Report from Halcm That To Unlui
of Central Oregon Irrigation Co.
Aro Working In Ifnrmony
Not Hubstantlntcd.
(8cUI to Ttw Bulletin.)
SALEM, Oct. C. Reports roach
Ing mombors of tho desert land board
from tho Deschutes valley seem to
Indicate that the Central Oregon
Irrigation district and tho North.
Unit irrigation district ot the Central
Oregon Irrigation company aro work
ing In harmony on tho proposal to
take over tho properties of the irri
gatlon company and that If the tlmo
becomes propitious thoy may act In
unison Jn overdoing tho option held
by tho North Unit people
Tho history ot tho proposal seema
to bo that tho matter was first put
up to, or considered toy, tho Central
Oregon district and It was decided
by that district that It was a little
too big a chunk to swallow at the
time. The North Unit people, how
ever, determined to securo the Op
tion, and did. For a tlmo this mors
created somo friction between tho
two and It Is reported that some ot
the Central Oregon peoplo were In
clined to resent It. However, the
two parties seem to bo working har
moniously now and in oront the deal
finally goes through It probably will
bo with the consont and the assist
ance ot the Central Oregon district.
It Is generally conceded tbat the
larger plan of floating a JE, 000,008
bond Issue and going ahead with, the
Immense construction work tbat has
been visualized as a part of tho fn
turo ot Contral Oregon, Is not feas
ible or possible under present con
ditions. Ono of tho conditions at
tached to tho purchaso is the ap
proval by tho capital Issues commlt
teo ot tho Issue and tho committee
will not give such approval. This
is a foregono conclusion. However,
it Is possible that tho amount needed
to actually exorclso tho option, say
$700,000, might bo Issued and turned
over to tho Central Oregon company
In the shapo of bonds without oppo
sition from tho capital Issues com
mittee. Such a deal would Involve I
neither cash, labor nor materials, thai
threo Items tho capital Issues com
mltteo was created to conserve
Whatever Is dono tho attitude of
tho desert land board, from what can
bo gathered from Individual mem
bers, will bo to protect the Central
Oregon Irrigation district and tho
North Unit district as woll.
Thoso who havo followod tho Cen-
tral Oregon situation closely fror
hero say that tbo deal probably would
bo vastly beneficial to both districts
and much more so If the two would
work In harmony. By a Joint ac
tlon tho Central Oregon district could
take what it wishes, and glva to thi
North Unit what It does not need
and which Is tho very portion ot tin
project that tho North Unit needs
If the larger construction work;
goes through the logical headquarl
ters for such construction worl
would bo Bend, It Is pointed out, am
tho logical headquarters tor th
wholo system would bo at Bend an
might even mean tho moving ot th
headquarters directly Into Bone
rathor than leaving It at Deschutes;
Tho only reason It might bo loft
Deschutes Is the fact that tho build
ings aro thero, and this Is cousiderel
a minor ono.
Tho desert land board has ai
proved a request to tho tedoral goi
orumeut for au Investigation into til
construction ot tho Benham Full
roservolr and also has agreed
mako an investigation rolatlvo
seepago losses on tho Central Orl
gon projoct and to Investigate til
possibilities ot tho reclamation
tho lower end ot tho Tumnlo projel
with water from the Deschutes rlvil
Thoso proposals aro moro or less ll
directly linked up with the plan
tho settlers ot tho North Unit
tako ovor tho project.
Word reaching mombors ot tl
board is to tbo effect that the CtJ
tral Orogon district and tho Nor
Unit district will act as a wholo
this move and that no particular cl
trovorsy, or grounds for confrQynM
now oxist. Members here suem
