THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



an abundance of water from the Riverside ditch, a 

 reservoir will be built to further insure it. By this 

 means a person with but 10 or 20 acres can, in draw- 

 ing his water from the reservoir, use as large a head 

 to irrigate with as though he owned a water right for 

 a whole section. 



The Consolidated Home Supply Ditch and Reser- 

 voir Co. of Larimer County, Colo., are constructing 

 a solid masonry dam, 59 ft. in height, across the Big 

 Thompson Creek, opposite the head of their canal, 

 with J. H. Nelson, engineer, in charge. A height of 

 27 ft. has been reached, and unless winter should 

 prove too severe early completion is expected. 



The Union Oil Company has commenced opera- 

 tions for the sinking of a number of wells on the prop- 

 erty leased from J. Sansinena, about five miles north 

 of Fullerton, California. 



The Anaheim Irrigation District, of California, was 

 voted out of existence. It is estimated that the organ- 

 ization cost the farmers of Anaheim, Fullerton, 

 Placentia, Yorba and other places about $50,000. 



A canal, large enough to carry water to irrigate 

 3,000 acres of land in the vicinity of North Yakima, 

 Washington, has just been completed. The water 

 will be taken from the Natchez river and carried 

 eight miles, finally being emptied into Wide Hollow 

 creek. It was through the enterprise of Mr. Chester A. 

 Congdon, of Duluth, Minn., aided by the efforts of 

 ames M. Gilbert of North Yakima, that definite steps 

 were finally taken to construct the canal. 



Weather observer Beals of Minneapolis, Minne- 

 sota, recently read a very interesting paper before 

 the State Horticultural Society. He reviewed at 

 length the rainfall record and admitted that irrigation 

 was the solution of successful agriculture of the future 

 and also that it would be of benefit to Minnesota at 

 the present time.
