Interesting to Advertisers. 



It may interest advertisers to know that The Irrigation Age is tht 

 only publication in the world having an actual paid in advance 

 circulation among individual irrigators and large irrigation corpo- 

 rations. It is read regularly by all interested in this subject and ha 

 readers in all parts of the world. The Irrigation Age is 23 years 

 old and is the pioneer publication of its class in the world. 



We . are presenting in this issue chapter 

 Irrigating three of the Art of Irrigation, by T. S. 

 Head ^an ^J^e, tne subject being The Irrigat- 



ing Head. This will prove very inter- 

 esting matter for our readers. 



We are presenting in this issue a lot of 

 The Tri-State half tones showing scenes along the North 

 Canal Platte River; also views of the Tri-State 



Canal, and views of homes in that sec- 

 tion. We are indebted to the Tri-State Land Com- 

 pany of Scottsbluff for halftones and matter which 

 later be used in describing this territory. 



We are in receipt of a lot of fine photo- 

 Wenatchee, graphs with descriptive matter concern- 

 Washington. in S ti 16 Wenatchee Canal Company's 



project on the Columbia River at 

 Wenatchee, Washington. Halftones will be made of 

 these photographs, and we will attempt to present a 

 description of this project to our readers in our issue 

 of September. 



Our article on the Belle Fourche Irriga- 

 In Demand, tion Project, which appeared in the July 



number of THE AGE, was so well received 

 by the people of that section that 1,000 extra copies 

 were called for and distributed inside of ten days after 

 the paper was off the press. In fact, 2,000 additional 



copies could easily have been disposed of had it been 

 possible to have gotten out that extra number. We 

 are presenting in this issue matter concerning the 

 Belle Fourche Irrigation Project from an engineering 

 standpoint which will prove interesting to all. 



The Goshen Hole Irrigation project, 

 The Goshen which is a part of the North Platte Irri- 

 Hole Project. gation enterprise, will be treated in an 



article in a future issue in connection 

 with the North Platte article. This consists of the 

 Goshen Hole canal, which heads in the town of Guern- 

 sey, Wyoming, on the North Platte River and extends 

 southeasterly about 140 miles. This canal will cover 

 more than 200,000 acres of land and will necessitate 

 the cutting of a tunnel, which will be one of the largest 

 undertakings, exclusive of the great Pathfinder dam, 

 on the entire project. 



Irrigation 

 Congress. 



We wish to once more call the attention 

 of our readers to the National Irrigation 

 Congress, which will be held at Albu- 

 querque, New Mexico, the last three days 

 in September and the first two of October. The people 

 of Albuquerque and New Mexico have prepared an 

 elaborate program of entertainment and visitors as 

 well as delegates to the congress will be assured of a 

 hearty New Mexican welcome, and a good time gen- 

 erally. September and October are good months to
