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.
