MISCELLANEOUS RECLAMATION NOTES. 



The Beverly Land Company, of Beverly, Wash., has com- 

 pleted the installation of the irrigating system near that city. 

 Twelve miles of pipe conduct water to every part of the tract 

 and there is a hydrant on the high point of each 10-acre 

 piece. A reservoir on the hill holds 1,000,000 gallons. This 

 will be kept full .at all times to maintain the pressure on 

 the pipe system. 



Nearly 2,000 acres of land is involved in the present plan, 

 and as the project advances, other land adjacent will be 

 taken in for irrigation. A water right has been secured from 

 the government and a dam erected and ditches are now being 

 cunstructed to carry water over the various tracts of land. 



O. S. Brown, of Prosser, Wash., was the successful 

 bidder for the construction of the irrigation system to be 

 installed in that city. His bid was $31,795. The system will 

 supply every lot in the city with irrigation water, the city- 

 having purchased a water right from the government. 



Eastern capital is interested in the Horseshoe irrigation 

 project located near Glendo, Wyo. The Horseshoe Develop- 

 ment Company has been formed and application has been 

 made for the segregation of 22,000 acres in the district. 

 The irrigation system will embrace a number of reservoirs 

 and dams. Sidney E. Bartlett, of Cheyenne, is the engineer 

 for the project. 



The city of Pasco, Wash., has purchased a r>00-acre water 

 right from the Pasco Reclamation Company for the purpose 

 of irrigating city property. The reclamation company agrees 

 in the contract made with the city to furnish 24 inches of 

 water. At the end of five years a co-operative water users 

 association is to be formed. 



The large dam on the Belle Fourche, South Dakota, 

 irrigation system has been repaired, and, according to the 

 statements of the engineers, is now stronger than before the 

 damage inflicted this spring. 



Irrigation on a small scale is proving successful on the 

 Carl Stevenson ranch near Junction City, Kan. 



Hon. Thomas Lyons, of Silver City, N. M., is improving 

 an irrigation project which is owned by him, known as the 

 Duck Creek Irrigation project. The impounding dam near 

 the mouth of Duck creek is to be raised in height and this 

 will increase the area supplied with water to over 800 acres. 

 The storage reservoir is fed by the waters of Duck creek. 



The Secretary of the Interior has approved the modifica- 

 tion of a contract now in force between the United States 

 and the city of Nampa, Idaho, whereby the latter is permitted 

 to reduce the amount of water now being supplied by the 

 government from 420 inches to 220 miners inches. The 

 Reclamation Service is authorized to execute a new contract 

 for the season of 1913 with the authorities of Nampa. 



The Columbus Improvement Association of Columbus, 

 N. M., have undertaken a reclamation project, which, if 

 successfully carried out, will mean the reclamation of hun- 

 dreds of acres of desert land within the vicinity of Columbus.
