tion Made Last Summer by Professor Cros
by to Be Basis for Irrigation of 100,000
Acres of Land.
SALEM, May (J. A favorable report, on the, feasi
bility of the Benjium falls reservoir site in Deschutes
county by Professor W. O. Crosby, geological engineer,
who was employed to make a survey of the site, is fore
casted in a telegram received here by State Engineer
Percy A. Cupper from the United States reclamation
service. The telegram states that the report will be
completed on May 15.
This means that construction work on the reservoir,
the largest project of the kind ever attempted in Oregon,
will be started this summer, according to state engi
neering department officials, and will involve an ex
penditure of .$1,821,000.
The survey conducted by Professor Crosby last sum
mer included a thorough examination not OHly of the
proposed site at Bcnham falls, but of the geological for
mations 'of Central Oregon, while numerous borings in
the Deschutes basin above the contemplated location of
the dam, which will impound the rivers surplus flow,
were made to ascertain the water-holding properties of
the soil and rock.
Indications that the report would be favorable were
given at the time of the last state irrigation congress,
in a wire received by T. II. Foley, retiring president of
the Commercial club, from Professor Crosby, but no in
timation was given at that time that construction work
micht bo expected this summer.
According to tentative plans, the water impounded
at Bcnham falls could irrigate a minimum, of 100,000
acres. '

Another step toward the diver

The purchase follows recent sur

According to tentative plans, a whur

By increasing tho flow of tha
