The Mesa county irrigation district has placed an 

 order with the Engineering Company of Denver for a 

 new centrifugal pump, to be used in supplying water to 

 the 8,000 acres in that district. The pump is to be in- 

 stalled by February 15th. If the pump operates success- 

 fully a second of even larger capacity will be installed. 

 The two pumps combined will have a capacity of 19,000 

 gallons per minute. 



Jas. T. Macey, of Denver, has filed maps and state- 

 ments for the Grosvenor irrigation system with the county 

 clerk. The system will include a pumping station, under- 

 drains and ditches, with a diverting dam, all costing $6,600. 

 Water will be obtained from Sand creek and the land to 

 be reclaimed is in the southern part of Weld county. 



Twenty-four entrymen under the Laramie-Poudre 

 irrigation project, who were in danger of losing their 

 claims through contests, have been assured by Secretary 

 of the Interior Ballinger that the contests against them 

 will be dismissed. The decision states that there was no 

 evidence of fraud and that if the irrigation project is 

 carried out it will bring water to the land. The entrymen 

 were given further time to make final proof. 



J. M. Ginrich, of Denver, will build an irrigation sys- 

 tem for the purpose of watering 1,000 acres of his 46,000 

 acre ranch north of Greeley. A shallow well will be built 

 across a creek to catch the underflow, which underlies 

 most of that territory. The well will be but from 12 to 

 35 feet deep, but will be 150 feet long and four feet wide. 

 Short piling will be driven in it to stop the underflow and 

 force it to the surface. Here it will be pumped to the 

 land by a gasoline engine. 



The Beaver Land and Irrigation Company with hold- 

 ings near Penrose has completed the Schaffer dam, which 

 is conceded to be the most practically built and most 



SAMSON TURBINE 



When the PUMP cannot be direct connected to 

 the turbine shaft, the power is usually trans- 

 mitted by gears, shafting, etc. On account of 

 the HIGH SPEED of the SAMSON, for a given 

 power, lighter and consequently CHEAPER 

 transmission machinery can be used.

In 1876 the O F TO was theonly practical gas engine, and year after year since that time has the OTTO forged ah 

 improvements and resultant growth of business and reputation. 



Today, with over 100,000 OTTO engines and over 11,000 OTTO Suction Gas Producers in successful operat

 gasoline engines. Now, the significance of this to you is the O T TO Company could not possibly have attained a < 

 beyond all others if the OTTO products had not also been superior to all other gas and gasoline engines- 



And, as noted before, it is of still f rther significanc that this success is e tirely due to the merits of the OTTO 1 

 having never resorted to "brass band" methods. Now, if you are more interested in past accomplishments tha
