The fallowing article on the tTma- iilla irrigation Inject is rrom ..ne Oregon Bun'lav Journnl, und while the KM OreKcnlnn hng printed full particulars' of the project, the fol lowing nrtlclo contains gome Interest ing feature and Is cneeriuiry re printed: The Umatilla project, now under conduction by the United States re- c'ainntion survlco, is situated In tne west portion of Umatilla county. Ore ecn, ir the Junction of the Umatilla and Columbia rivers and consists of 20,f.OO acies of very prcductlvn sandy lotm, more commonly called volcan ic ash. Tim soil Is adapted to the gcowlng of all fruits grown outside of tropical cnuntile.. it is the natural home of alfalfa, of whlsh from four to five ions may be cut annually. Pota toes. s-.v'it potatoes and vegetables of all k'nds will be grown success fully. Vbat and other grain crops do -veil but the farmer will find oth er crops pay better. The climate Is very warm in sum mer nnd the season between frosts Is If pg or long.'r than any other place in the west. Tha early spring enables th pro lniri to get fruits or an early mar ket, thus getting the hlphest pi Ices obtainable. The water for reclaiming thp land i. taken from the Umatilla river through a feed canal 25 miles land and held In a reservoir which covers about ISO'J acres and holds 50,000 aere feet f water, or enough to cover ibe enllietrnct of 20.000 aeres to a ilp'tl: of two and one-half feet dur ing the summer scaur n after one full irrigation Iiiih been had In the spring. The Celd Spring? dam Is now un der con-lructlon aid when complet ed will lie 90 feet high, 4&0 feet neniiw Ihu base. nnd. Including the wlns. will be ?500 feet long About 12S moi, 50 teams and four lococotivsH are employed In the con rlructlon. Wlmt llie .iJinil Will Cot. Cne million one hundred thousand dollars has been allotted to complete the entire system. It Is estimated that water will cost not more than (60 per acre, Inclusive of the cost of maintenance of tho entire plant for 10 years after completion of the work. This money will be rturned to Ihu secretary of the Interior at the rate of i per acre annually for 10 years without Interest, or, figuring on a cash basis, the water right will cost only 130 per acre. The first payment is due In December, after a full soason'3 Irrigation. Owing to tho permanent character o'. tie structures, the headgates, pipe lines and drops being of solid con- rele and Indestructible, the cost of maintenance of tho ditches after tho first 10 years will be reduced to the minimum. Much of the land Is unimproved and covered with a heavy growth of sagebrush which can be cleared for 3 per acre and surfacing and level ing will cost from fS to 25 per acre according to conditions and require ments. About l.r.,00i acies are In private ownership, patented and otherwise. This lend Is held at $r.O to S100 per acre, not Including water right About fiOOO acres will be thrown open to homestead entry under the five-year settlement only. In tracts of 10, 20 nnd 40 acres, according to proximity to the different towns. This will be free, costing nothing but the homestead filing fee and the payment of the cost of the water service. which Is levied pro rata upon lands under the ditch. It Is not expected that patents will be Issued for this land until the wa ter has all been paid for. Any man who is a citizen and has not used his homestead right, or any woman who Is a widow, the head of a family or a single person, may file on the land, but nut both husband and wife. Persons holding 100 acres before commencement of operations by the government on the project may hold the whole of It and obtain water for the same, but It is the wish of tho teclumatlon service that the land be cut in small holdings to obtain the highest degroe of cultivation and mid make all the homes possible. Under no conditions can one per son obtain water for more than 160 acres. Tho time and manner of opening the public land Is not yet made known, bpt the reclamation service expects to have tho work so far along as to be able to recommend the open ing by June 1, 1907, but due notice will be given by the Interior depart ment beforo opening. Each owner of land under the ditch becomes a member of the Wnter l"eeis' 'association to the extent of one share of stock to each acre owned. Tho s'ockholdera elect a board of di meters who. In turn elect officers to serve one yoar. The association acts an an agent to transact the business between the government and the In' dividual. It makes a contract with the secretary of the Interior to pay back the money spent and takes a mortgage from the Individual to se cure payment of the same. The headquarters of the association Is at IlermlMon. John T. Whistler, project engineer. ha Ms headquarters and offices at Hermlston, where a large force of engineers Is employed. Here all freight Is received . and distributed. Then I Am Talking to You Remember you are not building for a few years, but probably for a lifetime. It costs no more to have your home planned and built artis tically, convenient and well arranged and lasting than It does to simply have a place In which to live. - .JrTT- V ..'JJZX'.l.f -I lit rcy?.T (The "Stonekote" rough cast cement block Is all the rage. It makes tha most perfect house, Is dura ble and lasting. It gives a most pleasing effect and its permanent and will outlive an ordinary wood house al-. most a decade, If our speci fications are followed out.

Hermlston, although only six months old, has a population of several hun dred, Is being rapidly built up with good permanent buildings. Five sub stantial bricks are now under con struction and many wood buildings. One bank was opened in January last and another will soon be added. Two good hotels, two hardware stores, two general stores, two billiard halls, two livery barns, a feed store, an up-to-date newspaper anJ four real estate offices are now doing business. It Is on the main line of the O. R. & N. railroad and within seven miles of the Columbia river. Tho lands of the Umatilla project are about 4 60 feet above sea level and none are farther than five miles from a railroad station. Soon the Jackrabblt and the sage brush will give way to waving .fields of alfalfa and the orchards laden with their luscious fruits. The .desert will be made to blossom as the rose.
