The electric power will be supplied oy
steam turbines and alternators.
In Montana the Huntley project
contemplates the reclamation OF 81, ooO
acres of land located on the Yellow
stone in the southeastern part OF the
the state. This scheme is about two
thirds completed. There are three
tunnels aggregating 2650 feet IN
length. A special feature is the pump
ing plant, near Ballantine, which utll-
ICES the power developed by drop OF
80 feet in the main canal to %
cubic feet per second ofwater about 5O
feet to the high line canal. The main
canal is about % miles long and the
high canal about I miles long. The
ultimate development of the Sun
river project in this same state will
mean the recovery of 256, 900 acres OF
land tributary to the river. The milk
river project will add about $50, 600
| acres more to the lands reclaimed in
| Montana.
Among the other large irrigation
schemes in the west are the North Platte
project in Nebraska and Wyoming,
which will mean the watering OF nearly
4O0, 600 acres in these two states. The
Truekee. Carson project will supply
water to $50, 600 arid acres in western
/ Nevada. The Rio Grande project IN
New Mexico and Texas involves the
construction of storage dam 255 feet
high near Engle, N. Mex, across the
Rio Grande, which will form reser.
yofr l75 feet deep and 40 miles long,
with a storage capacity of 1000, OGt
acre-feet for the irrigation OF 160, o0l
4 acres of land. Three electrical pump
ing projects are contemplated in west
ern North Dakota for the purpose O
raising water from the Missouri rlVel
to irrigate bench land which canno
/ be reached by gravity systems TIT

Oregon will reclaim 10000 acres
The Belle ourche project in Soutl
Dakota will reclaim about 100, oo'
acres lying in the Black Hills region
The Strawberry Valley scheme il
Utah provides for the irrigation G
about 60, 900 acres of land in centra
Utah. IT,. snoshone project in Wye

portion of the waters of the Shoshon
and the construction of dam at tn

reclaim about $50, 900 acres.
1t is needless to say that the success
of these many mammoth irrigat1o
! schemes depend upon electricity
! Electric power is employed in the COZ

Electric Flashes.

A Chicago inventor has patented an
electric device for rocking cradle.
The speed of submarine telegraphy
is illustrated by the fact that five min
utes are usually sufficient to cover
complete buying and selling operation
between the London stock exchange
and Wall street. The distance be-
tween these two points is about 4O00
miles and it takes the message less
than minute for the journey.
Chill is thinking of substituting
electricity for steam on number OF
Important railroads. An American
engineer is figuring on the project.
There are 815 miles of electric rail-
way in Canada, with capitalization
of s75, 1876, 476. In 1907 the gross earn
ings were s12, 635, 905 and the oper ating
expenses 81, 7s7 ,252.
Portland, Maine is to be supplied
with electricity obtained from the tides.
Land has been secured on either side
of Black Bay and it is estimated that
%, 000electrical horse power will be gen.
Grated, enough to light the entire city =
furnish power for the street railways
and supply a number of manufacture
ing plants.
One of the geninses employed by
the General Electric Company has in
vented device which will put an end
to the nefarions work of the incandes-
Ecent light bulb thief. It is the custom,
in larger cities, to steal the new light
bulbs from the hotels and public
places and resell or exchange them for
drinks ID the cheap saloons. The
new device consists of a socket and a
key. After the new lamp has been
screwed in the socket it cannot be un-
screwed without the key. The bulb
will turn around but will not come out.
An English electrician gets the
credit for deYising a way to ripen
bananas by electricity. The fruit is
hung in an alright glass case in which
there are a number of electric lights.
The artificial light and heat hastened
the ripening process IN proportion u
the number OF lights turned on.
In the up.to-date butcher shop tht
old hand meat saw is never seen. L
: it's stead a small band saw driven b.
an electric motor sewers the bones il
the leg of mutton, the rib roast o.
even the old-fashioned phone.
One of the most valuable possession
in this world today is a stream Of wa
! ter capable of development into cleo
trieal power. Streams which will pro
!. duce a steady and permanent suppl.
of electric horsepower to any amoua
are better than a gold mine.
Abandoned sawmill sites, where tn
timber has vanished and put the mil
out of business, are being oyerhaule'
: and turned into small electric plants b.
