New Centrifugal Pump

A new centrifugal rotary pump
which is supposed to furnish as
much water as the ordinary pump
with considerably less horsepower
was installed the first of the week
in the we'll on the White Bluffs In
vestment compapy's alfalfa tract
south of town, where a demonstra-
tion of it's efficiency was made be-
fore several interested spectators.
The pump is owned and sold by the
Helliesen Lumber company of
North Yakima. Willis Thorpe has
the agency for Benton county and
he has sub-let the White Bluffs ter
ritory to F. P. Rollins. The two
inch pump sells for $40 and the
three-inch at 500. The former is
supposed to be sufficient for ten
acre tract on an ordinary lift and
the latter for 20 acres. The pump
is valveless, is simple in construc-
tion and has an average efficiency
of 70 per cent under official test.
The company will furnish with each
pump a guarantee of more water
with a saving of at least ten per
cent in power.

There is much red tape connected

vised not to be impatient.

favor on him and at the same time
give little boost to the valley by
passing along to him some of your
good fruit. He is sure we con
sweep the field if we make any
kind of showing. Leslie's father,
j. B. Tromanhauser, has copy of
the rules Of the contest and will be
glad to take anything you want to
send.
