THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



WAR HALTS BIG DAM IN SPAIN 



Work on the great power dam at Barcelona, 

 Spain, where about 100 Texans were employed, was 

 entirely suspended on September 1, owing to a 

 lack of funds. The project was backed by an Eng- 

 lish syndicate, the intention being to build dams 

 at several other places in the peninsular kingdom in 

 addition to the one at Barcelona, concessions hav- 

 ing already been obtained. The total cost of the 

 work would have run up to many millions of dol- 

 lars. 



Inability to secure funds, owing to the Euro- 

 pean war, is given as a reason for the cessation of 

 work. The officials stated that no definite informa- 

 tion could be given as to the time when operations 

 would be resumed. 



The backers of the Spanish enterprises are said 

 to be the same people that were behind the build- 



ing of the dam across the Medina River near Cas- 

 troville, Texas. That corporation was known as 

 the Medina Valley Irrigation Company, for which 

 there have been two receivers appointed, one by 

 the United States court and one by the state court.

IRRIGATION NOTES 



(Continued from Page 373) 



Utah 



The Keeler Automatic Headgate 

 Company, Provo, Utah, has been in- 

 corporated with a capital stock of 

 $10,000 by J. B. Keeler and others to 

 manufacture patented hydraulic ap- 

 paratus. Joseph B. Keeler is presi- 

 dent and R. J. Murdock is secretary. 



The Uinta Land & Water Company 

 has filed application with the Utah 

 state engineer for 75 second feet of 

 water from Dry Fork, Ashley river, 

 Uinta county, for irrigation. 



A party of Reclamation Service offi- 

 cials has completed a trip along the 

 Weber river in Utah for the purpose 

 of investigating conditions and com- 

 puting costs of 'one of the biggest ir- 

 rigation projects in the country. About 

 300 miles were covered and a thor- 

 ough examination made of the Weber 

 river system, opportunities for build- 

 ing reservoirs and the means of di- 

 verting the waters into Provo river, 

 through which it is proposed to con- 

 vey it to Utah valley, where canals 

 will be built to carry the water to 

 lands in Utah, Salt Lake and Toole 

 counties for irrigating large areas of 

 fertile land, now without water. The 

 proposed project will cost about $10,- 

 000,000. 



A large number of farmers having 

 land under the Hammond canal near 

 Brigham City, Utah, are preparing to 

 organize. The farmers feel that if 

 they have an incorporated organiza- 

 tion they will then be iri a position 

 to work to each others' interests and 

 cooperate more successfully with the 

 Hammond canal people in the matter 

 of getting water for their lands. 



Washington 



The Horse Heaven Land Owners' 

 Association, representing the control 

 of 300,000 acres of unirrigated land in 

 Klickitat county, Wash., is making an 

 active effort to secure serious consid- 

 eration by the government of the 

 Klickitat Irrigation & Power Com- 

 pany's project for irrigation of these 

 lands.
