~ Irrigation and the Sunnyside Canal ~


Much of the best land in the
arid west can only be re-
claimed by large canals and
to build these large aggrega-
tions of capital are required.
The government has stepped
in and is doing much in this
direction and much is yet to
follow. Before the govern
ment took up this work cor
porations had entered upon
this kind of work in certain
localities. 1t is not my pur-
pose to sketch these larger
systems of irrigation but to
describe to some extent one
of these as sample of what
has been done and is being
done outside of the enter
prises in irrigation carried on
by the government.
| know much about the
Sunnyside canal, for I have
owned and operated land un-
der it since the water was
turned into it in the spring
of 1892. I have interviewed
Mr.. e. F. Blaine, of Seattle,
who is one of the chief stock
holders of the Washington
Irrigation company, which
owns and controls this canal,
and am indebted to him for
much of the information I
give below.
To Walter N. Granger, of
Zillah, Washington, belongs
the honor of conceiving the
plan of putting in this canal.
He personally inspected the
country to be irrigated and
enlisted capitalists in the for
nation of the company that
constructed this canal. He
has been the general man.
ager of the company from the
beginning. He has put his
money and his talents into
this enterprise. There is not
another man in the state who
knows more about irrigation
than he does, and there are
few. if any. who know as
much. To him belongs the
honor of having brought about
the reclamation of one of the
fairest and most prolific spots
in the state of Washington.
Honor to whom honor is due!
Mr.. Granger's picture appears
on our front page.

intake is thirty feet wide on

At the present time irri-
cation is much in the public
mind and is receiving much
attention from the press OF
the country. Great schemes
for irrigation are being in
augurated and carried out,
both by the government and
by corporations. This indi-
Gates an immense develop
ment of the arid and semi
arid sections of the great
west. Feeling that some light
may be thrown on the sub
ject of irrigation by some
historical references and by
a brief description of a typi-
cal case in the work done by
the Sunnyside canal, this ar
ticle is prepared
1t is a mistake to conclude,
as many do, that irrigation
is a purely modern method
of soil reclamation. George
Rawlinson, in his "Seven
Great Monarchies of the
Ancient Eastern World" gives
an account of irrigation prac-
ticed by the Chaldeans be-
fore the days of Abraham,
more than four thousand
years ago. He describes one
canal whose waters were
taken from the Euphrates
and was three hundred miles
lcng. Such a canal would
put to blush many of our
modern schemes for irriga-
ton. There were irrigation
canals in Egypt before the
dawn of authentic history.
The prehistoric inha bitants of
Central America used irriga-
ton and in Southern CalifOr-
mia the Catholic priests prac-
ticed irrigation long before
the Mormons settled in Utah.
That the Mormons are in
great measure the pioneers
IN modern irrigation in the
ari1 sections of the United
States, is true, but they prac-
tlcad a borrowed art and did
Nc originate irrigation. For
ne 3rly fifty years since the
az 'ent of the MormOns into
u Salt Lake valley irriga-
u.on has been slowly spread
III in the valleys of the in
'ermountain states. Private
ahd individual enterprise has
ca Tried on most of this work.
Aiong small streams and on
Ia IDS near to the rivers are
ule only places where such
lgation can be carried on.
