Douglas County Farmer will try New
Method of Getting Water

If the Experiment Proves Successful
Other Farmers will Install Like
Pumping Plants

PAUL HAYNES is engaged in put.
ting in q pumping plant for Thomas
Huff, to irrigate 25 acres of his ranch
across the Columbia river from We
natchee.
The plant consists of two scows an
chored in the river side-by side, with
series of paddle wheels between them,
which are turned by the rapid current.
The Wheeles are eight feet in diam
eter with eight foot paddles and devel-
ope about six h. p. each. They are
arranged in tandem and are connected
bv means of a sprocket wheel and
chain device. The power is transmit
ted to a powerful pump which IS capa-
bic of raising water to height of 100
feet above the river The original cost
of irrigating will not exceed $50 per
acre while the cost of maintainance
is practically nothing
y great deal of intersest is being
taken in the construction OF the plan
by land owners along the Columbia
and Wenatchee rivers, aud if it proves
successful number of the plants will
be installed. Among those who are
investigating the work are : Chas.
