AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT!
RESULTSJK INJURY
A. distressing accident occurred
Sunday evening shortly after sun

WATER USERS
OF HIGH LINE
$26,000,000 Project Being Put in
Shape to Lay Before
Capitalists
(Staff Correspondence)
\v.;apPENISH. Nov. 20.—For the
y<>; .'' ~~-*ve since the passage of
th*- ' ''j . '-ill by congress last Feb
ruary Jg*/j Valley? of the Yakima
Water Usei„' association in a position
to go ahead and talk to capital con
lldingly. That bill provides for the
sale by the government of stored wa
ters to private corporations. The
above information was brought out
forcibly today at the annual meeting
of the association held here In the
Commercial club rooms, commencing
at 10 o'clock this forenoon. There
was a fair attendance of the members
and great interest was shown.
From the report of Secretary F. A.
Wiggins it is learned that the asso
ciation has spent more than $5000 in
the preliminary work of getting the
proposition in shape where It can be
shown to the moneyed men who will
be called upon finance it.
Will <Jo It Alone
It is probable that the Kittitas pro
ject and the Yakima one will be dis
associated. There are several reasons
for this belief. The Kittitas propect
is much smaller than the one here,
and water can be obtained therefor in
sufficient quantities by taking out a
canal west of where the waters from
Lake Cle Elum flow into the Yakima
river. Not so, however, with the
Yakima project. This is planned to
reclaim and irrigate more than 300,000
acres of land, for which an ammense
supply of water must be available. The
Kittitas -pjtople want to go ahead
at once and utilize the waters that are
stored in Lakes Kaehes and Kceche
lus, the dams for which have already
been onnsruoted. It yvill take more
time to build the dam at Lake Cle
Elum.
Fisher's Action Appreciated
The action of Secretary of the In
terior Walter L. Fisher in granting
this association further time to interest
capital is appreciated. It Is believed
that it will now he possible to present
tho matter in such light at tho proper
sources of money supply that the deal
can bo made. A word of warning here
may save trouble. Both President Lee
A. Johnson and Secretary F. A. Wig-
gtns cautioned against speculating in
lands on the supposition that they
would come under the High Line canal
as it Is called.
Only Preliminary Survey
Mr. Wiggins said that cases had
come to knowledge where real estate
dealers had made sales based on the
fact that the lands sold were under
tho ditch. It is true that they may be
under the preiminaryr survey of the
line of the ditch, hut that is not final.
Therefore. prospective purchasers
should compel the real estate dealers
to produce maps and substantiate all
claims of that kind, in regard to lands
being under the ditch as it will be
finally located.
There- is at present a corps of en
gineers in the field in Kittitas county
working out some data for the use of
tlie government. The fact that this If
being done, and further, that the Unit
ed States reclamation service officials
seem to look with favor on this big
undertaking, and are anxious to see
work commenced thereupon, have had
a tendency to inspire the local mem
bers of the association to renewed ef
forts.
The Sunnyside government canal
comes through Union gap at an eleva
tion of 900 feet, while tho canal of the
Valleys of tho Yakima Water Users'
association will be at an elevation of
1800 feet. In addition to the land that
can bo Irrigated under tho ditch it is
believed to bo feasible that all land
b.low an elevation «if 1800 feet can
bo irrigated from those waters. The
extra lift of 300 feet will be made by
! raising the water from the carfal by
| nnans of power that has been goner
-1 atod by the water flowing in the canal,
and by taking said power by wire to
where it can bo used for pumping.
\ Plan is Proposed
The annual election of trustees re
sult.! as follows: F. A. Wiggins. Top
penish: II 11. S udder and M. 11. Cal
loway. .North, Yakima; Lee A. Johnson
ami I). C. Hansen, Sunnyside: Walter
Price, Outlook; J. M. Ihongland,
Orandvlew. Right after the adjourn
ment of tho stockholders, the trus
tees met and perfected organization
as f Hows: Leo A. Johnson, president;
il. B. Pcuddor, vice president: F. A.
Wiggins. secretary. Thesp officers
wore ail re-elected. L. J. Goodrich,
cashier of the First National bank,
was re-elected treasurer.
The next move will be to outline
la definite plan to put before lnterest
|ed financial parties us to the bonding
lof the lands as security for tho money
advanced, work having already been
I begun along that line. The fact that
jail the time necessary has been grant
led is invaluable. When capital was
approached before, under Fisher's 60
--da) limit to raise $86,MQ,005, the
capitalists siilosteppul or refused to
entertain such a big proposition with
such B short time for investigation.
