No more authoritative or Inter-, eating brief analysis of the wondfer Jul poistbllltlo of the Deschutes rlf r has been made than that contain ed In an Interview Riven out by state Engineer lewls at Salem on June 15. The data upon which the state ments are based have, been gathered by the state and others. Mr. Lewis' statements. In jrt, were as follows: The Deschutes river at lionham Falls has a mean annual discharge of 1,220,000 aero feet of water, as shown by" eight years' records. The minimum year furnished 1,070,000 acre feet, so that It Is safe to' say that there Is available at this point for Irritation purposes 1,000,000 feet of wster. This will Irrigate 333,000 acres of land, or a strip one mile wide and 520 miles long. Tho regular Bow will ultimate ly irrigate about 120,000 acres be tween Mend snd the Crooked river. Every drop of the remaining water can and should be stored for irri gation purposes through the con struction of a 60-foot dam at Uen ham Kails. This could ,be released In the summer and diverted above Bend, Irrigating 50,000 acres In the llcnham Falls segregation to the east of Ilcnd. "Between Benham Falls(12 miles south of Bend) and Cllno Falls (1C miles north cf Bend) there Is 1300 feet fall. About 60 per cent of tho 1,000,000 acre feet of water will bo discharged through tho dam for Ir rigation purposes, during July and August, and will bo available for the development of power which can be transmitted economically 200 to 400 miles for tho pumping of water to Irrigate other lands along the Col umbia river. This water at a 100. foot "drop Immediately below the dam will furnish 56,000 horsepower which at 50 per cent efficiency ull!
