KESOLITIOXS PASSED t)LLOVlXG TUESDAY'S DEBATE JReconimeiidation Made for Building I'uwUilla EUn.(nii With Waters Appurtenant to Lands Affected. At the meeting of the Umatilla County Waterusers' association, held in the Oregon theater following the adjournment of the Commercial club session Tuesday night the following resolutions were adopted. The mln ates of the meeting do not show by -whom the resolutions were submitted. Besol ii tions. 'Be It Resolved, Thnt the Umatilla bounty Waterusers' a-'sociation is still pposed to any plan for the construc tion of the West Umatilla project which jeopardizes or would result In iiminishmcnt of the rights of the present prior appropriates of water along Birch creek, McKay creek or the upper Umatilla river. 2. That we are in favor of the construction of the West Umatilla project, by the government, to pro vide for the irrigation of lands as heretofore out ined. to such extent as funds may be found available, pro vided, that only such, waters of the Umatilla river be used as are now ap rpurtenant to the lands proposed to be : included in the said West Umatilla extension, tow t, the lands of the Or ?gon UmJ and Water Co. at Irrigon; the lands of the Western Land and Irrigation Co. in part, and possibly 5art of the Brownell Ditch company, here the irrigation system of these companies would be superceded, dis placed, rendered unnecessary and absorbed by the system of the said West Umatilla project; except that we consider it a wise conservation, if In addition tothis there be used the seep age waters from projects higher up and that any additional waters be ob tained from the John Day river. 3. That the suits started against the water users of the Umatilla river and Birch and McKay creeks be at once disnvssed and further expense to these farmers for defense of their rights be not caused to them. 4 That it is the sense of this meeting that execution of the plans for the construction of the West Uma tilla project as outlined above in paragraph numbered 2, would result in unifying the sentiment of all the Three Plait Drunks. Three offenders were up before Po lice Judge Fitz Gerald this morning on the charge of being drunk. They all pleaded guilty and were fined .$5 each, or three days in jail. The men gave their names as John Wallazrie, Lee Luckeder and Virgil McCoy. Pastime Makes Bis Improvement.

We believe thj interests of the Umatilla irrigation project and the west extension thereof would best be K-ived if the Settlors and land own ers on the upper Umatilla riv.r and i s tributaries, especially .McKay and j H.reh creeks, should be protected by the government in Bl owing them to irrigate their lands. It is a well known fact that Irrigation on land tributary to the upper waters of a stream provides more water for use by the users on the lower part of the stream during the extremely dry parts of the summer awd in a manner acts as a secondary reservoir to hold back the flood wates for use when most needed. We urge and recommend that the vested rights and welfare of the old pioneer settlers and land owners above the government projects, trib utary to said Umatilia river, be pro tected and subserved by the govern ment in its reclamation work.
