THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



Preliminary surveys are being 

 made for property owners of the foot- 

 hill district east of Lindsay, Cal., to 

 secure estimates on the cost of the 

 control of flood water in the Sierras 

 for the irrigation of the rich Yokohl 

 valley, which includes upward of 15,- 

 000 acres of the very finest citrus 

 lands. It has been figured that all ex- 

 penses of surveys and preliminary es- 

 timates will cost the property owners 

 about $1 per acre, and an association 

 to raise this fund is now in process of 

 formation. 



The California Farm & Irrigation 

 Company has incorporated, with cap- 

 ital stock of $500,000. Directors, J. 

 E. Luby, P. Zucco, M. J. Terranova, 

 A. R. Kapaga, W. Adnay; principal 

 place of business, San Francisco. 



The Hallwood Irrigation Company 

 of California has voted to increase its 

 capital stock to $50,000. The source 

 of the water supply of the company 

 is at Daguerre Point, on the Yuba 

 river. 



Establishing a precedent in irriga- 

 tion matters, Judge Wallace at 

 Dinuba, Cal., handed down an opin- 

 ion in the case of J. Nahl vs. the Alta 

 Irrigation District, in which the court 

 declared that irrigation companies 

 could not be held responsible for 

 damage to propery when an irrigation 

 ditch breaks banks during times of 

 high water and floods the surround- 

 ing country. Nahl brought suit for 

 $22,000 damage. He alleged that this 

 amount of injury was done to his 

 vineyard as a result of a flood during 

 high water two years ago. 



New Mexico 



R. W. Mitchell, Tularosa, N. M., 

 will install a pumping plant in con- 

 nection with a proposed system of ir- 

 rigation. 



Canada 



Farmers of the district north and 

 east of Lethbridge, Alta., and east of 

 Macleod have organized a campaign 

 to induce the government to under- 

 take an irrigation project. A petition 

 was prepared in which the farmers 

 agree to meet the cost of construction 

 by bonding their land to pay the cap- 

 ital cost of installing the system, with 

 interest at 4 per cent, extending the 



time of repayment of the construction 

 cost over a period of forty years. 



Kansas 



Daniel Dyer of Smith Center, B. P. 



Walker of Osbprne and George Ward 

 of Sharon Springs will be the mem- 

 bers of the Kansas irrigation board 

 for the next two years. All are Re- 

 publicans.
