MORE THAN 2500
RABBIT KILLED IN
HUGE DRIVE SUNDAY
SECOND DRIVE SET FEBRUARY
9TH NEAR SLOAN THOMSONS
Dead Rabbits Taken for Fox and Hog
Feed;
First Drive Well
Organized.
More than 2500 rabbits were herd-
ed into a corral last Sunday after-
noon at Sarvis Springs by 500 peo
ple who gathered from this district
and Pendleton to carry on the first
rabbit drive conducted in this end of
Umatilla county for a number of
years. Although the lines were not
air-tight and it is estimated that
more than a thousand rabbits es
caped, organization was fine for the
first drive.
The slain rabbits were trucked
away by parties who wished to use
them for fox and hog feed.
The second rabbit drive will be
conducted near the Sloan Thomson
ranch on Butter Creek beginning at
1:30 p. m., Sunday, February 9th.
This drive will be handled in about
the same way as the one last Sun
day, and those who participate are
asked to bring a club (no guns
allowed) and a cup for coffee which
will be served following the comple
tion of the drive.
Those who do not know how to
reach the point of the drive may
find the Sloan Thomson ranch by
driving up the Butter Creek highway
to a point about one half mile above
the road leading to Sarvis Springs.
Arrows will again be used to indi
cate the way.
If the snow continues to lay on
the ground, conditions for the drive
will again be ideal and should re
sult in a high percentage of rabbits
being killed.
Shot Gun Drive Planned.
A shot gun drive is being planned
for Sunday morning beginning at
10:00 o’clock. Roy Hale of Hermis
ton will have charge of the drive and
those wishing to take part are re
quested to get in touch with Mr.
Hale before Saturday evening. Ammu
nltion may be purchased through
Mr. Hale’s store at wholesale prices.
Only older men are allowed to take
part in this drive, W. A. Sawyer, as
sistant county agent, has announced,
and all persons are required to get
in touch with Mr. Hale before Sun
day morning ad register.
The shot gun drive will be con
ducted above the Hawley Bean place,
bordering on the Umatilla Meadows
west of Echo.
Wire used in these drives is being
purchased by sports organizations
and will be permanent property to
use from year to year. Arrangements
for these drives are being made by
Harold Dobyns of the Biological Sur
vey department of Pendleton, and
W. A. Sawyer, assistant county agent
of Hermiston.

WALLULA GATEWAY CLUB PREPAIRING RIVER
BRIEF FOR ARMY ENGINEERS' HEARING
The Wallula Gateway club is now
preparing a brief of argument for
the Umatilla dam which will be pre
sented to the army engineers’ board
meeting In Washington some time in
April. This brief will be supple
mentary to the Robins report on the
Umatilla and Snake river dams made
last May. after all the surveys were
completed during the preceeding
months when the army engineers
were in this locality. The Robins re
port justified the Umatilla dam on
an 85 percent basis, which, under
the rules of the war department, was
figured on tonnage within easy
trucking distance of the river a-
mounting to only 2,000,000 tons.
Further facts have been developed as
to greater justification for a power
unit which at that time was not
cons id ered.
Irrigation also has become a more
important factor in under the public
works program than a year ago, and
the Grand Coulee high dam for the
development of the Columbia Basin
project has been authorized. These
and many other features of the plans
for ntllizing the Columbia and Snake
rivers for navigation, power and ir
rigation will be presented to the
army board and the state delega
tions In Washington and adminis
trators of public works and also the
president, which will justify the Im
mediate construction of the Umatilla
dam on a 100 percent basis.
Because of the early necessity for
OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
the presentation of this argument,
the Wallula Gateway club has been
formed of members directly inter
ested in the project as of immediate
local importance and because the
Umatilla dam apparently, is not be
ing given attention by larger com
munities or associations which are
also interested In other projects or
public works programs. The hearing
before the army board has been
postponed several times and negotia
tions are going on for setting a defi
nite date when the new argument
can be presented by the Oregon sen
ators and congressmen.
The board of directors of the club
have been selected as follows: E. P.
Dodd, president; William Switzler.
vice president; Alfred Quiring, sec
retary-treasurer; R. G. Penney and
H. L. Hedrick of Stanfield: H. M.

A membership fee of 50 cents has

penses connected with the prepara-
I tlon of the brief, such as map mak

FINE PROSPECTS
FOR IRRIGATION IN
UMATILLA COUNTY
WATER SUPPLY EXPECTED TO
FILL STORAGE RESERVOIRS
Butter Creek and Willow Creek Still
Short : Better Than Normal Condi
tions to Assure Water There.
By J. M. SPENCER,
District Watermaster
A survey of snow conditions In
the Blue Mountains indicates that
there is a good prospect for irriga
tion water for the Umatilla river
and Walla Walla river areas. The
present snow storage at the head of
McKay creek should run 48,000 to
50,000 acre feet for McKay reser
voir and with normal spring preci
pitation probably the reservoir will
fill.
The Cold Springs reservoir now
holds 20,000 acre feet and it will
easily fill in the next few months
so that the Hermiston district will
be well supplied. It is safe to say
that all Umatilla areas will receive
a good run of water.
Butter Creek and Willow Creek
are still short and will need better
than normal spring precipitation to
guarantee a complete coverage. At
present the conditions on the lower
range are not good and a shortage
may be expected.
