DISTRICT LAW AIDS PROJECTS AND PROJECTS RAILROAD AID Slriitiorn Wants to Sco Irrigation In Central Oregon on It.s Feet Three Sections uro Now Considering Work Under District Plan. Ono phases of tho Strnhorn plans for tho development of Central Ore gon Is the rojuvenatlon of tho various Irrigation projects which, for ono rea 'son or another, hava languished slnco their Inception, nnd tho promotion of others which hnvo been studied and reported fcaslbls, but on which no work has been done. Ry so doing Mr. Strahorn expects to make satis fied fnrmera out of those- now on tho ground, to bring now settlers In and to cnlargo tho volumo of Undo for tho Oregon, California & Eastern. In this connection recent activity In tho promotion of Irrigation pro jects under tho district law Is of es pecial Interest. Brought to a realization of tho possibilities of tho law through tho activity under It of the settlors In tho Grandvlow country who nro Interest ed In tho Suttlcs lake Irrigation pro ject, tho pcoplo of three other dis tricts aro taking active measures for the promotion of their projects In tho tamo manner, whllo tho district law Is being looked to as tho means of ending tho difficulties In which exist ing projects find themselves. Tho Silver Jjiko Project. Ono project, tho dovolopmont of which would bo especially advantage eous to the new rail lino, Is that at Silver Lake, on which n preliminary report has Just been made by tho en glneors working under a Joint rtato and federal appropriation. On re ceipt of tho report a special meeting of tho Silver Lako Water Users As sociation was called for yesterday af ternoon to discuss tho organization of a district and from tho interest taken it Is expected that Irrigation in that section will not bo long postpon ed. Tho report considers tho project In four divisions, Silver .Lake, Paulina, Horning Dend and Fort Rock. They cover a total of 48,600 acres and tho estimated cost of reclamation Is $28,10 per acre, one of tho lowest aero costs of nny project In tho state. Two units of tho project are recom mended as immediately .feasible De I velopment of a third Is advised as soon as the land owners on It express a deslro therefor, and of the others as soon ob tho adjudication of certain streams show water to ho available Another project In tho samo sec tion which Mr. Strahorn wishes to see put on its feet is that of tho Port land Irrigation Company at Paisley. uecent action by the Desert Land Hoard in fixing tho lien on tho lands was taken by him ns a step toward tho desired result. As soon as liti gation between the Irrigation com pany and a llvo stock company over water rights can bo settled, it Is ex pected that tho project will bo com pleted. Other Districts Proposed. Other proposed districts, not on the lino of tho 0. C & E. us at pres ent announced, but of Importance In contributing to tho prospeilty of Cen tral Oregon r.nd, Incidentally, there fore to its railroads, aro tho Ochoco district near Prlncvillo n'nd the so called North Unit, comprising a largo portion of Jefferson county. The question of tho formation of tho Ochoco district comes before tho Crook county court on December 10 at which time an election on the question will undoubtedly bo ordered. Tho lands Included In tho district are In tho Immedlnto neighborhood or Prlncvillo nnd tho pcoplo of tho city nro taking considerable Interest in seeing tho project tako shape. Tho North Unit. Tho North Unit Irrigation district In Its slzo, cost and engineering feat ures is ono of tho largest over pro posed In Oregon, ond will show up well In comparison with other largo projects' elsowhero in tho United States. Water for tho Irrigation of the project, according to tho plan propos ed by tho engineers of tho co-opcr-atlvo Deschutes survoy, will bo stor ed by a dam at Ilcnham Falls nnd ono at Cruno Prolrlo. At Aubroy falls, below tho town of Tumalo, It will bo diverted by a high diversion dam nnd thenco cnrrlcd by canal across tho Crooked rlvor and onto tho lands of tho project. Tho project Includes npproxlmatoly 100,000 acres and tho cost of recla mation Is estimated to bo $5,519,000 or $5B.S8 per aero. A potltlon for tho formation of tho district Is now being circulated. Tho City of Uend has ono especial Interest In tho proposition nsldo from that of seeing tho country dovoloped In that It would Insure a steady and oven Mow of water by tho town dur ing tho summer months during which tho storago reservoir nbovo town would bo drawn upon. Tho O. O. I. Project. In n rccont communication mndo by O. Laurganrd to tho Desert Land Hoard tho district Idoa is suggested as a means of working out and ad justing tho dimcultics now exictlng between tho settlers on tho C. O. I. project nnd tho company. Tho plan contemplates tho elimination of tho company and tho dovolopmont of all lands In tho vicinity of llond and to ( tho north and.caat which hnvo been I sot iftddo for Irrigation dovolopmont. Another Irrigation plan Is that Just announced from La Pine where a new company hns recently purchased tho Prlngle Falls power plant. Tho plans of tho company, as stat ed by tho La Pino Intorniountnln, nro to supply power for Irrigation of tho Ln Pino basin and also light nnd pow er for manufacturing purposes In tho town of La Pine. DEND DEATSJED1ND 6-0 Locals Slowed Up ami Score Only Once on Forward Puss Tvnni Was Over Confident. Tho Rend high school football team defeated tho Hedmond eleven on Its own grounds last Saturday by a scoro of C to 0, but It was n muu'i different looking and fighting team than the ono that was defeated tho previous Saturday by a scoro of 39 to 0. From reports coming both from members of tho team and Coach Whlto of tho Bond high school, Rond was overconfident nnd did not play up to Its regular standard. Bond's only touchdown came In tho first quarter after tho ball had been worked down tho field on straight football. Hunnell, Ilend'B left tncklo laid out on tho end nnd Young shot a long well directed forwnrd pass Hunnell carried tho ball 20 yards and was downed Just voro tho coal lino. Goal was not kicked. During tho major part of the gamo tho ball was In Redmond's territory, and only onco wero tho Redmond lads in a position to scoro. Tho ball had been pushed down tho field with Red mond's heavy backs plugging holes In tho Rend defense When tho ball had been advanced within ono foot of tho goal lino, tho ball was lost on downs. Rond was dangerous sovoral times, but costly fumbles and slow fluid work kept them from scoring again. Rend was frequently penaliz ed for offside Tho reorganized Redmond team played strong football throughout, Duvall, who played tacklo In tho Rond-Redmond gamo played horo was transferred to right half and caused tho Rend dofonso considerable trouble. Tho crucial gamo of tho season for tho three Crook county Bchools will bo played next Saturday in Rend when tho Rend cloven meets Prlno vllle Prlncvillo has not plnyod slnco Its gamo with Rend nt Prlnc villo, and bbth toams hnvo been con siderably strengthened slnco Uint time, Rond Position Redmond Gorton 1. o. r. . . .Stolnkoph Hunnell 1. 1. r Mnlarkoy Rongoy 1. g. r Dlsnoy Ordway c Ricks Horner r. g. 1. . . .VnnAllcn Royd r. t.
