action will be taken on the pe
tition by the local body this
week.
Among the business men in
the city who are taking an
active part in the effort to bring
about a change of front in the
recent action of the interior de
pat tment, the minor has
gained ground that the filing
made by the reclamation ser
vice on the waters of the
Deschutes was run hand in
hand with the determination of
the Harriman system to keep a
competitive road from entering
so rich and productive a field
and one whose nianj' resources
are lying dormant. Already
imgation companies operating
in Uroolc county alone have
spent in excess of $1,000,000 in
reclaiming a state segregation
of land of nearly 300,000 acres
an'd theio are billions of feet of
merchantable limber in the
same district.
Further development than
that already made and the
settlement of the irricnted
tracts will remain practically
stationary until transportation
(acuities are established. The
move to provide means of trans
portation to the country has
been blocked and the Oregon
Trunk railroad, after making
complete surveys, securing
right of way over all but gov-
tM nment land and actually be
ginning construction or its
grade has been hold up pending
the action of thr interior de
partment and the reclamation
service on an experimental
project, a definite conclusion
on which may be delayed for a
period of five years.
Agitation over the peculiar
move of the reclamation service
was first stirred up at a meeting
of the Slate Irrigation nsBooin
tiou at Iiood River a month ago
at which time it was said in so
many words that the appropri
ation of the waters of the Des
chutes river for the purpose of
building dania to generate
electricity with which n pump-
