The Union Colony describes fertile Platte Valley soils, irrigation canals, and abundant land sales including 24 acre and 5 acre parcels, urging Eastern settlers to buy before prices rise next spring, citing low current costs and strong town prospects.

Irrigating Canals and The Ganges Canal of India
A detailed look at large irrigation canals including the Po River system near Chivasco with an eight foot raise, fifty three and one third mile length, and the Dora Baltea crossing. It contrasts European canal scale with the Ganges Canal of India discharging 8000 cubic feet per second over 1000 miles, reclaiming 11 million acres, and yielding 22.5 percent annual return on £1.5 million investment, arguing irrigation as vital as railways and reliant on cooperative effort and the Colony System.

Artesian Wells Show Promise For Western Water Supply
Union Pacific tests artesian wells along the Wyoming line with notable depths and flows. Point of Rocks yields water within seven feet of the surface. Rock Spring and Itter Creek show strong flows. Washakie well exceeds six hundred feet depth. Results suggest later desert reclamation using irrigation in the plains and mountains. A second note highlights honey bee production in the United States with sizable revenues and wax yields.
