T h e la-glslature took the matter up and passed a bill appro priating $450,000 p ro vidin g fo r a genera l r e construction o f the project by the slate, the Mesert Land Hoard to d i rect the work, appoint a p ro ject e n gineer, readjust existin g water rights, establish new Hens op both unsold and con tra cted lands.

T h e $450,- oou was to draw Interest at 6 per cent. Invest igations showed that It was necessary to reconstruct th e d iv e r sion dam on Tutualo creek to d ivert water into the feed cana l; the canal was to be rebuilt, and th ere being Insufficient flow of w ater In the stream. It was decided to construct a storag e reservoir f o r which an ad ditional 1.400 acres o f land must be purchased T h is would leave about f 100,000 f o r the actual com pletion o f the distribution and lateral system on an estim ated reclamation o f 22.- 300 acres.

Then on June 3. the day the new law be came effective, L . H McMahon, a Salem law yer, brought an Injunction suit to restrain the Secretary o f State and State T reasurer from pay ing \ n y money out o f the fund. T h e Injunction was denied and the board went on w ith the work, after the con test had gone to the Supreme Court and had been finally disposed of. Hecause o f the exigencies o f t h » situation and the short period re maining o f the 1913 season, all effort was concentrated on the reconstruc tion o f the feed canal, as the old main canal was in a dangerous con di tion and m ‘ ght break at any time, ait'l because the construction o f the r< e rv o lr dam was delayed by diffi culty In securing rlghl-of-way. Be sides this, it was lmjH>ssible to lay out the distributing system until con tracts fo r water righ ts had been signed up with actual settlers. T h e feed canal has been put In shape f o r use during the season o f 1914 at a total cost o f $107,000, and there are at the present tim e a p p li cations In the office o f the pro ject engineer sufficient to guar an te e the sale o f all the uncontracted lands under the project. During the 1913 season a total o f 3,511 acres we re under water f o r which a charge o f $ 1 an acre was made. In closing his report. P r o j e c t E n gin eer l^ u r e g a a r d says he doubts the feasibility o f the state c arry in g out reclamation projects by a system o f direct taxation. He fav ors close co operation between the state and the federal g overn m ent and urges im mediate action whereby the state can devise some new method o f raising the money needed for developm ent work. He recommends that futur e reclamation work be directe d by one state official or by a com mission o f three members consisting o f a r e p resentative o f the state, a representa tiv e o f the Department o f th e In te r ior or the R eclamat ion Service o f the Governm ent, and a third m em ber who shall be a man o f technical trainin g in this par ticular Held o f work and w h o shall be the secretary o f the R eclamat ion Commission and ac tive m anager o f all projects.
