a few miles southeast of the city at
Old Wilson, in township 5 south,

evidently one of the first planted. 1t
is live feet in diameter and has three
limbs protruding from the trunk that
cover a radius of forty feet. On ac-

ing in the vicinity OF Manzanilo,
Mexico, July "a, 1914, between the
opposing forces known as the consti-
iullonalists or rebels and the govern
ment forces as the rebels.
The water supply at Manzanillo,
Mexico, is obtained from a we'll locat-
ed at small station along the rail
road Just beyond the lagoon, which is
about two miles outside the city OF.
Manzanillo and is called Campos sta
tion. The terminals Of this line OF
railroad leading from this city are
Colima, the capital of the state OF Co
lima. and Guadalaiara. While travel
ing from Manzanillo to Campos, on
your left is the Cuyatlan lagoon and
to the right from Manzanillo Is the
sun baked beach of the Pacific; the
railroad running along through a sand
spit until it reaches Cuyatlan, where
it turns inland.
TO obtain a water supply the fed
eral army, numbering about 1900 men
under the command of General Joa-
Iquin Tellez, advanced from Manzan-
lilo at an early hour on the morning
of July "A and attacked the rebels
Iwho were occupying Campos and had
control of the water supply The eX-
act strength of the rebel forces is not
known. 1t is estimated that the ap-
proXimatp number was about 1000,
under the command of General Juan

GREAT $4O,OOO,OOO IRRIGATION PROJECT
INTAKE AND DAM NEAR LFAVENWORTH
Water Half Million Acres of Fertile Lands on Quincy Flats
Will be Eight Years in Building

ample time to take care of their
obligation.
But one water supply source is
available and that will be appropri-
ated if the voters approve the pro
ject. 1t is planned to improve the
headwaters of the Wenatchee river
in Lake Wenatchee, twenty miles
from this city, to bring these waters
in ditch and flume to the Colum-
bia river, there discharge them in
to a huge inverted syphon that will
conduct them beneath the bed of
the Columbia, under pressure suffi-
Gent to lift them up through the
eastern breaks of the river to the
extensive plateau or valley sur
rounding Quincy in Grant county.
1t is estimated that it will require
ten years to complete the project.
Probably the greatest expenditure
of money and the largest portion of
the work, at least that part which
will require the longest time will
be done within twenty miles of
Leavenworth. It will be necessary
to build a dam at the lower end of
Lake Wenatchee which will raise
it's waters 1870 feet and make 1t at
least 80 miles in length, The size
of the dam and the enormity of this
particular piece of the work can
best be conceived by taking into
consideration the present size of the
lake which Is less than two miles
wide and only six miles in length.
When completed the boundaries of
the lake would be less than Is
miles of this city and three miles
from the Great Northern railway
line at Winton. The canal line
would pass within less than six
miles of Leavenworth. 1t would
take from six to eight years
wind UP the work in this vicinity
during which time thousands of
men would be employed and when
one thinks of the dollars that would
pour into Leavenworth, 1t does not
take an imaginative mind to pic
ture what the results would be.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-09-11

bond issue, but will be based upon
district improvement bonds.
The purchaser of the state securi-
ties would look to the land and the
water rights and these properties
only for his protection and security,
and not to the state at large.
Eminent engineers have pro-
nounced the project feasible both
from a financial and engineering
standpoint, and while the cost has
sometimes been mentioned as high
as forty million dollars, the true
charge will be about one-half of
that amount.
After the taxpayer has given the
Quincy Valley Irrigatio nproject his
careful consideration surely he can
arrive at only one conclusion and
that is that 1t would be a great
and lasting benefit to the state and
would not cost him one cent.
Too many people unfamiliar with
the proposed irrigation plan are
under the impression that they
would be taxed to help pay for the
project. But this is a mistake. The
act which is to come before the peo-
pie for their approval or rejection
has been very carefully drawn to
safeguard the state and the lands
themselves will be the security for
the bonds and the taxpayers of
Washington will not be taxed one
cent for this work. On the other
hand the increase in valuation of
the Quincy lands to $100,000,000
or more will help in decreasing the
taxes besides making homes for
some 10000 people This develop
ment would also make it possible to
produce much of the thirty millions
of dollars worth of food products
we are today shipping into the state
from other states, thus making the
cost of living cheaper.
This is what confronts the voters
at the next election. It is not a
local issue, but state issue and
should be looked upon favorably by
everyone who believes that the ma
tural resources of the state should
be developed.
