will be considerably enlarged. An immense turbone 

 will be installed which will hoist the water to the bench, 

 where it will be stored in a large reservoir to be dis- 

 tributed to the land as it is needed. 



The Conrad Land & Water Company of Valier, hav- 

 ing liabilities of over $2,000,000 and assets of about 

 $4,000,000, is in the hand of two receivers. James T. 

 Sanford and W. C. Winton, appointed on complaint of 

 Kennefer & Russel of Denver, who have a large con- 

 tract for ditch work. The company is engaged in the 

 irrigation of a large tract of land near Great Falls, and 

 the two receivers will continue the work. 



National Government engineers have reported 

 against the Teton irrigation project, which it had 

 planned to promote under the Carey Act, with the ap- 

 proval of the state officials. The State Board had taken 

 action to set aside under the Carey Act about 24,000 

 acres of land along the Teton River for the project. 



Governor Norris of Helena received a letter from 

 the Secretary of the Interior, stating that if a portion 

 of the Dearborn irrigation project lands in Lewis and 

 Clark counties are not reconveyed by deed to the gov- 

 ernment by August 15th that action will be instituted 

 for their recovery. A patent was issued for the land, 

 but the government claims that it was not reclaimed 

 properly under the provisions of the Carey Act. The 

 State entered into an agreement with the Ames Realty 

 Company of St. Louis. Mo., to reclaim the land and, 

 after constructing reservoirs and ditches, patent was 

 issued to the State. Floods washed out the improve- 

 ments and the Washington officials asked that the land 

 be reconveyed to the government. The State agreed 

 to sign the deed as did the Ames Realty Company, but 

 the latter instead sold its rights to the Great Falls Land 

 & Irrigation Company of Chicago. 



Invest in Irrigated Land 



The greatest opportunity ever offered to purchase an 

 irrigated farm at a reasonable price is now given YOU 

 by the opening of 16,000 acres of the richest and best 

 land in the Pecos Valley, Texas. 



You can now buy land that will double in value in 

 two years, or if you wish to farm the land purchased it 

 will net you 50% after the first year if sowed in alfalfa 

 and larger returns if planted with fruit after trees begin to 

 bear. Alfalfa can be cut five to seven times per season 

 and will average from one to two tons per cutting. 

 Alfalfa is now selling at $16.00 per ton. Secretary 

 Coburn, of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, says 

 that this great valley will be the "pear orchard of the 

 world." What is true of pears is also true of apples, 

 peaches, apricots and grapes. 



A few of the reasons why an investment in this 

 land must produce large results 



First: It is one of the richest and best bodies of land ever 

 opened to settlement. 



Second i The Sante Fe Railroad runs eleven miles through 

 these lands and no forty-acre tract is more than two miles from the 

 railroad or three miles from a railroad station. 



Third i The market is one of the best in the world. Its climate 

 is healthful and delightful. 



Fouriht The irrigation system has been completed at a cost of 

 over $300,000.00 and these lands are irrigated NOW and water in the 

 ditches, and YOU get a perpetual water-right with your deed and be- 

 come part owner of this great irrigation system. 



These lands are now selling at the opening prices, which prices 

 will be raised from 25% to SSH^c within the next sixty days. 

 THIS MEANS MONEY TO YOU IF YOU BUY NOW.
