L. R. Erskine & Son of Artesian City are installing 

 an irrigation outfit on their ranch on Dry Creek. They 

 expect to raise the water from wells into a ditch and 

 carry it on to the flat to their orchard. 



It is reported that -the Snake River Irrigation Com- 

 pany of Boise has been financed and that the contract 

 for the dam has been let. This work involves the ex- 

 penditure of $500000. The contract calls for the com- 

 pletion of the work within five months from commence- 

 ment of construction. The dam will be of the gravity 

 type and will be of reinforced concrete. The dam will 

 be 22 feet high, raising the water 14 feet above low water. 

 The spillway will be 450 feet long, and the base, up 

 and down stream, 53 feet. This property is known as 

 the Castle Butte project. 



The Secretary of the Interior has prepared a set of 

 rules to govern the pumping of water by settlers on the 

 Minidoka irrigation project, Idaho, from the Government 

 canals to the high areas. 



These rules will not permit the installation of cur- 

 rent wheels in Government ditches. They provide for 

 the delivery of water for high land areas into pumps 

 adjacent to the canals. Their purpose is to protect the 

 works from injury and to facilitate the measurement of 

 water in its distribution. 



The charges for water shall be the same as for grav- 

 ity lands.

Our business is the investigation, engineering, construction, and operation of 

 Hydro-Electric Power Developments and Irrigation Reclamation, including Sec- 

 ondary Irrigation by pumping, a feature which under right conditions and prop- 

 erly engineered will double or treble the available area under the ditches. 



We specialize on high dams and dams on difficult foundations, 

 is based on the construction of 56 dams to date. 



Our experience 



At the present writing, May 21st, we have under construction eight dams as 

 follows : 



A dam 45 ft. high and 700 ft. long in Newfoundland; a dam 48 ft. high and 900 

 ft. long in Georgia; a dam 48 ft. high and 470 ft. long in Wisconsin; two dams re- 

 spectively 54 ft. high ard 450 ft. long, and 60 ft. high and 550 ft. long in Minnesota; 

 a dam 86 ft. high and 680 ft. long in Oregon and three smaller dams in Maryland, 

 Indiana and Kentucky respectively. Seven of these dams include a power house in 

 the bulkhead of the dam. The time of construction on each will be about eight 

 months with the exception of the Oregon dam which will require about a year.
