PAUL HAYNE3 is engaged in put

Huff, to irrigate 25 acres of his ranch
across the Columbia river lrcra We
natchee.
The plant consists of two scows an
chored in the river side-by -side, with
a series of paddle wheels between them,
which are turned by the rapid current.
The Wheeies are eight feet in diam-
eter with eight toot paddles and devel
ope about six h. p. each. They are
arranged in tandem and are connected
by means of a spro3ket wheel and
chain device. The power is transmit
ted to a powerful pump which ,s capa
ble of raising water to a height of I<>o
feet above the river The original cost
of irrigating will not exceed $20 j>er
acre while the cost of inaintainauee
is praetieilly nothing .
A great deal of intersect is being
taken in the construction of the plant
by land owners along the Columbia
and Wenatohee rivers, aud if it proves
successful a number of the plants will
