ly populated they resemble the STU.
burbs of cities.
Several hundred private projects are
in operation in the Spokane district
The most important of these is IN
Chelan county, Wash, which has the
Wenatchee, Chelan and Entiat valleys.
There are also important works in the
Spokane valley, where 10000 acres of
land is adapted to irrigation. The
Spokane river, nearby lakes and an
underground stream, flowing through
the valley, are used by these plants,
one of which raises the water by
means of electric pumps from wells,
ranging from 81 to 40 feet. The ca
pacity of this apparatus is sufficient
to water 5000 acres of land. There
are also large plants along the Co.
lumbia river in Eastern Oregon and
in the Kettle Falls, Bitter Root, Snake
river and Clearwater valleys.
Scores of gravity, siphon and pump
ing plants are in successful operation
throughout the district The extent
of operations on irrigated lands in the
Northwest will be better understood
when it is known that the value of the
apple and other fruit crops in the Spo-
kane country alone amounted to $780,
100000 last year. 1t should be treble
that sum in four or five years, by
which time several million trees set
out in the last three years will come
into bearing and others planted prior
to 1905 will have reached maturity.
