A representative of the Times immedi

as we were assured that the slight inter

the (low of w ater preparatory to adopting
a system of rotation for the mon* eco
nomifr.il use of the water during the re
mainder of the irrigating season.
Mr. 1). f'. MaeWatters, Vice-President
anil General Manager of the North Side
project, not Is-ing in the city, was sought
out at Milner hy telephone, and when
askisl regarding the rotation system of
water deliveries, whieh would Is' inau
gurated after August 1st, stated:
"There is nothing about the water sys
tem, so far as water deliveries are eon
eerntsl, to cause the slightest uneasiness.
In adopting the rotation system, we are
simply carrying out the arrangement or
iginally contemplated' hy the state con
tract, and also provided for in the Cni
ted States and State laws, which require
the careful conservation of water and the
lienelieial use ol same, avoiding all un
necessary waste. The rotation system
will undoubtedly Is* adopted within a
very short time on all irrigated tracts,
from the beginning to the end of each
season, as the continuous-flow system re
sults in an almost criminal waste of wa
ter, and is not a good thing for the set
tler nor for the land.
An examination of the North Side
canal system will convince all the settlers
that there is an abundance of water
which we projiose to deliver to the eulti
vated lands under the rotation system,
and
cure tlie most satisfactory results."
Mr. MaeWatters further added that il
was the intention to keep a continuous
flow through the system sufficient for do
mestic pur|sises, the irrigation periisl to

From all we can learn this arrange
