Where to Get Information.
Persons who consider loca
tion on the Tumalo project are
directed to write Fred N. Wal
lace, prelect manage, Tumalo,
Oregon, lie will furnish to all
'applicants necessa'-y blanks
and information. Selection of
tracts for .'settlement . is made
by personal vis-it to the project.
The cost of the water rights is
$40 for each irrigable acre, and
a payment of one-tenth of this
.amount or $4 an acre n re
quired at the time of the ex
ecution of contract. To (iipr-oiii'-age
speculators and tf increase
the certainty of placing actual
settlers on the project, no it
Bon is allowed to file on more
than 80 acres.
s
Will the state-owned Tumalo" Irri
gation project he a ru''M.hh?
Will actual settlers on t'.re project
"be able to live in comfort?
What must a man do in order to
locate on the project?
What does he need in equipment and
capital?
Answer to these questions is Riven
for the benefit of Journal readers by
O. Laurgaard. project engineer who
has completed his work in connection
with the project and has just returned
to Portland.
The engineer has absolute faith In
the. project. The lands, he says, are
deeper and hence better than on the
east side of the Deschutes. Actual
settlers making proper provision will
do well.
1 The Tumalo project is in Crook
county, central Oregon, and H reached
by either the Harriman o- Hill i ail --
roads up the Deschutes:. The nearest
town is Tumalo (formerly called f. aid
law); the neaiest railroad station is
Deschutes.
Many Contracts Executed.
Mr. I.autai'd said that the num
"ber of contracts ali'T.'iy executed for
tracts is rcrr ;irkabb' considering that
during tlic winter time scarcely no I
opportunity is iMveti during the winter;
time for "setters to look over the i
land and select locations. j
"In my mind there is no question of j
the success of the Turnalo project," ;
aid the entrineer. ";,'p to the first j
of February. the time I ieft the proj- ;
' act, there "had been "OS contracts ac- j
tuolly executed for lands, on the proj- !
ct, and each contract represents 40 ,
acres. This is really remarkable when i
. you consider that the project has been
completed only about a month and that
no sales are possible in the winter time j
. when the country is covrrwl with j
snow and few pcop'e are traveling. The j
contracts 1 speak of "were executed j
'before January I and before snowfall.
Example of the ii.trrcpi t.ik- n by the ;
general public and tiomeseektrs is j
given In the results of one week's ad- ;
vertisement in the leading Portland, j
Seattle and fpoknue papers. We re- (
celved inquiries from nvf r ir.no inter-j
estcd latitl seekers, a great m,ny of
v whom will visit the project to buy 1
'- land in the spring,. There remains onty
about 400 40-hci e roiitraots sti'l to be
signed before 'he Tumalo project will
have been entirely taken up by actual
' settlers.
Payments Made Easy.
"The state is making the payments :
exceedingly easy. Kut one-tenth cash j
.- is required at the time of the execution I
of the contract, and the balance in ten
years. If a man improves and culti-J
vates one-third of the irrigable area of !
his tract each of the fitst three years
' no payment is required on the princi- j
.pal during those years, otherwise one j
tenth is required annually and inter
est is charged on all deferred pay
ments at the rate of 6 per cent.
"In order to eliminate the specu
i, lator, lands are sold not to exceed SO
acres of Irrigable land to one person. :
A man, to file on the land, must be
Of age, a 1'nited States citizen or-one j
Who has declared intention of hecom-
. Ing a citizen. No charge is made for
the land. The land is tree. The;
. charge is made for the water riht :
s only and at thP rate of 140 per ir- !
- rigabie acre. If there is waste land 1
on any tract, the settler pays for it at
the rate of $2.50 an acre.
"In my opinion, the country is best
,. adapted . for dairying and stock rais
ing. The lands are suitable for the
growing of alfalfa, clover, cereals and
root crops. Each acre, with ordinary
care, will raise from three to five tons
; of alfalfa a year. This hay. sold lo
cally, is always in good demand at
from $12 to $15 a ton, and when fed

that the hay brings about $20 a ton.
Returns Are Estimated.
"Thirty to eighty acres of irrigable
land, dependent upon the man and the
size of his family, will make a good
living for any settler.
"Before a man goes on the project,
he should have as capital at least $700
to $1000. He will find it necessary
first to build a small house costing
$300 to $400. Ha must put up a
fence, the cost of which will depend
upon the amount of his labor, but
should not exceed $50 cash. He must
buy a team, costing approximately
$200, and a cow, costing $60 to $70.
His wagon and farm implements will
cost from $1&0 to $250. In addition
to these expenses, a man with a fam
ily must provide for the; living and
must furnish a year of his own labor
before he can expect any returns. His
work will consist of making improve
ments, clearing his land and prepar
ing the soil for the crops.
"The first cash payment for the
water right will be $4 per irrigable
acre.
"There is absolutely no question but
that a man can make a success on
the Tumalo project if he has a capital
of $700 to $100, works hard and
sticks to it.
Frosts Not Feared.
"On account of the dry condition
of the territory about the Tumalo
project and the high altitude agricul
tural crops are not very successfully
grown without irrigation. The terri
tory is subject to occasional frosts
during the growing season, but where
water is available for application
ttiese frosts do not affect the crops
detrimentally. It has been demon
strated that water applied to crops
the day following: a frost will prevent
any considerable damage to the crop.
"The Tumalo project contains 22,
500 irrigable acres. The reservoir
site covers 1100 acres and the reser
voir is supplied by the unfailing wa
ters of Tumalo and Prater creeks. It
has a storage capacity of 20,000 acre
feet, and according to the reports by
the best engineers of the country the
water supply is ample and will con
tinue to be so.
"When I was first appointed pro
ject engineer, I realized that the
smallest part of the development was
the construction work. The big thing
is to settle the la nd with industrious,
satisfied farmers who will cultivate
the lands that we have reclaimed and
thereby contribute to the progress and
the wealth of the state.
liana soard Acts Wisely.
"The dessert land hoard has acted
wisely, in my opinion, in appointing
Kfed N. Wallace, a. central Oregon
man, as project manager. He is fa
miliar with conditions and knows what
! the settler must provide for. Anyone
desiring information should address
'Mr. Wallace at Tumalo, Or., or the
desert land board at Salem. Although
I have officially severed my connec
tion with the project as engineer, due
to the completion of the work, I am
so interested in it and its success that
I will be glad to render any inquirer
any possible service at any time with
out thought of compensation."
1 The Tumalo project was formerly
i known as the Columbia Southern proj
'; ect. It was originally undertaken un
I der the terms of the Carey act, and
' after passing through various hands
j .as turned back to the state. The
1913 legislature made an appropria
tion of $450,000 to be spent in con
struction of the project, and the final
report shows that $443,704.69 of the
appropriation was spent. It is said
that no irrigation project, state1 or
private, haa ever been constructed
with greater efficiency of work or
economy at expenditure, and the qual

ity of project construction has given
encouragement to further reclamation
by the same plan. The Tumalo proj
ect is the only state owned and de
veloped irrigation project In the Unit
ed States.
Details of Tax
Law Explained
County Tax Collector Jobs M. Lewis
Issues Statement Covering Payment
of Taxes.
That Multnomah county taxpayers
may be properly informed as to the
stand taken by the local tax depart
ment in interpretation of the former
and the new tax laws in this county.
County Tax Collector John M. Lewis
has issued the following selfexplana
tory statement:
Taxes may be paid in full or In two
equal installments, subject to the fol
lowing conditions:
First If any tax is paid in two in
stallments, the first half must be paid
on or before March 31. 1915. If the
first half is paid in time, the second
half may be paid without penalty
after May 22, 1915, and before October
1, 1915. If the second half is not paid
during this period, it will become de
linquent on October 1, 1915, and sub
ject to a penalty of 10 per cent and
interest at the rate of 12 per cent per
annum until paid.
Second If the first half of any tax
is not paid on or before March 31,
1915, then the whole of the tax will
be due and subject to a penalty of 1
per cent a month from April 1, 1915,
until August 31. 1915. On September
1, all taxes of which one half has not
been paid prior to April 1, 1915, will
be delinquent and subject to a penalty
of 10 per Cent and interest at the rata
of 12 per cent per annum until paid.
Third If the first half of any tax
is xaid in time (before April 1, 1915),
U will be necessary for the taxpayer
to deter the payment of the second
one half until after May 28, 1915, to
avoid a penalty on that half, as the
present law, which will be in effect
until May 2.2. 1915, requires the tax
collector to collect a penalty of 1 per
cent a month on all taxes paid after
jviarcn 31, lJii.

Newspaper Man Named as
Manager of Department by
President F. T, Griffith,
President Franklin T. Griffith of the
Portland Railway. Light & Power Co..
yesterday afternoon appointed William
P. Strandborg manager of the com
pany's publicity department, which
will be reestablished tomorrow after
a hiatus of several months. Mr. Grif
fith announced that the policy would
be to maintain a permanent informa
tion service, ready at all times to sura
ply the public with every phase of the
company's activities.
One of tne missions of the depart
ment will be to encourage what Mr.
Griffith calls the "community optim
ism" spirit, tlie policy being to insist
that Portland is the finest city in the
world.
Mr. Strandborg, who Is known as
"Bill" throughout the northwest, has
been in the newspaper game in Port
land for nine years as a member of
the Evening Telegram staff. His gen
eral experience has spread out over 15
years in Portland and eastern cities.
He is a member of the Portland Ad
club, the Press club, the Automobile
club, the Progressive Business Men's
club, the Transportation club, the So
cial Turn Verein, the Elks and the
Muts, of which he is the founder and
present chief.
"Our company prides itself on the
fact that it is keeping stride with
every other public utility concern in
the country in the way of furnishing
the most modern and most satisfac
tory service to its patrons," said Pres
ident Griffith, "und our plan is, with
the resumption of the publicity de
partment, to take the public into the
fullest and frankest confidence in all
matters which pertain to the operation
of this property, the largest of its kind
in the Pacific northwest. Theref is a
vast deal of information to which the
people are entitled, which has to do
with the growth of the community,
the development of its industries, the
quality of transportation and other
service which our company will be in
position to give out in systematic, ac
curate and entertaining form.
"The day is far gone when the pub
lic service corporation might play its
Just part and perform its full duty in
assisting the progress and prosperity
of its community by holding aloof
from it, and it is our purpose to meet
the public more than half way in
maintaining our position in the indus
trial structur of the city and its
people."
