TO IRRIGATE WEST OF TOWN Idaho irrigation promotion experts have employed former Sheriff W. J. Culver, of Salem, to suvey two feasible irrigation canal routes from above Stayton to the big flat west of this city, situate between Marion and Turner. James Withycombe, profes sor at the Oregon Agricultural College, recently pronounced this tract of farm ing area “ the best in the Willamette valley, and this means the best in the United States and the World,” Civil Engineer Culver, with two level- men, arrived here the weekend and for several days ran lines and took field measurements in and about Stayton with the end in view of conducting a large volume of water from the San- tiam river thru canals to the locality mentioned. This land is exceedingly fertile, and usually well moistened by abundant rainfall, but almost annually in July and August there is insufficient moisture in the soil to insure large crop yields. It is to more fully develop these thousands of fertile acres that the sur vey is being made. It is the expectation that work will commence the minute the surveys have beer, completed and all necessary pre liminary formalities have been perfect ed. Several projects, or means to the desired end, are now being considered. At present, there are two large ditches which deliver water from the Santiam thru Stayton. The canal near est the river furnishes water and power to the Stayton waterworks, Stayton electric light plant, Stayton flouring mill, Stayton excelsior factory, Stayton chair factory, Stayton woolen mill and -other smaller industries; the cabal far thest from the river, with its intake about 400 feet further upstream than that of the Stayton ditch, supplies water by way of Mill creek to the Salem ffouring mill near Stayton, be sides the minor manufactories. Alt of the water passing thru the Salem ditch goes on to Salem, and is not otherwise usable in this vicinity, but the water in the Stayton ditch, after being utilized by the local in dustries, and a laundry, passes into a tail race and thence back into the river just below town. The irrigation pro moters make no bones about telling just what they want to accomplish. Foremost in their ideas is a further utilization of water from the Stayton ditch, after it passes into the tail race. There, before re-entry into the river, it could again be taken up by a second ary canal and transported on to the ir rigable area, and this will be done pro vided a satisfactory arrangemena can be made with the owners of the Stay- ton ditch. Otherwise, a high line canal will be built along Fern Ridge, north of Stayton, to the district to be irrigat ed below, but at a slightly greater cost. In any event, the canal will be built —this summer, probabiy. SILVER CREEK FALLS. It was springtime in the mountains, And the moon was shining bright, The Silver creek was silent and the dew was sparkling white. Thru the quiet woods and meadows Two lovers strolled alone, And as they stopped to listen They heard the falls sweet tone. Now the same old falls are roaring, And the stars are shining bright. As down the lane two lovers strolled That clear and pretty night. They wandered beside the stream so sparkling, That flows ’neath the rocky walls, And heard the crickets chirping Down by the Silver Creek Falls. Name Your Farm. Thruout this part of Oregon there are many farms, dairies and orchards which are not named, and The Mail believes it is just as important to have names for the farms as for any business.
