The Rural Road Grader For 

 Irrigation Work 



The blade of the Rural has the proper adjustment for making V Bottom Irrlcitioi 

 Ditches on a slope of one and one-half to one. Any elevation can be given the 

 blade that the banks will stand. Rear end of blade raises 24 inches. Changing 

 single-tree holes in the evener, which places the near horse in the ditch, is the 

 only change needed in the Riril to adapt it to V bottom ditch work. The wheels 

 being wide apart, which best holds a grader to its work, and lets one wheel travel 

 in the point of the ditch and the other completely outside of the bank of earth 

 thrown up, leaving the slope smooth and undisturbed. 



Making a V Bottom Irrigation Ditch Two Feet Deep on a Slope of One and One- 

 Half to One. Two or Four Horses are Used. According to Requirements. 



The linl Grader is not tipped to any extent, owing to the wheels being wide 

 apart and the axle having been made lower on the right hand side to equalize up 

 OD ditch work. In a grader with the wheels close together, one, and perhaps 

 both, of the wheels must travel on the slope of the ditch, destroying the bank and 

 tipping both machine and operator to a dangerous angle. Unequaled for cleaning 

 out all deposits of silt, grass, etc., from irrigation ditches, whether dry or under 

 water, anywhere teams can be made to travel. For the Irritation Firmer, the Kuril 

 Grader aid Ditchir is not equalled by any other machine if he wants one for business 

 and the greatest value for his money. Any Oil with considerable level land can 

 use one with much profit for opening up ditches through fields, which it will do, 

 even when the lands are under water. To make larger and more permanent 

 ditches and also to build and repair roads that the farmer is interested in.

SAMSON TURBINE 



When the PUMP cannot be direct connected to 

 the turbine shaft, the power is usually trans- 

 mitted by gears, shafting, etc. On account of 

 the HIGH SPEED of the SAMSON, for a given 

 power, lighter and consequently CHEAPER 

 transmission machinery can be used.

A Wonderful Opportunity 



I am interested in the ownership of a 40,000 acre 

 irrigation project in northeast Moffat County, 

 Colo., "The Coming Empire of the West." Land 

 under project will be taken up as homesteads or 

 desert claims. The Moffat roads extension to Salt 

 Lake City, which is now being built very near this 

 project, will settle this land very quickly. j 



We now have enough applications for water 

 rights from reliable settlers, now living under this 

 proposed project, to insure its success. 



It possesses such natural advantages that all 

 construction work can be done for $175,000 and 

 with water rights selling for $25 per acre this deal 

 will pay 500% profit. 



One of Colorado's foremost engineers says this 

 to be the best project of its kind in the Rocky 

 Mountain region. 



We want some good reliable parties to take hold 

 of this proposition and finance it, or, we will sell 

 our holdings outright.
