Immediately west of the main road is a patch of dry land wheat covering over one hundred acres that is a beautiful sight. Air. Reece was highly elated over the excellent condition ot the grain crop, and Btated thut the recent, tains had assured the maturity of all the wheat on dry farms in this valley. From what ean be learned the same result obtains throughout the state, and farmers have good reason to rejoice. This means a big thing for our farmers in a financial way, and will aid materially to the much needed grain crop for the war. An equally, if not more interesting teature of this big farm is the proposition of bringiug a fine stream of water onto the land. According to Mr. Reece, this problem has been uppermost in the minds of the company for some years past. They hold title to a spring with an excellent flow of water in Wash canyon and for years have keen successful in getting only a very small stream onto the land and securing none at all some seasons.. Early this spring Afr. Iteeee, together with Thomas Topham, who has a home and a large tract of land adjoining the Colvin-Reeeproperty, decided to pipe the water to their land and at h cost of $8,000 tho stream has been brought down from the canyon, a distance of 10,000 feet, in flinch vitrified pipe. To one wliois not acquainted with propositions of this kind the fact is almost incredible that it required eight carloads of pipe. The contract for the work was awarded to John J. Boyle and Geo. W. Tanner. The pipe line was completed last week and the water was turned in and is now running on the land. The stream thus converted will irrigate over 300 seres of land and is worth many times the investment. From what ean be learned this is the biggest irrigation proposition undertaken by any one concern in this and neck of the woods. leg gone; an eye out ?

The administration has put forth n ni'li thought for the future in having this work done, and have been constantly on guard, in order not to let anything go through without being dune iii the very best and thorough manner. All work, such as repairing the water mains, making preparatons for many more water users, removing electric light and telephone poles off from the streets onto the edge of has been attended to. The business houses have, without question, been handicapped on account of the condition of the streets for some time, but at tho present time the main streets are passable, and business is almost normal. However, when the paving is finished Payson s business section will no doubt be repaid in a short time for the loss it has suffered during the torn up condition. aide-walk- R. A.
