Simple But Impressive.
Eastern Oregon Irrigation
Ben Selling, of Multnomah County,
Projects Ask lor Million Speaker o f House.
Dr. Jumes Withycombe, Oregon’ s New
Governor.
Central Oregon irrigationists want
not only the $450,000 that the Federal
government intends to expend for
reclamation purposes in this Btate, but
an additional appropriation of $450,000
from the legislature, to be matched by
a like amount from the Federal treas
ury.
Altogether, Central Oregon wants
$1,350,000 for immediate development
work.
Resolutions to this effect were
adopted at a caucus of delegates from
the interior counties to the irrigation
congress being held in Portland.
While the resolutions suggest that
the money be appropriated for work in
“ Central Oregon,” it is apparent that
this term is intended to apply only to
Crook county and its immediate en
virons, including Jefferson county,
which recently was carved out o f Crook
county.
More than 150 delegates were repre
sented at the Central Oregon caucus.
All but a few o f them, however, were
representatives of Crook and Jefferson
counties.
The meeting also went on record in
favor o f Federal guarantees for bonds
issued by separate irrigation districts.
This plan also has been suggested by
the Umatilla county delegates and is
supported generally by the Eastern
Oregon irrigationists.
The Metolius Irrigation & Power
company’s project, more generally
known us the lower desert project, also
was recommended and efforts will be
made to have the general state con
gress adopt a resolution to that effect.

by Eaton himself, and Hinkle, of Uma

calendar clerk, Charles Erskine, Bend;
sergeant-at-arms, H. T. Bruce, Port
