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

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.

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."
