No opposition is manifested to the proposal among the landowners who will be affected and who will be the primary beneficiaries with the (Completion of the irrigation system. This will work an epoch in the history of Carbon county and of Price City. Just about to realize the position of becoming the center of a large gardening and dairying country, this city was a little more than five years ago suddenly deprived of this advantage by the breaking of the Gooseberry dam. Now this old dream will be realized to an even greater degree than was before possible since the Fish Creek one will store water sufficient to irrigate much more land than would the old system which went out. One difficulty in building the new project is that the railroad tracks on the Scofield line occupy the floor of Pleasant Valley, which will be flooded by the proposed reservoir behind the Fish Creek works. But the removal of these tracks is prefectly feasible, and the recent survey made by Denver and Rio Grande Western engineers has fixed the expenditure and determined a route to be followed. Costs of the total system for irrigating the thousands of acres to be benefitted are low something under twenty dollars an acre. It is proposed to arrange so that interest only must be paid over the first ten years with easy payments on the principal thereafter. With the immediate market for products of the farm, garden and dairy furnished by the prosperous and growing coal camps of this vicinity this section should become one of the best small farm communities in the entire Western country. Poultry, garden truck, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, fruits and many other commodities now shipped in here could and should all be produced right on Carbon countys own lands. The operation of the new water conservation system will bring all this about. th , Ralti-more-t- non-uni- he ns 1, WILL IMPROVE SYSTEM Local Railroad Lna Appropriates Bi( Sum For Betterment.
