Sold by all dxuglU, Valley Irrigation Company is- of great importance to Baker County and Ka st ern Oregon, not only because oi the precedent It establishes but because It means that the Thief Valle7 project will be rushed to completion by Evans Almtral promoters, who are ready to spend 14.000,000 in putting water on the land. The ease first came up before the pub lic a couple of years ago when F. A. Jacobs was attempting to build an elec tric line from Baker to Eagle Valley. Mr. Jacobs interested several Eastern cap italists, some of whom were Interested In irrigation projects and bad learned of the Thief Valley project. The Erans Almlral people of New York then sent an engineer here to look over the land and report on It. His report was fav orable and they decided to go ahead with the enterprise f they could obtain the water right. R. 8. Cooklngham and W. A. Thatcher, of Salem, also had their eyes on the proj ect and. being familiar with It before the Eastern Inventors -came, they filed on the water of Powder River where It flows through Thief Valley. Water Right Awarded. Th case next came before the State Water Board consisting of the State Engineer and the two Water Commis sioners. The Board said it would award th water right of th river to persons who obtained a contract with the Desert land Board for reclamation of the land. This contract was obtained by the Evans Almiral Interests and the State Water Board gave them the water right to the river. The Cooklngham-Thatcher Inter ests thereupon appealed the case to the Btat Circuit Court and Judg Galloway, of Marlon County, decided that they were entitled to the water right of the river, having filed upon It first. Now the Supreme Court of the state reverses the decisions of the lower court and holds that the Water Board can re fuse to grant a water right to any one, where such a grant would be detrimental to the publio welfare. This practically gives the Water Board full control In adjudicating the water rights of the state. The Evan-Almlral interests have In corporated the Powder Valley Irrigation Company, and plan to spend i.0.000 in developing the project and In putting water on the land. This protect will be the most modern and substantial of any In the West, the entire system of canal and pipes to be of concrete. There will be miles of concrete pipes and th only wooden part of the work will be bridges oyer the pipes. There will be no open canals but all the water will be taken out through the concrete pipes, thus preventing any overflow or escape of water. Dam 1 10 Feet Hlgb. The project derives its name from the fact that th water will be stored In Thief Valley. At the lower end of this valley the river passes through a deep gorge with high walla of rocks on each side, affording an excellent site for a dam. The dam will be of concrete and will be 110 feet high and E75 feet long on the crest. It will Impound 80.000 acre feet of water. The next step will be to have the Government withdraw perma nently the land embraced In the proj ect. The land was withdrawn tem porarily some time ago so that the sur veys could be made. As soon as the permanent withdrawal has been made, the company will be ready to proceed with the construction work. Already th company has spent more than $140,000 on the project, about half of this amount being for surveys, which are complete and show the project In ( detail. The whole project emoraces aoout 70.000 acres and of this amount persons who reside there have about 7000 acres under cultivation, leaving 63,000 acres for the company to irrigate. Balm Creek Work Is On. There are two parts to the project, part of the water being taken from Balm Creek and part from Powder Rivera There was no contest over the Balm Creek water and the company i goms ahead with that part of the work. It is estimated by O. A. Finkelnberg, engi neer In charge of the work, that the land will cost settlers about $100 an acre. The price may be a little above this or a llttl lower, but $100 la approximate. Those familiar with Irrigation works say that the price Is reasonable when they consider that all the laterals and pipes are made of -concrete. Over In Idaho projects heve been established and the ditches built of wood. The settlers have been required to pay a maintenance fee of about $150 an acre a year and in the course of 12 or 15 years have found that they had to go to the expense of re building the wooden lines. But on this project the maintenance fee will be about 10 cents an acre, and as the lines are constructed of concrete, they will never have to be rebuilt. This project will be of immense bene fit to Baker, aa It Is estimated that 2000 families will settle on the land and make their homes there. This means a community of about 10.000 people and Baker will be the natural supply point. It Is understood that an electric rail road will be built out to the land to afford transportation for product CLATSOP AND CXACKAMAS STREAMS IX EDICT. State Board Issncs Order to Slate All Conform With Colombia's Ban on Fishing. 6ALEM. Or.. March 8. Special) All the streams In Clatsop and Clackamas Coun ties are to be closed from March IB to May 1 by a ruling of the State Board this afternoon, the decision being such that the closed season on these streams will conform, after March 16, to the season on the Columbia River. The season on the Columbia River for salmon fishers closed March 1 to continue until May 1 and it was the original plan to close the Willamette from March IS to April IS. Considerable difficulty arose last year .v.. ,in.in, nr the Willamette, the river being closed after a fight. It was said that if the stream waa allowed to remain open it would be a breach of faith with the State of Washington. Under the ruling made by the Board for this year, not only the Willamette, but the Clackamas River In Clackamas County, th Young's River In Clata- County, and In fact all of th Clackamas and Clatsop County streams will be closed from March 15 to May 1. This adds 15 days to the original closed season for theee rivers, but still leaves them open 15 days longer than the Columbia. The Board assumed the aititude that It was the Intention of the law to close all of the streams In conformity with the closed season "n the Columbia, to keep faith with Washington.
