Reclamation Projects
FROM OIIKGON VOTER
The following article bv E. G.
llopson, a well known reclamation
engineer, npptared In last week's Is
sue of the Oregon Voter. Suggest
ing, as It docs, a plan for the devel
opment of several of tho irrigation
districts of this stction It U of es

The Investigation ol Irrigation pro
jects In Oregon by tin Reclamation
Sorvlco In co-oporatbn with the
state, started some to or three
years, Is now practical completed,
and entirely so as regada tho erea
iVnown as Central Oregon.coroprialng

likely to w required In futuro t pcra
ttons. Now projects In tho Deschutes

or which have not yet been organiz

Steps have recently been taken to
organize tho North nnd Ochoco Units
ns Irrigation districts, and about two
years ago, an aborttvo attempt was
mado to securo federal assistance In
building tho West and North Canal
Units. Tho .situation is now prnc
tlcally a deadlock, owing to tho rel
atively high cost of theso projects,
tho serious complications Involved In
reservoir storage for their ubc, nnd
the practical Impossibility of financ
ing now work of this kind.
It Is doubtful If nnyone has serious
expectation of financing any Irriga
tion district In this vicinity under ex
isting conditions. Recent activity in
distrct organization Is probably large
ly based on the hopo that the State
or possibly tho nation, or both, will
got back of district Irrigation bonds
In tho nenr futuro and thorohy en
able tho work to commence
Tho plans for developing this pro
ject ns outlined In tho co-opemtlvo
roports indlcnto cortnln feasible
methods of construction.
These plans nro not, however, In
tended to bo considered as final In
every respect, nor ns precluding fur
thor consideration or modification.
To n largo ctent they nro bnBod on
tho Idea of Including as largo an area
ns posslblo under tho canals for rea
sons of general public wolfaro.
Thore 1b Btrong probability that
advantageous modifications of tho
general concept can bo Introduced,
possibly Including rearrangement of
tho supply system of sonic localities,
or changes In tho slzo of tho units,
nnd perhaps somewhat different
methods of construction, Hint may
render tho work much moro feaslblo
and attractive than tho co-opornttvo
report indlcntes.
Tho desirability of early develop
ment of nearly a quarter of a million
acres on tho Deschutes Project will
bo admitted without discussion
That this territory when Irrigated at
a reasonably low coBt by a depend
able systomi of works, will bo sottled
within a rcaBonnblo period may also
bo assumed with certainty.
The ono question at Issuo Is that
of ways and means.
Regarding theso, It may also bo as
sumed thcro Is no hopo In proceduro
under tho Carey Act; In fact much
of this land Is already Included In
Caroy Act segregations, tho organiz
ers of which havo boon unablo to
further flnnnco the work.
Public attention appears, at this
time, to be concentrating around tho
Irrigation district plun, coupled wih
state or Government aid, or both.
This irrigation district plan ap
pears to offer more real ground for
hopo of tho early utilization of Ore
gon's vacant land than any othor, and
If this hopo ultimately proves baso
less, It seeniB certain that great ar
eas of the Interior must remain al
most profitless tor many years.
The Deschutes Iiasl.: Is, however,
somowhnt peculiar, In that Its many
Irrigation projects aro bo correlated
as regards water supply, that Indi
vidual action In project development
is hnrdly posslblo.
The present low wator flow of tho
stream Is already used or appropriat
ed for uso by projects now In courso
of development; now projects must,
therefore, mainly depend on n wator
supply from reservoirs; this In turn
Involves heavy construction oxpenso
nnd committments boyond the scopo
of any singlo unit or project.
Par Instance, btorugo Is proposed
principally at two largo reservoirs In
the upper Doscl utcn, one at Ilenham
Palls, the othor at Frane Prairie.
This storage Is very cheap when con
sidered In reference to all the Irri
gation development proposed In the
Deschutes Ilasln, but from tho nat
ure of tho situation It Is evident
theso reservoirs cannot bo developed
piecemeal, nor even can they be ceo
nomically used for a single project
without reference to others.
Thus, even if wo had legislation In
forco today enabling tho State or Na-j
tlon to lend its credit to back Irriga
tion district bonds of those projects.
It would still be a very difficult or I
perhaps Impossible thins sr any pro-j
Ject to go ahead and develop Its otor-i
ago In the absence, of collective ac
tion. A close study or the physical situ
ation Indicated by data prepared la
the co-oporatlve Investigation reveals
tho probable fact that not less than
three of these units can ndvanag
eously uso a common diversion dam
and main canel. Theso are tho North
Unit, The Ochoco Unit and the North
Canal Unit.
A single canal starting from the
Deschutes river near Rend and ex
tending easterly and northerly to
the Crooked river will place these

ttppor Deschutes In order to cnablo
the canal to bo filled. Such n canal
will cost about 11,250,000.
With such n main supply system
provided, tho North Unit will moroly
have to contlnuo a canal across tho
Crooked river to supply its lands,
tho Ochoco system can bo fed by a
branch canal and siphon across
Crooked rlvor nenr Prlnovlllo, and
tho North Canal Unit will merely
havo to build n system of distribut
ing laterals.
Under present conditions each In
dividual unit tins to copo with tho
situation individually, and Ib prac
tically helpless. If, however, tho
State, of tho Government, or both,
should build this main canal oys
loin, It will moan tho successful or
ganization of nil theso projects. It
appears to be, therefore, distinctly n
stnto or a Government enterprise
Tho storngo works proposed nt
Donlinin Palls nnd Crano Pratrlo aro
estimated to cost about $1,400,000;
owing, howovor, to reduced pi Ices of
land and construction that now pre
vail, It appears likely that rctual
costs will fall far below this amount.
Thero nro thus two central fea
tures that should bo built and oper
ated by tho State or Government, bo
Ing boyond tho scopo of Individual
action nnd Involving n grosB cost of
nbout $2,600,000 and nn annual In
terest chnrgo of 4 per cent of about
$100,000, or nbout 45 conts pel
r.cro, If ovonly distributed on tho land
to bo benefitted.
This cxpenso need not all bo In
curred nt onco. Tho canal must of
courso bo built entirely to bo avail
ablo for uso, but tho storngo reser
voirs need bo developed only as re
quired. Thus for years tho Crano Pralrlo
resorvolr will probably kcop abreast
of tho roqulromients without nocd for
tho reservoir at Ilenham Falls.
Probably not to exceed $1,500,000
for canal and resorvolr need bo ox
ponded during tho next ten years;
tho chnrgo for Interest should not,
thoreforo, exceed 30 conts per tcro.

At tho dato when tho Ilenham
Falls reservoir Is needed, tho agri
cultural development of this region
should havo advanced to n point
whero tho additional burden of 15
cents per ncro will bo unimportant.
If this reservoir r.nd main cr.nnl bo
built by tho Stnto or Government,
tho various units dependent there
on will then havo to llnnnco tho re
maining work, which will probably
cost ns fellows, for canal and dis
tributing laterals:
North Unit, about $30 to $35
West Unit, about $32 to $34
South Unit, nbout $50
North Cnnnl Unit, about $15
Ochoco Unit, about $25 to $29
. All (of theso amounts, oxcopt for
tho South Unit, nro rolntlvoly low,
and tho work remaining to bo doner
consists mainly of distributing can
als and Is simply and quickly oxo
cutcd. With Stnto or Federal aided
bonds, thcro Bhould bo no difficulty
on tho part of tho several districts
completing tho Bystoms nnd placing
their land undor irrigation.
Tho construction of this trunk
canal nnd reservoir systomi practical
ly means unlocking tho door of tho
Deschutes country to development.
Without Bomo such action nothing
seems humanly poailblo. With It nn
accomplished fact, thoro Is no sorlous
obHtablo In tho way of each unit go
ing ahead ns soon ns It Is rendy.
Tho work Is too largo and too com
plicated for any ono projoct or unit
to handlo; It must bo a stato or fed

nny moans n dlfllcult project for
theso agencies; tho amount Indorsed
