The meeting was called for.the purpose of arranging for the promotion of the Powder River irrigation district, includ ing jthe Thief valley and Balm creek units, on Lower Powder river, somo 15 miles from Baker. Land under this project has been set aside under the Carey act, and the present move is undertaken by the farmers now on- the lind In conjunction with the bu5.ir.esa men of Baker to interest the reclamation service in the project and, if possible, have the work completed by the govern ment. H,0 ACRES INVOLVED Practically all the survey woik has been completed, and if the government can be interested construction work can foe started as soon as funds are available. The project is the largest in Baker county, which county has the largest acreage of land of any couuty in the state classed by the United States geological sjnrvey as susceptible of irri gation, a total of S80.C00 acres. The area to be brought under water by the proposed project is 64,0oo acres. ' This will be under two units. The Thief valley reservoir will have a stor-. age capacity of 140,000 acre ftet water ing about 40,000 acres, while the. remain der will be covered by the Balm creek reservoir, a part of which has oeen built. Water for the large reservoir is taken from the Powder river watershed and the remainder comes from Eagie creek and the Balm creek watershed. FBMEBS BJUSE Fl'SD At present- there is about 8000 acres Of land under the project having water. About 40,000 acres is government land and the remainder of the sagebrush land is privately owned. The average eleva tion is about 3000 feet. The estimated cost of putting water on the land is $100 to as high as $115 an acre. :At a meeting of the Lower Powder River irrigation district a few days ago, the farmers of the project voted a tax of J5 cents an acre, which will raise about $3500 toward a fund for bringing the. project favorably before the reclama tion service. To this fund, the Baker Chamber of Commerce . has agreed to add double the amount voted, making a total of $10,000, to be expended under the direction "of a committee 'to be named. The committee will be com posed of nine members, three of whom are directors of the irrigation district. t A man should protect the home, but he can't do it by staying there on elec tion day.
