Abstract:
"David Longmire of the Wenas, is busily engaged with a force of men in cutting a ditch in the mountains. The proposed ditch when completed is calculated to turn a considerable quantity of water into the valley of the Wenas, which now finds its way to the Naches river. The additional supply when procured, will be utilized by Mr. Longmire to irrigate a tract of land owned by him in the upper Wenas."
