You need to take a look at this photo online. It shows a barn, coral, 1910's car, water ditch and trees. WOW! Unissued. Benjamin F. Graham acquired James Ranch on the Kings River in 1912 through his company, Graham Farm Lands Company. Graham retained an engineering firm to plan a comprehensive reclamation and irrigation system for James Ranch. The engineers designed a large levee system that improved upon the structures erected during Jefferson James’s ownership. The engineers work also involved extensive topographic and other surveys, building main canals, laterals, and structures, and the drilling of deep artesian and shallow wells. Graham eventually sold his interest in the company to a group of Los Angeles investors, who successfully petitioned to change the corporate name to San Joaquin Valley Farm Lands Company in July 1913.
