Water plan for valley irrigation gains support
Milton May 24 special correspondence describes Walla Walla valley irrigation plans by ex Spokane chamber of commerce member A L Copeland. He proposes concrete irrigation ditches across a 20 acre tract north west of Milton, powered by a 5 hp engine to supply trees via buried pipes, claiming nine tenths of water now wasted could irrigate more land with less water. Copeland envisions widespread adoption, enabling smaller per acre water use.
