KANES CREEK ITEMS. 1 Ninety Per Cent of the Land Owners Interviewed In Central Point Dis trict Declare Themselves In Favor of Irrigation. l no uoguo luvor cnnal company Iiab mado nu extensive canvass this wook among tho land owners near Central Point. Goorpo K. lloos, rep resentative of tho company, has ln tervlowed many o thorn and it nn pears thnl Irrigation Is awakening a widespread lntoresl In that district. Up to dalo r9 land owners have been Interviewed and almost 90 por cent of them have declared them selves and have subscribed for the water for Irrigating their lands ad jacent to tho Hopkins canal and the proposed extension. Tho building of this canal depends upon the people, slnco tho undertaking Is ono of great expense, tho company desires the assurance of tho uso of tho water bc foro constructing tho canal, agreeing that the work will begin as soon as it has been demonstrated to them that tho land owners dcslro tho water. Mr. Doos reports that In hts con versations with tho people ho en counters many perplexing queries to answer. It appears everybody has heard and rend of tho many advan tages of Irrigation and. while "I reckon" tho good pcoplo there aro not all from Missouri, they do want to know (show me) and as above stated 90 per cent of thoso Inter vlowed have signed the petition, and now the great question with them Is "How soon can we get It?" Many arc yet to be seen before the time can bo set when the water will bo turned on. Mr. Doos will stay in tho field until all have signed up, feeling that the good of his work will only requiro a few seasons to demonstrate to the community that water is king and tho owner of a farm without a water right will be looking In vain for a buyer, the other will not want to sell. That tho government has expended approximately $G7,000.000 In irrlga tipu work, and this vast sum is less than half of tho amount that will be expended when Uncle Sam's engi neers have completed tho present pro gram, is an eyo opener to the arid land owner, who now realizes that tho land with a water right costing him but $50 an aero is an asset worth fiO per cent and in many cases worth nioro than the present value of his land. Wator rights In many locali ties in the states of Washington, Colorado, Utah, Montana and Cali fornia cost from $80 to $160 per ncrc, aro considered reasonable, tak ing into consideration the increaso of yield of crop per acre over the land that Is not Irrigated. This valley is fortunate, being blessed with an abundant watershed and storage, which is converted Into canals and carried upon tho lands by latcials at n price so much lower than Is the case In localities not so favornHy sit uated. But no doubt with tho in crease of tho land values the price now asked by the company for water oiiust Increase llkowlso, tho day will coma when such a water right will enhance threefold and more in Iloguc rlvor valley. CONFERENCE IN REGARD TO SCHOOL IS I'OlJTIiAND, Feb, 17.-A confer ence in to he held Tiicrtilny nuil Wed Jiuisdiiy in Anlilnnd between tho trus tee of tho old Bishop Scott academy mid citizens of that thriving Kouthern Oregon town, it t which tho latter will submit to tho trustees a proposition for thu opening of tho academy in Abhliuid.
