AVOR OF IRRIGATION
FOR DISTRICT LANDS
Vote Is 105 to 11 for Getting
Water on 15,000 Acre
; Project,
EXTENSIVE UNDERTAKING
BMt Method of Oatttnff Desired -;
' rolta Will Be Considered Before
A&otaer Tot Xa Taken.
' Aenland, Or.. May 25. By a ma
jority o 105 to 11. tha farmera of
tha Tftlent-Aahland Irrigation district
by vote last Friday, Indorsed tha for
mation of tha district, elected directora
and demonstrated their determination
if to get water on 16,000 acrea of land.
The directors elected were: J. W. Mll
nar, O. A. Manning and Ed Roblson.
' : Emmett Heeson was elected aecretary.
These officials will now take under
consideration and study from every
angle a number of propositions which
have been submitted or irrigating the
district. When they have decided
Which In their Judgment is the most
advisable, they will submit It to the
atate Irrigation board and will have
It Investigated by government engi
neers. If favorable opinions are re
ceived the proposition will be placed
before the landowners of the district
at another election for their final decision.
, The magnitude of the proposition
can be more nearly realized by the fact
that one of the 'propositions which is
being aeriously considered for bringing
water to the land Includes over 25
milea of main canal before a lateral
branches off, a 2000 foot tunnel through
a mountain, the utilization of 13 miles
of creek bed. and a reservoir which
will inundate several square miles, to
cost about $900,000.
The farmers and orchard men of the
aoutherly end of the Rogue Klver val
ley are determined to have water. The
few who have been able to get water
upon their land have produced crops
of alfalfa, fruit and vegetables which
provide the only argument necessary.
,Whll In years of average rainfall. Irri
gation is not imperatively necessary.
In the years that the rainfall falls be
low the average. Irrigation would have
meant . saving of hundreds of thou
sands to the Rogue River valley.
The farmers of the Ashland-Talent
district are alive to all this and are
cooperating to secure that which all
must have and which none alone can
aecure.
