Baker, ' April 21. The strongest
JlMOve ever attempted In Baker coun
jty for the promotion of irrigation
J-wa launched here Monday evening
at. : a mass meeting hgld in the
eourtbouae under the auspices . of
the Baker Chamber of Commerce.
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.

with this new product
IF your whole week's washing consisted
of handkerchiefs and tea napkins, Mon
day would never have become the day of
drudgery that it is. It's the! big, bulky,
hard -to-handle things that have made
washing such a dreaded task, j
There are the sheets. The bedspreads
; that never show how gray and dingy they
; are till you actually get them in the tabs,
j And the bath towels and bath mats-soiled
' from lying on the bathroom floor. These
are the things that makeyou hate washday.
' The new way of washine makes these
heavy things almost as easy to launder as
tne handkerchiefs.
You just soak them clean with Rinso
the new form of soap in fine grannies.
Rinso is made of finer quaKty ingredients
than ever were used before in a soap for
the family washing. In these purer mild
auda your clothes aomk as safely as in
water alone. For Rinso is so harmless
it does not even redden your hands.
Soak your clothes overnight in a tab of
Rinso suds. In the morning a thorough
rinsing carries off ail the 5rt, leaving the
dothes spotlessly clean.
Rinso softens hard water. Where hard
water is used make an increased amount of
the "soap liquid" according to directions
on the package, and continue adding it to
your tub of cold water until you have a
good rich suds. -
Start using Rinso next Monday. Use it
for all your clothes except the dainty thgs
yoo always wash with Lux. Get a package
from your grocer or any department store.
