VALIC, OKIftON W. J. Morrison of the Jamieson country who was a Vale visitor on last Saturday reported that hia section ol the country had suffered a great deal from the recent storms. Among the heaviest loser is Chas. Boswell, the bee man. who lost 150 stands of bees The high waters not only washed away some of the stands but smothered many of the bees and the loss is estimated at $2,500. The Boswell ranch is located at the junction of the Pole and Willow creeks. Between 40 and 60 feet of flume of the Pole creek reservoir werej washed out, some of the main canal of the Willow River project and ditches on the Bridewell ranch were considerably damaged by the high waters. Bad washouts also occurred in the Canyon road. UPPER DEAD OX FLAT TO BE IRRIGATED County Court Sets Septem ber 17th as Date for Election of Officers of new Irrigation District 20,000 Acres to be Watered September' 16th has been set by the county court as the date when the Dead Ox Flat irrigation district of 20,000 acres shall elect its board of Ave directors and other officers. After their election these officers will set the exact boundaries of the irrigation district. The water will be pumped on the vast tract of land by electricity from the district's power plant which is to be erected on the Payette river. On June 12 the government granted a power site permit on the Payette to W. F. Homan, cashier of the Ontario National bank, who is looking after the interest of the settlers under the proposed irrigation project. Assoc iated with Mr. Homan as members of a committee to further the details of the project are H. L. Poorman, A. Jaquish, Henry Bier, C. F. Hagar, Roy Kelley, and Willard Youst. The power site granted by the gov ernment is on the north and south forks of Payette river and the plant to be erected will generate rO.OOO horsepower which can be transmitted to the pumping plant on the Snake River. The settlers expect to UBe this power for lighting their houses and barns, running of farm machine ry, etc., as well as for pumping of water on the 20,000 acre district. This project ia located on the high bench of the Dead Ox Flat and ex tends along the Snake river for many miles and ia "considered one of the best sections of this part of Malheur county. The highest lift required will be 350 feet, and there will be one or two outlets to irrigation ditches be low the 350-feet limit, so that not nearly all of the water for the 20,000 acrea will need to be lifted 850 feet. Thia 350-foot lift will probably be the highest water lift along the Snake River. LAST SERMON BY REV. C.
