system of canals and laterals directly
from the Jocko River. Almost no
reservoirs are needed for this division
and the work has so far progressed that
several thousand acres are now under
the ditch. Water was turned into the
canals and laterals in 1910 and was
distributed to as many of the Indians
as desired it, The result is apparent
from the uxuriant growth to be found
where water has been applied. Several
thousand acres in the Mission valley
were also brought under the ditch dur
ing the same year. Since 1910 addi-
tional acreage has been added each
year.
In the Mission valley 10000 acres
will eventually be supplied with water,
which will be assembled from all the
streams in the vicinity. A series of
reservoirs and IA connecting feeder
canal will store up the supply, which
pumping plant will be developed at
Newell dam and will be conveyed into
the several divisions by higl-power
lines. Fifteen thousand acres will be
irrigated from the Little Bitter Root

are to be found everywhere, adding

to retreat farther back.

In singing the praises of irrigation
one must not lose sight of the fact that
oftentimes the greatest returns from
piece of irrigated land result from
feeding the entire farm product and
taking it off in the form of dairy
products and meat. This commands
particular attention at present in view
of the high price of beef and the ac-
knowledged scarcity of it in the en-
tire country. Western irrigation has
demonstrated it's effectiveness and is
still in its infancy. 1t remains for
farmers and fruit growers to find how
the best returns may be realized from
it's application. Professor Thomas
Shaw. a prominent railroad agriculture
list, emphasized the value of dalrylng
and stock raising on irrigated lands in
recent address before the Oregon
Irrigation Congress. While his remarks
are applied to Oregon in particular,
they cover the subject in its applica-
ton to every irrigated district in the
West, for the general principle prevails
that where water is brought on to land
its best returns may be realized from
an intensive application of the profit
arising therefrom. Professor Shaw
says in part:
Tn no line of production can irri-
cation render a better return than in
furnishing food that will be turned into
milk and other dairy products, meat
and wool. For the growing of these
products the door of development
stands open. In no line of agricultural
production is the chance to make good
money better or even as good.
"The reasons for the stability of the
livestock business in the future are
many. The increase in the number of
consumers for meat and dairy products
| is proceeding at much faster rate
than the animals which produce these
products. The same line of reasoning
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1913-02-06

may be applied to wool and poultry and
the products of poultry. The statis-
ties published by the United States De-
partmcnt of Agriculture make this
claim absolutely certain.
con the irrigated lands the oppor-
tunties for growing swine are superla-
lively good This is more especially
true when the swine are grown in
connection with dairying. 1t follows
from the abundance of food that can
be grown which is exactly adapted to
the needs of the swine. No pasture
has ever been produced that will meet
their needs in better form than alfalfa
or that will produce so much food per
acre, and where can alfalfa be grown
better than on the irrigated lands of
Oregon? 1t follows from the further
facts that the grain that produces the
pork of the highest quality, such as
barley and field peas, may be grown in
the first form on these lands. The eli
mate also favors such production. It's
equable and mild character favors the
production of two litters per year from
the same dam should this be desired.
In areas with cold winters it is scarce
ly practicable to grow profitably two
filters in one season.
"Pork thus grown should not cost
the producer more than three cents per
pound. 1t cannot be grown more
cheaply in the best sections of the
corn belt, nor can the corn belt pro-
duce bacon of equal quality with Ore
gon. The conditions for growing pork
of the highest quality on the irrigated
lands of Oregon are at least as good
as they are in Denmark. and Oregon
has great lead in the natural rich
ness of the soil and in the equable char
acter of the climate. Why should not
Oregon soon become an exporter of
high class bacon?

River and Sullivan Creek, and in the
southwest part of the reservation the
flow of Camas and Cottonwood creeks
will supply 5000 acres.
The soil of the Flathead reservation
is clay, forest loan and gravelly loan,
and responds quickly to the application
of water. The rainfall in this district
is often ample for the production of
most forms of vegetation, and the de-
mands on canals and reservoirs will be
inconsiderabe in those seasons. Where
irrigation has been applied, however,
the results have surpassed even the
hopes of the most sanguine. The val
leys have been coming to the front
steadily during the past few years in
the variety and quality of their agri-
cultural products Complete and in
tensive development is only awaiting
the completion of the system of canals
that will distribute water over the 1872
900 acres.

The story of the inroads of settle
ment into the Flathead Indian reserva-
ton in Western Montana forms one of
the most interesting, if one of the
saddest, chapters in the conquest of
the West. Sad because it marks the
gradual crowding out of peaccable
tribe of native Americans from the
homes their fathers have claimed for
generations, and the consequent thrust
ing upon them of civilization they
did not invite yet welcomed. For
years the Flathead, or Selfish Indians,
shared the Bitter Root valley with the
white men, even going so far as to
protect them against the attacks of
outside tribes. 1t was they who sent
four expeditions to st. Louis to induce
the miss iOnaries to come and tell them
of the white mans medicine after Ig
mace La Mousse had come ut the head
of a band of Iroquois with the mvs
FERROUS faith. Three of these eXpedi-
tions We're never heard of again

R.H. Williams, president of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Rail
way, has just received in his Seattle
office several samples of apples and
grapes grown on twenty-acre orchard
in the new Moses Lake district east
of Wenatchee. The owner secured TO-
900 boxes of apples alone from his
ranch during the season just past.
The Milwaukee road has completed a
branch line into the Moses Lake dis
trict, which is now in operation into
the town of Neppel, and several prof
ects are under way for the reclama'
ton of large areas of land. Recent de-
veopments in this new fruit-growing
section have resulted in considerable
activity on the part of the railroads,
who recognize the district as future
feeder of considerable Importance. The
Great Northern Railway has surveyed
a cutoff from its main line which
passes through the center of this re-
gion.
Reports of the large crops raised by
those who have already settled in the
Moses Lake country have aroused much
interest here, and large number of
Seattle people have become financially
interested in the district. One firm is
just now placing on the market four en-
tire sections of these lands, which are
irrigated by means of pumping plants.
The entire district is underlaid with
sheet water, and in fact it was the re.
cent discovery of this water which
caused the great activity in the dis
trict. Now settlers are going in by the

"People in other districts have no
conception Of what they are doing in
the Moses Lake district. Canadians
from across the border seem to be ap-
preciating the district more than those
of us who live nearer to it. Between
Is and 90 sections of Moses Lake or
chard land have been sold to Cana
dams in the last few months.
"First thing we know we folks in
Wenatchee and other parts of the
Northwest are going to wake up to the
fact that we must pay about twice as
much for acreage around Moses Lake
as it is selling for today. There is a
great opportunity in this country"
