has visited the county and con-
siderable water came down
Butte Creek and into the reser-
voir. The Company has u tract
of 20 acres under thorough cul-
tivation and il rigation which is
called Experimental for the ben
eft of any doubling Thomas.
This is sown to alfalfa, wheat,
barley, oats and other small
grain. Then there are beets,
cantaloups, water melons, pota-
toes etc, all growing to perfer-
tion. The men who have stood
pat behind the guns never doubt
ing the ultimate success of the
great enterprise are beginning
to see the fruition of their efforts
Take trip to Two Buttes and
