Considerable Progress Made
During June.
ACTIVHT IS IN SURVEYS
Unfavorable. Condition of Money
Market Holds fp Bond Issues
for Much of Work.
SALEM. Or.. July 17. (Special.)
louring the last month considerable,
progress has been made In irrigation
development in Oregon, notwithstand
ing the adverse condition of the bond
market However, most of the activ
ity has been along the line of investi
gations preliminary to the Issuance
of bonds.
Owing to the unfavorable condition
of the money market irrigation dis-
ifiv eneral have been urged to
withhold bond Issues until conditions
were more favorable, excepting in
those cases where construction work
Is in such condition that failure to
proceed would entail a loss.
Arrangements have been made
whereby bonds of the North Unit Irri
gation district in the amount of $50.
000 have been purchased by the Ralph
Schneeloch company of Portland for
the purpose of making a construc
tion survey and preparing plans for
the reclamation of the 100,000 acres
of land in the district.
Reaervolr Will Be BalJt.
The reclamation of th's project will
involve the construction of the Ben
ham Falls reservoir, upon which Pro
fessor W. O. Crosby, the noted geol
ogist of Massachusetts, recently made
a favorable report. It is planned
to utilize the Benham falls reservoir
for the reclamation of all the units
of the Deschutes project which aggre-
6ic uu.uuv acres.
The investigations will tn In riian..
of an engineering commissi on rnm.
posed of A. J. Wiley of Boise and Fred
nerman or ban Francisco, represent
ing jointly the district and the Ralph
Schneeloch company, the latter hav
ing an option on the remainder of the
district bonds.
Investigations are under wv tn
vise and bring up to date the infor
mation secured by the state and fed
eral government on the John Day
project. The John Day irrigation dis
trict was organized in 1919 and has
employed the firm of Lewis & Clark,
engineers of Portland, to make the
necessary surveys.
30O,O0 Acres In pistrict,.
This district includes some 300.000
acres of land lying along the Colum-
oia river in Gilliam county. Morrow
county-. and Umatilla county and is
one oi me largest projects in Oregon.
The officers of the district are r.i
C. Clark of Arlington, president, and
r. n. crown or Heppner, secretary.
j. no xiarney valley Irrigation dis
trict, which includes about 86.000
acres of partially irrigated land, lving
along the Silvies river in Harney
county, has arranged with the engi
neering firm of Barr & Cunningham
of Portland to make the necessary
surveys and prepare plans for the
construction of reservoirs on Silvies
river for the complete utilization of
the waters of this stream and to give
iuu water right to the partially irri
gated lands. Surveys are now under
way on this project.
An Investigation has been made
during the past month by the Irriga
tion securities commission of the
Mountain Sheep Irrigation district in
Wallowa county. This district con
templates the irrigation of .-.pproxi-mately
10,000 acres of land with the
waters of Big and Little Sheep creeks,
and action on the certification of
$150,000 in bonds Is awaiting the sub
mission of additional Information.
Lake County Survey Ordered.
An investigation has been ordered
by the irrigation securities commis
sion of the Summer Lake Irrigation
district In Lake county, which dis
trict contemplates the irrigation of
approximately 7000 acres of land
lying' along Summer lake, with the
waters of the Ana river. This district
has requested the certification of
$260,000 in bonds.
Very gratifying reports have been
received from the Warmsprings Irri
gation district, which has stored
52,000 acre feet of water this season
for the first time In Its new reservoir,
which, together with the regular flow
of the Malheur river affords ample
water for the irrigation of the 30,000
acres of land in the project, and re
ports indicate that crops will be ex
cellent this season.
One unit of the Talent irrigation
district in Jackson county has been
completed and water has been applied
to the lands thereunder. Work on
the second unit of this project has
been postponed for the present on ac
count of the unfavorable condition for
the sale of bonds. The district for
tunately is in a position that it could
suspend further construction without
adversely affecting it.
Josephine Panpi Completed.
The preliminary pumping units on
the Grants Pass irrigation district in
Josephine county have been completed
and water is being delivered to the
lands in this district. Plans have
been approved for the construction of
the permanent gravity system, and
work on this system is under way.
When the appropriations committee
of the house of representatives re
cently visited central Oregon an in
spection was made of the big Ochoco
dam which is now nearing completion.
At one end the big dam has reached
its maximum height of 125 feet and
requires only a small additional
amount of work to complete it
throughout its entire length.
About 20.000 acre feet of water has
been stored in the Ochoco reservoir
this season, and a large part of the
22,000 acres within the district has
been irrigated this season.
