The work en this system was commenced last February and 

 was completed early in August. The wells are sunk 120 feet 

 deep but the water is within 45 feet of the surface. The en- 

 gines at the Portales plant have 1,500 horse power with 2,750 

 horse power gas engines and producers. 



The bonds recently voted by the Orchard irrigation dis- 

 trict near Farmington, for the purpose of building a project 

 known as the Illinois ditch, have been approved by Judge

 This project will reclaim 12,000 acres.

 structing a dam at the mouth of Dry Creek with which to 

 impound sufficient water to irrigate 10,000 acres in Goose 

 Lake Vallev. 



The Rock Reservoir & Canal Company proposes to irri- 

 gate 5,000 acres of land lying between Pilot Rock and the 

 junction of Stanley and Alcott creeks, eight miles south of 

 the Rock. The company is capitalized for 10,000. Stock-

The Snake River Irrigation District, Ltd., is a new cor- 

 poration organized in Malheur county for the purpose of 

 irrigating 12,000 acres of land lying between Malheur Butte, 

 two miles west of Ontario, and on the north side of the 

 Malheur river and west of the Snake river, and extending 

 to a point opposite Weiser, including- Dead Ox flat. The lands 

 are to be irrigated by means of current wheels to be installed 

 in the Snake river, the wheels to be run by the power of the 

 water. This plan has been tried out at Pasco, Wash., on the 

 Columbia river, where water for irrigation purposes has 

 been lifted 220 feet. The plan of the Snake river irrigation 

 district is to install two of these pumping wheels in the Snake 

 river, one of which will be at the mouth of Jacobsen's gulch, 

 five miles north of Ontario. One of these plants will lift 

 the water 46 feet above the river, and the other plant will 

 lift the water 103 feet above the river.
