Show GOOD NEWS ABOUT A GOOD PROJECT We have all heard about the Newton Dam. We have heard about it for many years. High hopes, were held by the fanners, in the district which will be benefited by it, when the project got underway but their hopes were dimmed dim-med quite a number of times as a shortage of men was apparent, ap-parent, as constructoin was halted because of certain decisions de-cisions in Washington and perhaps when there appeared to be insufficient money to pay for it., Those most interested inter-ested in it, however, have not lost hope and determination determina-tion and they have finally been assured that the project will be completed in its entirety. We have received word that the Bureau of Reclamation lias agreed to pay the full cost of the construction of the high line canals. This decision ends the controversy that has been under discussion for some time so now the whole project can be completed. The clam itself is almost complete. com-plete. We will perhaps see it in use before many months. People of the valley with a little gas to use for a nice ride could do well to see the Newton dam. They would be surprised sur-prised at the work that has been done right under our noses. We like to think of the big and wonderful and use-fid use-fid things being built elsewhere and we pay a lot of money to see them but when something good and worthwhile is being built near us we take but little notice of it. . 1 |
