THE IRRIGATION AGE.

embracing the Whitestone Flats, the Horse Spring Coolie 

 country and lands lying across the Okanogan River. 

 Water from four creeks will be stored in reservoirs ten 

 miles south of Loomis. Active business operations will 

 commence early in the spring in order that the system 

 may be completed for the season of 1912. 



Farmers intere=ted in irrigation in the lower Eureka 

 met recently at Walla Walla and planned to reclaim 

 50,000 acres of sandy waste in that vicinity. Articles of 

 incorporation were filed with the county auditor. It is 

 proposed to plant alfalfa and fruit on the reclaimed land. 



A concern known as the Samuel Hill Syndicate has 

 completed its dams and reservoirs for the irrigation of 

 60,000 acres west of Cliffs. It i- proposed to augment the 

 natural supply of water by a pumping system and to have 

 the supply ready for use during the present year. 



Holders of preferential rights to entry under the 

 Tieton government project will not be recognized by th'e 

 Department of the Interior. Circulars recently received 

 state that "no contest will be allowed against any entry 

 embracing land included within the area of any first form 

 withdrawal land reserved for irrigation purposes, com- 

 monly known as land under the second form of with- 

 drawal, until the Secretary of the Interior shall have 

 established the unit of acreage and fixed the water charges 

 and the date when the water can be supplied and made 

 public announcements of the same as in all cases where a 

 contest has been allowed prior to any such withdrawals; 

 the withdrawals, if made before the termination of the 

 contest, will ipso facto terminate all rights that were 

 acquired by reason of such contest." 



Through a reorganization affected by H. P. Carlyon, 

 promoter of both companies, the Olympic Tide Land Com- 

 pany will be dissolved and merged into the Carlyon 

 Reclamation project. The land controlled by the latter 

 company is located near Olympia. It is reported that the 

 Carlyon Company will be in a position to proceed with 

 active work in the early spring. 



The Palouse Irrigation and Power Company, finding 

 that its old dam was inadequate, has replaced it with a 

 concrete dam which will supply sufficient water to irrigate 

 the 4,000 acres in this project. 



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.
