(Concluded.)
steps looking towards the construction
of reservoirs in our own state and
other western states, it must be re­
membered that for the next few years
at least its entire attention and all
money available for that purpose will
be used in the construction of reser­
voirs on a large scale; too large for
individual, corporate and district en­
terprises. Then, the irrigation dis
tvicts can construct the small reser­
voirs of, say. from a few thousand to
a few hundred thousand dollars capi­
tal. All will have to bear the propor­
tionate share of the burdens and every­
man's land will stand its proportion
ate share of the tax. In this way no
money will go to water speculators,
and all will receive water at actual
cost.
The national laws should be amend­
ed c» that if within one of these dis
...cis lucre are a few farms here and
tnere upon which final proof has not
been made, or government land which
has not been entered, any bonds giv­
en by such district may become a
lien utxni that land the same as upor
patented lands. The government ha-
•u<. n a law so far as applies to land
taken up under any of its reservoir
sites and which may rely exclusive­
ly upon its supply from reservoirs
and dams constructed by the govern­
ment, but it has no law applicable tc
lands which may be public lands and
within the boundaries of an irrigation
d.strict not depending upon the gov­
ernment for the water supply.
Will Economize Water.
To illustrate the advantages which
the irrigation district system may-
have over the present conditions let
us take one valley, for example, of say
fifteen farmers. Let us assume that
tnose fifteen farmers own in the ag­
gregate twenty-four hundred acres
to properly irrigate the twenty-four
hundred acres, if the water is prop­
erly distributed, it is safe to say that
the entire acreage could properly be
irrigated by a constant flow of six­
teen hundred inches of water. Ir
fact. I think twelve hundred inches
would do it- In considering this it
should be remembered that the large"
the body of water the larger the pro­
portionate number of acres that can
be irrigated with that body of water
One inch might not irrigate one acre
but ten inches will easily irrigate ten
acres, while one hundred inches will
easily irrigate one hundred and fifty
acres and so on in proportion.
Under district ownership we are
safe in assuming that sixteen hun­
dred inches would irrigate the twenty-
four hundred acres, if distributed
pro rata and under charge of compe­
tent water superintendents, who would
see that no man was using it when
not needed, and that when being used
none is wasted.
Present System No System at All.
Now let us suppose that the stream
flowing through this valley carries
sixteen hundred inches of water
Under the present status of affairs
the man who first settles upon the
stream settled at its mouth. As
strange as it may appear it will be
found on investigation that in nine
cases out of ten the lower end of the
valleys were settled first, and as the
country would settle up the popula­
tion would move towards the source
of the stream. The man who first
settled settled at the mouth of the
river, took up one hundred and aixty
acres and appropriated three hundred
inches of water. The one above him
took up one hundred and sixty acres
and appropriated three hundred inch­
es of water Another man moves in
from Wisconsin and takes up another
one hundred and sixty acres and ap­
propriates three hundred inches, an­
other comes from California and
takes up one hundred and sixty acres
and appropriates three hundred Inches
of water; and another moves in from
Arkansas and he takes up one hun­
dred and sixty acres and appropriates
three hundred inches of water, while
still another comes in and he takes
up an eighty acre tract and appro­
priates one hundred inches of water.
The Irrepressible Conflict.
Here we have six farmers owning
880 acres of land with the entire
stream appropriated. The remaining
district. The district, by condemns
tion proceedings, if found necessary,
will become the entire owner of the
water supply. Under proper regula­
tions and under water superintend­
ents and ditch bosses it will be found
that the lower settlers on the stream
can be supplied by giving them the
water part of the lime in place of all
the time; that every man can receive
his pro rata and every farm be prop­
erly irrigated. As a result the dis­
trict will have fifteen prosperous
homes in place of six. The produc­
tiveness of the valley will be increased
threefold and the first six appropria-
tors not damaged at all, but on the
other hand, in many respects, will be
benefited.
I will venture to say that there are
none in this convention who live in
a neighborhood where crops are
raised by irrigation but can recall in­
stances where a man has been de­
creed by the court to be the owner of
a water right of a certain amount
who does not need the amount of
water decreed him by the court, yet
prevents others from using it, and
many may recall others who use more
water than they need and even injure
their crops unknowingly, and who do
so for the purpose of trying to hold
the entire amount of their appropria­
tion and prevent some neighbor,
against whom he may have a preju-

dice, from receiving any share of It.
Needs Not Always the Same.
It has also become a well settled
fact that lauds which may have ten
years ago required a given amount of
water for irrigation purposes, do not
need as much now. The longer lands
are irrigated, as a rule, the less the
amount of water required for its
proper irrigation. This is especially
true where sub-imgation is depended
upon, and generally the case under
all circumstances, with but few ex­
ceptions; but under present condi­
tions a man who was decreed two
hundred inches of water thirty years
ago is holding the same amount yet.
and if he can not use all to an ad­
vantage, he usually sees to it that
the other fellow does not use it.
These unfortunate conditions can all
be avoideu by the organization of Ir­
rigation districts.
Adjustment of Interests.
I have spoken thus far of irrigation
districts independent of the govern­
ment's aid in the construction of
reservoirs and other methods of sup­
plying water to consumers. Irriga­
tion districts when properly organ­
ized and managed under properly
framed laws, and I might here add.
by the way. that I believe there is
room for much improvement in the
irrigation district law of our state;
but irrigation district laws, when
properly framed and properly in force
will. I think, eventually be the soln
tiou and result in the adjustment of
the many difficulties that will arise
between the government and the set
tiers on the stream. The irrigation
district can condemn the private
rights which the settlers may hold
and which they may not see fit to sur­
render to the government. It will
thus eliminate the difficulties which
may arise by reason of riparian set­
tlers being located upon a stream
which the government may want to
utilize, and when the government
shall have constructed its reservoirs
and have the means of distribution
complete and ready to turn over to
the settlers under the dams and on
the streams, the entire settlement
under such reservoirs
whether the
system reaches but one valley or be
so extensive as to cover numerous
sixteen hundred acres of land in the
valley are left without settlements
and without water. Later other peo­
ple settle above on the stream and
attempt to appropriate the water
The first six persons enjoin toem. go
to court, prove their prior appropria­
tions. prove that every acre of land
which they have, needs an inch and
a half to the acre, and that they ap-
iropriated that amount and the court
enters a decree accordingly. Those
above are left without water and their
'and is worthless. At times each of
the first six settlers upon the stream
use all that he may have appropriat­
'd: at other times it is running to
waste. Had the first six settlers set­
tled at the head of the stream, then
part of the time none of them would
lave been using the water, and all
the surplus would flow to the settlers
below who could have appropriated
the surplus; but being at the mouth
of the stream it is left to them to de­
termine whether all is necessary or
not. and as a result, in nearly every
instance it will be found that the
water is constantly demanded and the
people above will be left without the
proper water supply for irrigation
inrposes.
To Bring Order Out of Chaos.
On the other hand let us assume
that the valley of fifteen farmers
should be organized into an irrigation
valleys adjoining, should be organ­
ized into one great district.
The
nstrict can then guarantee the pay
•went of the bonds to the government
The reservoir site with all the rights
that the government may have, may
be patented to the district and the
people of the district thereby become
owners in common, not only of its
great canals and numerous laterals
therefrom to the various farms but
dams and reservoir sites and the en­
tire source of the water supply, as
well, and own his farm as he owns it
today.
Common Rights and Common Owners
Each man may own the ditches upon
his farm and distribute the water ac­
cordingly to his own notion when de
iivered to his place by the employes of
the district, yet the entire community,
whether it consists of one valley or
numerous valleys, so long as withir.
the boundaries of the district, will
all be owners in common of the water
supply with which their farms may
be irrigated.
We will thus eliminate the friction
so often arising between two owners
of water rights. The question as to
whether the doctrine of riparian
ownership or prior
appropriation
shall be immaterial. Al] will be mut­
ually benefited and it will prove to be
not only a great step towards the so-
ution of water litigation but the re­
sources. productiveness of the soil
and population of the arid lands of
our state will be increased propor­
tionately.

Wheat is quoted at the mill at 64
to 65 rents, with little doing. The re-1
ported heavy buy. in fact, ha* extend
ed over a period of some weeks and
the amount purchased at any one time
ha* not been worthy of notice a* a
big movement. Altogether, during
the past month or six weks the
mills have purchased something like
150.000 bushels. Other market feat
ures are dull. The holiday trade is
expected to be heavy this year, ow­
ing to the good prices for crop*, and
the heavy demand for supplies from
the interior, on account of the excel­
lent conditions of the roads. So far
this fall, the movement of flour, feed
and other supplies sent to the lnte-
rior has been very active. The Im-
portance of this city as a wholesale
trading point, for the merchants in
the Grant and Southern Umatilla
county town*, is becoming more and
more recognized and vastly more'
merchandise has been into that cobn-
try this fall than ever before.
