T II K IRRIGATION AGE. 



The Modern Wagon 



BUILT OF STEEL 



The only equipment that will stand the climate of the 

 irrigated district, is made of steel. You know the reason. 

 Wood dries out, becomes useless, and the machinery 

 falls apart. 



Davenport Roller - Bearing 



Steel Wagons 



are THE wagons for the "Dry Farming" country. Not 

 affected by the climate. Stronger, lighter draft and more 

 durable; outlast several wooden wagons. 



Built of steel I-beams, Channels and Angles, solidly 

 riveted with large steel rivets, put in hot, making the gear 

 parts practically one piece. 



Nothing to Dry Out 



No bolts to become loose and nuts to rattle off on 

 account of parts shrinkingor drying out. The DAVEN- 

 PORT is constructed like the modern steel railroad 

 bridge. Trussed and braced to withstand all strains. Built 

 for the heaviest lifetime service. 



No Tires to Reset 



It makes no difference what the climate is, it does not 

 affect the wheels on the DAVENPORT. They are made 

 with a tension, each spoke carrying its share of the load 

 all the time, whether it is on the top, bottom or side of the 

 wheel. The spoke heads are countersunk in the tire; 

 headed and shouldered in the hubs. The strongest wheels 

 ever put on a wagon. No split felloes or cracked hubs. 

 No repair bills to pay. 



Roller Bearings 



The Holler Bearing 



30% to 50% Lighter Draft 



It it a fact, that if it were not for the ROLLER BEARINGS, 

 the automobile of today would be impossible. You know that 

 ROLLER BEARINGS reduce the draft on machinery of all kind.

Davenport Wagon Company, 



(Continued from Page 24.) 



subsequently assigned its interests to the Columbia South- 

 ern Irrigation Company. This company was finally placed 

 in the hands of a receiver and since that time the Oregon, 

 Washington and Idaho Finance Company has obtained an 

 option on the company's holdings. 



One of the most interesting irrigation projects under- 

 taken under the new Oregon law governing such enter- 

 prises will be voted on by residents of Yonna, Langell and 

 Lost River Valley on November 21. The proposed district 

 has been defined and official steps taken and approved by 

 Judge Worden and other members of the County Court, 

 to hold the election on November 21. It is expected to 

 issue bonds to cover the cost of establishing an irrigation 

 supply and owners of 20,000 acres which it is hoped to 

 benefit are expected to vote favorably. 



The Rapid Valley Irrigation & Development Company 

 has secured a permit from the state engineer of South 

 Dakota to appropriate 65 second feet from Rapid and Dry 

 Creeks. The project embraces the irrigation for the pres- 

 ent of 4,500, with an ultimate capacity of 10,000 acres. It 

 is proposed to construct a large reservoir in Rapid Creek 

 Valley below Rapid City to catch the flood waters which 

 at present escape. 



Plats for an irrigation system on the Cimarron River 

 in Oklahoma have been filed in Oklahoma City by J. B. 

 Traxler, E. C. Bell and Dr. Burnett of Lamar, Colorado. 



About 4,000 acres of land lying adjacent to Tucson, 

 Arizona, is to be irrigated by water taken from wells 

 which will be sunk. This property is known as the Hart 

 Ranch and was formerly owned by J. K. Brown of Tucson, 

 who sold it to eastern capitalists who will put it tunder 

 irrigation. Pumps will be put at the wells for raising 

 water and they will be operated from a central power 

 plant. 



UTAH. 



An irrigation project embracing more than 250,000 or 

 more of arid land in Salt Lake, Utah, Rooele and Weber 

 counties, has been launched and will be known as the Utah 

 Conservation Company. The project comprehends the 

 conservation of the flood waters of the Weber and Provo 

 rivers. It is estimated that the project will involve an 

 expenditure of from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. The stock- 

 holders will be made up of prominent Salt Lake City men. 



W. S. Rust and J. M. Lauritzen of St. George propose 

 to construct an irrigation project about forty miles from 

 St. George. The project is situated on the Utah-Arizona 

 boundary line. The reservoir will be in Arizona and the 

 lands in Utah. It is proposed to store the flood waters of 

 Short creek, Cottonwood and Cane Bed canyons in the 

 basin now occupied by the Short Creek Lake. Short 

 Creek will be turned into the lake basin and a dam 15 feet 

 high will be constructed about midway between the lake 

 and the Short Creek Gap, by means of which 5,000 acre 

 feet of water will be impounded. 



The Farmers' Irrigation Company of Alexander, Wa- 

 satch county, have filed articles of incorporation with the 

 secretary of state. The capital stock is $40,000 in shares of 

 $5.00 each. 



The Reclamation Service is rushing work on the 

 Strawberry Valley Irrigation Project. A dam will be built 

 which will divert the water of Strawberry River, which 

 now empties into the Gulf of Mexico, into the basin of 

 Great Salt Lake to irrigate 60,000 acres of land. 



WASHINGTON. 



A meeting of representative land owners living on the 

 west side of the Okanogan River and Osoyoos Lake was 

 held recently and an irrigation district formed. The plan 

 is to put in a high line ditch, taking water from the Simil- 

 kameen River. By placing the intake ten miles up the 

 river all the higher bench lands, at present almost worth 

 less, can be put under water.
