Western Oregon Suffers CritlrUui
From Government Agents.
An Oregonian news bureau report
from Washington, P. C, says of Irri
gation In Western Oregon, which may
also be fully applied to the Grande
Ronde valley:
"Until the farmers of Western Ore
gon abundon the agricultural methods j
of the past generation, and turn to ln
tenslv farming, with rotation of crops;
until the 20 and 40-acre farm super
sedes the rancb of ten times that size,
and until modern methods of Irriga
tion and cultivation are practiced gen
erally throughout the Willamette,
Rogue River and Umpqua valleys,
Oregon will continue a victim of pre
vailing high prices, and her most
promising agricultural region will fall
as It has in the past to meet even the
demands of the local market. A change
from old to new, with the general
practice of Irrigation, however, will
double, If not. treble, the output of
these three valleys and greatly relieve
existing conditions."
This is the message conveyed In a
report just Issued by the United Slates
Department of Agriculture, giving the
result of three years' Investigations of
irrigation posslbllltes In Western Ore
gon, coupled with a study of the
causes that contribute to the agricul
tural backwardness of the whole of
Western Oregon.
Economic Problem Serious.
The report is written by A. P. Stov
er, who had charge of Irrigation Inves
tigations in the Willamette Valley.
The conclusion of the report deala
boldly with conditions as they exist
.oday, and is so forcefully worded as
to command serious consideration.
The concluding paragraphs read as
follows:
"As the result of a widespread cam
paign of education and advertisement
Western Oregon is experiencing today
one of the greatest eras of growth and
riovplnnmant It. has ever known, From
all over the union men are coming
to this region to locate and invest
their capital. Along commercial and
Industrial lines the development is
very great Indeed. Along agricultur
al lines there is much Investment and
speculation, but on the whole, little
real development Is taking place out
side of a few specially favored locali
ties. "This backwardness of the actual
development of the agricultural indus
try constitutes one of the tnost serious
economic problems confronting West
ern Oregon. This region is essential
ly and pre-eminently an agricultural
one, and the chief supporting industry
will always be agriculture; yet sub
stantial development along this line Is
falling far behind the development
along commercial lines, and as a re
suit an abnormal condition is rapidly
being created. The cities and towns
are growing rapidly, their population
Is Increasing, but the farming Indus
try that Is to support this growth of
the cities and towns in making Blow
progress.

Mr. Currey returned this morn Ins

Intense; fires burned on. three Bid '

Mr. Currey discredits the report in
the Spokesman Review that the men
fought with women and children to get
on the trains that were carrying the
people to Spokane, and safety. With
their homes being burned, the city ap
parently doomed, and an enormous
crowd at the depot, the trains were
loaded with extreme dispatch and en
tirely free from disorder.-
The secenes pertaining to the des

zone, with the happy thought that his
