As previously stated, an important feature of the Kimball project is the close proximity of the storage reservoir to the land which it is intended to irrigate. The outlet canal is only one-half mile long, and at the point where it reaches the land of the district, divisii n gates are located. At this point two main canals branch off. One is known as the South canal and is flumed across the creek and winds for a distance of twenty miles in an easterly direction to a point seven and one-half miles east of the town of Kimball.

The second canal called the North canal, runs along the north side of the U. P. railroad for a short distance and then runs in a northeasterly direction for a distance of fourteen miles to a point two and one-half miles north of Kimball.

These two main canals cover the entire acreage embraced in the district. The town of Kimball is practically surrounded by the district, and no tract of land is more than three miles from a loading station on the U. P. railroad. Within the district there are three loading stations on the railroad, with two additional stations outside the district, one five miles and the other two and onehalf miles distant from the boundaries. This is especially advantageous for the raising of heavy tonnage crops such as potatoes, sugar beets and alfalfa.

The organization of the Kimball Irrigation District was consummated on November 6, 1909. at an election of land owners in the district who were qualified voters. There was not one dissenting vote at this election. Their organization wa- brought about through the efforts of four local residents and business men of the town of Kimball. I. S. Walker, who is now president of the district, is also secretary of the Pioneer I. an.
