(Special.) 31ouso Dill No. 170, Introduced by O. Luurganrd, passed tlio IIoubo this Afternoon, after boliiK recommended by the. joint ways and means com anlttecs. Tho bill appropriates $10, 000 for Investigating tho cause of leaks In tho reservoir of tho Tumalo irrigation project, and authorizes that ns tho maximum cxpondlturo for remedying tho existing defects. Laurganrd bollovcs that tho .amount will sufflco, nlthough $25, 000 was originally estimated by tho measure. , Tho bill also lengthens tho tlmu of payment on contracts for from 10 to 20 years. Tho Tumalo bill was introduced early in tho bcbsIou of tho lcglsla niiro and was at first looked on as having oxcollent chances for passage J.uter, as It was hold-off until among tho last to bo acted on, and as pro ceeding appropriations on other hills depleted tho funds available It was ifcared oven by Its most ardent back ers that nothing could bo dono until .anothor session of tho legislature Development Pi-CMiRCd. Tho passago of tho bill by tho Houso, oven with tho reduced appro priation, Is regarded as an almost certain indication of its final pass age, and will mean tho dovolopmont of a largo territory In Central Ore gon, "which up to this tlmo has boon Tctardod by tho Ineffectiveness of tho reservoir systom.

Tho situation of tho Paisley project, and what success In tho appeal from Judgo Daly's decision will moan also being described. SILVER LAKE, Or.. Fob. 12. Tho Dcnd Bulletin, Dond Oregon: Tho Silver Lako irrigation project deals with Irrigation and water powor possibilities ot tho Silver Lako re gion, Lako county, Oregon, together with reclamation of Sliver and Paul ina marsh. Tho principal dovolopmont Is tho irrigation by Btorago and gravity water supply for somo 16,000 acres SILVER LAKE IR PAULIfAUNlT &piVM'v " VV 111 I &&PL JitrrySy wJ: ,,.' Wi Owners of Land in One Unit Aro Already Seeking to Form Irrigation District. in tho vicinity ot tho town ot Silver Lako, and about 32,000 acres near Fort Rock, Fremont and Arrow, which lie north and oast ot tho Stl vor Lako valley. This project can bo completed as a wholo or In sop arato units. Tho Silver Lnko unit Is tho only ono that has takon dof Inlto form. Tho ownors of tho land In this unit propoao to trrlgato their land undor tho district Irrigation plan, and havo taken tho first step necessary to organization of such n district. Tho pctttlon has bcon cir culated and signed by a good ma jority ot tho land ownors, and after bolng advertised tho required longth ot tlmo will bo prcsonted to tho coun ty court of Lake county, on tho day ot March, for further action by tho court. This unit comprises about 7000 acres ot entirely now trrlgablo land and about 8000 acres of land that has a partial water right, and according to tho U. S. govornmont report wll lcost $31.25 por acre Af ter tho govornmont engineers had complotod tholr surveys and mado tholr roport, tho owners ot tho land in this unit scured tho services ot a competent engineer and, after a thor ough investigation, his report showed a cost ot only $16.60 per acre. Somo minor changos wore mado, and the cost ot tho land that It would bo necessary to condemn was found to bo far below the govornmont fig ures. So taking tho two reports into consideration, this is ono ot tho cheapest projects 111 tho state. The storing of the waters that flow Into Sliver Lake wilt almost dry tho lake up, and as there are more than 10,000 acres In tho lake bed, this will add an additional amount of some of the richest farm land In Oregon. Out under tho present law a district organization cannot ro cetvo any benefit from tho reclaim ing ot such lands. There is, however, a law in tho Btatuto books ot Oregon which per mits a private Individual or corpora tion to secure a portion ot the pro ceeds of tho sale of such reclaimed state land, tho salo to bo under tho supervision of the stato land board. Now, in Justlco between man and man, should not an organization of citizens and taxpayers bo entitled to the samo advantago7 Tho lako bed as It Is at present Is of no value to the state or any ono else, but if reclaimed, and sold to actual settlors at 'a reasonable price It would add many thousands ot dollars to the state school fund, and the portion that in Justice shm be allowed to irrigation districts, hero or any place in the state, would help to pay for the construction of the irrigation systom. Once in the memory ot the older citizens of 811- j ver Lake valley, the lake was almost dry, and that year It was proven that different kinds of grain could be Central Oregon raised, ot tho very best quality and an immenso yiold. Tho Straliorn Railroad Project. Tho success of tho Silver Lnko Ir rigation project means much to tho ultlmato success of tho Straliorn rnllroad systom. Railroad companies need freight and passenger traffic to mako them successful, nnd pay a profit to tho many hundreds of hold ers of stock who aro willing to risk their monoy in tho building of Buch a railroad system as Is proposed by Robert E. Straliorn. When tho lands undor tho Silver Lako project begin to yield tho Immenso extra tonnngo that will result from such irrigation, It wilt naturally follow theft tho bus iness of tho railroad will Incrcaso very much. Also many other unde veloped resources can bo brought RIGATION PROJECT ''$8&rw vie ' about, such ns creameries, sawmills, box factories, sugar boot raising, mineral properties, and numerous othor business enterprises that can bo undertaken only nfter Irrigation and transportation aro an established reality. . Tho pooplo hero arp going to do all In their powor to mako tho Irrl gatlon project, and tho building ot tho Straliorn rnllroad a success with out any further delay. Wo aro vory fortunnto In tho way tho dlfforont surveys ot tho proposed railroad run through Silver Lnko valloy, in fnct thoy could not bo located bettor. Our three, nearest shipping points at present nro Bend, Klnmnth Falls and Lnkevlow, all about equal distances from Silver Lake Tho surveys as completed como togothor horo at Sil ver Lako Insldo of tho corporato lim its, nnd mako of this placo n Junction and will glvo as good shipping ad vantages as wo could possibly ask for. Wo havo been for years, and are still, dealing wltlt Portland as our trading point, and feel buto that tho business interests of Portland will do all thoy possibly can to as sist us, and at tho same tlmo help themselves. Tho pooplo of this valley are will ingly donating right of way and sta tion grounds, as thoy fully roallzo the great advantago railroad trans portation will glvo thorn. 1'ulsley Appcul Meant Much. Tho success ot tho appeal that has been takon by what Is known as tho Paisley. Project, means much to ua of Sllvor Lake, and to tho whole of Central Oregon. An appeal baa been taken from a decision made by tho Hon. B. Daly, circuit Judge ot Lako county, In which ho gave 3.9 acre foot of wator to the Chewancan Land nnd Cattle Company, and a tow oth er lesser land holdors. This wo feol Is not only unjust, but, well, It looks vory queer. Congress, through tho act of 1860, granted to tho Stato ot Oregon all of the unappropriated swamp land within her bordors. By vlrtuo of this grant tho Chowaucan Land and Cattle Company, or Its predecessors, secured title to n large tract of swamp land. Tho conditions of this grant required that this swamp land should bo reclaimed. Where this has not been done, if the law had been fully enforced and Justice meted out to tho purchasers of such land, It would havo been taken away from them. W. Lair Thompson, In his argu ment before the State Water Board, May 10, 1915, in speaking of the Chewaucan Valley, said, "Ool Al mighty made It a stock country," Right you are, Mr. Thompson, He did, and tho same aa all of Eastern Oregon. He mado a good stock coun try out of it. He made bogs, that Is, human hogs. Tho natural condition of many parts ot Central and Eastern Oro gon, aro such that a largo part of tho seml-arld lauds can bo irrigated nt a reasonable cost. All wo need Is laws that aro fair and Just to all, and with such laws, Central and Eastern Oregon will soon bo devoloped to such an extent that it will surprlso tho most optimistic. During, or about tho tlmo tho Paisley case was boforo tho circuit court last summer, in a conversation, ono of tho em ployes of tho Chowaucan Land and Cnttlo Company romnrked that, theso wator suits had boon In tho courts a great deal, nnd that somoono was going to bo broke and that It would not bo the ZX people, cither. Now this Is Just ono of many examples whero wealthy Individuals or cor porations havo an ndvantago ovor pcoplo who cnu not afford to spoud tho monoy necessary to defend tholr rights. It tho Paisley appeal goos to tho supreme court on tho ovi denco that has already boon given, It will bo fair to both sides, but It a rehearing Is granted, then the ox ponso will pllo up higher, and as tho Individual nbovo reforred to said, someone may go broke Wo aro suro that tho Hon. B. Daly knows only too woll that alfalfa can bo, and 1b, grown on laud Just llko that in cluded In tho Paisley project, for ho has told us what wondortul dovolop mont this county would havo it tho wnsto water should bo proporly con served, and placed upon tho thous ands of acres ot sagebrush land, and with tho wonderful knowlodgo that our ox-Judgo Daly has ot this coun try, wo aro at a loss to know why such n decision was given. Now, wo will sny In conclusion that tho fu- turo dovolopmont ot Central nnd Enstoru Oregon to Its fullest cxtont dopondB upon Irrigation and trans portation, and wo liopo that every ono will take into consideration tho Importance ot tho vital propositions that' mean bo much to tho futuro ot Oregon, nnd wo earnestly hopo that the decision of tho circuit court of this county In tho Paisley project case will ho reversed, not only on ac of that project, but for tho futuro wclfaro ot nil Oregon.
