THE IRKIGATION AGE 



159 



Colorado 



The San Luis Valley Irrigation 

 District Association was organized at 

 Alampsa, Colo., recently. The mem- 

 bership of the association is com- 

 posed of the directors of the six irri- 

 gation districts of the valley, and will 

 have for its object the general ad- 

 vancement of district affairs. 



All the districts of the valley were 

 represented at the meeting, Leonard 

 A. Hardie acting for the Terrace, A. 

 M. Weaver and Mr. Hughes for the 

 Trinchera, G. G. Rushton and J. N. 

 Coleman for the Moffat, Mr. Dunshee 

 for the Kirber Creek and A. Elmer 

 Headlee for the Mosca Irrigation dis- 

 tricts. G. M. Corlett of Monte Vista, 

 acted as representative for the San 

 Luis Valley Irrigation district. 



The officers of the Twin Lake Land 

 & Water Company and the two farm- 

 ers' organizations, the Twin Lakes 

 Reservoir and Canal Company, lo- 

 cated in the district around Ordway, 

 Colo., which have been maintained as 

 one, have separated. 



F. A. Townsend, who has been the 

 secretary for all three, will be the 

 secretary for the Twin Lakes Land 

 & Water Company, the original 

 holder of the water rights. This com- 

 pany owns several hundred acres of 

 land under this system. 



New Mexico 



J. W. Shank. Benjamin. Mo., will 

 install several pumping plants to ir- 

 rigate land near Alamogordo, N. M. 



Oregon 



The Empire Manufacturing Com- 

 pany, Spokane, Wash., and the Pen- 

 dleton Iron Works, Pendleton, Ore., 

 have been amalgamated under the 

 name of the Empire Manufacturing 

 Company, Pendleton, which has a 

 capital stock of $135,000. The iron 

 works will be shut down for a short 

 time, to make needed repairs, and an 

 addition will be made. Philip Laber 

 is president, and Charles L. Kik, vice- 

 president. A rotary pump for irriga- 

 tion purposes will be one of the prin- 

 cipal products of the plant. 



An irrigation and power dam, esti- 

 to cost $10,000, will be built by the 

 Neenah-Oregon Land Company, Rid- 

 dle, Ore. It plans to ultimately de- 

 velop power for the operation of pulp 

 mills which will be constructed. I. P. 

 Gardner is manager. 



One of the biggest deals of this 

 year in Oregon was concluded when 

 final papers were signed whereby W. 

 J. Furnish, of Portland, disposes of 

 the 5,000-acre Furnish irrigation 

 project at Stanfield, in Umatilla 

 county, and 5,500 acres of dry lands 

 in territory contiguous to the project. 

 The purchaser was J. O. Storey and 

 associate of Tacoma, who in part 

 trade, transferred about 8,000 acres 

 of timbered lands 25 miles from Ta- 

 coma, along the line of the Milwau- 

 kee railroad. The value set by Fur- 

 nish on the project and dry lands in- 

 volved was considerably in excess of 

 $500,000. 



Immediate development of 20,000 

 acres of irrigable land in Umatilla 

 County, Oregon, will be made pos- 

 sible through arrangements complet- 

 ed by the directors of the Teel Irri- 

 gation District, which controls land 

 on the Camas Creek and its tribu- 

 taries. The district lies between 

 Echo and Butter Creek, to the south 

 and west of Echo. 



Plans are going ahead for the re- 

 sumption of work on the Thief Valley 

 irrigation project, near Baker, Ore. 

 Not as much work will be done this 

 year as expected, because financial 

 conditions resulting from the war 

 have made it impossible for the 

 Evans-Almirall Company of New 

 York to carry out its plans for finan- 

 cing it in full. Construction work 

 will be started on the big dam, it is 

 announced. 



Utah 



Work on the St. George and Cot- 

 tonwood reservoir has begun and it 

 is hoped it will result in the storage 

 of water which will make possible the 

 reclamation of most of the unused 

 land in the St. George Valley of Utah. 



Several entries have recently been 

 made under the new Berry Springs 

 project just west of Hurricane, Utah. 

 The Dixie Irrigation Company has 

 been incorporated, and the canal has 

 been surveyed to cover upwards of 

 6,000 acres of land in that vicinity. 



Saves You Money the Year 'Round 



THAT sounds good, doesn't it? Well, that's just what 

 an AULTMAN-TAYLOR GAS TRACTOR will do 

 for you right on your own farm. It has done it for 

 thousands of other good, hustling farmers and it will do 

 it for you. It will save you money plowing and do a bet- 

 ter job than is possible with horses. It will save you 

 money harrowing, discing, harvesting, threshing, seeding, 



hauling, etc. In fact, it will save you money at every 

 power job, large or .small, on the farm, and the beauty of 

 it all that it is, costs you nothing when not working. 



Right now is the time to get rid of the greater part of four horses. Don't 

 let them eat their heads off. Dispose of these expensive animals now. The 

 proceeds of the sale of feed which you would otherwise have fed to these 

 animals will make a good substantial payment on an 



Ault man-Taylor Gas Trac 



(Built in 2 sizes 30-60; 25-50) 



and then you can farm better, 

 cheaper, and with more satisfaction. 

 You can get your seed bed ready 

 when the ground is in prime condi- 

 tion. You can sow when conditions 

 are just right, and you can gather 

 your crops when they should be 

 gathered. All this, and lots more 

 can be done quicker, cheaper and 



better than you can do it with horses. You'll be as- 

 tonished at what can be accomplished with this great 

 tractor. No other tractor can give you such wonderful 

 results such entire satisfaction, for the simple reason 

 that the Aultman- Taylor Gas Tractor is particularly 

 adapted to the power needs of the farm built for this 

 particular work at no spared pains or expense. It's the 

 tractor that makes good everywhere at all kinds of work. 

 The Aultman- Taylor burns either gasoline or kerosene 

 under all loads. Go see this great tractor work. There's 



one in your neighborhood. We want you to see this trac- 

 tor in operation. Seeing is believing. Its performance 

 will convince you that it's the best tractor ever built, or 

 if you cannot locate one in your immediate vicinity, write 

 for catalog and other literature at once, and get all the facts 

 about the Aultman-Taylor Gas Tractor.
