 There Src 50 g,.sd many throughout this section of the opinion that the plan can not be made a financial success from the fact ths,t the expense of getting the water to the surface of the around al a cost that l,ii allow a profit How ever. there have been thousands Of acres of land taken up east ag the East vrn canal both bN the homestead and desert entry. The only manner that has Vet been conceived by the recla- nation officials or the owners of the land in which To irTisatc the land is by pumping water from the underground streams. Not only do these men who are actual land owners but the busi- hess men generally book upon the out come of the plan with interest There have been thousands of dollars spent oh this land in making improvements The success of the new settlers will in a measure effect the prosperity or the surrounding country.
 The Hemperly- Hawley pumping plant at the present time has q capa- city of fifty gallons per minute. The four-hOrse gasoli ne engine was kept at work Tor one day and the well which Is a ten-inch in diameter showed no signs of failing In fact, u is generally believed that the water supply l. ample. The pump cylinder is 5NS inches and the engine pulls the load without much effort IL has not been determined by the men behind the proposition just what acreage they win attempt to ir- rigate. The whole thing is in it's eN- perimental stage and as yet | is next C. impossible tu get line on the pro bable cost of irrigation per acre.
