the price of the fuel is less than 10
cents a gallon. If the whole force
should be used, there would be only
eight gallons an hour, or less than 200
gallons day of "a hours. The fuel

IS acres 10 inches deep with water-or
less than 80 cents an acre. If used for
wheat, one sack to the acre will pay all
the expenses of putting 10 inches of
water on it just as it is wanted most.
This pumping plant, destined to
revolutionize agriculture in the Sacra
mento valley, was put in operation Fri
day, August 6.
Early in the morning party of Co
lusans drove to the ranch OF Mr.. Pack
er, which is on the river below Prince
ton, to see the great pump make trial
of its strength. The air was cool and
the drive most pleasant, though dusty.
Arriving, they found the engine placed
in a concrete oblong, square basin,
soping towards the cut in the levee
that leads to the river and the great
2S-inch iron pipe extending from a
22x22 foot reservoir down the concrete
basin, on through the cut In the levee
and river bank into the water. The
machinery was all clean and bright and
G. w. Tibbetts and Arthur Pope were
on hand to put it in motion. John E.
Doak of San Francisco, having the
work in charge, was there, and as the
engine started, the great belts moving

A GIANT PUMPING PLANT
Packers Great Irrigation En-
terprise a Success.
Hundreds of Acres of Wheat Land Along
the Sacramento River Sup
piled with Water.

Pumping plants have been so i'm
proved in the last few years as to lead
one to hope that in that direction lies
the solution of the irrigation question.
George +. Packer, although considered
one Of the most conservative men in
the county, has led off in .umber of
things. -,r.Ae years ago he checked off
some land s1d put in flume for win
ter irrigatlon and planted alfalfa. He
made q survey himself to determine the
practicability of taking the water out
of the river below Stony creek to water
the river lands, and wanted the cooper
alton of some of the farmers to build
the canal. lie opposed both the Colusa
and the Central districts because he did
not believe in that plan-and time has
shown that he was wiser in that than
many of us. He wanted to know who
was to manage.
Again he comes to the front. The
Hercules Gas Engine Works of San
Francisco has just completed, on his

home place, the largest gasoline pump
ing plant in existence, which will be
used for pumping water from the river
with which to irrigate several hundred
acres of land.
This plant consists of an 80-horse
power, horizontal single cylinder, Her
cules engine and a Krogh Manufacture
ing Com pany's 15-inch centrifugal
pump, guaranteed to raise 5000 gal
Ions of water per minute 81 feet high.
There is also a smaller pump OF 400 gal
Ions minute capacity driven by the
same engine. This is for tank purposes
The engine is arranged to use either
gasoline or distillate oil, and as the lat
ter is very cheap it will no doubt be
the fuel selected for use. The 2O-lnch
suction pipe, made of No. 10 steel,
passes through the levee, on an incline,
into the river, and at it's lower end is
a large foot valve weighing 1900
pounds.
A 20-inch discharge pipe carries the
water from the pump to head box %
feet square and feet high. For the
foundation of the machinery an eXcava-
ton was made and filled with concrete.
The first test made showed a much
larger pumping capacity than the con-
tract called for, the flow of water ex-
ceeding 1900 gallons minute or 49,
900 gallons an hour, or 10, 1868, 900 gal
Ions per day of "a hours enough water
to cover 384 acres an inch deep, or 3S
acres 10 inches deep every day of "a
hours.
A very important part is the exceed
ingly small cost of the fuel, it being
only one-eighth gallon per hour for
each horse power actually used, and

STUPID PREJUDICE.

We hear Of man whose club had introduced
ras-broilers in its kitchen against his protest,
and who called for the chef the first time a chop
was served him. What was the matter? Did
he ever see a chop more beautifully broiled?
No. but il smeled and tasted OF gas. Take It
away. Now, this was a delightful instance OF
stupid prejudice. This man had an idea that
an impure flame from coal fire would not give
n bad taste TO meat cooked it, while
purified gas fame would. AS matter Of fact.
in neither case will chop or steak absorb gas:
though everybody knows in what a singed and
Ctarcoal-coated condition chop will come from
a coal fire. But this silly objector at the club
was neatly caught. oh. certainly, his chop
should Ec broied over coal IL he preferred.
Then the head waiter wnked at the chef, and
the chef sent up another eXGuistey bro!led
chop. which the particular club-men.ber ac-
ocpted and ate with gusto. That was the way,
Broil it over Goals. and not particle of odor or
taste OF gas could be detected But 1t was
broiled by gas just the same. only he was not
told OF II, and in blissful ignorance.
Tasting Of gas. indeed! The best restaurants
and hotels would hardly be cooking by gas. as
they are, if that were the case.
