Ev erything new and up to date. me loggeiry AL SEW IRRIGATION SCHEME. local Electric Company will Install rumps to do the Work. ; The Eastern Oregon Light and Power company la planning to Install electric pumping plants wherever de sired according to announcements made bjr the head office at Baker. The announcement Bays: All persons owning land in Baker and Union counties, . not supplied with sufficient water for Irrigation 1 purposes, are earnestly. requested to' furnish their names and addresses to ' either In Baker City or our La Grande office. It Ir our aim to have a representative of our engineering department make calls for the pur-( pose of getting the necessary surveys and to furnish estimates as to the cost of irrigating such grounds by -electrically operated pumps. I It has been our observation that! boundreds of land owners within the limits of our high tension transmis sion lines are in possession of valu able tracts of land, without fully realizing how easily and inexpen sively the same may be irrigated by pumping electrically from rivers, ditches, wells, etc.; and It is our in tentlon wherever possible to form such Into groups in order that their land may be reached with the. exten sions to our electric lines at the min imum of expense to each. ' ' Hydro-eelctrlc Irrigation has been the main factor of development dur ing the past several years in many western communities. During this practicability within our own' terri tory by the installation and success ful operation of several pupming equipments at Baker City, North Powder and La Grande; and the re sults ,as viewed by the practical ir rigators in these communities, has been most gratifying, Indeed. Since the advent of this compara tively new method of irrigation, many lan downers have awakened to find what had heretofore been considered an almost valueless tract of land is their most valuable possession, as a nominal sum paid per acre for elec tric power will now place their land under water. It Is also found that in many places where ditches or natural streams are not available as source of water sup ply, that a well of comparatively . small dimensions is found adequate for the purpose, as both Baker and Union counties are amply supplied j with .sub-surface water. , ii au persons owning nigh or dry ground will kindly notify one of our main omces, we win cneeriuny tur nlsh free the services of 'one of our engineers for the purpose of getting data essential to making the esti mates on the cost of electrically op erated pumping equipment.
