paying $:ili,000. Out of this cnvolvod
lognl tangle Mr. Siuidora has finally
roachod tho point wlioro ho can sco
IiIh way clear to go hoad with eonio
dogroo of Hiifoty.
Koronstnirtlug Dam.
Mr, Baudot h fliht turned IiIh atten
tion to a reconstruction of tho dam.
dam to n great dogroo but yot tlioro
tomaliis much to ho dono, before it Is
completed. Stool and concroto nlono
nro used. Tho total lougth of tho
dam from bank to bank will bo S10
foot ;tho pump houao will bo 30 by
HO foot; tho po,wor house. 52 by 120
foot; tho spill-way 120 foot loug; 25
foot high, without Hash boardb; thoro
will bo 13 flood wntor gates, 0 by 9
nnd two additional watorjjatoa 10 by
Hoguo Ulvor Company leiiBod tlio Tho work Iiuh jirogvossod upon this jo, In cuso of flood, gatoa nnd
spill way will have a capacity of 7C,
000 bccond feet, which will bo a
greater amount of water than auy
flood yot recorded in Rogue river;
5000 horso powor will bo developed
and will be devoted to pumping for
irrigation. In tho power house will
bo located soven turbines, connected
with pumps of tho total canpclty of
not less than 20,000 gallons per mln
uto. Besides tho sovon vertical tur
bines, thoro will tio six horizontal
turbines In tho power house which
will bo directly connected with flvo
generator units and made to oporato
in series or Independent. Tho spill
way will bo provided with a passage
undor tho river, which will contain
twenty largo wluodws, giving light
through tho wator. In tho Bplll-way
will also bo located ten horizontal
turbines with generators attached,
whorofrom powor will bo dovolopod
to oporato second lift pumps at var-.
ions points about tho distributing
Bystom. The ontlro plant will also
bo electrically llghtod within and
without.
Covers !U,000 Acres.
Tho irrigation systom which will
covor 30,000 aerea ot land Is com
prised of four mnln dltchos, known
aa tho Frultdalo, Jones Crook, Grants
Pass and Applegato, Only ono of
theso is a gravity lino. Wator In that
vicinity moans Increased rovonuo and
will add groatly to tho wealth tri
butary to Grants Pass.
This suinmor whon wator was first
supplied Mr. Sandor8 did not wait for
tho signing of contracts Ho urged
all or tho ranchors in that vicinity to
uso tho wator, saying that thoy could
sign up at any tlmo. In this mannor
tho valuo or this year's crops in that
vicinity Ih greatly onhancod. It was
also good business; tho man who did
not bellovo in irrigation was thus led
to try ft oat and having once demon
strated Its valuo ho lost llttlo time
in signing the contract insuring him
water for all future time.
But Mr. Sanders went a step fur
there; in the vicinity of Grants Pass
there aro several thousand acres of
land which havo been logged off, the
stumps still covering tho land. For
a short tlmo each winter between
rains, ranchers were gradually clear
ing this lang, reclaiming it and mak
ing valuablo fields. This summer Mr.
Sanders gavo them water, free ot
charge, they flooded tho land, and
during tho summer months, while
fair weather prevailed, much pro
gress was mado In clearing. As a
consequence hundreds of acres will
bo added to tho land under cultiva
tion In that section next spring.
Complete Next Year.
Mr. Sanders has spared no expense
in perfecting tho project. Ho hopes
next year to havo it completed to
such an extent that It can practically
bo considered finished. When it is
finished It will provo ono of tho
greatest facts in tho development ot
tho lowor Roguo River Valloy.
Small wonder then that the pub
lic sentiment In Grants Pass has
changed. Because Mr. Sandors has
straightened out this logal tangle;
because- ho has placed a bankrupt
company on its fcot; becauso ho has
handled in a big way a b'lg job, tho
peoplo ot Grants Pass glvo him crod
It. And ench year, aa wator flows
through tho ditches and canals of
tho Chlcago-Roguo River Company,
Insuring a godlon harvest In tho fall,
tho pralso given Mr. Sanders will
grow in volumo nil of which Is as it
should be.
