The Daniel Hayes Company of 

 Idaho, a land selling corporation, 

 have opened a branch office in Dixon, 

 111., and will make that city its head- 

 quarters for the handling of its busi- 

 ness in Northern Illinois. A number 

 of Dixon people are financially inter- 

 ested in the concern which has been 

 doing business in Rock Island, 111., for 

 over forty years. At present the 

 company has a big project in Idaho, 

 where they are going to put 40,000 

 acres of land under irrigation. 



Excavations have been commenced 

 on the diversion dam several miles 

 below Cimarron to place the waters 

 under the Eagle's nest project on the 

 adjoining lands. The entire project 

 is being constructed as rapidly us 

 possible, and it is generally believed 

 that the project will be completed not 

 later than next fall.

 authorized the Reclamation Service 

 to execute contract with the El Paso 

 Foundry & Machine Company, El

 ering needle valves for the Roosevelt

 structing its big irrigation enterprise 

 in the valley of the Yaqui river, in 

 the southern part of the state of 

 Sonora. This project involves the 

 reclamation of about eight hundred 

 thousand acres of land. The water

The pamphlet "Irrigation Laws" is 

 now off the press and ready for gratu-

 prepared, taken in the code enacted 

 by the 1915 legislature with all amend- 

 ments to existing laws and the cross 

 references carried by it makes it the

 this subject that has yet been issued.
