(From Friday's Dally.)
BALKM, July 10. Directors of flic

rights In tho 70,000-acro Carey net
project near Kedrnond and Hend for
$70:1.000, according to Htato Kngl
iioct John If. Lowls, who has Just
returned from a meeting with In
torentcd parties at Madras, where thu
dial wan negotiated.
,M Whether tho deal will bo finally
consummated is contingent upon
whether thu north unit district ob
tains certification from tho state se
curities commission of tho proposed
bond Ibcuo and also obtains approval
ot tho capital Issues commlttco tor
tho Issusnco of bonds. Uut Htato
Engineer Lewis expressed confidence
In tho plans of tho district and be
lieves they will result In much
groator development In Central Ore
gon. . "North unit comprises 100,000
acres nonr Madras, Metollus and
Culver, now being cultivated by dry
farming methods," said State Engi
neer Lewis. "Water for Irrigation
can bo had by storage In tho pro
posed Ilonham Falls "reservoir, 1C
miles south ot Hend. This Is tho
cheapest and best storage on tho De
schutos rlvor and Is cnpablo ot sup
plying more than 200,000 acres ot

In north unit, there are approximately

acres In tho north canal project noar
Iledmond and 15,000 acres of prlvato
land- near I'rinovlllc, which should
como under this reservoir.
)"Au understanding, with the north
unit will eliminate 'tho Central Ore
gon company operating for a profit,
leaving tho settlors In this- basin In
n position to secure Irrigation at
cost, if the various districts can agroo
among themselves as to tho proper
distribution ot the cost ot the reser
voir water. Directors of the north
unit fol hopeful of working out the
Iotro 200,000-ocro project, for which
plans wore preparod by tho state and
U. S. reclamation service In co-oporn-tlon.
"It Is tho hopo of tho directors
that tho Hood water supply can bo
had In tho near futuro, leaving tho
reservoir feature until soma timo in
tho futuro.
"Thoy propose, howover, to do
everything possible to eliminate com
plications so that a clean slate may
bo prosented to tho governmout,
should fodoral credit be made avail
able as a rocoiiHtructlon measure.
Falling In this, It Is tho hope of the
