New Irrigation Code Is
Described By Jay Upton
(The new irrlsatioa code paaaed the legisla
ture laat Friday. Jay Upton, of PrlnevUle,
chairman of the legislative committee of the
Irrigation CensTeaa, attended throughout the
aeaaion at Salem, and hia efficient work in
the measure's behalf Is generally recognised
as a large factor In its adoption. Mr. Upton
has written the following special article for
The Bulletin. A limited number of copies of
the bill itself are available at Tha Bulletin
office, Ed.) -
By Jay Upton.
The enactment ot the new irriga
tion, code will, In my opinion, mean
the Investment of at least ten million
dollars In Eastern Oregon during the
next five years, and will add not less
than titty million dollars to the value
ot Eastern Oregon lands. ' At least
half of these benefits will come to
Central Oregon. Tho code Itself was
drawn In collaboration with the Lum
bermen's Trust company, of Port
land, which had agreed to purchase
the bonds ot tho Warm Springs Irri
gation district, subject to the enact
ment ot an Irrigation code, which
would be satisfactory to them, and
this code generally moots with their
entire approval.
