FIRST GROUND BROKEN

ton System.
THE GREAT OBJECT ATTAINED


On a bright, warm. sunny morning
in July, 1915. a number of citizens Of
Oroville, among them the directors of
the district. collected on the hill Just
east of town. very near the spot where
the dedicatory exercises were held on
the 18th of June, 1916, and witnessed
the ploWshare turn up the first ground
when the construction of the West
Okanogan Valley Irrigation system
was initiated. There was no demon
stration of any kind. and the proceed
ings We're simple. although marking
such an important event in the annals
of the upper Okanogan valley. Stakes
bearing the engineers hieroglyphics
marked the line at regular intervals.
Men, teams, plOWs and scrapers were
on hand ready for action, and tina,
man of force and resource, II. +. Hoff-
mark. who, as manager for the con
tractors. A. Guthrie K Co.. had charge
of the work from the beginning to al

to see that the start was made right

land under the system, that is, low in
comparison with the ruling prices in
other irrigation districts. In other To-
calities where water has been applied
to the soil and improvements made,
land is held at price beyond the
reach of the ordinary investor. 1t is
different under the West Okanogan
Valley system. Land can be purchased
at very reasonable figures and on
easy terms. When irrigable land is
bought at high prices there is very lit
tie chance for increase in values, but
buying under the local project the in
weston Is certain of a steady increase
in valuation as the land is improved.
On that account in conjunction with
the equitable climate, and situation as
to transportation, this is one of the
most inviting fields for the man seek
ing home in the west That the land
lis bound to advance in value from
year to year is beyond question of a
doubt for that is the history of every
irrigation district ever organized, as
land prices are more reasonable in
this district at the present time than
in other districts on the coast at the
time they were reclaimed. This land
has the producing virtue that insures
livelihood to those who apply .intelli-
gence in cultivation, and as it's pro-
ducing quality is developed naturally
better values are being created. Those
contemplating coming west to settle
should make it special point to look
over this district before reaching de-
cision. 1t is country that invites in
|vestigation, and those familiar with
lit have no doubts as to the verdict Of
those who come and see.
