ARE YOU THE TENTH?
in every detail, it showed that the
project to irrigate 4300 acres in
Canby district is feasible structur
ally and apparently so impressed
Mr. Page that he expressed will
ingness to go ahead to the extent
of checking the project thoroughly
to determine if it is econimically
sound.
Under the tentative program, as
outlined before the Canby Irriga
tion Project committee, of which
Lloyd Smith of Canby is chairman,
the money for the demonstration
project would be loaned by the U
S. Bureau of Reclamation without
interest for 40 years, the estimated
cost to farmers of the area being
$4 per acre per year including re
payment of the loan and operating
and maintenance costs.
Canby district was selected for
the demonstration irrigation project
by the state engineer's office, after
the state legislature had appropri
ated $7500 for the survey. The U. S,
army engineers who made the sur
vey spent another $17,500 on the
survey, one of the finest ever made
in the west
L. C. Stoll. executive secretary
of the Clackamas county planing
board, and Chairman Bernard
Schoenburg notified Commissioner
Page and U. S. Senator Charles L.
McNary in Washington that the $1.-
000 in match money had been rais
ed. The planning board has ac
tively sponsored the project from
the start, working in close cooper
ation with County Agent John J.
Inskeep and the Canby irrigation
project committee.
