This old fellow was suspected of

day a young deacon walked past his
house leading a new horse.

various branches to various parts of the
lands, will be about 100 miles in length.
At Esperanza it will connect with the
main Hartman line.
The need for immense capital to carry
on such vast enterprises with railroads,
irrigation plants and towns, was what
induced the Richardson's to seek the
cooperation of men of such big means.
A toWneite has been laid out for the
new town of Yaqui which will be estab-
lished at once. The company's railroad
will run right through this settlement.
IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
The company's main irrigation canal
is twenty-six miles long and twenty
metres or seventy feet wide at the head
and fifty feet at its narrowest point.
Besides there are fifteen miles OF later
ais, six metres or over twenty feet wide.
government concession gives the per-
petual right to 1870 cubic feet of water
per second from the Yaqui River. 1t is
claimed that this enterprise exceeds in
extent any irrigation project IN the
American continent the Roosevelt dam
only providing, it is said, for 100000
acres.
The canals will also be used as aven-
ues of transportation. AT present three
motor boats are in use moving supplies
and men.
Four traction engines, $50 teams and
scrapers and 200 men are building the
irrigation works and road. Engineers
are surveying at many points. Close to
400 men in all are at work.
BEGINNING OF MOVEMENT.
The big colonization movement began
I with the obtaining OF the concession Tor
railroad up the Yaqui Valley by the
Richardson brothers, for years citizens
of Los Angeles, who perceived the open
ings once peace was restored with the
Indians and public attention was
directed hither. The Southern Pacific
was considering the invasion OF the
coast and was obliged to buy the Rich
ardson concession and bind itself tC
build at once, which it did. Meanwhile
the Richardson's had tied up hundreds OF
thousands of acres under options which
were exercised as soon as the trans
portation facilities were assured. This
was in 1904. The lands of the old Solors
and Sinaloa Irrigation Company were
bought, and the work OF surveying
plating and building the roads anC
canals started until, step by step, the
present ambitious enterprise was un
folded
With justice the Richardson's claim

coast that is attracting such grea
attention and of which Mr.. Hartman
has just spoken in such strong terms a
to win the attention of the world.
