THE MOKfflSG OREGOiyiAy, TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1903: PUMP WATER FROM SNAKE now MAXrHKUIt ORCHARD CHEAPLY IRRIGATED. IS Arid Land Made to Prodnce Excellent Fruit Baptist Minister Randier" Iadaatrlons Life. ONTARIO, Or.. Aug. 19. (Special:) Irri gation by means of gasoline engine and pump Is no longer an experiment in this vicinity, but is now in successful opera tion. One of the most unique ranches in Malheur County, or possibly for that mat ter. In Oregon, is the fruit ranch, seven miles below Ontario, ownea by Dr. L M. "Rockefeller, of Anaconda, Mont. This ranch is located on the bank of Snake River, almost due north of Payette, Idaho, and north of Ontario, Or., and con sists of 279 acres in all, GO acres of which are In orchard. The remainder has not been put Into cultivation yet. In this CO-acre orchard there are 4003 apple trees and 2000 pear trees, or 6400 trees in alLThe apple trees were set out four years ago last Spring and the pears four years this Pall, but both are beginning to bear """It There were a few apples last year and n jw there are both apples and peare-The fruit will pay expenses this year. There would have been 109 60-pound boxes of pars hau not the katydids destroyed some of them. The apple trees are set out 30 feet apart one way and small furrows are run on tach side for running the water through, iho furrows for the pear trees are only tight feet apart. The arrangements for watering thjs or chard are especially interesting; up the river, about 300 yards from the house, which is located on the lower side of the ranch but also near the river. As a small, unimportant-looking shed of a house, fcbout RxlG feet. This house contains an Ught-horsepower gasoline engine, dynamo and vater-tank, besides tools. llotv Irrigation Is Accomplished. Just outside the building is the head of Ihe flume through which the water flows cut into the ditches. Tho head of the liurae is almost the shape of a pear cut half in two and hollowoa out, and in the center of this is a slxinch pipe extend ing to the pump, about six feet below; connected with the pump, which Is a four Inch machine, is another six-inch Iron pipe extending to the water in the river, for use when the water is low. Almost be neath the pump is a rectangular well about 3xC feet, with the curbing of heavy lumber extending high enough above the ground to be above water most of the time; at the bottom of this well is a flume extending into the water, so that the higher the water is in the river the higher it Is in the well. When the water Is reasonably high a rubber hose Is connected with the pump and water Is drawn up from the well. "Where the water comes Into the pear- Ehaped flume-head from the pump it looks like an ever-flowing artesian well, when the water is high, as it generally Is in June, tho pump will throw CO inches of water, but now. when it is lowest. It has to raise tho water 21 feet, so It only throws about 30 inches. ' Expense la Not Heavy. The cBt of the machinery was not groat. The engine and fixtures cost 1609. tho pump ana pipes 5100, and house, flumes. etc.. about $50. making the entire expense of the plant $750. The cost of running is only $00 per year outside of the labor of one man, who runs the engine and man' uges the entire ranch. By this means the cost of the water is only about $1 per acre for one year, while he has a perpetual water right which no man can harm, unless Snake River goes dry The orchard has to be watered once In three weeks when there Is no rain, but a 24 hours' run is all that is required to water the entire orchard, so that one man J:ceps tho ranch in first-class condition .Tthn H. Furcell lives upon the ranch and has managed it for Mr. Rockefeller for two years. The entire orchard looks as clear of weeds and undesirable growth as a garden, and is a very motisl of noatneos. Mr Rockefeller proposes sowing clover or grass between tho fruit trees, which will a3J greatly to the Income of the place as well as to its beauty. o I-oiiRcr an Experiment. This enterprise has passed the experi mental atage and Is a success as Is shown by the orchard and by the fact that Mr. Rockefeller is planning to have 100 acres needed to alfalfa and water it in the same way. He will put lna larger engine and rump for the alfalfa', but the larger the engine and number of acres watered the less the average oxpeBse per acre. With the 60 acres, however, the expense is less than it would be could he get water from the irrigation ciltchcs. and is far more sat isfactory as there Is no trouble about ditches breaking or others getting too much of the water. Snake River Txas an abundant supply for all. Others are planning the same means of Irrigation. A man from Utah has pur chased 273 acres Joining Mr. Rockefeller cn the east and proposes putting the en tire ranch In alfalfa and water It from Snako River by means of pump and en Kino. Rev. Samuel Applegate. a Baptist minister and Oregon pioneer of 18W. owns S20 acres of land just three miles lower down the river. He has a lS-horsepower gasoline engine and expects to put into operation next season a pump which has a capacity of 300 Inches of water. Mr. Ap rlegato has lived upon his present place for 17 years and has been cutting wild hay. but now he expects to multiply his income many times by raising alfalfa. While he owns a ranch of 320 acres and devotes most nf his time to his home, he is also a regular gospel preacher and is pastor of a small Baptist church in his community. Vncle Sammy Applegate is a very popu lar man. rincer Gold Mine. On the ranch of Mr. Applegate is a large bed of sand and gravel which is filled with particles of golrt almost as fine as flour, tut it has been successfully worked sev eral times by the use of the "Beach ma chine." Three men working the machine have taken out on the average $t70 per dav The mine can be worked only about three months in each year, as the gold is J'iwn to the water level and one must wait low water. FImUIuc Industry Profitable. S- At the present time another industrv is r are profitable, which must be eared for J ist as the mining season. That Is the etching of fish from Snake River. ccordlng to the stato lawi, Mr. Apr-pate begins ca telling salmon about Sp- t mber 15 and continues as long as they fire good. This Industry is very lucrative as".e it lasts, so that if the sage brush 2-"s hold sway over much f tho land. '! river furnishes much good salmon antl surgeon to eat. But the sagebrush along t . k River is having to give way to or c 3"ls and alfalfa, ami soon the river will r bordered -with beautiful homes. There n-e abundant opportunities' at "present for FTsall capital to invest atom? Snake River within a few miles of Ontario and make comfortable homes.
