No detail was overlooked In the

This portion of tho trip occupied
all of Friday and In this party thero
woro besldo tho officials Alroady
mentioned, tho following Ontario
men: Mayor W. II. Doollttlo, R. W.
Jones, B. A. Frasor, P. J. Gallagher,
P. n. Emlson, T. W. Clagott, W. J.
Plnnoy, B. M. Grolg and n. W. Pow
ers. On Saturday tho officials accom
panied by Messrs. Doollttlo, Oalla
ghor and Plnney mado the trip to
Jordan Valley and tlionco to tho
Duncan's Ferry site of the dam for
tho storngo reservoir, returning to
Nanipa and Ontario on Sunday.
An KnlrRCl Project
One thing that developed during
tho course of tho trip was tho
fact that the engineers are now
working on a very much enlarged
projoct. one that when completed
will enbrace 135,000 acres, covering
not only tho lands In the original
Owyhee Project whlth Included
Doad Ox Flat but also the Gem
District or Idaho and other lands
on tho Idaho side.
Two Arrowrocks
To accomplish this gigantic pro
ject will require the construction of
two dams each of which will bo as
high ob the famous Arrowrock dam,
though not bo wide.
Doth dam sites aro deemed Ideal,
being situated In canyons whoso
perpendicular walls of basaltic rock
are only 150 reel apart at the tops.
The construction of these high
dams however Is not the sole en
gineering feature that la new, for
the present plana call for tho con
struction of four miles of tunnels
from the diversion dam, which while
expensive Is justified In their esti
mation by the fact that It permits
of increasing the acreage so mater
ially thot the per acre cpst will
actually be deduced.
By thQ construction of tlw high
dams, too, the water will tw taken
out at tho 2560 elevation thus cov
ering all the bench Usis possible
both north and south of tho Malheur
and all of the lands of the Gem and
adjacent regions In Idaho.
