ALARMS FOR |RR|-
CATION DITCH
HARRY SHOTWELL AND WILLIAM
MAC COMB HAVE RECEIVED
PATENT FOR NEW DEVICE FOR
IRRIGATION bitches.

Harry l. Shotwell and William
MacComb, of this valley, have just
received from the patent Office at
Washington, D. c., patent for an
alarm for irrigation bitches. This In
vention relates to an improvement
by automatic means for turning the
water out of irrigation bitches when
the ditch breaks. The invention
comprises the production of means
for sounding the alarm along various
points of the canal or irrigation ditch
and at the same time operating auto
matically means for turning the wa
ter out of the main ditch or canal
above the break and for moving
gate or door across the main ditch.
The invention further comprises a
float positiOned in the canal or ditch
and designed to operate catch for
lowering weight which nj turn act
ing through a suitable cable or wire
will disengage the securing means or
catch of the waste gate for permit
ting the water in the canal or ditch
to flow in a waste ditch.
The invention further comprises
means for drawing across the main
canal or ditch gate at the same
time that the gate to the waste ditch
is opened SO that the water is shut
o ffthe main ditch above a break
automatically at the same time that
the waste gate for accommodating
the water is operated.
An object in view is the produc-
ton of improved means that will not
only shut off the water when a break
occurs in a canal but will also auto
matically sound an alarm in prox-
unity to the break or at any number
of distant stations that may be de-
sired
The inventors worked for several
years on their device and they expect
to profit largely thereby. Applica-
tions for patent will also be made in
Mexico and Canada.
