Graal possibilities
in Irrigation

The transformation wrought
by the touch of water through
the process Of irrigation in this
state, is amazing. Not many
years ago an irrigation project
was considered a venture,
highly speculative, and merely
for the purpose of experiment.
And yet in so short a time it has
developed marvellous results, and
has become the permanent means
of adding millions Of dollars
worth of agricultural products
annually to the already abundant
resources of this state, and Incl
dentally it has advanced our state
into the foremost ranks of the
agricultural states OF the Union.
While passing through the
staJe, many waving green fields
ard extensive orchards m t
ones vision on every hand-that
but a few short years since, were
barren plains and unproductive
valleys. Where lands formerly
produced nothing but the soap
weed and the sage bush, carloads
Ut fruit and millions of bushels
OF grain are now produced. BY
the touch of water, as if by
magic, these desolate tracts
have been converted into verti-
cal GASES.
Irrigation has demonstrated
that at least four times the yield
can be raised that is produced on
upirrigated land, and this with
out exhausting the fertility of
the soil. An irrigation project
n community, therefore, ad-
.yances the value of property, not
altogether in the irrigated zone,
but Immediately tributary as well
from three to five times its form
erValue.
Little do we realize the impor-
tance and magnitude of the pro-
ject that is soon TO spring up un-
der our very feet, wherein a tract
If land twelve miles long and
sin miles wide, embracing $4,000
acres of the most fertile soil in
the state will be converted into
literal garden. 11,000 acres Of
this land is now opened to set
tiers and is being taken at a rapid
rate. On the 21st of this month,
an additional 11,000 acres will
be put on the market to be Sc
leoted through drawing.
The time is now near at hand
and extensive preparations are
now under way, providing trans
portation and accommodation for
the vast number of homeseekers
and others desiring lands who
are expected to be present. I'M
mediately following the drawing
of claims, on the 21st, the formal
opening of the Two Buttes town
site viii take place.
Every indication points to the
building of thriving little town
within the next three months as
many business establishments are
already promised, and in some
instances the plans are drawn
and the contracts for building
now under consideration. Some
