That the dry districts of British Columbia are very suitable for the broduection of prune plums has long been recognized, yet experienced fruit-growers of that province have found that fruit of that kind cannot be grown to advantage unless a large Supply of water is available, It has been found that with the help of artificial irrigation the prune crop on the Sunnyside Ranch, one of the few orchards in the Grand Forks Valley, IS Buch as to indicate an era of pros- perity for the district af soon as irri- gation is introduced on the many thousands of acres available for Prune growing under conditions of sufficient water supply. Mr. John Simpson, now of Rivers, Man., whose experience with fruit growing at Grand Forks, B.C., satis- fied him of tHe possibilities existing for the Successful' production of brunes under irrigation at that point, led him to call attention to the fact some three years ago. He produced an article on! the subject of prune growing in British Columbia, in which | he at that time refused to encourage 'many who were suf- ciently interested to propose invest- ing or taking an active bart in the industry, because he knew that at that time a large supply of water could not pe obtained at Grand Forks. Since three 'years ago, the prospect of a sufficient Water supply for fruit land irrigation in the Grand Forks Valley has improved very greatly and --these prunes selling at $1.10 a box at prairie points, In round figures, $11,000 was the value of the crop harvested from the nine acres. "Nor is this a record Production for the brune orchard," Says the Grand Forks Gazette, "Fourteen thousand boxes were harvested in a former season." Recognizing the Dossibilities of the Grand Forks district, the British Columbia Provincial Government ig to put in an irrigation System at once, causes every year, and the irrigation system will give 30 inches more, mak- ing 44 inches altogether, The Gov- ernment engineer, Mr. Bicker, made all the measurements. He ig a great enthusiast on' the matter, and says he is Dositively certain that the quan- tity of water supplied by the irriga- tion system will be at least thirty inches. : As indicating the importance of the Grand Forks Valley as a source of prune and other fruit supply, the folowing from an item in the Grand interesting: 3 3 "Forty-three carloads of fruit have been shipped from Grand Forks this Season to date, exclusive of express 'shipments, which woulq amount to several additional cars. Up till last night shipping over the C.P.R. in-| cluded 21 cars of prunes, nine cars of 'apples, one car of plums, gnd six cars of mixed fruit. Two cars of Prunes. and one of apples have gone over the same line to-day, and three additional CATS were shipped vis the Great Northern," .

The contract called for completely filling in the Bpace around the pipe with concrete and must not be used in placing the concrete, Accordingly the following method was used: Prior to placing the pipe a concrete floor was laid and carefully graded for the pipe' to rest upon, After the Pipe had been laid, bulkheads Were erected, divid- ing the tunng] into sections, which were successively filled to within two feet of the roof. Then concrete dams were built to the roof, sealing of the sections, and through holes Drev- iously bored from the surface through the roof, the cavities in each compartment were completely filled. The compartments directly under the river were filled through pipes extending up to a temporary | trestle, +i).
