The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1913-01-30

A large body of fruit land in the
Moses Lake valley of Grant county
Washington, directly east Of We
natchee, has recently been opened tt
settlement, and is now attracting s
great deal of attention.
The development in Moses Lake val
ley is nothing short of marvellous
Within a few years this district il
to furnish homes to at least $4,000
people. Many sections of rich land
which have lain dormant for centuries
and which until just recently woit
considered practically worthless, be
cause of the lack of water for irriga
ton, have now been placed on IN,
market and are rapidly being settled
The discovery of an immense body
of sheet water, underlying the entire
district, is responsible for this de
velopment. This water is nothing
more nor less than an immense un
derground lake, which crops out il
various parts Of the county
Hundreds of pumping plants are be
ing installed, each irrigating from II
to 1000 acres, and once the water i.
turned onto the land it yields a pro
duction of fruits, alfalfa and garden
truck that is prolific. Water is OBJ
tanned at from 25 to 100 feet, in in
exhaustible quantities. It ism It ques
ton of where to drive well in order
to get water. 1t is merely question
of where the farmer or orchardist
wants his well. If he sinks there, he
is sure to the water.
Some of the orchards that have al
ready been developed in the Moses
Lake district are actually yielding
higher than $1,000 an acre net profit
per season, and it is predicted that
this district will soon hold the rec.
ord of being one of the greatest fruit
producers on the continent. The soil
is very similar to that of the North
Yakima and Wenatchee fruit districts
and a recent chemical analysis shows
it to be richer than the latter by
several per cent. 1t is composed of
decomposed lava and volcanic ash. IT
is deep and mellow, and underlaid with
a gravel formation that insures per-
feet drainage.
A visit to one orchard near Moses
lake was nothing short of revela-
ton. This orchard, which consists of
30 acres, 90 of which are in bearing,
is known as the Tichacek place. Dur
ing the 1912 season 10000 boxes of
fancy apples were harvested from this
90 acres, and they sold for $1.45 per
box net, the sale being made through
the Wenatchee Fruit Growers asso-
citation, the organization which has
successfully solved the problem of
finding a market for Northwestern
fruit at good prices. This association
is now handling much of the fruit

The Twin Falls Oakley Irrigation Project
md Homemade

To harness the waters OF Goose
croek in Cassia County, Idaho, and
.,.n them on to land now giving
the appearance of barren waste is
the purpose of the Twin Falls-Oakley
proiect, by means of which one OF
The most fertile valleys of the West
v;ll be made into blooming garden
and about $4,000 acres added to the
rapidly increasing area of reclaimed
land. This enterprise is but one of
MANY similar ones that are to be found
in the great basin country, and pre-
sapes the continued prosperity of an
already prosperous community. 1t is
a tribute to the confidence of its mas
ters in the science of reclamation and
in the future of southern Idaho. The
dam that will hold back the waters
Of Goose Creek entails an expenditure
Of q vast amount of money, for it is
being constructed with view to per
manency, no expense being spared to
make it so.
Before the Inauguration of the plan
20 furnish water to the entire valley,
rights on the creek were held by own
org of about 5000 acres. Goose Creek
is small mountain stream with
minimum capacity Of Is second feet
from July to January and a maximum
OF 500 second feet through the bal.
ance of the year. For many years the
5000 acres had been irrigated from the
uuregulated flow of this stream, some
years with perfect satisfaction but
ordinarily with an insufficient flow of
water when most needed. The farm
ers therefore flooded their crops when
water was plentiful early in the sea-
son and conserved the moisture thus
stored up by cultivation during the
dry months. Many difficulties at
tended this method of procedure, and
when the proposed regulation of water
supply was outlined owners of the
5000 acres agreed to surrender their
rights to the waters Of the creek in
return for q regulated supply of ~
acre feet, to be delivered to them
whenever needed. Thus the water that
had gone to serve 5000 acres insult.
fic:ently is to be distributed over 49,
900.
The land above that to be irrigated
has fall Of 25 feet per mile, sloping
to the level alluvial bottom. The
sides Of the valley are steep, converg-
ing at the dam site to width of 400
leet, with steep slopes on either side
reaching to height of 100 feet and
then rising vertically in a straight
wall of solid lava to a height Of 1855
feet above the river bed. Engineers
were quick to see the natural advan-
tage of this narrow neck, as well as
the abundance Of material available
TOR an earth dam. These and the won
derful productivity of the valley
seemed to justify the expenditure, and
the project was launched.
Tons Of earth and rock make up
the substance of the dam, which is
l45 feet high and 1850 feet long.
Through the center stretches a core
OF concrete, starting at bedrock with
width Of three feet and tapering to
thickness of one foot at the top.
The bottom is pure concrete, while
the top is reinforced. Bedrock was
found at depth of 20 feet below the
bottom Of the stream. The body of
the dam is a mixture of sand, clay
ana small rock, the rock being mostly

homes and spacious barns will dot the
landscape. The expanse of gray will
be replaced by the restful green of
the more humid cline, all of which
will testify to the happiness of new
people in a reclaimed land. Nothing
can stop the development of southern
Idaho as long as these projects find
favor. And the faith of the people
themselves will make the outcome
sure.
