Mstricl Is Formed
In 1919 the John Day Irrigation Dis
trict was formed under the laws of the
State of Oregon and it is now prepar
ed legally to do business with the U.
8. Reclamation Service and to issue
bonds for construction work. A- board
of directors with C. C. Clark of Arling
ton, as chairman,, were elected and It
its under stood that John H. Dewls for
merly Stat engineer of Oregon or a
mair of similar character - and wide
.reputation will soon be selected ap
chief engineer and more detailed pre
liminary surveys will soon be com'
menced. Negotiations- for the sale of
bonds will ateo be attempted. The
low state of the U. S. Reclamation
fund precludes present possibiliets of
aid from government sources. If the
next Congress awakens to the needs
of irrigation in the west and makes a
liberal appropriation, and the Smith-
Chamberlain bill becomes a law, aid
may be obtained under this act.
. Finally, the merits of the pro
ject are so great that capitalists may
be Induced to buy the bonds. The
program is large and much is yet to
j be accomplished but the project Is
feasible and the benefits beyond any
j estimate. , There is an abundant wa-
ter supply. The soil Is rich and the
topography smooth. The land values

the directors of the John Day are en
titled to unstinted praise for their skill
and enterprise in conducting such an
important preliminary affair in behalf
of the great undertaking. Such work
is just as necessary as surveys and
ditch digging. Success in any big
public enterprise lies first in securing
the interest and support of the peo
ple who may be affected. But there Is
