Syndicate eyes $400000 on Northern Pacific irrigation canals
Western capitalists led by H A Hover secure an option on the canals and about 15 000 acres of land at Kiona for roughly 400 000 dollars. Engineers will inspect the property to assess irrigable acres and potential extension of the Kiona ditch. If promoters approve, a financing corporation will be formed with substantial capital. The plan preserves water rights and maintenance fees and promises steady yet progressive management. OFF FOR THE BIG ROUND UP. Jim Young and Claude Montgomery ride out for the Big Bend roundup to buy horses and return with stories and stock.
