BUFFALO STEAM PUMP CO. 



Buffalo, N. Y. 



Agents Wanted for our complete line of 

 pumps for every purpose 



The Icicle Canal Company has completed about 

 forty miles of irrigation system, extending from 

 Icicle creek to Monitor, and affording water for 

 6,000 acres of choice orchard land in the heart of 

 Wenatchee valley. About four miles of canal remain 

 to be completed and work on the extension will be 

 begun early in the spring. 



The work being done by the Reclamation Serv- 

 ice at Lake Kachees, is practically completed. The 

 level of the lake will be raised 30 feet to impound 

 storage water for the high line and other irrigation 

 projects in the lower valley. The big dam at the 

 foot of the lake is practically finished. 



The Cascade Lumber Company and other credi- 

 tors of the Union Gap Irrigation Company of Xorth 

 Yakima, have asked for a receiver for that concern. 

 The Union Gap Irrigation Company, which built 

 one of the first of the big ditches in Yakima county 

 was incorporated for $4,000. It began work in 1904, 

 and in two years completed 31 miles of canal at 

 a cost of $50,000. 



The North Coast Irrigation Company of Seattle, 

 will reclaim a large acreag-e near Ritzville, in which 

 town they have recently opened an office. Water 

 for irrigation purposes will be pumped from Cow 

 creek. 



At a recent meeting at Ellensburg, it was prac- 

 tically decided to form a $600,000 irrigation district, 

 to embrace 17,000 acres of land under the Cascade 

 ditch. The plans contemplate extensive improve- 

 ments of the present system such as a tunnel 

 through the hill to replace the wooden flume. Prac- 

 tically all the landholders under the Cascade ditch 

 are stockholders in the canal and said to be willing 

 to form a district, which would mean the placing of 

 collections of water money fees in the hands of 

 county commissioners. 



An engineering project which will provide for 

 the irrigation of 50,000 acres of land in northeastern 

 Washington, and save another large area from an- 

 nual devastating floods, has been undertaken by the 

 Arcadia Orchards Company of Spokane. The un- 

 dertaking involves the expenditure of $500,000 in 

 construction work and will open the way for an ad- 

 ditional expenditure of approximately $2,000,000 in 

 the development and irrigation of raw timber land, 

 making it the largest private reclamation undertak- 

 ing in the history of the state of Washington. The 

 project now in hand is to lead the excess waters 

 from the Kalispel river and other Pend Oreille 

 county streams through the Kalispel mountains by 

 means of an 18-mile flume and a mile tunnel to Deer 

 Lake and Loon Lake, and thence to the land in the 

 Arcadia district. Preliminary work has been under 

 way for two years and the ground has been com- 

 pletely covered by engineers, according to officials 

 of the orchard company. Water rights have been 

 obtained on the waters of Kalispel river and other 

 streams in that locality, and the work will go for- 

 ward with all possible speed. It is expected that 

 the project will be completed within three years.
