UNCLE SAM WILL KEEP HIS PROMISE
PRIVATE
TURNED
It Will Be Likewise in Malheur
County When Secretary Ballin
ger Renders His Decision.
The government has declined to permit
private capital to huilil the (irantl Junction,
Colorado, liih line ditch, according to a de
cision of Secretary of the Interior Btllinger,
and Undo Sain will proceed with the work at
a reasonable rate of speed with funds available
under the reclamation act The preliminary
work on the Grand Junction nroject, which had
been suspended, 'ill bo resinned at once by
the government.
The above decision by Secretary Hallin
ger dispels all doubts regarding the Malheur
project, and shows that Uncle Sam will keep
faith with the people after making a promise
and that the Colorado decision conclusively
shows that the government will also construct
the Malheur Irrigation 1'rojeet.
