OUTLOOK NOT GOOD
Washington Must Wait for
Reclamation Work.
NEW- DIFFICULTIES ARISE
Porous Boll of Palouse May Make
Construction Too Costly Carey
Irrigators In the Way in
'- Yakima Valley.'
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May S. The prospect for early
.irrigation in Washington, is not bright,
as evidenced by the report of the Board
of Consulting Engineers whioh recently
examined the Palouse,' Okanogan and
Yakima projects. This report, re
ceived today, is not complete, hut t
shows that .none of the projects have
been sufficiently examined or devel
oped to determine their exact feasibil
ity, and further surveys will have to
be made before any project In Wash
ington can be adopted or rejected.
The Palouse project, heretofore re
garded as the most feasible in Wash
ington, Is developing features which
make it 'doubtful if the Government
can reasonably undertake its construc
tion. In additloff to the difficulties the
Government Is Slaving with the O. R.
& 2C. over the removal of Its. tracks
from Washtucna coulee, recent exam
inations' have shown that the ground
proposed to be traversed by canals or
occupied by storage works Is more or
less porous, and it is feared It will .not
hold water. It is anticipated that the
ptorage reservoir of this project would
have to be lined with cement, and
there is danger that the canals would
leak badly. However, further exam
inations will be "made to determine the
exact character of the underlying
ground and rock.
Brighter for Okanogan.
The outlook on the Okanogan project
1b more favorable than It has been
heretofore, though there is still doubt
whether there Is ample water for Gov
ernment purposes. Under this project
certain vested rlgnts must be acquired
by the Government before it can irri
gate, and this question, too, must be
further considered.
Not Room for Both.
Apparently there, is a' prospect of
Government irrigation In the Yakima
Valley, providing selections by the
state under the Carey act are rejected
by the Secretary' of the Interior. There
is not room in the valley for the Gov
ernment and Carey act irrigators too.
One or the other must withdraw. Pend
ing determination as to what action
will be taken on the state's selections,
it is Impossible to say what are thp
prospects along the TaklmsL River,
though it is certain that If the state
.selection Is approved the" Government
will not have an opportunity to Irri
gate Yakima lands.
Tne details of the report of the board
have not been made public, but the im
pression conveyed by a summary is that
there will likely be no Irrigation in
Washington in .the near future, or, if
at all. It must be in the Yakima Val
ley. Northwest Postal Changes.
