THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



27 



Three hundred thousand acres of land in the Horse 

 Heaven country in Klickitat, Yakima and Benton counties 

 will be reclaimed by a $10,000,000 irrigation project. The 

 Klickitat Irrigation & Power Company, who will reclaim 

 this immense area, have already started construction work 

 near Goldendale. The undertaking is financed by English 

 and Canadian capital. The main canal, lined with con- 

 crete, will be twenty-five feet in width at the top, thirteen 

 feet at the bottom, twelve feet in depth and 122 miles in 

 length. The project includes five miles of tunnels, large 

 storage reservoirs, dams and weirs. Five years will be re- 

 quired to complete the work. The land to be irrigated is 

 owned by ranchers, who will pay $60.00 an acre for the 

 water rights in fifteen annual installments, the first being 

 payable one year after water has been available for farm- 

 ing. 



It is reported that the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget 

 Sound Railroad Company has purchased the holdings of 

 the Hanford Irrigation & Power Company, comprising 

 200,000 acres of irrigable land in the upper Columbia Val 

 ley. This land will be irrigated and promoted by the 

 Milwaukee road. There are at present 5,000 acres of land 

 under irrigation in the vicinity of White Bluffs and Han- 

 ford which is watered by the original Hanford Canal. A 

 high line canal will be constructed by the Milwaukee road 

 which will add at least 100,000 acres to the land now irn 

 gated. 



The Shower Irrigation Company, with general offices 

 at Walla Walla, has filed articles of incorporation. The 

 company proposes to irrigate land in a new manner, that 

 of throwing water in tiny streams from pipes laid along 

 the ground. The capital stock of the company is $25,000 

 divided into 250 shares.

 formed and will be incorporated in the near future, with a 

 capital stock of $2,500,000, and will develop two power 

 sites in Carbon county, Wyoming, and reclaim 200.000 

 acres of land in the Encampment and Saratoga districts. 

 It has not been definitely decided as yet where the mair 

 offices of the company will be located. 



Kansas City capitalists have taken over a large area of 

 land in Pecos, Brewster and Jeff Davis counties, Texas, 

 and will at once begin the construction of a dam, by 

 means of which 23,000 acres of land may be converted int.> 

 a lake for irrigation purposes.
