The proposed town»ite is located on
Alice, Tex.—One of the most primi-
tive and unique irrigation pumps 1=»
the United States has been in regular
operation near here tor more than
fifty years and is still in serviceable
condition. This invention is in a
class by itself and' is the product of
the ingenuity of a Mexican ranchman.
The pump is situated upon the ranch
of Charles Weil, who uses it to lift,
the water for irrigating a large patch
of ground. The water supply is ob-
tained from a surface well over which
the pumping apparatus is placed. The
water is lilted into a wooden trough,
which is elevated a few feet above the
surface by means of a wooden water
wheel of the crudest type. Attached
to the ponderous wheel are tin cans at
regular intervals. When the wheel
revolves these cans are dipped into
the water and, becoming filled, are
lifted to the surface, and as they turn
downward again the water is dumped
into the trough. The spoko3 of the
wheel are placed on one side so that
VVillio the trough may set underneath the
' upper elevation of the rim. An iron
pipe leads from the trough to the irri-
gating ditch, which conveys the water
for distribution over the ground.
A pair of small Spanish mules are
used as motive power for turning the
wheel. They are hitched to a long
pole, which they pull around and
around the well. Every part of the ir-
rigating machine is hand-made. It h .s
withstood many years of almost con-
stant use. .
This ancient method of irrigating
the land is a curiosity to newcomers
to that locality. No small amount of
inventive genius and skill is shown
