SHARP DEMAND FOR MORE
HOMES IN ARDMORE SAYS
REAL Is TATE DEALER

"There are no vacant houses in
Ardmore now and hundreds of tamil
lies are planning to move here for
the benefit of the schools this
winter" said Z. E. Guillot today.
Mr.. Guilot is engaged in the real
estate business and he states that the
demand for Ardmore property mas been
quickened the last few days and a
number of sales are now being made.
There was a lull in the local mar
ket during the severest portion of
the summer while many people were
out of the city but the cool days of
August the past week has sharpened
the demnd and TIE ding is again ac.
tive.
Some Of the home building loan
companies have withdrawn money
while call money has been 50 high in
the east but early in September these
COMPARES will be back n the mar.
ket and will be making loans for the
purpose Of building homes.
Mr.. Guillot is of the opinion that
Vie utIIldIu lOL IlOlllcs AZ hA'A
will be Just as great this winter as
last winter He does not see how the
city is TO take care of the people so
inadequate are the housing facilities.
Many people come in from the oil
fields during the winter. They want
10 live here on account Of conditions
being better and also for the benefit
Of the schools and where these peo-
pie are TO be housed is not known.
There is a sharp demand in Ard
more for more homes and while
building costs are high there is small
prospects that they will get lower
and rents are also high and investors
can certainly afford 10 build homes
now as well as at any other time in
the history Of the city.

WILL PUMP.
hWATFR ON LARGE
. 0KANOGAN TRACT
53. 900 ACRES TO RECEIVE NOIS-
TURE FROM PLANT THAT WILL
LIFT $4,000 GALLONS PER
MINUTE 470 FEET.

In order to provide a dependable
water supply against the threatened
dry season this year the land owners
under the government project in tt ,
Okanogan Valley are preparing to in
stall one of the most powerful pump
ing plants ever used for irrigation
purposes.
1t is proposed to lift sufficient wat
er out Of the Okanogan river to n.-
rigate $500 acres Of land now in bear
ing orchards in the vicinity of Omak.
This water will have to be lifted %
the total height of 47O feet and
pumps having a capacity of 25.O00
gallons per minute will be required
for the work.
So far as is known this is the big
gest pumping plant installation for
irrigation purposes in the history Of
this country.
The unusually dry winter following
the same condition which prevailed
last year has reduced the probable
water supply for the Okanogan pro
iect far below the minimum REQUIRE
ments. Even with the most copious
spring rains there is little hope that
the new reservoir could be filed in
time for this year.
John s. Peterson. A. II. McDermott
and D. F. Hendrick Of Omak. repre-
senting the water users of the proiec.
were in Wenatchee last week to CON
suit with engineer D. c. Hennv of
Portland. one of the leading author-
ties on irrigation and pumping plants
with the United States Reclamation
Service.
The question of financing the prop
osition is being considered and it is
expected that plan will be worked
out so that the contract may be let
within a very short time.
Manufacturers of engines and
pumps have looked over the proposi-
tion and pronounce it feasible. in fact
they are willing to guarantee to de-
liver the water required.

UNUSUALLY DRY SEASON
is PREDICTED FOR 1920
Arid Condition Prevails Over Entire
Pacific Coast. and Irrigation Ex-
perts Plan Relief Measures.

Fruit growers and farmers general
y throughout North Central Wash
lngton are being warned that the dry
est season in the history of this part
of the country is now approaching.
There is practically no snow in the
mountains and the streams are all al
ready very low as a result of previous
dry years
This arid condition prevails all over
the entire Pacific coast and every
where irrigation experts are attempt
ing to study out means for overcom-
ing it.
In California the water supply is
so low that electrical power is shut
off from manufacturing establish
emnts except for few hours every
night. Ranchers and others are ad-
opting new methods of irrigation in
order to conserve what little waite,
there is available
One plan that has proven very sue
cessful in California is to use the
flooding method if ir1'igating. In an
orchard they make bitches around
each tree and fill the space between
them with water instead of letting it
run past. They catch it in these pud
dies and allow it to stand until If all
soaks into the soil
Ranchers on the dry lands in Wash
ington might use the early spring wa
ter to irrigate instead of letting If
run away. With the present mild
weather it is practical to iriigate the
soil heavily much earlier than usual
and then by light cultivation create a
dust mulch which would retain the
moisture underneath.
Wonderful results have been
achieved by Burlingame of Walla
Walla. who raises two crops of alfal-
ia every year on several hundred
acres of dry land simply by winter
and early spring irrigating, utilizing
the water that runs of when the snow
melts for this purpose. 1t is believed
that some such method must be ad-
opoted in the drier lands of North
Central Washington this year in or
der to prevent a disastrous drought
the coming season.
