both ways at intervals of forty feet. These laterals have vents with hose 

 attachments at intervals of forty-two feet, so that the entire area can be 

 sprinkled when necessary. The balance of the water plant consists of a 

 6,000 gallon galvanized tank elevated on an iron tower, which places the 

 bottom of the tank twenty-seven feet above the ground. The water is 

 elevated to this position by a gasoline engine which draws the water from 

 a well having a total depth of thirty-three feet. This well was made by 

 digging to the depth of ten feet and then driving a two-inch pipe the balance 

 of the distance. We obtained at this depth thirteen feet of water in the 

 pipe and have a supply, I believe, which will be sufficient for all purposes. 

 The ten-foot opening made before driving the pipe, we curbed up with 

 concrete reinforced with heavy wire so that we have a permanent opening 

 four and one-half by four and one-half feet and ten feet deep for the working 

 barrel of the pump. 



We have a neat office and storage room combined. This building is 

 sixteen by thirty-two feet and eight feet to the eaves. This is built over 

 the well so that the engine occupies one corner of the room. The balance 

 of the same end is occupied by a small office, seedroom, and dark room for 

 the development of photographs. 



These occupy about eight feet in one end of the building. The balance 

 of the building is used for storing frames, tools, etc., and also contains a 

 work bench.
