Gold Hill to Vote
On Irrigation Bonds
One of the most Important steps
looking towards local development
was taken this last week when the
two sets of managers of the Gold
Hill-Grants Pass Irrigation districts
decided to call an election upon the
question of voting bonds for the pur
pose of construction of their respec
tive Irrigation projects. The pro
tracted dry season of the present year
with a deficiency of rainfall for sev
'eral years past, have been an Im
petus to bring this move about. ,

By extending the Gold Hill project
and uniting the two systems the)
cost of the Grants Pass projects es
timates have been reduced from $78
to $50 per acre, while the Gold Hill
project from $60 to $50 per acre.
The Grants Pass district will vote
$290,000 bonds, with Gold Hill $60,
000 for Immediate construction of
this extensive Irrigation system.
The canal will be 33 miles long,
which will place nearly 10,000 acres
In the Grants Pass district, and 5,
000 acres In the Gold Hill district
under intensive cultivation through,
irrigation. The water will he taken
from the south side of Rogue river
three miles above Gold Hill Into a
canal high and large enough to serve
both district, including the north side
of the river and Jerome prairie, In
the Grants Pass district.
This means that the co-operation
ability of the several sections bor
dering the river for 20 miles have
been brought behind one system,
greatly increasing the chance of suc
cess and reducing the cost of con
struction. The Gold Hill district election for
voting the bonds will be held October
1. The members of the Gold Hill
district managers consist of George)
B. Aldon, chairman; F. D. Etonian,
and C. It., Boyd, and Charles P.
