The valley is irrigated from several large ditches, the 

 largest being thirty-five miles long and irrigating some 

 20,000 acres. The main head gate was constructed in 

 cement at a cost of $10,000. The valley proper em- 

 braces in the neighborhood of 100,000 acres, more than 

 one-half of which is now under cultivation.

 means come to Payette Valley, Idaho, and sojourn here

NORTHWESTERN NOTES. 



SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 2-9. Fifty thousand dol- 

 lars will be expended by the Interstate Irrigation Com- 

 pany on a pumping plant to supply water for 2,000 

 acres of land on the west side of Hayden Lake, forty 

 miles northeast of Spokane. The pumps will have a 

 capacity of 6,000 gallons a minute, and it is expected 

 to have the plant in operation early the coming year.

 heller, president; William O'Brien, vice-president; 

 William C. Kipp, treasurer, and John Malloy, secre-

Farmers along the Spokane River southwest of 

 Spokane are forming a company to build an irrigation 

 ditch on the south bank for twelve miles. A prelim- 

 inary survey is to be made soon, and the company de- 

 sire to get the ditch ready for next year. One thousand 

 acres will be under the ditch, every acre of which .wjll 

 be as valuable as any in the Yakima Valley, or any 

 other garden spot of Washington. The ditch will start 

 near what is known as the Big Drift and will run to a 

 point a few miles above old Fort Spokane.

 go under in time for next season's crop. In preparation

 River, L. P. Horton has begun work on the foun- 

 dations for bridge approaches, which will be 600 feet 

 in length on the Wenatchee side. 



One thousand acres have already been purchased 

 by D. C. Corbin in connection with the big irrigation 

 scheme he is planning, which will involve much of the 

 Spokane Valley between Spokane and the Idaho line. 



The United States Government has begun work on 

 the irrigation ditch near Riverside, Wash., west of 

 Spokane. The ditch will be six miles long and irrigate 

 150 farms.
