A report from the supervising en
gineer In charge of the Umatilla Ir
rigation project Oregon, states that
the Cold Springs reservoir now con
tains about 40,000 acre feet of water.
The maximum Quantity carried awav
last year was 27,000 acre feet - It
Makes the food of maximum
quality at minimum cost I
is proposed to fill, the reservoir to a
capacity of 43,000 or 44,000 acre feet
which will bring the water to with
in three of four feet of the maxi
mum high water line.- Tbe entire
system Is In a satisfactory working
condition and settlement Is proceed
ing rapidly. Large areas of land
are being cleared, buildings are go
ing up In every direction and a very
desirable class of settlers Is secur
ing land. At, the present rate at
which ! the patented linda are being
disposed of it Is doubtful If any will
remain for sale at the end of a few
months. These lands are being sold
in tracts of 20 to 40 acres at $200 per
acre and upward. " , '
The government has expended to
date about $1,250,000 on this project.
The aggregate value of lands under
the project may , be approximately
set at $5,000,000. At the time the
government entered the field It Is
estimated that the entire area would
not have brought more than $100,000
had it been possible to offer it for
sale.V The gross value of the project,
including lands, water . rights, Irri
gation works, buildings and , other
Improvements is : probably In the
neighborhood of $7,000,000. ;
