THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



Maxwell, will be affected. It is sit- 

 uated outside of the project and must 

 take its chances of an oversupply of 

 water." 



Two concrete automatic gates have 

 been installed by Water Company No. 

 3 in its irrigation system in the Im- 

 perial valley of California. 



Plans have been drawn for another 

 million-dollar reservoir project in the 

 mountains above Oakdale. to supply 

 water for the Utica Gold Mining Com- 

 pany and furnish irrigation flow for 

 the Oakdale irrigation district of Cali- 

 fornia. This is the second source of 

 storage offered to the Oakdale and 

 the south San Joaquin district. The 

 cost of the reservoir alone is esti- 

 mated at $1,100,000, which does not 

 include the power plant, nor the ca- 

 nals which must be constructed. 



Filings have been quietly made by 

 the power company and by the irri- 

 gation districts jointly, with the fed- 

 eral and state governments, and if the 

 irrigation districts vote to combine 

 with the Utica company in the under- 

 taking they will have title to all the 

 water for irrigation purposes. 



The proposed reservoir will cover 

 over 900 acres and will hold 62,836 acre 

 feet of water. The water is to be 

 taken from Highland creek, and it 

 will develop 2,700 horsepower. It will 

 require three years to complete the 

 undertaking. 



ket for many years what is declared to 

 be E. J. ("Lucky") Baldwin's choicest 

 tract of citrus land in California has 

 been subdivided and is being sold un- 

 der the name of Baldwin Heights in 

 parcels ranging from one acre upward 

 for groves and country homes. The 

 land adjoins the city of Covina and 

 consists of 1,400 acres of Baldwin's 

 famous La Puente ranch. Baldwin 

 , would not allow this property to be 

 sold during his life, as he is said to 

 have considered it the best of his 

 holdings. After his death the heirs 

 sold the property to the present own- 

 ers. The land is watered by a good 

 irrigation system. 



A iccord for installing an irriga- 

 tion pump was made recently. J. P. 

 Shelton of Burbank placed an order 

 with a Los Angeles concern for the 

 immediate delivery of a turbine cen- 

 trifugal pump and the same week the 

 pump was in running order, throwing 

 a fine stream of water. The pump was 

 manufactured by the Layne & Bow- 

 ler Corporation.
