IRRIGATORS HOLD MEETING
Congress Clear Way For Mllliona In
Added Wealth
Portland. With unusual record of I
sccomiiilsliment the Oregon Irrigation
congress closed lta second, annual let-;
ilon Saturday night
It elected William Hanley president,
and Asa B. Thompson of Echo, C. C.
Chapman of Portland and M. L. Lee
of Canby vice presidents. J. T. Hlnkle
of HermiBton was unanimously re- j
chosen secretary-treasurer. i
The congress recommended such !
changes and progress In reclamation j
matters as to bring from John 11. Lew- j
Is, state engineer, the opinion that. If !
recommendations are adopted by the
legislature, the state can straighten 1
out difficulties connected with re
claiming 1,000,000 acres of land In flvs
projects, at an approximate average
of $35 per acre, and thua Increasing
land value, without speculative influ
ence to $60 an acre or a total of 160,
000,000 added worth to the state, giv
ing home room for 16,000 families.
This could be followed by an addition
al 1,000,000 acres of reclamation at
slightly greater difficulty, but with
equally valuable results.
