THE IRRIGATION AGE.

Former Congressman Franklin E. Brooks, D. H. Moffat, 

 and Senator Hughes, of Denver, are interested. 



The Elk River Irrigation & Construction Company of 

 Denver has filed articles of incorporation showing capital 

 stock of $500,000. Maps have been filed with the State En- 

 gineer, and it is proposed to divert waters of Elk River at 

 a point near Steamboat Springs, and to carry the supply 

 through a canal to the district north of Maybell. From the 

 main canal a branch will be run along the Mesa on the 

 \vest bank of the Elk River to water 20,000 acres. The 

 branch canal will extend north of Bear River and Hayden 

 to water 30,000 acres. The directors of the company are 

 Senator Bardwell, Frances E. Garrett, Earl Wilkins, G. J. 

 Bancroft and W. L. Jameson. This land is located in 

 Routt county and aggregates 150,000 acres. 



A number of Colorado papers recently published a state- 

 ment under date line of Montrose. Colo., to the effect that 

 160,000 acres of land embraced in the Uncompahgre Valley 

 project, in Colorado, would be opened to entry on April 

 20, 1910. This statement is erroneous as to area and loca- 

 tion; the lands to be opened to entry are on the south 

 side of the Grand River, in T. 1 S., R. 2. E., and include 

 about 16,000 acres. They are not embraced in the Uncom- 

 pahgre Valley project and will not be watered from the 

 canals of this system. No date has yet been fixed for the 

 formal opening to entry of the unoccupied public lands 

 embraced in the Uncompahgre Valley project, Colorado. 



IDAHO. 



L. G. Bradley, manager of the King's Hill Extension 

 Irrigation Company, at Hammett, states that engineers 

 have drawn plans, and bids will soon be received for the 

 construction of two large dams for this project. The 

 company proposes to deliver water to 8,000 acres for the 

 coming season, and efforts will be made to water all land 

 in this project before early summer. 



The Secretary of the Interior has awarded the contract 

 to the Ash Grove Lime & Portland Cement Company of 



SAMSON TURBINE 



When the PUMP cannot be direct connected to 

 the turbine shaft, the power is usually trans- 

 mitted by gears, shafting, etc. On account of 

 the HIGH SPEED of the SAMSON, for a given 

 power, lighter and consequently CHEAPER 

 transmission machinery can be used.

The Little Roadster Grader andDitcher 



THE 



ROADSTER 



A Hew, Light Ditch Plowing Machine, 



Especially Designed for Cutting Small 



Laterals on Irrigated Farms, and 



Ditching and Grading Roads. 



This type of machine cuts ditches for 

 less money than any other tool or ma- 

 chinery, because it plows the dirt out of 

 the ditch with one continuous motion, 

 whereas all other ditching machinery or 

 appliances must pick the dirt up and 

 lift it out of the ditch and then dump it. 



The Little Roadster is a practical 

 plowing machine, being built with ad- 

 justable leaning wheels or rolling land- 

 sides which counteract the side pressure 

 of the earth on the mold, the same 

 leaning wheel principle which is used in 

 the sulky plow. 



It is made almost entirely of wrought 

 steel and the few castings that are used 

 are malleable and all parts are put to- 

 gether so far as possible with hot driven 

 rivets, so that while it is a light machine 

 weighing about eleven hundred pounds, 

 it is exceptionally strong and rigid. It 

 is designed primarily for two horses, al- 

 though four may be used. 



EVERY IRRIGATED RANCH OR FARM NEEDS ONE OR MORE OF THESE MACHINES. IT WILL QUICKLY 

 PAY FOR ITSELF. SEND FOR DESCRIPTIVE FOLDER AND LET US TELL YOU MORE ABOUT IT
