which is installed a series of three

White informed lis that while they
were only using three and half
horse power, the two wheels had a
capacity Of sixteen horse power on
on a five mile current. The water
from the pumps was conveyed to
the irrigating canal through a
pipe line. The island is thorough
ly irrigated by this system and is
one of the best cultivated farms in
the country. 1t contains one Of
the larges strawberry gardens in
the valley, and that it is productive
is proven by the fact that from it
this year were marketed SI65o

Strawberries the island is planted
to large variety of other berries
and large fruit. The proprietors
have spent considerable time and
money putting the property in
