THE IRRIGATION AGE.

is not difficult to understand when one realizes that at Blue- 

 water is found the only spot on the railroad for a hundred 

 miles where anything is, or, for that matter, can be grown. 

 When asked as to the markets, the manager, Mr. E. Z. 

 Ross, located at Albuquerque, New Mexico, laughed and said 

 that they had to fence against their market, but when one 

 realizes that this land is situated in the midst of one of the 

 few remaining sheep districts and that perhaps a quarter of 

 a million sheep range within one hundred miles of it, with 

 practically no other feed being grown in that vast territory 

 outside of the excellent range, one can well understand the 

 remark. Then, too, the camps of the American Lumber 

 Company within twenty miles, Fort Wingate a little farther 

 off, where hay is shipped in by the government from Cali- 

 fornia, the thriving coal town of Gallup just beyond Win- 

 gate and Albuquerque, where they have to ship in hay, etc., from 

 Kansas, prompt the query whether New Mexico will ever be 

 able to raise enough to supply its own needs and reduce the 

 exorbitantly high prices now obtained for products of the 

 sale to a level approximating the prices for which similar 

 products can be obtained in other parts of the country. 



RECLAMATION SERVICE NOTE. 



The installation of the high pressure gates in the outlet 

 tunnel of the Pathfinder Reservoir has been practically com- 

 pleted. The electrical operating machinery for use in con- 

 nection with the gates has not yet been installed as the power 

 house is in process of construction. The gates have, how- 

 ever, been operated with oil pressure from a hand pump 

 against 'a small head and have been found to work very satis- 

 factorily. The dam has been built to an elevation of 81 feet 

 above the foundation, bringing it therefore to a distance of 

 129 feet from the level of the road bed passing over the crest 

 of the dam. The engineer in charge of the construction esti- 

 mates that it will require about nine months to complete the 

 structure. The work is now entirely out of the reach of high 

 water, and can, therefore, be pushed as rapidly as the plant 

 and force employed will permit. 



Water will be furnished from the Williston irrigation 

 project, North Dakota, under the provisions of the Reclama- 

 tion Act, in the irrigation season of 1908, for the irrigable 

 land shown upon farm unit plats of Township 154 North, 

 Ranges 100 and 101 West, and Township 155 North, Range 

 100 West, approved April 24, 1908, and on file in the local 

 land office at Williston, North Dakota. Homestead entries, 

 accompanied by applications for water rights and the first 

 installment of the building and operation and maintenance 

 charges, may be made under the provisions of said act for the 

 farm units shown on said plats. Water right applications may 



also be made for lands heretofore entered and for lands in 

 private ownership, and the time when payments become due 

 .therefor is hereinafter stated. The limit of area per entry, 

 representing the acreage which, in the opinion of the Secretary 

 of the Interior, may be reasonably required for the support of 

 a family on the lands entered subject to the provisions of the 

 Reclamation Act, is fixed at the amounts shown upon the plats 

 for the several farm units. , The limit of area for which water 

 right application may be made for lands in private ownership 

 shall be 160 acres of irrigable land for each land owner.
