W. P. Davidson, president of the

pnny arrived In Ontario yesterday
from Prlnovlllo, having driven over
with tho company's representative In
Crook county, It, F, Johnson.
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

and more In coming in nil tho time.
To tho north the hills nro covered
with snow yet to melt nnd add Itn

Tho pcoplo of tho Wnrmsprlngs dis

thcnmclvoB that they hnvo secured so
great a supply of wnter for all time

"Thero linn been no let up In tho

only 300,000 acres left On thin

According to Mr. Davidson's ol
nervations tho country Just now Is

situation nn the farms. "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

"Tho pcoplo of thin soctlon. It

Mr. Davidson will leavo tomorrow
