f' ' . ' i . .;.
Judge George E. Davis, John Rig
by and Colonel R.G. Wheeler, who
made a trip to Brogan in the Davia
automobile, report that they have never
seen the Willow valley look as fine
as it does at present. On every side
the young trees in the numerous or
chards are growing fine and the vast
acreage of alfalfa look beautiful.
They also report that the Willis
peach orchard will ship at least a
carlord of fine peaches this year.
Among others who will also ship
fruit are Arnold Tschirgi, Schlottman,
and Emil Lanoir. Considering the
short time the trees have been plant
ed, the showing is wonderful.
Hugh O'Donnell has a two-year
old orchard which is a wonder Pear
trees show a growth of 5 inches al
ready this spring and look good for a
crop this season.
There is now 80 feet of water in
the big reservoir of the Willow River
irrigation project, the late rains hav
ing made quite a rush of water into
the big da.n. .

NEW DREWSEY CANAL WILL -PLACE
2400 ACRES OF
FINE LAND UNDER WATER
Contract For Construction Work to be Let at Once---Data
for State Engineer's Office is Compiled by
Vale Engineers Eighteen Miles of Canal to be
Constructed
That contracts are to be let at once
for the construction of between 17
and 18 miles of canal for the irriga
tion of 2400 acres of fine land near
Drewsey is the information brought to
town the fore part of the week by
Civil Engineers John E. Johnson and
Percy Johnson who have just complet
ed the survey of the canals as well
as data on the Drewsey Canal for the
State Engineer's office.
J According to Percy Johnson the pro
ject is being put in by Messrs. Wil
liams, and Davis and the Pacific Live
Stock Company, owners of vast tracts
of land in that section of the country.
Bids are to be called at once and it is
estimated that the job will keep 60
men at work during the 6 or 7 months.
The main canal will be 12 miles in
length and the branch canals will in
clude about 5 miles, the water being
taken right out of the Malheur river
and requires no dam work.
The Johnsons made the trip in an
automobile and stated that the roads
were rather bad in places. Percy
Johnson was driving the car and while
running over a grade on the Bendier
Mountain a big rock slid from the up
per side of the grade against the car
and broke a casting. It had to be
taken off and carried four miles to the
nearest place where it was fixed and
the trip resumed. Over the mountain
the road is rough and big boulders
make traveling for autos almost im
possible. SEYEN GOVERNORS CALL
