Port Speaker Optimistic For Future Bf FRANCES ROSE WILSON IRRIGON Bonrdman Soil and Water Conservation District held 1U annual business meeting Feb. 10 at the Irrlgon Lion's Club building. A dinner was served to 70 people. Guest speak er Rupert Kennedy, manager of Tort of Morrow predicted a pop ulation growth in the area due to agriculture development, in dustry and pleasant living con ditions. In county planning Irrl gon Is recognized for Its home sites, and development of more housing Is recommended. Maxwell Jones, chairman, and also manager of West Extension Irrigation District, gave a report of the year's program. Approxi mately 1.000 acres were brought under cultivation last year, with another 1,000 acres being devel oped this year in the area. The Ulman pumping plant at Uma tilla has helped to make this possible, according to Jones. The need for zoning was em phasized. There are certain land use problems which can be avoided by proper zoning before an influx of population. Senate bill No. 10 requires that by Dec. 31, 1927, all cities and counties be zoned. Tentative plans lor the area includes an Agricultur al Park to be located West of Ordnance ..with feed mills, pack ing plants, grain elevators and other industry related to agriculture. Concerning the proposed In dustrial Park on the Columbia River in the Boardman area, and the nuclear plant site, Mr. Ken nedy pointed out that there are only 2 bodies of water in the Northwest large enough to han dle the cooling process of a nu clear plant. These are the Ocean and the Columbia River. The climate of Eastern Oregon is ideal, since a great deal of mois ture is put into the atmosphere. The dry climate here would soon dissipate the moisture that would produce unwanted mist on the Coast. Mr. Kennedy said he expect ed Shell will be irrigating by 1971. Their 12,000 acres are southwest of Ordnance in Mor row County.
