The Rio Mimbres Irrigation Com- 

 pany has forfeited its $25,000 bond be- 

 cause it has failed to build any of the 

 projected dams or reservoirs on lands 

 purchased from the state, and also 

 has lost its rights under contracts 

 entered into with the state. The 

 company sets up that subsequent in- 

 vestigations proved that there was not 

 sufficient flow of water to justify the 

 irrigation works, as planned, and will

appeal to the state supreme court. 

 During the hearing, in December, it 

 came out that the company had al- 

 ready expended $325,000 to develop a 

 water supply and that it now has 

 twenty-three wells, sufficient to re- 

 claim from 5,000 to 7,000 acres for 

 which it will get deed from the state 

 under the decree.

The canal from Richvale and Nel- 

 son Road to Butte Creek in Butte 

 county, northern California, has been 

 completed and will be ready for de- 

 livery of water at the opening of the 

 irrigation season. The canal is 50 

 feet wide on the bottom and 70 feet 

 at water line. 



The California State Water Prob- 

 lems Conference, created by the last 

 legislature has held several meetings 

 at the office of the state railroad com- 

 mission in San Francisco to discuss 

 with irrigation engineers and others 

 best way of proceeding to accomplish 

 the work for which they were ap- 

 pointed. 



The Water Users Association of 

 Glenn county has decided to take up 

 the selling of project land in accord- 

 ance with the plan recommended by 

 C. H. Blanchard of the United States 

 Reclamation Service, and which is al- 

 ready being handled so satisfactorily 

 to all concerned by the Elephant 

 Butte Water Users' Association in 

 New Mexico. The plan calls for the 

 appointment of an agent to handle 

 the lands of the project listed for 

 sale in much the same manner as 

 they are now handled by established 

 realty firms. Any stockholder in the 

 association can list his project lands 

 with this association, the selling of 

 which is to cost the usual commis- 

 sion, five per cent of the sale price. 

 The big point of the system right 

 is that every dollar paid as commis- 

 sion, above the operative cost of the 

 system, will be used to advertise the 

 Orland project throughout the United 

 States.
