that the people of this city and county
are anxious to cooperate in helping
the project along. . The local visitor

As president of the Commercial As

asked that the people of Iondieton

Yioialctiui AHalfa Oops,
"Tho land lies well,' was a remark
heart! on every hand yesterday. Those
who had never Investigated thc-lionrd-mnn
oountry wsro pleasantly surpris
ed at the state of development al -j
ready reached. "Three years ago this
was a. desert, last year this land netted
Iho per acre' said a algn in otts field.
Other bannors of similar character
placed the net profit figures per acre
at from $6f. to $10 for Inst sea son. The
appearance of the alfalfa, cut and un- I
cut, bears out the claim. The alfalfa!
stand Is heavy. Indicating good soil,!
abundance of water and good drain-j
age. Claims as to the yield of alfalfa j
per acre range as high as ll -tons peri
aero. At the present price or hay
this means a handsome profit.
Of the. land proposed for the John
Imy projoct a large amount lies south
west and east of Poardman and the
same beneficial characteristics of the
Roardman country are said to apply to
the desert land. It is argued by the
enthusiastic ones that the John Da'
project If carried out would bo one of
the moat successful projects in th
west and could he made to reclaim as
much as 400,000 acres. The original
project survey however, calls for wa
tering but lltj(MH) acres and a report
by John T. Whistler, in 191G placed
the coat at $125 per acre.
The Whistler report calls for divert
ing water from the John Day at
