Into these water wlll be dumped, dams constructed at conven lent places and the water raised to the level of the surrounding country, where it wlll be carried out in laterals con structed for that purpose. Several of these dams have already been con structed and are now being used in this way with great success. The promoters of this canal deserve great credit for the enterprise they have shown in goi-ng into a country where Irrigation was unknown and attempting to put through to cempletton such II. sys tem of irrigation, but their 'efforts are meeting with entire success, and many of those flrst opposed to. the enterprtse are now beginning to realize the' great advantage it means to them personally in the insurance of regular crops and greatly increased yields. . They will ap preciate the enterprise more and more as time passes on. The full realization of the most san gu1ne expectations for this enterprise, would, if effected, make an inland lake of 30,000 to 40,000 acres, the' average depth at high water being about thirty feet. Should the water supply, from View on Orand Lake Reservoir Canal, Oreat Bend, Kansas. both flood and underflow, prove suffi cient to meet the demands for irrigation along the canal and provide 'sufficient of seven feet.

This furnishes a considerable run-off to go into the flow and underflow of the streams and become available for the ditch. The country Is well settled with thrifty farmers who have long de sired a means of breaking the 'dry spells. which are almost certain to reduce the. crops.
