Government reclamation work is most seriously crippled by the scarcity of labor. The chief engineer of the service makes
the statement that 100 more men and many teams are needed in the Klamath project alone.
The Deschutes region, which is one of the wonders of the Northwest as - an agricultural producer, is suffering for help.
Progress on the Deschutes irrigation plant is fatally retarded for want of labor.
Central Oregon, the most attractive section in the United States today for the pioneer home builder, needs men. Land
there is cheap and abundant Much is vet available for homesteading, and can be obtained for almost nothing. It is not desert
land, as many suppose. It is fertile and fabulously productive. Thousands upon thousands of acres will produce good crops
without irrigation, and with intelligent cultivation can be made into valuable farms. A young man with a team and a few
dollars in money can go into that country now and by diligent work in a few years have a farm worth anywhere from $2,000 to
$8,000. Those who go first will have the best chances. Kailroads and other means of development are sure to follow, and the
sooner the demand the sooner they will be built.
