ON MOUNTAIN TOP
One of the most ambitions' private Ir
rigation projects that has ever been un
dertaken in the northwest Is the plan
of the Crater Irrigation & 'Power com
pany to tap the Corp- lake,-located -In
the mountains ' back of : Ooldendale,
Klickitat County, Washington. f Carp
lake la at the summit of a volcanlo
mountain about 10 mi lea north of Ool
dendale. Irrigation enslneera have est!
mated that It contains sufficient stor
age capacity to irrigate between 8000
and 10,000 acres of land. ' .
It la proposed to bore a tunnel under
the mountain and tap tne bottom of the
lake: the water supply will then be con
trolled by means of flood gates Milt
at the mouth of the tunnel. s - . ,
The incorporators of the Crater Irrl
ration & Power company are Congress
man - W. W. McCredta of Vancouver,
Wash., I A. Duncan of Portland, and
Frank Aldrich - of . Ooldendale. ; Wash.
Congressman MeCredle will finance the
undertaking by selling bonds to wealthy
eastern friends, , -; ' ......
Carp lake ia fed from undergroond
water course and it Is believed there is
ample supply of water to Irrigate a
much larger territory - than . the land
available in Spring creek valley, where
the lncoroprators of the irrigation, com
pany are heavily Interested. Another
plan ot tha company contemplates turn
ing MHI creek, which is six miles away
from Carp lake, by means of a ditch, In

prosecuted throughout this winter and
