Want John Day to Supply Added Wu I ters for Irrigation. Controversies related to the pro posed West End extension of .the Um atilla project as viewed from the an gle of a prominent officer of the Uma tilla Water Users' asoclatlon are re cited and commented upon In an elab orate letter to the La Grande Com mercial club. Few non-residents rea lize to what white heat the controver sy Is being waged and the appended excerptg touching upon the situation will be of general Interest locally: Stanfleld. Ore., January 2, To the La Grande Commercial Club: We un derstand that you have betm asked to adop a set of resolutions pertaining to the West Umatllld project. Some times men "go off half-cocked' take some action or adopt some course or policy without much Investigation or thought of what the result may be. Wo do not mean to suggest that your Intelligent body would probably act hastily or' carelessly in any Im portant matter. You will probably either take no action at all In regard to the WeBt Umatilla project and the protest that has gone forth against It from all parts of the Umatilla valley or else you will weigh carefully all the evidence and Investigate for your selves thoroughly and then render In telligent judgment. This West Umatilla project is a ser ious matter, one of the greatest prop ositions affecting the welfare and de velopment of Oregon. No other prop osition has so much dependent upon It unless It be the Panama canal. It Is therefore meet and proper that citi zens of Oregon act carefully and wise ly In the matter and make sure they are right before making recommendations. Certain facts are universally agreed to. Oregon has not had justice in the matter of the distribution of reclama tion fund loans; The lands In the proposed West Umatilla project are of such character and the climate is so favorable as to make this project nnd the greater John Day project, Immediately adjacent, the most desirable of all project's the United States has ever considered. There is dissent., however, as to the method of providing the water for the Irrigation of the lands In the West Umatilla project, .Men who have ,had thirty years ex perience in Irrigating right here in tho Umatilla valley, know that there Is not sufficient available water in the Umatilla river and Its tributaries to warrant the construction of tlib pro posed project along the present plans of t.'.ie United States reclamation ser vice. The water rights of the Umatilla system 'have never been adjudicated yet. although the entire matter is In tho courts at the present time; nec essarily many of, the premises In the statements of the reclamation service and hopes of other interested parties that there Is sufficient surplus waters for tho West Umatilla project are based on mere "assumptions'" of tho United States reclamation service. The Hondo project In New Mexico, was built at a cost to the government of $:;.V.),000 upon the assuming of the reclamation service, and although It was completed in 1U0G, there has nev er been a single urop of water for storage In the expensive reservoir, and farmers and homesteaders who bought lands ar heavy losers. There Is danger in acting on the "assuming" of anybody, even though it ho the United States reclamation ser vice. The official report of the United States board of army engineers, made to congress January 6, 1911, which re port Is available to you upon your ap plication for it, gives on pages 111 to 116 Inclusive, statistics which prove absolutely this contention as to Insuf ficiency of water from the Umatilla river, and a half .hour's study will make It clear to anyone. The minimum discharge of the river is the greaVst amount that can he depended on for Irrigation use. Otherwise, in dry years, some lauds would have no wa ter at all. Tho present plan for the West Uma tilla project, which, is being opposed by every member of the Umatilla County Water Usera association, by the Umatilla County Farmers union, by commercial clubs not only of Uma tilla county, but of other parts of Eastern Oregon and by hundreds of our best businoss men and town cltl- No. 10 LotsO nnd 10. block 142.
