 uary's blizzards and July's 

 boiling sun, Peerless Fenc-

The secretary of the interior has 

 announced that the annual operation 

 and maintenance charges for the irri- 

 gation season of 1917, and thereafter 

 until further notice, against all lands 

 of the Umatilla irrigation project, 

 Oregon, under public notice, shall be 

 as follows: For lands of the west ex- 

 tension, a minimum charge of $1.50 

 per irrigable acre, and for all other 

 lands a mimimum charge of $1.40 per 

 irrigable acre, whether water is used 

 thereon or not, which minimum 

 charge in each case will entitle the 

 water user to four acre-feet of water 

 per irrigable acre. Additional sup- 

 plies will be furnished for 15 cents per 

 acre-foot. 



One of the things upon which Gov- 

 ernor Neville laid deepest stress in his 

 campaign was the necessity of making 

 adequate provision for carying on the 

 litigation necessary to establish the 

 rights of Nebraska irrigationists to 

 the waters that flow into the western 

 part of the state as against those of 

 later water claimants in states higher 

 up these streams. 



This is a question of mighty import 

 to that large and growing section of 

 the state of Nebraska in which irri- 

 gation has built up a rich empire. It 

 is a question involving millions an- 

 nually of profit to the state on the 

 one hand or disaster and ruin on the 

 other: so says Governor Neville. 



RANCH FOR SALE 



Come see my 10 inch sell flowing fresh water well on 448 acre 

 farm (200 acres cultivated) on railroad side track, handy for shipping, 

 and propose irrigating vegetables in summer and fall after first crop 

 gathered and when we get best prices and good demand. 



It is a good general farm and live stock growing proposition, too. 

 Can also grow tons of fish by making dam. 



Big money in this. I prefer selling as I am financially bent. 

 Don't fail to come see. Fine climate and health.

Mogul and Kerosene 



OT even the ,big commotion across the sea has caused so 

 much worry and discussion in this country as has that 

 popular topic, "The High Price o'f Gasoline." Everybody is af- 

 fected by this irritating little matter. 



It hits you personally, in that it adds to the expense of your 

 business if you have been running a gasoline engine for irrigation, 

 other pumping, or for any other sort of work. Yet you can't 

 afford this cut in your profits. You need an antidote. 



Then orvn a Mogul engine. Moguls are creating steady low- 

 cost power for thousands of owners because they work on kero- 

 sene, the economy fuel. 



Mogul engines are satisfactory in every way. Investigate 

 these advantages: Enclosed crank case, Side shaft, Built-in 

 magneto, Automatic force feed oiler, Removable valves, Fly-bal! 

 throttling governor, and so forth, and so on. Drop us a line for 

 catalogues. Moguls are made in all styles, sizes 1 to 50 H. P. 

 and they work on kerosene !
