THE IRKIGATION AGE. 



1033 



"See the Rockies first; climb American rather than 

 European mountains," is the text of a beautifully illustrated 

 and exceptionally well written descriptive narrative, "The 

 Peaks of the Rockies," by Edwin L. Sabin, the well known 

 writer, just published by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad 

 Company. 



Few Americans realize that right here at home, and 

 within easy reach, the "outer" and "climber" can mount peaks 

 in the Rockies higher and grander and scenically more mag- 

 nificent than those of the Alps, and this book is issued for 

 the purpose of disseminating information on the subject. 



Appended to the story is printed a list of mountain ranges 

 and peaks, with the altitudes of the latter and the nearest 

 railroad stations 



The Tacoma Upland Irrigation Company, of Tacoma, 

 \\~ash., has filed articles of incorporation with the county 

 auditor. Capital stock is $250,000. 



The Biggs Irrigation Company, of Topeka, Kansas, 

 capitalized at $5,000, was granted a permit to do business 

 in Texas. Its Texas agent is to be W. W. Hubbard of 

 Pecos. 



The Rock Point Canal and Irrigation Company of 

 Vernal, Uintah county, Utah, recently filed articles of in- 

 corporation to engage in a general irrigation project. 

 Capital stock $2,400, divided into shares of $10.00 each. 



NEWS. 



F. H. Buhl, a multi-millionaire of 

 Sharon, Pa., has another scheme for 

 redeeming a large tract of land in 

 southern Idaho. This man, who has 

 irrigated more land than Uncle Sam 

 ever did, will bring in 600,000 acres 

 of sagebrush land at a cost of $25,- 

 000,000. This enterprise is the larg- 

 est ever contemplated on the face of 

 the globe and will be known as the 

 Brunneau project. 



The first step taken by Francisco I. 

 Madero toward the economical bet- 

 terment of Mexico was the sending 

 out of a long telegram to all of the 

 governors of the states, asking the.m 

 to co-operate in a plan of national ir- 

 rigation. The suggestion was made 

 that all prisoners held in jails 

 throughout the country should be or- 

 ganized into working companies for 

 the construction of dams and canals 

 so that a repetition of the crop short- 

 ages of the last few years may be 

 avoided. 



The last three years of exceedingly 

 dry weather has caused many of the 

 farmers of Lampasas, Texas, to in- 

 stall irrigating plants on their farms. 

 There are at least eight plants within 

 six miles of Lampasas and the acre- 

 age now under irrigation exceeds that 

 of any previous year. 



The third irrigating well, still fur- 

 ther adding to the fame of Garden 

 City, Kan., as a pumping center, has 

 been brought in. It is that of Doty 

 and Reeve, and is now flowing 4,100 

 gallons per minute.
