country. The organization was not completed but the 

 preliminaries were accomplished. The meeting adjourned 

 to meet in Walla Walla, Wash., February 28. 



The result of the meeting at Walla Walla is not 

 known to us at this writing. If this is organized along 

 the line of the union of citrus fruit growers on the Pacific 

 Coast, it will result in good for all interested. 



Mr. James T. Donahoo, who expects to bring about 

 irrigation by water from the underflow of the Arkansas 

 river, has recently been talking to the people of Hutchin- 

 son, Kan., about his plan. 



Mr. Donahoo is a former citizen of Sidney, Neb., and 

 Hutchinson papers state that he is the originator and 

 patentee of a system of underflow irrigation which will 

 materially change things. 



This is the first time that we have known of any 

 patent appliance being issued to lift water from the 

 underflow other than by pumping. 



Mr. Donahoo's plan is to put down a row of pipes 

 about 40 feet deep and only a few inches apart. These 

 are to be cut off and connect with lateral tilings. The 

 underflow entering the pipes through the perforations will 

 seek its level and run up into the tile which will carry it 

 into a ditch without any pumping being required. 



Mr. Donahoo states that he can lift every foot of 

 water in the underflow to the surface by artesian force, 

 which will give a perpetual supply and the only cost is 

 the first cost of installation. It is said that the gentleman 

 is putting down test holes near Garden City for pur- 

 poses of demonstration. 



<I I will carefully investigate and report on water 

 power, irrigation and land projects in Colorado. 

 Twenty-five years' experience.
