WASHINGTON. 



W. T. Clarke of \Yenatchee, who recently refused 

 an offer for his irrigation and land holdings in the 

 \Yenatchee Yallev. has made a deal wherebv all of his 



associates retire and turn over to him personally all 

 their properties east of the Columbia river. They take 

 all the mortgages and Clark assumes the obligation of 

 making $50,000 worth of improvements in the Wen- 

 atchee canal system. The money will be spent in lin- 

 ing tunnels and building new flumes and a new bridge 

 across the Wenatchee river to convey two pipe lines. 

 This structure removes for all time the shortage of 

 water from which the valley has suffered the past two 

 seasons. An additional $100,000 will be spent on the 

 system within two years. 



F. M. Welles, of New York City, at one time 

 physician in charge of Blackwell's Island, has pur-

The Modern Electric and Water Company is en- 

 gaged in the manufacture of several thousand feet of 

 cement pipe, to be used in the spring in the extension

To forestall the necessity of being compelled to 

 have their land watered from a proposed irrigation 

 district in the valley of the White Bluffs country, con- 

 tracts are being let by several owners of land in the 

 proposed district for the digging of wells on their 

 ranches. A number of private irrigation plants will be 

 installed by individual owners and a considerable acre- 

 age planted to alfalfa and fruit. 



The Icicle Canal Company of Wenatchee, has 

 sold its holdings to a new company composed of 

 George and C. H. Black, both of Seattle, and L. W. 

 Horton and Walter M. Olive, both of Wenatchee. 



Cut Down Your Reclamation Costs 

 With a BUCKEYE OPEN DITCHER 



f This illustration shows the Buckeye 

 Open Ditcher in actual operation in the 

 Everglades of Florida, where it has already 

 reclaimed vast tracts of waste land at a 

 great saving in cost over hand labor. 



f The Buckeye has enabled contractors 

 and land owners to cut their reclamation 

 costs down to the minimum because it 

 does the work better, faster and cheaper 

 than the obsolete hand labor method. 



fll It is a machine that is built to handle 

 the most difficult kind of reclamation 

 and irrigation work. It is equipped with 

 broad apron tractions that carry it over 

 the softest and soggiest kind of ground. 



f The Buckeye is made in a number of 

 sizes, cutting ditches from Z'/i to 12 feet 

 at the top. It digs every ditch uniform 

 size and perfect to grade.
