Satisfaction Every Time or ' Money Back Federal Aid Is Proposed to Extend Irrigation. Law Library Formally Pre sented to State School. LOCAL PLANS CRYSTALLIZE SPEAKERS PRAISE DONOR MEMORIAL BEHIND MIRY BILL UNIVERSITY O ,1 D ' o Tlilef River, Lower Powder and Balm Creek Projects Contem plated In Development "Work. BAKER. Or April II (Special.) At a meeting held here for the de velopment of the Thief river project, the lower Powaer irrigation district and the Balm creek Irrigation project, iiiore than 200 Baker county citizens voted to lobby for the McNary re clamation bill, now before congress, and to utilize every effort to place these local projects favorably before the reclamation service. Notwithstanding that there is more land under irrigation in Baker county than any county in the state, there is more land that. Is held capable of lr Titration than any of the other coun ties. At the meeting, it was decided that the plans for financing the proposi tion would be given to three members of the board of directors of the lower Powder irrigation district and six ap pointees of President Lottridge of the local chamber of commerce. McXary Bill Hit Chance. "The McNary bill, calling for an ap propriation of 1250.000.000, 'has a strong possibility of becoming a law," A. A. Smith, local delegate to the Western State Reclamation associa tion in Salt Lake and Boise, said, "and In my opinion the cause of Baker county solely depends upon its passage." He pointed out that the government! was only aiaposea to ikko noiu wi projects where a considerable portion of the iand to be reclaimed is govern ment land. The lower Powder project Is the only one in Baker county to meet this requirement. Mr. Smith recommended that defi nite action be taken immediately for the promotion of the movement, and .hat a fund should be provided to pay Icr the necessary expenses that would be incurred. C. C. Fisher. United States engineer for the reclamation service, addressed the meeting, stating that through his work on the proposed lands for reclamation, he would say that of the two units. Thief valley and Balm creek, it probably would be necessary to make a more complete survey of roh conditions, and their classifica tion should be periodical. Coat Woo Id Be Considerable. Based on a comparison with other projects, he estimated the cost to be (110 to $115 an acre, but added this f g-ure should not be considered so high as to hold back the promotion or construction of the project. The territory in the lower Powder river project included 8000 acres, now under cultivation, with water avail able, and 60.009 acres uncultivated. Of this acreage. 40.000 acres are govern ment, or undeeded land. It has been withdrawn, from location under the Cary act. Surveys have been made classifying 40 representative acres of this land. This was done to estimate the quan tity of each' tract that can be irri gated, eliminating land that is too high for water. The Thief valley reservoir will store 140.000 acre feet of water and the Balm creek reservoir will store sufficient water to irrigate 20,000 acres, according to the surveys that have been made. Millions Are Involved. The cost of these two projects has neen placed between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000. although it was pointed out that construction cost will vary with material and labor scales. It was indicated that the completion cf the reclamation plan, would open ilOO new farms, supporting about the same number of families. Th? 5000 people would be added to Baker City, aJ a prediction made at the meeting, if the contemplated movement is suc cessful. I was held that the big problem at his time, which Baker is facing, is tne bringing of the project before the reclamation service, in such a favor able manner, that the undertaking will be given the approval of the service. It would then be in line for development as funds are placed at the disposal of the reclamation board. It was with the view that immedi ate action was necessary, that the ap pointment of a committee, comprised of three directors of the lower Powder river district and six. other members to be appointed by President Lott ridge, of the Baker County Chamber! of Commerce, was made for the col lection of a $10,000 fund, to promote the movement. It is the general opinion that the people of Baker county, generally are behind the movement and many, have made liberal offers of aid in financing ;ho project to the limit.
