Page Twelve Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Thursday, October 5, 1939 Reclamation Now Of Interest on Statewide Basis Reclamation is no longer of merely sectional interest in Oregon, judging by the large attendance from all parts of the state at the annual con vention of the Oregon Reclamation congress held at Clatskanie early in September. Instead of being considered mere ly in connection with large irriga tion projects reclamation now in cludes such matters as summer ir rigation on a farm basis in western Oregon or elsewhere, drainage of irrigated valleys in eastern Oregon as well as the wet lands of the Wil lamette valley, and, in addition, it 1 means the reclamation of logged-off lands. Approximately 1500 people heard Governor Charles A. Sprague dis cuss these questions at a community wide barbecue sponsored bv Clat skanie. Both Governor Sprague and Dean William A. Schoenfeld of Ore gon State college emphasized the growing importance of logged-off land reclamation for grazing, refor estation, and fish and game produc tion. John C. Page, U. S. commissioner of reclamation, said that western de velopments add to the wealth and provide for replacement of consum able national resources. Most oro jects now have a multiple purpose, with greater interest in flood con trol and fish and game conservation, he said. Resolutions adopted by the con gress urged a larger acreage allot ment of sugar beets for irrigation projects, endorsed the work of the United States engineers on the lower Columbia and Willamette basins, en dorsed the work of the bureau of reclamation on the Deschutes pro ject, urged continuation of feasi bility studies and use of snow sur veys, and endorsed the use of CCC camps on federal irrigation and fed eral aid drainage projects. Frank T. Morgan of Nyssa was re elected president and Dr. W. L. Powers, O. S. C, secretary-treasurer. George T. Cochran of La Grande was chosen vice-president at-large; Reed Carter, Grants Pass, vice-president for the first district; John W. Mohr, Hood River, vice president, second district; and B. T McBain, Portland, vice-president, third district. Neal Allen of Grants Pass and B. E. Hayden, Klamath Falls, were named other directors Klamath Falls was chosen for next year's convention. talia and another 25,000-bushel pri vate elevator is located at the same point. Port of Arlington has a bulk elevator at Blalock. Improved boat construction is one of the best criteria of the forward movement of transportation on the river. From development thus far it is not visionary to say that within the near future million gallon car goes of gasoline up the river will be a common sight. With this increase in inland cargo, proportionate out bound wheat movements will take place. Morrow county has benefitted as has all other counties in eastern Or egon from the movement of petro leum products, namely, gasoline During this past year approximately 1,200,000 gallons of gas has come into Morrow county at a saving of $1.00 per ton, or a total saving of $3,884 In other words, the price of retail gasoline has dropped approximately one-half cent a gallon. This, of course, is only a slight indication of the benefits that are to come. This work is all being accomplish ed on a very limited financial bud get which is contributed to by coun ty courts of Oregon, county com missioners of Washington and Ida ho, port districts and farm and bus iness organizations. Last year the organization operated for a total of $11,600.39, sub-divided as follows administration, $6,550, including sal aries, office rental expense, etc.; re search work and traffic compilations, $2,000; legislative. $1,565. and pub licity, $891.39. Denny Ranch Favored by Rain Rain which fell in copious auan tities in the Socal Ridge area a few weeks ago proved to be a real bless ing in at least one instance. The shower fell in greatest volume over the Clyde Denny ranch where small rivulets cut ditches in many parts of his fields. None of the ditches proved deep enough to cause damage and 'a little smoothing over placed the land in condition for seeding. Denny wasted no time in prepar ing the land for seeding and in get ting the seeding done. Result: His grain is up and making a nice stand. He set the drill for depositing the seed at three-inch depth and finds the results satisfactory. I Plans Progress for Pioneers Reunion WATERWAYS WORK VITAL Continued from First Page Channel improvement on the Co lumbia from Celilo to Umatilla was completed in June last year, and cargo boats carrying both up- and down-river tonnage are plying past Umatilla rapids as far inland as Attalia, Wash. Dredging of channel from Vancouver. Wash., to Bonne. ville to a depth of 27 feet has been authorized, funds appropriated bv the 75th congress, and engineers estimate projects completion by May, 1940. Economic approval has been given by corps of army engineers for the completed program from The Dalles to Lewiston Idaho, providing for four dams on the Columbia river to the mouth of the Snake river and four dams on the Snake. This ap. proval was made in June. 1938. Leg. islation was introduced the first of this year to take the first step in the program, construction of Umailla Rapids dam and four locks and dams on the Snake. Umatilla Rapids only survived, and this project is on the senate calendar for consideration at the next session of congress. Since 1934 when this association was organized, ocean transportation has been provided to The Dalles, and river boat transportation to At talia, Wash. Considerable growth in the last 18 months has taken place on the river bank in petroleum and bulk wheat facilities. At Attalia there is storage for 3,500,000 gallons of petroleum products. At Umatilla major oil companies have established some 3,500,000 gallons of storage, and approximately the same stor. age capacity is located at The Dalles. Walla Walla Grain Growers have Plans are progressing nicely for the annual pioneers reunion to be held at Lexington, Saturday, Oc tober 21, announced Mrs. Anna Keene, chairman of the committee in charge, when in the city the first of the week. Included will be the big basket dinner at noon that has been the center of attraction in past years, An entertainment program will be presented in the afternoon, 1 with old-time and modern dancing in the evemng.

Animal Industry Expanding, Says Chief "There are many who believe that Oregon's agricultural future for the next several decades rest sauarelv upon the further development of the animal industries based upon a sig. nificant and necessary land-use ad justment," said P. M. Brandt, chief m ammal industries at O. S. C, in discussing this question recently over KOAC. Taking everything into consid eration, it would appear that the animal industry of Oregon, includ ing chickens, turkeys and fur farms as well as other domestic animals, is on a pretty sound basis. It is prettv well balanced up with the feed sup ply but looking forward to expan sion as rapidly as land-use adjust ments can be made to permit profit able production in increasing num bers."
