THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



The pipe connecting this plant with the main canal 

 serves two purposes. During the natural flow of the 

 canal it is used as one of the main laterals supplying 

 about 400 acres of land, giving pressure so lawn sprink- 

 lers can be used in the yards as handily as on a city lot. 

 In case of emergency the pumps are started on the 

 Columbia River and the water forced back through this 

 pipe into the canal above. 



It is the intention of the Columbia Canal Com- 

 pany to use a pipe system over the entire tract and any 

 new laterals which will be put in in the future will be 

 of pipe, the old ones being replaced with the new sys- 

 tem as soon as necessary. 



It was not only the possibility of developing an 

 irrigated district which appealed to the promoters of 

 the Columbia Canal Company, but the location was 

 such that a railroad center was sure to come, there be- 



the late fall and early winter, with the result that a 

 large majority of the people who went, to look over the 

 Attalia lands invested. 



Every month saw an increase in the sales and the 

 Dahlhjelm Company now have offices in Minneapolis, 

 St. Paul, Duluth, Winnipeg, Sioux City, Ortonville and 

 Dunkirk and are operating in Chicago as the Dahlhjelm 

 Howell & Company. 



The extensive advertising campaign which is being 

 carried on by these offices are certain to place Attalia 

 foremost among the irrigated districts of the west. So 

 many districts are held back for the reason that a great 

 many of the lands lie undeveloped. Those who have 

 bought lands at Attalia must improve them within a 

 certain length of time and those who are unable to do 

 so themselves are able to make arrangements with the

ing only one gateway from the upper Columbia district 

 to Oregon. The Washington & Columbia Eiver Rail- 

 road and the 0. R. & N. were already operating trains 

 through this district. Later the North Bank, built 

 through the Columbia River Valley and is operating 

 trains over the Northern Pacific tracks through Attalia. 

 A few weeks ago the North Coast Railroad started the 

 construction of a bridge across the Columbia River just 

 above Attalia and have completed their grade for road- 

 bed and bought sixteen acres of land to be used for 

 switch yards and terminal purposes. 



Therefore, the foresight of the promoters of Attalia 

 has already been brought to realization and a thriving 

 little town is well established. 



During the month of June, 1908, Mr. Dahlhjelm 

 took a trip to Minneapolis in the interest of the com- 

 pany, the object being to see whether or not there was 

 an interest in western fruit lands. Through g, little 

 advertising and mingling with the people he found that 

 hundreds were then planning to move to the State of 

 Washington. As a result of this visit, he opened 

 offices in Minneapolis and conducted excursions during 



Canal Company to care for their lands for one or more 

 years.
