Continued Investigations and arrest of

PROJECT. ASSURED
Reclamation of the 100,000 acres
constitujting the" North Unit irriga
tion project in Jefferson county, Cen
tral Oregon, is assured, according to
an announdement by H," W.J Gard,
president, and A. D. Anderson, sec
retary of? the project, who are in
Portland t6day. '"' '
.The employment pf A. 'Jr Wiley, recla.
mation engineer of Boise, Idaho, for the
irrigation project and of F. C. Herrmann
for the bond underwriting company, to
make all preliminary surveys, was 'also
announced. " -
The Ralph Schneelock ' company of
Portland, said President Gard, has taken
an option at 90 on the entire 35,000.000
bond issue voted by - the people of the
North Unit irrigation- district, and this
company has already paid, for $50,000
of r the bonds at the same rate. The
funds thus secured will be used in meet
ing the expense of the preliminary work.
This work involves the final location of
the Irrigation ditches, the impounding
dams and the reservoir.- Much of the
survey has already been - tentatively
made cooperatively by the United States
reclamation service and the Oregon
siaie engineer, . . ,
BE8EBTOIB MAKES LAKE
The reservoir for -the North Unit will
be located- Just above Benham falls on
the . Deschutes river and will constitute
a, lake more than ' 20 miles long and
four to five miles wide.: -The main con
veyor ditch will be 45 miles long. At
one - point' the whole - current will be
carried across the canyon of the Crooked
river. .;i ;;-;;; ;:;';:-.
!-"Allithe preliminary work up to the
point - of ' actual construction will be
done within six months from the pres
ent date," . said Gard. 'The construc
tion work will then occupy, from two to
three years.
"The building of the North Unit proj
ect means the building . i of - all the
Deschutes basin irrigation units com
prehending approximately 270,000 acres,
for the Benham falls reservoir and the
natural flow of the Deschutesr will pro
vide water for-, all. This means that
Central - Oregon : will have in irrigation.
development equal in magnitude to Twin
Falls. Idaho, and the railroad receipts
for" ltl at .Twin Falls aggregated In
value 342,000.000. ; I wonder If Port
land - can understand the value in the
upbuilding of this city of such a project
exclusively tributary to it? . .
TO INCREASE WHEAT TIELD '
- "Under dry ,land farming, the aver
age production from -the North Unit is
500,000. bushels of grain a year. , We
estimate that under irrigation - it will
be; : 5,000,000 : bushels a year, always
granting .that wheat ' will be grown In
the- same ' proportion as now." -:

to it that good, representative men are
Disced on the local tickets or they find
themselves defeated when the votes are
counted. . But, y'understand, we're out of

Tulsa has a Kiwanis club membership
of 140. When it is considered that but
two members .are ' permitted for ' each

Halting company,. The World has a high
standing in Oklahoma journalism and la

effective piece of advertising for Port
land and Oregon," said N- G, Henthorne
of Tuls&, Okla, today, - There is noth
ing so . effective as the actual photo
graph, and the sights depicted in this
booklet will attract attention and ad
miration wherever they are seen."'
