II. Bogus, who brought him to Klamath Falls. lining greatly Interested In all such developments, he stopped at Prlnevlllo for several days to Inspect the new Irrigation system being con structed there on the district Irriga tion plan. He says it Is one of the finest pieces of work In the state, the can als to cover about 26,00 acres, are all completed, coniderable portions of them being cement lined and heavy embankmonts ot massive hand placed rock. The great dam Is 16 feat high, which Is to impound the waterr ot the? Ochoco is so far along that Its com pletion Is assured by next Match. The lands under the system will be practically all under cultivation next season, a most remarkable accom plishment, and he looks tor great prosperity for Prlneville as a result. The syBtam will cost one million dol lars and the water rights $43 Per acre, with very reasonable annual maintenance charges. He also looked over the new 18 mile railroad project being put In by the city of Prlneville to connect It wlthJhe Hll and Harrman lines near Red Hon d. The city started out to build the line with an issue of $100,000 of bonds besides considerable donations, free right of way, etc. It has since Toted a second like amount and is about to vote still another $50,000, all of which is spent without purchas ing any rails or equipment, alt ho there are no such construction diffi culties as are encountered on , our 'Klamath Falls line. The rails are leased from the connecting lines and some other provision Is to be made work yet remains to be done the pre sent expectation Is to celebrate the opening of the line within the next 0 days. Mr. Strahorn says that even with all the disapointments In the way of increased cost, etc., the enterprise will be amply justified by Its wonder ful beneft to the city and tributary country, and that the big irrigation enterprise could not have been fin anced without It. This alone is worth the total cost of the railroad, but ev en greater developments would fol low Its extension 'about 20 miles to ward the John Day country, which Is contemplated.
