Sotson 6 I 11 Feb 21 THE BOARDMAN MIRROR VOLUME II BOARDMAN, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1922 SYNDICATE TO BUT UMATILLA RESIDENT IRKIGATIOX BONDS INJURED AT COLFAX Fifty six of the nation's largest financial institutions( have formed a syndicate and will take over th $28, 000,000 Horse Heaven irrigation bond issue as soon as the supreme court of Washington rules on the val idity of the issue, according to an an nouncement made Wednesday morn ing by John J. Etheridge, manager of Morris Brothers j corporation. Etheridge returned Tuesday from an extended trip to eastern financial centers. Under the plan, as announced, each institution is to take over about $500, 000 worth of the bonds. No move wlil be made, however, until after August 14, when the court ruling is anticip ated. Work will not begin until 30 days later, even tho the court ruling is favorable, Etheridge explained, to allow time for the filing of objections. Etheridge said he does not expect any legal complications in the deci sion to hinder the work. The Horse Heaven country, which includes 340,000 acres in Benton is now a barren section. Water for irrigation is to be brought through a 12 foot circular pipe for almost 100 miles from the Klickitat river on the east slope of Mt. Adams. It will require at least two and one half years to finish the work, the general contract for which has already been let to Howard Anion, local contractor with offices in the Yeon building. Sub-contracts will be let soon after August 14. Engineering difficulties confronting the project are small, it was stated. Etheridge declined to announce the names of the syndicate members declaring that to do st would merely invite keen rivalry, in some cases pro bably bordering on persecution. He declared this issue to be the first syndicate bonds ever placed from the Pacific coast, and indicated that the task had been a tremendous one, be cause of alleged harrassment by eni mies. Etheridge has been working on the deal for seven months. Mor ris' Brothers participation ,fn the bonds will be but $500,000, the same as other members in the syndicate, the manager announced.
