Presldenl William Hanley of the
Oregon Irrigation Congress, was In
Redmond this week and said that
one of Ihe most Important problems
to eonie before the Congress at their
meeting In Portland next week Is
'Mow to Finance the Individual Pro
jects In Different Localities and to
(live the Owners the Right to Install
Their Own Irrigation Plants.”
’ ’This Is a matter of utmost con
cern to us." explained Hanley, "and
one lhat needs the most careful con
sideration a( the coming convention
Some of us are in favor of having
the irrigation projects handled as
sort of district municipalities. That
Is the true principle back of Irriga
tion projects If they are to be suc
cessfully operated with the view to
the utmost economic development of
the district to be served. These dis
trict
municipalities
or
projects
should have the right to make (heir
own rules and regulations, so far as
their Inner workings are concerned.
Just aa a private corporation does.
They should be allowed to erect
their own plant and to do their own
collecting for the retirement of
bonds Just aa the elites do when they
Issue securities for public Improve
ments of whatever chsrscter.
"A n Irrigation project la nothing
more or less than a city water sya-
Laidlaw. Or., Feb. 2 — Wm. Han
ley. president of the Oregon Irriga
tion Congress, and J. W. Brewer,
secretary of the Central Oregon De
velopment league, are visiting here
today and being taken over the Tu-
malo Project work by O. Laure-
gaard, the project engineer. L. M
Foss, traveling freight and passenger
agent of the O.-W. R. A N. Co., is
also with them.
Preparations are being made to
start camps 5 and 6 with a force of
about 60 men and 16 teams Thurs
day morning. The work on the dam
will be pushed as vigorously as the
weather will permit. Fifty cents an
hour Is being paid for teams and
driver, they to furnish their own
feed for teams, and board Is furn
ished at $6.25 per week and $1.00 a
month hospital fee.
The third car of steel flume ma
terial has been received and Is be
ing delivered on the Project.
Under date of January 31 a dis
patch was sent from Washington
stating that Secretary Lane had al-
latted $472.916 of Oregon’s allot
ment of $1.220.135 under the recla
mation law for the co-operative pro
ject being carried to completion
jointly by the federal government
and the state of Oregon, and also to
cover cost of surveys in Central Ore
gon.
The above is taken to mean that
the government has made good Its
promise to the state to put up dollar
for dollar In the Tumalo Project and
will give as much as the state did—
$450.000.
Ry the appropriation of this sum
the whole Tumalo Project can now
be completed, which wlll extend the
irrigated land down below Cline
Falls.
