Ninety Per Cent of the Land Owners
Interviewed In Central Point Dis
trict Declare Themselves In Favor
of Irrigation.
l no uoguo luvor cnnal company
Iiab mado nu extensive canvass this
wook among tho land owners near
Central Point. Goorpo K. lloos, rep
resentative of tho company, has ln
tervlowed many o thorn and it nn
pears thnl Irrigation Is awakening a
widespread lntoresl In that district.
Up to dalo r9 land owners have
been Interviewed and almost 90 por
cent of them have declared them
selves and have subscribed for the
water for Irrigating their lands ad
jacent to tho Hopkins canal and the
proposed extension. Tho building of
this canal depends upon the people,
slnco tho undertaking Is ono of great
expense, tho company desires the
assurance of tho uso of tho water bc
foro constructing tho canal, agreeing
that the work will begin as soon as
it has been demonstrated to them
that tho land owners dcslro tho
water.
Mr. Doos reports that In hts con
versations with tho people ho en
counters many perplexing queries to
answer. It appears everybody has
heard and rend of tho many advan
tages of Irrigation and. while "I
reckon" tho good pcoplo there aro
not all from Missouri, they do want
to know (show me) and as above
stated 90 per cent of thoso Inter
vlowed have signed the petition, and
now the great question with them Is
"How soon can we get It?"
Many arc yet to be seen before
the time can bo set when the water
will bo turned on. Mr. Doos will
stay in tho field until all have signed
up, feeling that the good of his work
will only requiro a few seasons to
demonstrate to the community that
water is king and tho owner of a
farm without a water right will be
looking In vain for a buyer, the other
will not want to sell.
That tho government has expended
approximately $G7,000.000 In irrlga
tipu work, and this vast sum is less
than half of tho amount that will be
expended when Uncle Sam's engi
neers have completed tho present pro
gram, is an eyo opener to the arid
land owner, who now realizes that
tho land with a water right costing
him but $50 an aero is an asset worth
fiO per cent and in many cases worth
nioro than the present value of his
land. Wator rights In many locali
ties in the states of Washington,
Colorado, Utah, Montana and Cali
fornia cost from $80 to $160 per
ncrc, aro considered reasonable, tak
ing into consideration the increaso of
yield of crop per acre over the land
that Is not Irrigated. This valley is
fortunate, being blessed with an
abundant watershed and storage,
which is converted Into canals and
carried upon tho lands by latcials at
n price so much lower than Is the
case In localities not so favornHy sit
uated. But no doubt with tho in
crease of tho land values the price
now asked by the company for water
oiiust Increase llkowlso, tho day will
coma when such a water right will
enhance threefold and more in Iloguc
rlvor valley.
