BIG BEND PROJECT. 



Mr. Joseph Jacobs, consulting en- 

 gineer of Seattle, Wash., has com- 

 pleted the preliminary survey for an 

 irrigation project on the Quincy flats, 

 Grant county, Washington, on what 

 the Reclamation survey has called the 

 Big Bend project. His report covers 

 a project of 290,000 acres, lying in one 

 contiguous body without hills, ravines 

 or any other defects, to prevent cul- 

 tivation. 



The project calls for an outlay of 

 $100 per acre for water, but this is 

 satisfactory to the settlers, for within 

 fifty miles is the famous Wenatchee 

 Valley, where land has sold for $3,000 

 per acre and the land embraced in 

 the Quincy project is said to be bet- 

 ter, with a longer season, and an alti- 

 tude of 1,000 to 1,300 feet. 



Experts claim that this will be an 

 ideal winter apple country. Water
