 shall have first right to the use ther^f^n filing an applica- 

 tion to the territorial engineer as in theTS$.<t>f an original 

 appropriation, but if the owner shall not file such Application

 pearance on the surface of such seepage water, any party 

 desiring to use the same shall make an application to the 

 territorial engineer as in the case of unappropriated water,

MORE 

 WATER 



LESS COST 



Y 



"OU can not only have 

 more water at less cost 

 but you can be entirely 

 independent of irrigating companies. On your land there 

 may be a dependable source of water supply that, together 

 with a simple, powerful I H C gasoline engine will solve 

 the irrigating problem for you. 



An I H C engine will pump the water 

 in needed quantities from its source of 

 supply to the place where you want it. 

 It will pump for hours, cheaply and unfail- 

 ingly; requiring so little of your attention 

 that you can go right on with other work. 



I H C Gasoline Engines 



are not only the cheapest, most efficient, 

 most dependable power for irrigating pur- 

 poses, but they save their cost by the 

 other work they will do. 



An I H C gasolene engine will simplify the 

 hired help problem for you by running the churn, 

 pump, cream separator, fanning mill, feed cutter, 

 feed grinder, grindstone, washing machine, wood 

 saw, thresher, bean huller, cider press, alfalfa cut- 

 ter, and other similar machines. 



There is an I H C gasoline engine for every 

 section and for all farm uses vertical, horizontal, 

 both stationary and portable engines on skids, 

 gold medal gasoline tractors, sawing, pump- 

 ing, and spraying outfits. Sizes range from 

 1 to 35-horse power.

 logue and full particulars, or, address the nearest 

 branch house.
