Takes Columbia Southern
From Under Carey Act
A Salem dispatch dated the 16th
says: Sometime In the coming week
there will be introduced In the house
probably by one o f the members of
- the house Irrigation committee, a bill
to appropriate 9500,000 In state
funds to carry to completion the big
Irrigation project known aa the Co
lumbia Southern project.
This bill haa already been drawn
up and Is only awaiting the proper
time for Ha Introduction. I f adopt
ed, It would put Into effect the moat
far reaching reclamation program
ever attempted In this state.
The bill la Intended aa a state sub
stitute for the Carey act, the work
ing o f which under federal supervis
ion waa ao bitterly condemned at the
recent Irrigation congreaa In Port
land.
It would bring relief to up
ward o f 1000 settlers who died on
the land under the terms o f the Car
ey art, but have been unable to get
water, and open the way for the
! coming o f many others.
Under Ha provisions the state
would advance at once the money
needed and the state water board,
created In 190#. would finish the rec
lamation of both the landa Included
