Water Company Plans Gigantic
Irrigation System in Two
Counties

WILLOWS, Aug. 2-The Sacramento
Valley irrigation company. known over
the state as the Pittsburg syndicate,
which recently acquired the property
of the Great Central canal company,
and which has established headquarters
in this city, is now at work in earnest
in this section.
The talk that all that the new COM
pany would do would not amount to
much has vanished It has been seen
by the people of this section that it
means business and that it intends to
bring thousands of people to settle on
the lands of this county and, where
possible. TO put water on all the lands
of this and Colusa counties.
But few weeks ago il purchased
over 900 acres of the Glenn grant, a
number of smaller farms, and now it
is about 10 take over the Fred Quint
ranch, which contains 5000 acres. This
last tract is situated about six miles
east of Willows. Although no pur-
chase has been made the company has
an option upon it. Out of this tract
Of 5000 acres Fred Quint, the present
owner. Will retain I,S00 acres and all
his dwellings, barns. shops, ware
houses. etc. This particular portion is
acres.
At present there are about 20 men,
or seven surveying crews, at work on
the Glenn grant, subdividing the land
in 10 acre tracts. Although every piece
of land will be cut up in tracts of
10 acres twill be disposed of in lots
as high as 40 acres. AS soon as the
surveyors have completed the work of
subdividing. which will take several
weeks, the entire $4,000 acres will be
put upon the market and thousands of
people will be brought from all over
the United States and Europe to set
tie in this county. Every foot of the
ground will be irrigated from the huge
central canal.
1t is rumored that instead of taking
the water from the river at a new in
take in Tehama county a number of
new pumps will be installed to supply
the additional amount of water neces-
sary to irrfgate the additional land

Consider Victory of the Pierce
Arrow a Splendid Showing
for an Automobile
Rules This Year Do Not Allow
of Anything But Perfect Con-
ditiOn at the Finish
, By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

Nothing in the way of an automo-
bile contest since the motor car made
its first appearance in this country has
attracted the attention of the expert as
MUCH as the GHdden tour just finished.
When this classic touring event was
first started it was more on the order
OF an outing to attract the public at
tention to the motor car. but as time
went on il became a battle between
manufact cturers for supremacy.
In keeping with the dignity that the
event had acquired the rules became
more strenuous each year until this
season they reached an order that did
not allow Of cars gaining a perfect
score by merely making controls on
time. 1t is well known that in some of
the previous events several cars gained
the coveted perfect score when almost
down and out. After the contest they
had to be shipped to the factory to un-
dergO q thorough overhauling.A
II is the knowledge that such condi-
tions have existed that caused the off,
GERS OF the American automobile asso-
citation this year to make the rules so
strenuous that to gain a perfect score at
the finish. the car had not only to be
perfect in its running time, but should
also be ia perfect condition when the
tour was completed This is empha-
sized by the report OF the technical
committee which examined the cars at
the close of the tour in Kansas City.
OF all the cars that had competed
only two. both Pierce-Arrows, We're
able to emerge from the examination
with q clean score, a record which,
when the course Travelled is considered,
speaks volumes for the winners On
no other run of this distance could
more varied conditions Of road be

value. Of the victory of the Pierce-Ar-
