THE ELECTRIC PUMP
Are You Looking for Money ?
In Competition With the Ditch, Canal. Steam or Gas­
. Do you realizei the fact that water will Double Your Crops ?
Yes, we will put it stron g er-Y ou ought to, quadruple your
crops with water.
Yes, and it can be d on e!
Not in a minute—B ut it can be done .
You and WE. can do it—pulling together.
Our business is helping Your business.
Our prosperity depends on Your prosperity.
You can get along without ,.Us, but you can get M ore M oney
W ith U s .
How can this be done ?
H ere’s the point— fill in the figures yourself.
We come to you with a proposition to furnish you ample water
for irrigation, where you want it and WHEN you want it ; cheaper
and more convenient than a ditch or steam or gasoline engine.
WE DO IT WITH THE ELECTRIC PUMP.
oline Driven Pump
is driving them:out o f the field in Southern California and elsewhere.
It has made the desert hlossom; made worthless land valuable;
quadrupled the valua.of lands and products and in some cases the
increase in value has.been Ten-Fold and a Hundred-Fold.
Can sufficient water be obtained for irrigation from wells ?
Some people say no.
They used to say No in the Desert o f Southern California; but
they do so no longer; they are getting the water and plenty o f it
there and also in the Rogue River Valley.
In California they have to go from 50 to several hundred feet
in depth and pay $54 per season per horse power.
In the Rogue River Valley in the most o f cases you get ample
water from 16 to 50 feet depth and you only pay $30 per Horse
Power for the irrigating season.

W hat is the Advantage of Irrigating
W ith Electric Pumps?
Now , Where is the hitch /
OW get together with your
neighbors and form a par­
t y line and thus divide up the
expense Am ong yourselves for
Electric Power, Electric Light
and Telephones.
a
Now here is where we SHINE.
FIR ST—The price is cheaper; the average cost per acre for the season with an Electric Pump
is $1.25 per acre for water.
SECOND—You pay N o B onus .
TH IR D —You do not have to mortgage your land forever.
FOURTH—You do not convert your land into a swamp as'with a ditch; you thus avoid Malaria,
Mosquitoes and all the attendant evils.
FIFTH —You can get your water when ycu want it and where you want it ; you do not
have to wait your turn and quarrel with your neighbors.
SIXTH —You do not have to enter into any contract for any stated period; if "pump irrigation
does not suit you, you can quit; the only guarantee that you give is that you will pay your propor­
tion o f the cost o f the line and this money you get back in power or light; in other words you
simply guarantee your GOOD faith .
SEVENTH —You can use Electric Power to Saw Wood, Grind Feed, Churn Butter,. Separate
Cream, do the Washing and Ironing, Cooking and Heating; keep yourself cool in summer with
Electric Fans; it drives away the flies, purifies the air, runs the Sewing Machine and numerous
other uses o f which not the least is to have your wife and family rise up and bless you for the com­
fort and ease thus afforded.
EIGHTH—You can use the Electric Hot Water Bottle or Pad, one-'6f the greatest and most
beneficial discoveries o f the twentieth century; affords dry and continuous heat; warms the bed;
prevents cold feet; is o f the greatest benefit for pain, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Pneumonia, Bron­
chitis, Coughs, Colds, Consumption, Croup, Whooping Cough and pain in any part o f the body.
N IN TH —You can use Electric Light; as the Sun (which is concentrated Electricity) dispels
the fog, dampness, disease, and Gives Life Itself to all the Human Race and the Animal and Vege­
table Kingdoms, so the Electric Light at.night performs the same Life-Giving.Eunctions in a milder
form.
TENTH—The Electric Light is the cheapest knowri light, if you value your time, your safety
and your health worth anything; it does not vitiate the air like Oil or Gas Lamps; there is no odor;
there is absolute safety; your insurance is lessened; it is convenient—simply press the button.
Perhaps you think it would cost too much money—more than you can afford.
NOW SEE HERE—
It will cost you Two Cents to find out. W rite us today and state your wants ; you will
be surprised to see how little it costs; we will take pleasure in answering all inquiries and send our
agents to you promptly.

IRRIGATION
My motor ran the season through with only one oiling, but I oiled the pump every
morning when I started the motor, which is ali there is to look after.
I t gave the least trouble of any machinery I ever used.
Now, as to what I accomplished with water— I m o r e t h a n t r e b l e d t h e y i e l d o r c o r n
CENTRAL POINT, ORE., March 20, 1906.
CONDOR W ATER & POWER CO . TOLO. OREGON.
G E N T L E M E N :— I thought It m ight be of some interest to you to give some hind of
a statem ent as to what I thought of your Centrifugal Pump, operated by Electric Motor,
purchased from you last May.
How it works aod how i„ suits me :
The Electric Motor I use i-* a five-borse-pewer belted direct to a three-tnch Centrifugal
Pump.
T h is pump-will give from COO to 500 gallons per minute, depending on the lift.
A 3-horse-power motor, however, would run this pump and give the same amount of water.
On one part of my place I had to force water 480 feet on a grade of 12 to 13 feet; 20 feet
from well, through a 4-ineh p.pe. I got from 350 to-400 gallons per minute.
T h is elevation I speak O j ie above the pump
I could pump 500 gallocaper minute from my well, day and night all season up to Nov. 1.
T h is was the last pumping I did in order to wet the ground so I could dig my trees.
My well Is 16 feet deep, air feet wide and 12 feet long, with no tunnels.
Z estim ate th a t I can Irrigate 120 acres of ground with my pump.
Now,
to the-worklug of the electric pump and motor, neither have given me any
I could start the motor running on Monday morning and it would be running Saturday
night, if some one would not call around aod stop it.

AND I DOUBLED THE APPLE CROP.
1 had no alfalfa to water and was not prepared to get water to our garden, but I ralsod
a fine crop of beets on ground that, without watnr, would not have grown anything.
As to Sweet Corn, ask J. W . M erritt.
I t was THE LARGEST CORN I EVER HAW, AND I HAVE RAISED CORN IN IOWA AND ON THE
MISSOURI RIVER BOTTOM.
I am going to grow some more this year, Cali and see It.
I used water on my seedlings for nursery stock and I am well pleased with the results,
I grew 150,000 seedling); that, without water, I could not have grown, and as a result
have 125,000 pears budded and grafted and 25,000 apples to say nothing of the benefit in
other ways.
The Electric Pump is the thiog.
Y e a cao have the water where you want It and when you want It, which Is the essen­
tial thing.
My children could start and stop the motor and oil the pumo.
I consider that there is no more danger in a motor than machinery with cog wheels,
aod not as much for children.
T o close, will say that I am well pleased with the motor and pump, and well pleased
with the way you people have treated me.
Hoping you success, I am very truly yours,
J. S. BARNETT.
