Is One of the Most Promising of tlie National Works of Reclaniution Engineers Here Had the Utilization of John Day River Under Consider ation for Several Years Umatilla Project Will Reclaim Thousands of Acres 111 Eastern Oregon. In an Interview given out In Port land yesterday D. C. Henney, head of the reclamation work In the north west said the following concerning the East Umatilla project: Advantages in Umatilla. "The Umatilla project is attracting more than local interest. Inquiries concerning it are received nt Wash ington from many parts of the coun try. The extraordinary advantages possessed by this section of Oregon, In the way of low altitude, long grow ing season, the early maturity of hlgh prlced products and the extremely fertile soil make the Umatilla pro ject one of the most promising of the national works of reclamation. "An Interesting engineering feature of this project is the Cold Springs dam. which will be one of the largest earthen embankments In the world. It will be 3200 feet long, with a max imum height of 89 feet and contain "00.000 cubic yards of material or about one-fourth of the cubical con tents of the ryramld of Cheops. "The present plans will reclaim about 20.000 acres of land east of the Umatilla river, all that can be fully supplied by the available flood water of the stream. The watering of other areas included In this project depends upon other sources of water supply. The engineers have had under consid eration for several years the utiliza tion of the John Day river. "Careful consideration of the vari ous plans Involved Indicate that the scheme Is likely to prove excessively expensive, owing to the many miles of canals along rough and rocky can yon sides, and the greatly varying flow in the river Itself. Water From Columbia. "Recently the engineers have had under consideration the irrigation of a larger portion of the lower lands west of the Umatilla district, with wa ter from the Columbia river. The water Is to be lifted by electric power transmitted from power stations on the Deschutes river. While this meth od Is likely to be expensive. It Is the most favorable yet discovered." 0 JCTMC MUCH ATTENTION Arthur Gibson Awarded Con tract and Work Will Com mence at Once. BID $1550 OX A III ILDIXG 130x200 FEET, ACCEPTED. Sufficient Money Hug Been Secured to Insure the Success of the Fair Morrow County Will Share In the Benefit lie Building Will Be Made Large and Attractive, Ad joining the Kunket Implement Store All Arrangements Well Under Way. At a meeting of the district fair commission held last evening the contract for the erection of the fair pavilion was let to Arthur Gibson, and work on the same will commence at once. Bids were submitted last night on two different sized struc tures. Mr. Gibson bid 11550 on a building 150x200 feet and 11100.90 on one 100x200 feet. This morning it was decided by the commission to accept the bid for the smaller building for the reason that by hav ing It that size the pavilion may be left standing after the fair is over, whereas the larger one would have to be dismantled. The pavilion is to be erected on tho vacant ground adjoining the Kunkel Implement store, permission to use the same havlnc Seen secured from the railroad officials. The pavilion will cover the entire space from the Ferguson building to the corner of Main and Railroad streets, and the main entrance will be at the corner. It is planned to arrange the Interior of the building In such a way that It will be very attractive and will have sufficient capacity to house all the ex hibits that can be secured. Now that the fair project Is on In earnest and suffllcent money has been secured to Insure Its success, earnest efforts will be made to In duce Morrow county to come In and share In the benefits of the proposi tion. Regarding the sister county's participation In the fair Lee Teutsch, one of the commissioners, said yes terday: "Morrow county was reluctant about exhibiting at the Lewis and Clark fair, as was Umatilla also, but both were .afterwards very glad that they took part by having suitable ex hibits. Morrow will find the same to be true in regard to the district fair. It is for them as well as the people of Umatilla county and as there Is much land for settlement In Morrow county they could do no better ad vertising than to have a good exhibit at the coming fair."
