History and Development of Warm Springs Irrigation District The Warm Springs Irrigation District, organized in 1916, Is located In Malheur County. Central KaBtern Oregon, and is comprised of 29,000 irrigable acres. It Is about 600 milea east of Portland, Oregon, 100 miles east of Pendleton, Oregon, and 60 milea west of Boise, Idaho. The popula tion of the IMstrict Is estimated at 4000, which includes that of the cities of Vale and Ontario within and adjacent to the District, though excluded therefrom. Vale la the county beat of Alallieur County, and the headciuar tera of the District are located there. Vale and Ontario, which were in corporated In li and lsa, respectively. EACH have two banks with an aggregate capital of $235,000 and total resources on January 1, 1818, of J,a30,aa0. The 191 assessed valuation of said two cities is tl,lel,7i2. Ontario Is on the main line of Use Oregon Short. Line Division of the Union Pacific System from Omaha to Portland, and the entire District is traversed by a lCU-mlle branch line running from Ontario to Crane In llarney County. The $1,350,000 6 bonds have been sold by the above District to enable it to acquire a reservoir site and to construct a dam to impound about 170,000 acre feet of the flood waters of the Malheur Kiver and also to enlarge and extend the existing canal system. The construction of ths dam six miles from Riverside Station bas been completed and It is estimated that the distribution system will be prac tically complete by December 1, 1919. The sluraga ot" 170, Ouo acre leet of flood waters of the, above river will complete the supply to 12,000 acres of land that have been In the past partially irrigated and will make available a full supuv for a total of 40.000 acres, which is in fact 11.000 acres more than the irrigable areas now within the boundaries of the District. Additional irrigable areas are available for the application of this surplus stored water and the formali ties of providing tor the use of said surplus waters are now being arranged. The construction of the dam and works has been done by the Shattuck Edinger Company of Portland, San Francisco and Lxs Angeles, and, for speed, the completion of the dam is unparalleled for a similar structure. The practice of Irrigation In this section dates back to the early 'SOa. Thus, the susceptibility of the soil to irrigation, its fertility and the productive value of the land are matters of history and not theory or expectancy. STAPLE CROPS PREDOMINATE, such as wheat, barley and alfalfa. A very conservative estimate of average per acre yields for which the soli is capable is 36 bushels of wheat, 66 bushels of barley and 7 tons of alfalfa. It is believed that the average gross value of the crops grown during 11)17, 1918 and 1919 on land representing only 40 of the entire District will exceed t&Ou.uOO. The winter feeding in the District of large numbers of cattle and sheep contributes materially to the farming reve nues which the property owners derive. tTnder the Irritation District lw of Oregon the banded Indebtedness of those districts which have been certified as above Is limited to 60 ef the acsrreKate market value of the lands within a district, and of the water, water riahta, canals, reservoirs, reservoir site aae other irrigation works owned or to be acquired or constructed The principal and Interest of the bonds are, by law, "paid by the revenue derived from the annual assessments upon the land in the District, and all the lands In the Dis trict shall be and remain liable to the assessed lor such pa men is as herein provided, and under and subject to the provision of thla Act," Xhe lies of the tax ranks AU1A1 ot that ul all lirst mortaases. . v The law provides that the Hoard of Directors of the District shall certify the equal tzed assessment roll of tha District to the rOlXTT ASSESSOR, whereupon the Countv Assessor enters same Uon the ( Oi;NTV aetsmeut roll In the same manner that municipal SMewneato are entered by him on said assessment roll, ftirh tax is collected and accounted fur IN XILK bAMli 41AtB Aa AIOICII'AL TAXt-s. and the collection thereof enforced la tne same manner as the other taxes of the county.
