THE DAHIC SIDE
The tlrirk side of tho North Unit
Irrigation. plan Is sot forth in tho fol
lowing article In the Oregon Voter.
"$i 191 -I the cost of completing
the North Unit Irrigation project of
99,300 ncres, as estimated by tha
United States reclamation service co
operating, with the office of tho state"
englneor,iwas $5,519,500. This gives
an per aire charge of J55.5S. Tho
recent proposal of the North Unit Ir
rlgation district board, In conjunc
tion .'with a syndicate, of bankers nnd
bond houses, which has twice been
turned down by the state irrigation
securities commission, called for.a
bond Issue of $5,000,000.
"It is 'not unreasonable to expect
that the 1914 cost, which Is an esti
mated cost, not n cost-plus contract
cost, would be less than actual cost
of constructing this system of dams
and ditches In 1922-23. Tho details
of this government estimate of cost
can bo found on page 136 of a report
on the "Deschutes Project," one of
tho series,' "Oregon Cooperative
Work."
"So much for the cost. Let L. A.
Young, who has "dry" farmed for 21
years four miles north of Madras, tell
about the value of the land. Mr.
Young, whose gnarled and hardened
hands attest the fact that he has
fought hard to raise and educate his
family of eight children, is strongly
opposed to tho North Unit project.
He does not believe it is Justified,
from either tho standpoint of demand
from the majority of permanent set
tlers affected, nor on the basis of
actual value behind the bonds, once
.they are issued.
"The halt section of winter wheat
land farmed by Mr. Young is assessed
at $10 an acre. He claims a con
servative estimate of its value is $15
to $20 an acre. There are large tracts
In this district, Mr. Young states,
though equally as fertile, cannot be
credited with even this low' per acre
value dUd' to poor farming and the
short growing season which this sec
tion of Central Oregon enjoys.
"Yet on the basis of the 1914 costs
of the project the per acre debt would
be $55.58. ' While there may be some
land of slightly more value, it Is.
equally certain that there Is at least
10,000 acres which have a market
value, much below the land farmed by
Mr. Young. This leaves S9,300 acres
to bear the cost of the construction
work, or $61.80 an acre, based on the
1914 estimated cost.
"These per acre values are based
upon theicrop return from the land.
What chance, therefore, has the own
er to wrest an income from the soli
which Is carrying a debt of; four or
five tinges its value. With some of
tho acrs carrying this load practical
ly worthless, non-irrigable land, in
capable of bearing its share of the
cost of the Irrigation system, those
Tho foregoing nrtlclo seems to bo
unduly pesslmlstlcln that ,no allow-
anco ts m rul o for tha Increased value
that will bo given to tho laud by
bringing water to it. If the land In
question la now worth from $1R to
$20 an acre, It will undoubtedly'' bo
worth $S0 to $100 nn acre when Irrl
gated.
FROM PRKSIDENT OR AY
llend' chief Interest In the sltun
tlon created by tho unmorglng of tho
Southern and tho Central l'nclllc Is
based on thu results that may follow
In the way of railroad construction
south or east. Wo have pointed this
out bbfore nnd called attention to
the possibility that Union I'aclllc con
trol of tho Central might mean to
Ilend a loss of tho direct lino cast
to Crnno for which it has always.
hoped.
Confirmation of this understanding
is f bund in n messago received by Tho"
Bulletin from Carl R. Gray, president
of tho Union Pacific, in answer to n
question submitted to Mr. Gray as to
his company's plans for construction
out of Ilend In Case It secured tho
Central Pacific.
The telegram appears elsewhere In
this paper.
Mr. Gray's frank statement makes
the matter very clear. Whether a
line is built from Odell to Ontario
depends on the relation tho Union
may have to western Oregon tratllc.
If It gets the Central, It will have a
direct connection. If tho Southern
gets the Central, there will be no rea
son for tho Union to mako a connec
tion at Odell, unless It can be assured
of a good share of the western Ore
gon traffic, and that would seem un
likely. Again, if the Southern gets
the Central, tho Union is more likely
to build east from Rend and possibly
go after western Oregon traffic by a
line through tho Minto pass, said to
be 500 feet lower than tho Nntron.
If the Union gets tho Central, tha
direct connection from Rend to Crane
seems improbable.
As a purely selfish matter. It seems
to us that Rend may wall favor the
retention of tho Central by tho South
ern. This should ultimately assure
the direct line east. Another, moro
constructive method of securing the
line would bo to collect figures show
ing the traffic to bo expected from
Bend and other points in this vicin
ity, including the diatomlte mine at
Lower Rridgc, and other possible
sawmill centers. These submitted to
the Union Pacific officials might aid
In influencing their decision. The
collection of such figures should be
actively undertaken by the Commer
cial club, either through its recently
appointed' railroad committee or by
a special body.
REMOVE THE DANGER
Although Bend's Fourth of July
Injuries and damage were light, they
amounted to enougn to raise the
question whether it would not be do
slrable to take steps to prevent Just
that sort of thing another year. A
child was burned when playing with
a spark making device; the returns
from such things, either In profit to
those who sell them or pleasure to
those who use them could never re
pay for the life or that child bad Its
burns been fatal. And how simple
It would have been for thosq bums
to have been fatal, or for another
child to lose its life next year from
