PROJECT
EXCEPTS NEW POSITION
To Become Irrigation Manager on
Big Reclamation Division of
Yakima Project
Mr. Maurice D. Scroggs, who has
served for a number of years as Ir
rigation Manager on the Umatilla
project, leaves this week to assume
a similar position on the Sunnyside
Division of the Yakima project, in
the state of Washington.
During his residence on this pro
ject, covering a period of 16 years
he has made many friends who will
with regret see his departure. How
ever. the oportunity to enter a new
field was very Inviting and affords
a chance for development much
greater than the Umatilla. The Sun
nyside Division is composed of 105.-
000 acres, much of which is in a high
state of cultivation.
Mr. Scroggs is reporting for his
new assignment at once, but expects
to return for a short visit in Febru
ary, at which time he will remove
his family and household property.
Mr. Scroggs combines the charact
eristics of a fine type of citizen. His
loss will be felt by the Commercial
club, of which he was a capable as
sociate, by the Masonic lodge, of
which he was a Past Master; by the
school board, of which he was chair
man; by the Reclamation Service, of
which he was a falhful and compet
ent employee and by the general com
munity of which he was an excellent
and efficient member.
