BY r. L. WOODS,
Representing Glenn and Colusa
Counties

Glenn and Colusa counties have seen
fit to send a representative to San
Francisco to get in touch with the
lands in the interior of California A
great irrigation movement has in the
last few years been taking shape in
both of these counties of splendid
richness, and colonization on an almost
unparalleled scale for northern Caiifor-
MIA in Glenn and Colusa is about to
begin. 1t is wise that the resources
of the interior should be made known
by those who are personally familiar
with the facts.
Thousands of colonists have been
brought into. the state through the
efforts of the transportation COM
panies, and they are likely to become
citizens of California in large NUM-
bers. They need information from a
reliable source, and to impart this is
the purpose of the Glenn and Coiusa
people, and the sending of represen-
tative to this city is indicative of that.
DEVELOPING GREAT TRACT
The Kuhn brothers of Pittsburg, in
vestment bankers, who have purchased
the Central canal and all of its hold
ings, and have also secured options on
100000 or more acres of the rich grain
lands OF Glenn and Colusa. stimuli
taneously with the securing of these
options have bought and paid for many
thousands of acres of these lands and
are now actively engaged in develop
ing these properties.
Something more than 100 surveyors
and helpers fully 1000 laborers and
several hundred teams are now busy
extending the canal bitches laying out
roads and avenues and subdividing the
large tracts into smaller tracts of 10,
20 and 40 acres each. Something near
1900 10 acre tracts have been mapped
out and are about ready TO be offered
to home seekers and actual settlers.
1t is pleasing to contemplate in
advance what the completion of the
great canal and the settlement of the
lands under it will mean to Glenn and
Colusa counties, as the Central canal
and it's many laterals when completed
will extend through both of these
counties. covering a large portion of
each and bringing into irrigation about
200, 900 acres of fertile soil
WORK OF GOVERNMENT
In addition to the foregoing irri-
cation project there is still another
that is creating equally as much in
terest, although it may not for some
time cover as much territory. This is
the United States government irrigation
project, known as the Orland unit
project, so called because it is the first
of the series of contemplated units
comprising great Sacramento valley
project.
The Orland unit project will irrigate
ia, 900 acres at Orland, Glenn county. The
source of water supply is Stony creek,
the largest stream flowing into the
Sacramento valley from the west. At
this time the United States govern
ment is constructing a large concrete
storage dam at East park, on Stony
creek, which will impound a portion
| of the abundant flood waters of Stony
creek. The diverting dam on the same
stream is in actual construction, and
the contracts for the irrigation bitches
have been let to contractors with the
understanding that they are to be COM
| pleted by May / next. Consequently
many men and teams are busy con-
| structing the canal, bitches and lat
