Peralta Reavis Returns as Irrigation Plan Advances
James Addison Ashley Reavis known as Peralta Reavis returns from Washington with news that irrigation work has begun in Arizona and a government colonization scheme on land he heir to.

The plan relies on water rights, government dams, and alfalfa, with settlements financed by his company and the law allowing absence during water provision.
