The dam Is to be constructed In n rocky gorge 30 miles west of Vale, it will result in a lake 15 miles in length nnd from a mile to one nnd oue-hnlf mile sin width. A. J. Goodman, of the Goodman Thompson Hardware Company, has. just returned from a trip to the Mal heur country. Willie at Valo he at tended a meeting of the farmers, who aro perfecting nn organization to be known as tho Wnter Users' Cor poration. "It Is the Intention of the govern ment," said Mr. Goodman, "to con- .ni ,1... tofltrntlin ilLr.li In tha DUULL 11IC Ul l ... - I Malheur valley and to turn it over to the persons benefitted at actual cost. It Is estimated that the project will mean an expenditure of about $3,000,000. The engineer In charge declares there are 100,000 acres of land that can be watered by e ditch. This means that for each acre of land the farmer will be obliged tu pay the gov ernment $30 for perpetual water right. In order to cause the prop erty owners no Inconvenience, the government will require the $30 to be paid In 10 annual Installments. "However, before the work on the ditch Is commenced, the government demands that owners of at least 75, 000 acres of the lands to be irrigat ed, agree to take the water. That is why the Water Users' Corporation is to be formed. In this manner the farmers can deal directly with the government. "There are several ditches owned by private Inu.viduals and in order in Inmirn the comnletlon of the gov ernment project It will be necessary to first acquire these. "The lands that will be watered by the new ditch extend along either Bide of tho Malheur river, and from the point where tho dam Is to be constructed to Ontario it Is 45 miles. Th inml Ir vpi-v fertile and the older gardens and farms have fully demon strated just whnt can be clone in me tho wny of fruit raising, alfalfa and bee culture." Kansas City. .July 29.
