Information which reacbe Washington indicsite that tha reclamation service may yet have an opportunity to irrigate in the Deschutea valley in Eastern Oregon. At the time the national irrigation law wa passed the reclamation aervice wa anxious to build an irrigation aervice along the Deschutes, but found that private enterprise had entered the field and wa already operating or preparing to otwrate under the Carey act. Had it not been for thi fact, the govern ment would today be completing an ir rigation system that would irrigate far more' land in the Deschutes than will ever b reclaimed by private enter prise, and would probably have been able to turn the water into the canal not later than the coming fall or win ter. If private capital should decide to withdraw from the Deschutes valley, the governmeat would be very glad to enter that field, buy up what work have already been constructed, and enter upon the irrigation of a much larger area than ia now internded to be reclaimed. But the government ia not going to make any advance. Nor will it pay fancy price for such work aa have been constructed by private capital. The situation in the Deschutes coun try i. not altogether similar to that in Klamath basin. In the Deschutea, so far aa known, the community is satis fied to have it land irrigated by pri vate capital, notwithstanding private capital will reclaim only the cream, and leave forever barren a large tract that would be irrigated by the govern ment. In the Klamath basin public sentiment ia a unit in favor of govern ment as against private irrigation. This much ia to be said: it private capital goea ahead and completes its ir rigation system according to preeeni plana, tbe government will never go in and reclaim tne outstanding lanas. Private interest are promising to irri gate only land, which can be watered at a minimum coat; the government ill not follow and undertake to irri gate adjoining land where tbe cost will be excessive unless it can have the en tire field to itself. One of the prime object of government irrigation is to reclaim lands in large areas, comoining cheap with expensive work, so as lo make the average cost within uie reaca of the settler. The government i not taking up extremely expensive work.; it cannot afford to; it is only irrigating where it know, it can recover the expenditure. ered by many a the beginning of the war between the independent telephone line and the Pacific State line in Linn county.
