New Water Raising Device.

( ]. R. Stanwood, a brick layer
tof Nampa, is the inventor of a
new device for raising water
from canals and streams for the
purpose of irrigating high lands.
His machine is something entirely
new. 1t is simple scheme and
all who have seen it admit the
practicability of the plan. He has
recently completed a test machine
in nearby canal and has had
photographs taken of it while in
operation. The elevator is to be
operated by any power and the cur
rent OF the stream ay be utilized
for that purpose. The plan of the
machine is an upright frame, and
the sample. one is six feet high
by two and one-half feet wide. |
Up each side of the frame is row
of buckets and from the bottom of |
each is a pipe extending on an
angle which empties into a bucket
on the opposite side and from that
one a similar pipe leads to another
bucket, and SO on one pipe carries
the water from one bucket to
another as the frame is oscillated
from one side to the other, being
swung on shaft in the center to
a frame on posts. The bottom
bucket dips from the stream and it
in turn is emptied from one bucket
% another as the frame swings back
md forth until it is raised to the
op pipe that pours it out as the
rame swings.
