A NEW OPPORTUNITY 



IN THE WEST OKANOGAN 

 IRRIGATION DISTRICT 



9,400 acres bordering the Okanogan 

 River will be irrigated with the com- 

 pletion of this project. This section 

 combines the soil and climate of the 

 most favored fruit growing districts of 

 the state, with unusual opportunities 

 for dairying and stock growing. A 

 farm unit of 40 acres has been estab- 

 lished and a price fixed on the excess 

 acreage of land by the Board of Direc- 

 tors, which enables the homeseeker to 

 purchase high class irrigated land at 

 prices lower than prevailed twelve years 

 ago in irrigated sections of Washington. 



Send for our FRF.E piiHioition with
