An injunction has been issued to Wm. Wentz, B. F. Hol- 

 lenbeak and W. I. Albaugh of Redding, against M. J. Barum 

 and B. F. Helfrigh. The plaintiffs allege that they have 

 used 311 inches of water of Pitt river for thirty-five years, 

 and that the defendants are depriving them of the use of 

 this water and appropriating it for their own use. The 

 injunction, which is a temporary one, restrains Barum and 

 Helfrigh from interfering with the irrigating ditch, and will 

 be made permanent if the defendants do not show cause 

 to the contrary. 



The Tulloch irrigation system has been transferred to 

 the South San Joaquin and the Oakdale Irrigation Districts, 

 each of which paid $325,000 for the property. They will own 

 and operate it jointly. The system supplies water to a por- 

 tion of each district, and controls valuable water-rights in 

 the Stanislaus river. New systems will be constructed by 

 both districts, using as much of the old canals as may be 

 feasible, and a joint dam will be built across the Stanislaus 

 river above Knight's Ferry. Bonds to the amount of 

 $459,000 have been issued and bear 5 per cent interest. 



Messrs. Wooster and Sanborn, representing the Solano- 

 Yolo Land and Water Company, of San Francisco, visited 

 Winters recently and laid plans for a new irrigation canal 

 to extend from Putah Canyon through the Wolfskil! and 

 McMahon tracts and thence to Dixon and Elmira. This will 

 place all lands between Elmira, Dixon, Tremont and Win- 

 ters under an irrigation system. The company will construct 

 two reservoirs, one in Coyote Valley and one at the Devil's 

 Gate in Putah Canyon. Water will be taken from Putah 

 Creek, about seven miles west of Winters, on the Solano 

 side. 



M. N. Sheldon and Gep. W. Harney of Marysville have 

 purchased the Peter Kerrigan ranch near Encinal, Sutler 

 County, for $20.000. This ranch will be cut up into small 

 tracts and placed under an irrigation ditch. 



Suit has been filled against the Sacramento Valley Irriga- 

 tion Company by Logan Cecil of Willows, Glenn County, 

 in which he seeks to have the court restrain the irrigation 

 company from building canals and ditches which will empty 

 water into Willow Creek. Cecil claims that the overflow of 

 the creek, through the work of the company, has damaged his 

 property to a large extent. 



E. H. Mecum has installed a four-inch centrifugal pump 

 at the Mecum and Papst orchard just south of Orland. The 

 water is pumped from a well seven feet in diameter. This 

 well furnishes water to irrigate a 20-acre orange and lemon 

 orchard. 



Papers have been hied with the county recorder at Red 

 Bluff by the Sacramento Irrigation Company, organized under 

 the laws of Oregon, whereby the use of 80,000 inches of 

 flowing water in the Sacramento River is claimed. This water 

 is to be used in operating a pumping plant to divert water 

 from the river for the purpose of irrigating lands in the 

 Antelope Valley east of Red Bluff. The company also 

 claims 5.000 inches of water for irrigation purposes, to 

 be used in irrigating the lands above mentioned. 



Len A. Walton, a fruitgrower near Yuba City, is 

 boring a deep well on his place for irrigation purposes.

IS BACK OF 



The Beaver Park Fruit Lands 



In buying irrigated land the first thing to 

 be considered is the irrigation system itself. 

 Why not get the best while you are getting ? 



We have unimproved 

 land; also growing 

 orchards from one to 

 two years old. Prices 

 from $200 to $400 per 

 acre. The greatest 

 values in Colorado. 

 Easy terms. Ten years 

 time on unimproved 

 land, in equal pay- 

 ments. Growing 

 orchards, $1000 to 

 $2000 down on a ten 

 acre tract, balance 

 yearly until paid. 



Beaver Park land 

 has increased in value 

 over 100 per cent 

 during the past two 

 years. It is going to 

 do the same thing in 

 the next two. Own a 

 FRUIT FARM and be 

 independent for life.
