On tho way to Ontario they stop ped to view tho reservoir of tho Warmsprliigs Irrigation district and Hint v'iib tho thing Hint Impressed them most on tho trip. "Tho grandest sight In Kastern Oregon today is tho big mnsonry wall thiil holds back the water that will grow tho crops of tho lower Malheur valley," said Mr. Davidson. "Thoro In now behind that big ilam GO, 000 aero feet of water, so they told un, and more In coming in nil tho time. To tho north the hills nro covered with snow yet to melt nnd add Itn contents to tho reservoir's supply. "Thero will be nufflclenl water to Insuro tho cultivation of nil land de veloped under tho system thin yenr. Tho pcoplo of tho Wnrmsprlngs dis trict certainly can congratulate thcnmclvoB that they hnvo secured so great a supply of wnter for all time to como, "Thero linn been no let up In tho demand for range land, and whero our company had n oro than a mil lion acres at one tlmo now wo hnvc only 300,000 acres left On thin trip wo contracted for tho nnlo of several thousand ncrcs to stock men who have seen tho open ran go nn something that In past."

"In Minne sota, nnd North Dakota tho ranchers will not ho nhlo to produco much more than half a crop becauso they cannot nccurn men to work on the farms. The result In apparent: con tinued high prices for farm products and good returns for men In this Re gion whero ono aero of ground prop erly cultivated will ylold no heavily "Tho pcoplo of thin soctlon. It scorns to mo, should bo anxious to put more land under wator. for tlio returns will Justify It."
