CUDAHY RANCH WILL
SOON LAY PIPE LINE
TO IRRlGATE SECOND BIG
TRACT
Contract for Work Represents $4,000
Circular System Will Be One
Of the Best in That
Section

Work of laying the irrigation system
on the new 500-acre tract on the Cud-
ahy ranch will soon begin. The con-
tract for between eight and ten miles
of pipe was let last week for $1,000
and the manufacturers are now busy
getting the material out. This VIII
range in size from big stuff OF twelve
and fourteen inches in diameter for
the mains to siX-inch pipe for the lat
erai lines.
This irrigation system on the Cud-
ahy ranch will be one of the best laid
in the section. At a great additional
cost Manager James r. Fl. Wagner
recently decided TO make it a circulat-
ing one and thus insure pure fresh
water for all uses. The system on the
first 500-acre tract was laid with
dead ends" at the terminus of each
line Of pipe, but this has been changed
and made into continuous circulating
system from the pumping plant The
same plan will be followed in the
larger system now being installed.
Work on wells has been progressing
satisfactorily and the third one is now
about ready to cut in, These three
wells will furnish a water supply of
considerable volume, amply sufficient
to irrigate the section now being pre-
pared for settlement.
The Western Gas Engine company,
which awarded the contract for the
$50 horse power gas engine for the
new pumping plant, is rushing work
on the construction of the big machine,
which will be ready by the middle of
December, and will then be installed,
together with compressed air pump
ing plant at the site OF the three wells.

Chicago, May 27.-One man was
perhaps fatally injured, two others
were seriously hurt and many fam
lilies were driven to the street by a
FIRE which early today destroyed the
100000 plant of the Standard sash
and Door company, at 1913 Center

names as Victor Altman and Joseph
Brown were arrested near the scene
on suspicion Of having set fire to the
building.
The fire started with a terrific eX-
plOsion in the basement and the
flames spread so rapidly that a gen
eral alarm was sent in. Immense piles
of lumber which surrounded the build
ing were soon envelOped in flames,
which threatened to spread 10 a num-

explosions of less force than the one
which started the fire occurred ar fire.
