Show THE WATER IS COMING the information at last having been given that the hammond canal will be extended on to this city the decks can now be cleared for action and landholders can begin to take stock of their future this section ha has s not suffered for irrigation water this year because nature had stored up an ample supply to th care for the wants of the acres already under cultivation but the limit has been reached so that progress has stopped so far as producing crops on dry acres surrounding the city is concerned and we must have water to do any more the day is rapidly approaching when every stream of water that flows down from the canyons to the vallies in this great intermountain inter mountain west will be made to do its full duty and that day is approaching last fast for bear river the one reliable stream of streams for this water way is considered consi dred the most reliable of any in the entire intermountain inter mountain region for the simple reason that it ran can be fed from bear lake in time of need and the tremendous floods come down from the watershed in the spring time can be diverted so that they will be emptied into the lake there to await the time when it may be necessary to draw upon the supply in an emergency from this reliable source brigham city is to secure twenty five second feet of water a stream just a little smaller than that which now flows down box elder canyon we can see bounteous fruit orchards and vineyards vin yards covering the foothills to thi the east cast and waving fields of hay and grain with heavily matted sugar beet patches all around the north west and south fringe of the city as a result of the coming of the canal water and what this additional acreage will mean to the wealth of brigham city is hard to estimate correctly but that it will mean much goes without saying all this section needs is water and we are fortunate indeed in being able to secure such an amount from bear river which is rapidly being drained to its very limit the soil is here the climate is right the additional water is coming so BO that it should not be difficult for all of us to be optimistic of the future work and patience coupled with the proper combination of the other three great elements will unquestionably bring that thai wealth of material happiness for which all mankind iss is striving |
