The farmers of the Upper Klamath Irrigation project 

 have become tired of waiting for the Reclamation Service 

 to put water on their lands and many of them are install- 

 ing their own irrigation plants. The source of the water 

 supply is Lost River. 



Messrs. Edwards and Shears of Portland are backing 

 an irrigation project, which, if carried out, will be of great 

 benefit to the land owners and others of the Durkee sec- 

 tion. It is proposed to construct a dam or reservoir on 

 Burnt river to conserve the waters of that stream to be 

 used when most needed for irrigation.

on land which costs you $2,250 will return you $25,000 in ten 

 years, which is better than 100% annually. These figures 

 are taken from the U. S. Government Reports. With proper 

 cultivation and care, which our superintendent gives, 

 your profits will be even larger. 



Bankers and shrewd business men are our best custom- 

 ers. We are planting hundreds of acres for ourselves and 

 want you to share the profits with us. We back our guar- 

 antee by our entire capital of $1,000,000. W 7 e care for the 

 property for you and give warranty deed for the land. 

 You owe it to yourself and family to secure protection 

 against a rainy day and an inheritance for your family.

The Furnish ditch, belonging to the Inland Irrigation 

 Company, of Echo, has been completed, and the filling of 

 the reservoir will be started upon the arrival of the flood 

 season. The water thus stored will be used during the 

 summer months in irrigating the 10,000 acres of land em- 

 braced in the Furnish-Coe project. This ditch has been 

 five years in building. The preliminary surveys and final 

 location was completed in 1906. The ditch is 30 miles 

 long and was constructed to deliver 112 cubic feet of 

 water per second, being capable of irrigating 13,000 acres 

 of land at a rate of 120 acres to one cubic foot. 



John C. White, of Pittsburg, Pa., who has made his 

 home at Roseburg for the past year, has had a surveying 

 party at work locating the route of an irrigation ditch 42 

 miles in length, with which it is proposed to irrigate 20, COO 

 acres of land in the upper South Umpqua and Cow Creek 

 valleys in Douglas county. It is estimated that the sys- 

 tem will cost $800,000. 



An irrigation project which will embrace 4,000 acres 

 of land in the north end of Summer Lake Valley is being 

 promoted by the Ana River Company, of which R. B. 

 Jackson, of Paisley, is the president. The company has a 

 paid up stock of $20,000. 



The Wheeler Land and Irrigation Company have filed 

 an application at the Lakeview Government land office for
