Abstract

"E. C. Hanford, manager of the Hanford Irrigation and Power Company was in North Yakima recently from a trip to the 33,00 acres of his company now being placed under irrigation between the new town of Hanford and Priest Rapids of the Columbia river. Mr. Hanford stated that the low line ditch, 15 miles in length, is nearing completion with 250 men and 10 teams at work. The canal is eight feet wide at the bottom and about 28 feet at the top and is six feet deep. It will water 18,000 acres, the largest portion being owned by the Hanford Irrigation and Power Company. The high line, next to come under construction, will water 15,000 acres."
