"As yet we have made no experi ments as to the probable amount of loss by evaporation from the reser voirs. After May 1st there will be four or five months, when we will have to contend with evaporation, with nothing to take the place of the water that will be lost In this man ner. "In Idaho we lose about three feet of water during the summer months. A shallow reservoir with a depth of water of 15 feet would shrink to 12 feet through losses of evaporation. It may bo more here. With a surface of seven or eight square miles of water, which will bo about What we will have with out seven reservoirs, we will lose a large amount of water from this cause. "You can see how the evaporation of thnt amount of water would change the character of the wind from a hot wind to a cool, moist wind. The River Gets Back Its Own. "In the Boise river we notice that the water put on in the early spring months gradually seeps down and striking an impervious strata it flows back to the - river or appears as springs lower down. The land acts as ,a reservoir and gradually releases the water. "Measurements taken at the canyon at the head of the valley during the short water months show only one fourth of the amount of water actu ally taken out of the river by the var ious ditches. Of this extra water, probably one-half is surface water and the remainder underflow. "Owing to the conformation of the basalt bedrock in this vicinity the water we divert from the river will be returned to the river by seepage. This will furnish move than sufficient water for Holbrook and others who wish to draw from the river for Irri gation puposes. Running a Trial Line. "At present I am running. a trial ditch line from a low gap near Asa Thompson's farm across Butter creek near the school house and I expect to strike the river somewhere near Yoa kum. This line will be the highest available line and it may be necessary to use a lower line. "The ditch wll be high enough to be above all the reservoir sites, so that the reservoirs may be filled from the ditch and a part of the seepage from the ditches will go into the res ervoir. "As to the capacity of the reservoir, I will not hazard an opinion as I hav not made a preliminary survey nor made any estimates. Our Citizens Have Co-Operated "My work has been greatly expedlt ed by the helpfullness of the citizens of Echo and the farmers of Butter creek and of the vicinity. They hav furnished me information that has enabled me to cover the ground more quickly than I otherwise could have done. "I have also been greatly helped by Mr. T. G. Hailey, Judge Lowell and other members of the executive committee of Umatilla County Irriga tion Committee. Gives Credit tc Umatilla County, "I notice that Mr. Moody is given tine entire credit for securing the withdrawal of this land. To give the credit where credit is due, it was largely through the efforts of Mr, John Hailey. Sr., that this action was taken. His efforts were instrumental In arousing an Interest in the work and in starting the investigation. Mr. Hailey is an intimate friend or o, w, Ross, who has charge of the irlgatlon work in Oregon. Washington and Utah. "Though Morrow county will be equally benefited, yet to the progres sive business men of Pendleton and Umatilla county the credit is largely due. However, one should take the broad minded view of Judge Lowell 'Suppose It does help Morrow county as much as Umatilla, whatever helps to build up the state Is a good thing, What the Government Will Require, "One of the first things the govern .ment will ask is 'What security can be given under the present laws that the cost of construction will be paid promptly and without litigation?' You have the right district law. It should he ascertained if it is constitutional. Similar laws have been declared un constitutional. Method of Taking the Land. "Until water Is on the land the only method of taking the land will be by homestead right' scrip and desert acts being barred. When the water Is on the land It may bo that it can ho taken by scrip or under the desert act. I do not know. From tne time the water is turned on the land Jtpe government will require the cost of construction of the irrigation ditches to be paid. It will be paid In 10 year ly payments without interest. The government wishes to have these payments made just as taxes are naid. It must be secured for the payment of the actual cost of con structlon. "During this period of ten years the government will have charge of the canal and will charge maintainance or the actual expense of running tho d tch to-tho users of tho water. "At the end of this time the water users will own the ditch ana will elect their own board of managers to control Its affairs. Tho law covers the difficulty of private ownership of reservoirs sites. The act of August 30, 1890, contains thp following pro " 'Reservoir sites heretofore locat ed or selected Bhall remain segregat ed and reserved from entry or sot tlment as provided by said act until otherwise provided by law, and reser voir sites heretofore located or se lected on public land shnll In like manner, be reserved from the date of location or selection thereof, LU O LACE CURTAINS TALK ABOUT LACE CURTAINS I You ought to soo ours.
