Tlitvo Ways to Approach.
Thoro are lliree distinct avenues
of approach to this project. First
it may he viewed an "good business"
for today, Two and n half millions
of dollars nro being expended in a
vast irrigation system and in im
provement of tho tracts, creating im
mediate payrolls nnd purchase, of
supplies. Second, it menus tho rec
lamation of thousands of nures of
land in tho valloy which only noed
irrigation to make thorn highly pro
ductive, thus adding to tho woultU oi
tho valley as n whole. Third, it may
bo compared to n great factory ready
for oporation producing wealth con
tinuously and for all time. Tho first
avenue is pleasant indeed and is
worth traveling. Tho second is nlso
tempting but it has bcon traveled as
thu first. Hut the third! Hero is a
road that not only seems pleasant
but benrt. all the novelty of an un
known road. So wo shall approach
by way of tho factory.
A Funning Factory.
Truck farming on thetraots of
tho Itoguo Hivor Valley Canal com
pany is simply inanufaoturing from
the soil. Thu acreago comprises n
grent manufneturing institution
ready for oporation, Inio this tho
fanner will put certain raw mnterials,
his labor and his skill. Abundant
production with irrigation is assured.
It depends upon his judgment nnd in
dustry whnt ho shall tako "out of
tho hopper." Nature is a gouorous
giver. Thero is abundant sunshine
and tho soil is of marvelous perfec
tion for tho culture of small fruits
nud vegetables, Thore is only one
more detail necessary to complulo
this opeu uir factory for tho wholo
snlo production of molons, vegeta
bles, berries nud fruits and that is
a supply of wator. And through tho
efforts of tho company this has been
supplied. Jupiter Pluyius may for
get, if ho will, that his watering pot
is needed. The fuelory will keep up
turning out its products without him.
For miles through gorge nnd around
hillside, past towering pines uud pro-.
cipitoiiB cliffs, in abundant profits,
ion comes roaring, or murmuring,
hundreds upon hundreds of inches
of pure cold mountain wator to
transform wjmt has hoqn misnamed
a "deert" into a garden spot.
Call for Hooks,
Hut let us bo praotical business
men. Lot us call for the books nnd
seo what Mr. Teti-nero-traot-man
will do in tho way of wealth produc
tion. Tho company has 7000 acres of
land which is subdivided into 10 noro
tracts upon each of which n family
