IRRIGATION WITH PUMPS

I'll. A. Tabor and John Hecker
have installed pumping plant
west of the Monte Vista cemetery
for irrigation of land above the
canal. A 2O-horse power Inter-
national gasoline engine furnishes
the power for centrifugal pump.
Water is taken from the Monte
Vista canal and is conveyed
through l2-inch pipe 500 feet to
an elevation of 30 feet above the
canal. From this point water is
distributed by laterals sufficient to
irrigate 100 acres of land. The
pump throws 500 gallons per min
ute and requires quite a large
ditch to carry it, much larger
than one would think. 1t takes
two good men to distribute the
flow. This plant will irrigate
from Is to 20 acres per day, accord
ing to the character of the land.
The engine is also used for plow.
ing and will draw four 14-inch
plows at "a depth of s to 10 inches.
The amount of gasoline used is
small, Only one man is needed to
handle the machine when in use.
The writer saw the pump ut
work last Friday and was surprised
to see what "A large amount of water
it conveyed from the big canal to
the point of distribution. Messrs.
Tabor and Hecker are satisfied the
plant will irrigate a quarter sec

1000 acres of this mesa land tax
en- under the desert act, and next
season they expect to add more
pumping plants.
If this experiment proves sue
cessful and economical there are
thousands of acres of uplands in
the foot hills of the valley that can
be successfully irrigated by pump

handle these gasoline engines and
claim they have passed the expert
mental stage and are immensely
practical. They are more efficient,
economical and convenient than
steam. They are operated without
smoke, steam, sparks or SCOT. and
without the expense of men and
teams to haul coal and water
There is no danger from freezing
in cold weather and no danger of
boiler explosions through lack of
care nor is there any loss of time
in getting up steam.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS

MA llONAL lkkl0AllON CONGKESS
1nstigated largely and originally
by Secretary Arthur Hooker of
the Eighteenth National Irriga-
ton congress, the San Luis valley
is contemplating the formation of
a centralized commercial body in
the near future, as well as special
committees to aid the Eighteenth
National Irrigation Congress.
Meetings will be held at all the
important points in the valley,
and it is probable special commit
tees will be appointed by all the
local clubs to take up the matter
of a valley conference at an early
date. These meetings at the
various local points will be adj
dressed by Mr.. Hooker, and also
by r. H. Faxon, secretary of the
board of control of the Irrigation
congress, who has been interested
in the federation in the Arkansas
valley.
Mr.. Hooker has been in work
calling for organization practically
all his life. The work appeals to
him, He has specialized on it.
He resided practically all his life
in the Pacitic-Northwest, where
there has been the closest central
ization of commercial bodies. For
instance, Mr.. Hooker points out
that Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Portland, Seattle and Spokane have
an organization that has done pow
erful Coast work.
There is sucn a great oppor-
tunity confronting every section of
Colorado this year" said Mr.. Hook
er, land this is such an age of CEN
tralization, that l should regret to
see any of these splendid sections
of the state failing to embrace the
chance before them. The Eigh-
teenth National Irrigation con-
gress furnished great chance for
the Colorado counties and COM
munities to get together. to make
capital, to attract to themselves the
interest and advantage of outside
capital and men. and to show up
what has been done in irrigation
and agriculture. 1t is mutual af.
fair, this relationship between oul
Irrigation congress organization
and the several valleys, sections
and communities. If they will
help us make the congress sue
cessful, we shall help them in en-
ploitation, publicity. dissemination
of information of useful facts"
Mr.. Hooker and Mr.. Faxon will
visit Monte Vista. Center, Alamosa,
Del Norte, Antonito, and other
places. Monte Vista has already
appointed n special committee to
consider the relationship with the
Eighteenth National Irrigation
congress, consisting of X. q. Breck.

FARMERS FIGHT FOR

Austin. Tex, April 2U.-If the argu-

Smuggler- Judge Maxey
Grants Request.

A year and a day in federal prison is
preferable to 10 months in the FL Paso
county Jail, according to Charlie John

The statement has been causing con-
siderable comment about the street s
this morning.
Johnson asked that he be sentenced
TO serve one year and one day in the
federal prison at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, instead of 10 months in the coun-
ty Jail here. This was done ufon the
request of the prisoner. who told judge
Maxey that he could not stand the con-
finement in the county jail and request
ed that his sentence be Increased that
he might go to the penitentiary, where
he will have more freedom.
AS it is necessary TO make the SEN
tence longer than one year before 4

prison, Johnson's sentence after convic-
ton in federal court on a charge OF
opium smuggling, was fixed at one year
and one day.

reproachfully:

The young man made no reply.
With an impatient gesture he passed
on into the fat and flung himself
down in chair in the dining room.
From the adjoining kitchen came a
welcome odor of cooking.

devilish hungry

his wife from the kitchen. There's
