 

 project. The canal will water 91,000 acres of land in the 

 Kittitas valley, will be 90 miles long, 26 miles from the in- 

 take to the junction, the north branch being an additional 

 50 miles in length and the south branch 14 miles. The 

 water supply for the district will be from the government 

 storage works at Lakes Kaches and Keechelus. The 

 former lake storage reservoir, which will be completed 

 this fall, has a capacity of 165,000 acre-feet, and the latter 210,- 

 COO acre-feet. The headworks of the high line canal will 

 be located about V/2 miles west of the town of Easton, 

 and about three miles below the Lake Kaches storage 

 reservoir. Water will be diverted from the Yakima river 

 at an elevation of 2,175 feet by a concrete dam 150 feet 

 long and 50 feet high. 



Work of relining the canals of the Okanogan govern- 

 ment irrigation project with cement has been resumed, the 

 irrigation season closing August 28. A portion of the 

 canals was lined last spring and the remainder will be 

 completed this fall if possible. 



Eliminating all the land owned by the remonstrants, 

 the superior court has granted the petition for the crea- 

 tion of the Paradise irrigation project. This now includes 

 50,000 acres of dry farm land in the northwestern part of 

 Umatilla county and is to be irrigated by the flood waters 

 of the Umatilla river. The plan calls for the building of a 

 reservoir at the head of Cold Springs canyon, in which 

 the surplus winter flow of the river is to be stored and 

 then transferred to the land to be reclaimed. The pro- 

 motors declare that the project has been financed and 

 that construction work will start within six months.
