THE IKRIGATION AGE.

This decision will entitle shippers to obtain 

 reparation with interest at 6 per cent for the three 

 years affected. It is estimated that several million 

 dollars can be collected from the railroads by ship- 

 pers through competent assistance. 



The roads will shortly issue new rates from the 

 five different zones as described in the decision of 

 the commission of July 22, 1911, and the differences 

 between these rates and those previously in effect 

 must be paid by the railroads on presentation in 

 proper form of the shippers' claims. 



Most shippers, however, will not be in a posi- 

 tion to file their own claims and will find it more 

 economical and surer to delegate some one well 

 versed in all the phases of this particular traffic 

 problem to recover for them on a commission basis. 

 Shippers are familiar, no doubt, with the numerous 

 freight audit bureaus doing work of a similar na- 

 ture, but probably remember as well the exorbitant 

 rates of commission charged usually for this kind 

 of work. 



Therefore it will pay interested persons to 

 be careful in selecting the bureau through which 

 their claims are to be placed. This paper, after a 

 careful investigation, recommends to all its readers 

 and friends affected by the decision, the services 

 of the Shippers' Claim Department, Chicago, which 

 offers to handle all claims in connection with the 

 decision to a conclusion before the commission or 

 otherwise for the small charge of 25 per cent of the 

 actual money recovered. 



It is important that paid freight bills for the 

 past three years be submitted for collection at once, 

 in order to secure prompt payment of the claims im- 

 mediately after the publication of the new tariff 

 upon which they depend. Shippers will understand 

 that no charge will be made by the Shippers' Claim 

 Department for services unless claims are recovered 

 from the transportation companies.

 212, Boyce Building, Chicago. 



IRRIGATION NOTES 



(Continued from page 344.) 

 trict proposes to issue $400,000 in 

 bonds, to finance the construction of 

 laterals and other improvements to 

 water additional land. As the result 

 of the irrigation development in this 

 district, two schools closed since the 

 decline of the wheat industry, will 

 be reopened this fall. 



A large dam for irrigation purposes 

 is to be built across Oak creek, near 

 Mojave, Cal., by W. W. Kaye and 

 James Arp, who plan to found an 

 agricultural settlement there. The 

 dam will be 92 feet high and 1,096 

 feet in length. 



After futile efforts to bring about 

 a settlement of differences between 

 the land owners of the Tulare basin 

 and those of the San Joaquin delta, 

 the California Reclamation Board has 

 filed a suit against Laguna Lands, 

 Limited. L. A. Nares, Lemoore Canal 

 and Irrigation company and others. 



The purpose of the action is to 

 abate an alleged public nuisance by 

 causing a restoration of water, which, 

 it is alleged, has been diverted from 

 the Kings river. It is set forth in 

 the complaint that dams and obstruc- 

 tions have been built to divert the 

 waters to the San Joaquin, and that 

 prior to August 10. 1913, a waterway 

 known as Zalda canal was built to 

 carry waters of the Kings river to 

 the San Joaquin. 



It is alleged that the diversion of 

 the waters will cause a marked rais- 

 ing of the flood plane in the San 

 Joaquin during the freshet season and 

 that thousands of acres of reclaimed 

 lands will be endangered. 



The 70,000,000 gallon reservoir of 

 the Happy Valley Land and Water 

 company of California, has been com- 

 pleted. This is the largest reservoir 

 in Shasta county; it is for storage

engine shall I buy?" 

 if this question troubles you, a 



little careful observation and investigation 

 will show that the International Harvester 

 engines are the most satisfactory. No doubt is left 

 in your mind when the advantages of features like 

 the following are clear to you: Extra large intake 

 and exhaust valves, proper distribution of weight, 

 cylinder and piston construction, careful workman- 

 ship, prompt repair service, etc. 



Ask the men who have used I H C engines. That 

 is the best test. They will tell you of the excellence of 

 I H C construction, simplicity, strength and durability. 



Study the engines yourself at the nearest dealer's 

 where International Harvester engines are sold. They 

 are made in all styles, and range in all sizes from 1 to 

 50-H. P. They operate on low and high grade fuels. 



Write for our interesting and instructive catalogues, 

 and when we send them we will tell you where the 

 engines may be seen. A postal will do.
