In addition they must realise that our lands. If Irrigated, will bo in demand. 1A friend of this scctoln has re- Gently -written a letter to Represon "ifatlvo Slnnott setting forth facts iml "argument as to why Irrigation de velopment should be undertaken at lonce a letter so Interesting and convincing In Its argument that wo 'present It hero In fuH. ' , ".My dear Mr. SlnuotU "I am enclosing herewith somo letters which may bo of Interest to you because they camo from tho stato of Oregon and relato to a sub flject which Is engaging the attoh ftlon of tho whole country today, i that Is, with respect to land cultlvn- !jtioa, and tho demand for land fo cul tivate. Theso letters camo to mo in answer to a small advertisement In serted several times in the classified advertising columns of Tho Bond JtBulIetin, offering irrigated land :cr 'rent. "As you know, nine years ago, line section of Oregon from which ;theso letters came was one hundred miles from the nearest railroad sta tion.- In the fall of 1911 the first train ran Into Bend, and from that lime to this present time the people of Central Oregon have been asking tho government for aid In the way of appropriations with which to Ir rigate the thousands of acres of land that are not under irrigation, but that can be Irrigated and for -which there will be Just as much demand aathcre Is now for the lit tle thirty-three acre tract with tho billions of gallons of -water that are flowing frbhi the Deschutes river In to, and down the Columbia to help Bwell thei Pacific ocean that Japan's ships may carry freight to and from the 'western coast of the United states. "I left Central Oregon In the fall of 191Q. The dry farmers at that time were paying the government woutd soon have tho waters of he Deschutes corralled nnd led devloua ways4 through' the fertile valleyB.

The owners of ' land under the Central Oregon Irrigation 'Company's ditches are not getting sufficient water for growing crops when most needed, and will not get It until the govern ment comes to their aid. "If some of the members of cor Kress from the east, south and cen tral west, who have never seenu ir rigated districts, could'bo "ho-ded" together nnd shipped out of Wash ington, even at government expense, into any of the states where irriga tion is nt its best, or even fair as in Central Oregon, and note the differ ence in tho crops of the man who has water nnd the man who Is dry farming In the same immediate neighborhood, appropriations would be forthcoming for those Irrigation projects which can not be consid ered experiments, nnd more good would come to the country than from any of the numorous Investi gations' thnt have heretofore been made.
