Big Yakima County ditch project aims at 4000 acres
A survey shows four to five thousand acres in Yakima county could be put under cultivation with a new ditch extending about fifteen miles and four miles of fluming. The project, led by Yakima businessmen, would follow the Bounds and Meyer ditch path from the Selah valley along the Yakima river through the Natchez gap into the upper Moxee valley. The plan envisions 22 feet top width and 12 feet bottom width.
