FOREST PROTECTION
WEEK BEGINS MAY 23
PORTLAND, March 1. Governor
Olcott will Issue a special proclama
tion making the week beginning May
23 and ending May 29, "Forest Pro
tection Week" for the entire state.
One of the, subjects for discussion
during Forest Protection Week is
that of tin cans and rubbish left by
careless campers. The forests are
naturally tidy. Man has made them
untidy, and often a rare beauty spot
becomes, a garbage dump because of
the carelessness of some camper.

FLU EPIDEMIC
PASSES CREST
DISEASE PREVALENT IN COCJf
TY AS WELL AS IX CITY
ONLY DEATHS DCS TO COM
PLICATIONS, IS NOTED.'
. That the Influenza epidemic in
Bend and Deschutes county has pass
ed its crest was Indicated today by
reports from both the city and coun
ty health departments. No deaths
from any cause have been reported
since Saturday, and it is pointed out
that the only deaths in connection
with the "flu" in Bend have resulted
from pneumonia complications, and
not from Influenza itself. Few new
cases were reported today.
In the county, the disease has
been fully aa prevalent as in the city,
but the cases have been mild for the
most part, and in most of the rural
districts the, danger is regarded as
past. Redmond has been closed up,
but officials in Bend are firm in the
belief that no such step will be neces
sary here.

Hute Engineer, In Letter to Fred
Jf. Wallace, Outlines New Op
portunities for Irrigation
District.
SALEM. March 1. That the Tum-
ulo project, by virtue of Its recent
organization into an Irrigation dis
trict, may now participate In the ben
efits of any plan adopted for the rec
lamation of the entire Deschutes pro
ject, is the Information given out In
a letter written by State Engineer
Percy A. Cupper to Fred N. Wallace,
manager of the project.
After mentioning the cooperative
report prepared In the year of 1913
1 1 by the engineer's ofllce and the
I'nlled States reclamation service. In
which a plan was outlined for the
reclamation of approximately 200,
000 acre.4 through use of the Benham
Falls reservoir site, Mr. ' Cnpper
writes as follows:
"A thorough investigation of this
reservoir site was made last summer
by Professor Crosby, the noted geol
ogist, and others, and while no re
port has as yet been received. Pro
fessor Crosby bas Indicated that a
'favorable report might be expected.
In preparation for the time when this
report may be received, and either
public or private funds are available
for the construction of one or more
of the' units of the Deschutes pro
ject, it seems to me that at least one
other district should be organized,
which would include the lands in the
west unit.
Four Districts Included.
"If this is done, there will be foar
districts in a position to co-operate
in the construction of the Deschutes
project, the north unit. Tumalo, west
unit, and the Central Oregon Irriga
tion district.
"The Central Oregon irrigation dis- .
trict may have little Interest in com
mon with the other districts unless
perchance It takes over the entire
holdings of the Central Oregon Irri
gation company, including the north
canal unit, consisting some 32,000
acres of unreclaimed Carey act land. '
It 1b to be hoped that an early ad
justment between the central Oregon
irrigation district and the company
will be made in the very near future, "
as I have no doubt it will clear op
many matters of importance to the
larger development. The longer the
adjustment is postponed the more
complicated conditions will become,
resulting inevitably in greater dilB
culty in adjustment and the more un
certainty there will be about the de
velopment of that section of the state
through the construction of the Des
chutes project.
Government Holds Water Righto.
"I will call attention to the fact
that all water rights and public land
rights required in connection with
the Deschutes project are in the
hands of the state and federal gov
ernment, and no undue advantage
can be secured by one unit over an
other. Success can only be attained
through hearty co-operation between
all Interests affected.
"It is of course, impractical to or
ganlze.the north canal onit as an ir
rigation district aa practically all the
fend Is unentered Carey act land, and
the same is largely true of the south
unit, it being withdrawn by the
Cnited States reclamation service.
"I wish to again call attention to)
the necessity of harmony and cooper
ation between the various Interests.
The, state stands in a position to pro
tect and harmonize all interests In
the big Deschutes projects, partic
ularly insofar as water rights are
concerned, and all available energy
and effort should be devoted to shap
ing the project up so that it can be
presented in a favorable light to
either the federal government, or
private capital, as the case may be.
An organization of the directors of
the various districts affected, which I
understand you have suggested,
would be an excellent step and I
hope and trust you may be able to
accomplish something along this lino
ns woll as encourage the organization
of the, west unit."
