 braced in the Belle Fourche irrigation project, South 

 Dakota, the Secretary of the Interior has decided that an 

 additional section of the North Canal must be con.-tructed 

 in 1911. The work proposed involves the excavation of 

 approximately 770,000 cubic yards of material, mostly earth, 

 at an estimated cost of $160,000. The extension of the 

 canal is to be twenty-two miles. Bids will be received at 

 the offices of the United States Reclamatoin Service at 

 Belle Fourche, South Dakota, until 3 o'clock p. m., Febru- 

 ary 24, 1911, and full particulars may be obtained by ad- 

 dressing the officers of the service at Belle Fourche, South 

 Dakota; Denver, Colo., or Washington, D. C.

DRILLED WELLS FOR IRRIGATION 



Make Every Well a Flowing Well 



Flowing wells are not found in every locality, btTt they 

 can be made to flow to their full capacity. 



Every farm and every ranch should and can have their 

 own water supply; a good well adds thousands of dollars to 

 the value of a property. 



The first item of expense is the only expense; a good 

 well is inexhaustible and lasts for all time.
