Umatilla. Or.. Sept. 17. To the
Editor of The Journal The govern
ment engineer are busy - In thla
vicinity making surreys, obeerva
tlone, etc, relative to the location
of a site for a atorage reservoir In the
foothills wherein to accumulate water
for use In irrigating.
I am not a prophet, neither the son of
a prophet y but I venture to say, let the
report of these engineer be what It
may, that Jt will be many years before
any of the land In Umatilla valley will
be brought under water through these
atorage reaervolra. It la well known
that our government moves' very slowly
in all of it undertakings, and I saxmlse
It will move slowly In these Innovations,
But aside from thla It aeema to me
that, at least In thla Instance, the pow
era are moving In the wrong direction
for, taking It the year through, there la
enough water flowing through the Una
tJUa river to water more, than they can
hope to Irrigate by the atorage reser
voir, etmply by the construction of ca
nala and the use of that water at flood
aeaaon.
Suppose a canal was taken out of the
Umatilla at Barnhart then run the ditch
around south of Echo, by Galloway and
on over the divide Into Columbia river
valley, near Coyote. Such a canal would
water about 200,000 acres, and there la
plenty of water for thla for eight
months In the year.
It 4a a-well known fart that a large
area of Umatilla meadowa and Butter
creek country 'la aerved by water for a
much shorter period of time than that
each year and yet the result on land
thua Irrigated la that apparently full
cropa are produced. At any rate four
bit aage brush land la thus made worth
from $100 to 1200 per acre, baSed on
Its yield of Alfalfa alone. Some of the
land on Butter Creek never has water
for more than two montha of the year
and yet yields full crops.
Some will aay that this excessive di
version of flood water would cause the
Umatilla to go dry, but In this connec
tion I desire to call the attention of
the reader to Bulletin 124. Issued by the
United States senate, giving the mes

Time was, when gold brought Ha thou

Francisco, California and 'Tha Coaat"
were aynonomou terms.
Later, Oregon declared her Independ
ence through dlsect rail communication
with the East, cutting out to an extent
the absolute control San Francisco had
over the coaat trade; then came Seattle
and Tacoma to divide these honors. On
the South San Diego and Los Angeles

of the original trade of the coaat As
each of these centera grew Into promi

would control the whole coast. Aa the
matter stands It la a mooted question.
One thing 4s certain. Unleaa the ooaat
stands together. Its share of the "loaves
and flshes" at Washington will be small
Indeed. Oregon at one time failed of
representation In the upper house at
Washington, due to dissensions; Call
fornla haa there been represented by
bad men because the good men of the
state would not. Or could not, combine
on a good man; the state of Washington
haa had a similar experience In her
time. Seattle and Tacoma are more
closely allied than the farthest sepa
rated suburbs of Chicago, yet the two
cities, that should pull together and
soon be one great municipality, are at
daagars drawn on every proposition.
Meanwhile Portland haa flung down
the gauntlet. and haa given these com
mercial rivals a Paciflo coast project
that should Interest every community,
every good cltlsen living anywhere on
this side of the great divide from San

question should be "I Tow Can I, in my
Individual capacity, or associated with
my fellows, help Oregon .in the Lewis

the one hundredth anniversary of the
annexation to the United States, of the
only portion' of our common country ac

In 1900 the Commercial Newa of San
Francisco, sent its representatives from
San Diego to Victoria, arguing at each
port with the boards of trade, or the
leading commercial, organisation, by
whatever name called, for a United Pa

may have been aatlsfactory from the
counting room standpoint, it was evi
dent when that special number waa is
sued, that each port waa jealous of all
rivals, and a united stand for "The
Coaat" In national affairs, or In local af
fairs, was the "lrridescent dream" of
the optimist. This year, the Commer
cial News of this city again endeavored
to rally the commercial Interests of the
coast and as a unit to work for Port
land and the Lewis and Clark exposi

the only California paper to take a
strong stand upon the subject The ob

The stirring Incidents which fired the
men of Concord and Lexington to a suc

and the romantlo love of the coquettish
Janice and her soldier sweetheart,

Throughout the play the hearts of men

ally would seem to partake of the mir

Is not the case. These meaauremeata
were made during the latter part of the
Irrigation seaaon. The large,, Increase
comes from the greater volume diverted
when these. rivers run high. The fact
that a stream like the South Platte,
carrying only 28 second feet, should
gain in less than 100 miles from the
seepage of Irrigated fields nearly twice
as much as It carried when It left the
mountains, is significant of the benefits
which are to come to Irrigators farther
down by the further extension of the re
claimed area above."
Water used in irrigating is In large
part returned to the drainage channela
and can he again and again diverted for
irrigation. On the Cache la Pondae
creek, in Colorado, experiments recently
made show that while the original dis
charge In tha canyon was 127 cubic feet
per second, tha volume at a point con
siderably .lower down on the stream i
had Increased to 214 cublo feet per sec

age; an addition of more than two thirds
of the original volume, available to sup- j
ply . canals lower down. .
If this meana anything to u it mean
that the Irrigated fields are the best
storage reservoirs, for by placing the
water in them through canals, it can be
used over and over and In Increasing the
volume, I am positive this is the best
solution of the difficulty, for this sec
tion, at least. The Umatilla at present
carries a large volume of water In the
flood aeaaon, and by utilising this water
the stream will Je very greatly enlarged
In the dry aeaaon, from seepage or re

fore mentioned, will be increased In

cesa 6f the cost of the construction of I
a canal, for the diversion of the waters,
of which we have an abundant proof
shown by the results of land irrigated
by flood waters in this vicinity.
Given water there is no more pro
ductive land in the country than la this
great basin between the Blues and Cas
cades, and the Columbia on the north.
We are favored with open winters when
irrigating can be done almost any day.
