There are considerable tracts of unimproved lands lying adjacent to the ditch, but as yet not watered by it. Such land is held at prices averaging about $400,00 per acre.
Pumping Plakts.
Beyond the reach of the ditch there are several improved ranches, occupying the open spots along the river, where the steep bluffs recede somewhat from the bank. Some of the ranchers in this section are watering their lands by means of pumps, operated by gasoline. Others have access to live springs in the hills
... or have built small reservoirs in the gulches for storing the flood waters of spring. Still others resort to current wheels, by means of which a limited amount of water may be lifted and distributed to their lands.
—4 ^f\ ^-r^fk^i Douglas County 51 Private pumping plants seem to be gaining in favor, and conditions for their successful operation appear to be peculiarly suitable in this section. One such plant, now in use for watering 100 acres of land, cost for installation $2,500.00, and the expense of operation, outside of the personal care required, is $1.50 per day.
