COMMITTEE OF TEN TO KEEP FAITH WITH CHIEF Develop Power to Irrigate Land Outside Present District; To Gather Data at Once. Tho "Commlttoo of Ton compos ed ofthat number of business men of DuriiB, who woro thu real liuck bouo of tho ncuceesH of tho timber nnd railroad development now under construction in Harney and Grant counties, has "broko out" again. Thotiu men tiro behind a movement for further development that means much to tho future ngrlculturo or Harney valley on a plan that will In no wiso detract or Interfere with thu irrigation district plans, but an thu other hand will stimulate the cause. At n meeting of tho same group of men hold on Wednesday night thu plan wns launched to iitlVnct cap Hal to this field to bring oluotrlr. power I ro tu thu Warm Springs-dam to utilise tbe underground wntur of Harney vulluy In Irrigating a big ami of laud oulsido of thu bound ary Unci of tho present Irrigation Mstrict.

Tho Warm Springs Irrigation dis trict needs help. It has been making u desperate oiTrt to Induce tho government to aid It by enlarging the distribution of the excosa water to other lauds that may bo brought under Its Impounding dam nnd dis tribution syMtem iu order to lighten thu load. It would wolnomo nny iiebumu that would add to Its revo lt uu to roduoo thu expense of thn prestuit ryslum. Tbo government is dlroctly Inter ested In flonio 20,000 acres of what. is uonildorud tho host aglroultural land lu Marnuy valley In Indian al lotments. It Is tho doslru to dlnposo of this land for the benefit of tho Indians but thvro's no demand for II at any reasonable price under prosont existing conditions; with water for irrigation theto lands may bo disputed or ut a price that would TuHlUy. A power lino from tho Wurm Springs dam to ilaruoy valley In pronounced entirely renslblo and can bo constructed for a reasonnblo amount.

In addition to this power unit more can bo dovolopod from government power sites withdrawn in tho Stoln'H Mountain, tho north Fork of tho Mainour, Emigrant creek and lator tho Impounding dams on Sllvios river.
