The Vegas artesian water syndicate of Vegas, Nev., 

 has recently interested Judge Kenneth M. Jackson, and it 

 is proposed to sink artesian wells for irrigation purposes. 

 About 28,000 acres are now under control of the com- 

 pany. 



Work is now progressing on the irrigation system in 

 the vicinity of Lake Wichita, Texas, to water lands in the 

 vicinity of Wichita Falls. Frank Kell, J. A. Kemp and 

 T. R. Orth are backing the proposition. About twelve 

 miles of ditch will be constructed. 



Plans to irrigate 24,000 acres in the Rio Grande valley 

 have been completed by the Texas-Louisiana Sugar Com- 

 pany of Texas, a recently organized concern. About 

 $200,000 will be expended on the irrigation system lo- 

 cated between San Juan and McAllen. 



Directors of the United States Rice & Milling Com- 

 pany of Crowley, La., have arranged to extend the com- 

 pany's canals in Vermillion and Arcadia parishes for a 

 distance of about twenty-five miles. Work will be begun 

 at once. Storage increased by the construction work will 

 water 10,000 acres. 



Recently there has been formed the Arkansas Valley 

 Irrigation Company of Colorado, with capitalization of 

 $400.000, for the purpose of reclaiming lands in Ford, Gray 

 and Edwards counties, Kansas. The company will re- 

 vive the Eureka irrigation ditch, commonly known as the 

 Soule ditch. John T. Barnett of Denver, A. M. Eppstean 

 of Denver, T. A. Scates and Albert Watkins of Dodge 

 City and J. W. Gilbert of Spearville are incorporators. 



Assistant State Engineer Ralph D. Goodrich has ten- 

 dered his resignation to State Engineer Clarence T. 

 Johnston, of Wyoming, and will be succeeded by J. F. 

 Kingston of Casper. Mr. Goodrich has accepted the posi- 

 tion of chief engineer for the company which is 'construct- 

 ing the Oregon Basin project in northern Wyoming. 

 This project is the largest ever undertaken in the state 

 and will reclaim 300,000 acres of land with water from 

 the Shoshone river.
