A Itibloitl story of koocI cheer inny
bo written nliont tlio rnpiil expansion
of irriRHtion sentiment in the Ashland
dNtriet recently, toother with the
RiunruMtion that n sense of hurry lins
Intely impelled the farmers of this
region to more definite netlnn.
Tiio general iinpiuion heretofore
neeius to hnvo born that to supply
ItOguq Hive'r vnjley with riif nhitnd:
itiKMi-fj water fcnvrnwjtJjimHirpoW
would prove to bo a colossal entor-
prise involving tho expenditure of
more money than the 300.000 ncres
of irrienble lands nro worth, when,
w n matter of demonstrated cer
tainly it would more than ilnntilo tlic
true value of the'.e farm and orch
ard lands, United Mates stiitwliei
linviii'j long ago given the rate of in
ei eased valuation of irrigated agricul
tural territory as :8fl.8 per cent.
Local imagination was very diffus
ive on the matter of cost, but not suf
fiviently osnniiMVo to dispel tho
shadow from tho gainagc.
It Is n Jilg Thing
Tn commiinily estimation "it was a
big thing. An immense thing. A stu
pendous thing." And, viewed at long
range through nn imperfect lens, its
proportions grew more and more gi
gantic until possibility was dimmed by
discouragement. In the more recent
period of consideration, however,
practical judgment obtained the mas
tery, and now, happily, the Ashland
district is well nigh a unit in favor of
a modern irrigation nystem.
In tin'1 better sense of its being a
big thing, by the way, it doesn't re
niiire an eVtraordinary measure of
practical courage to say that the in
stallation of n modern system of irri
gation for Ilogue River valley is (piite
the largest enterprise the people of
.lackson county ever initiated; the
largest in the general cost of the
physical work required; the largest
in territory affected; the largest in
detail in the application of engineer
ing skill; the largest in purpo-e; the
lai-gest from a utilitarian' point of
view, iiml by far the laigest in point
ofopossihlo production of commercial
results that will add to the fortune of
every poison .concerned, in propor
tion to his intercut therein, meii-ured
in acres. Add to this the enlarge
ment of mercantile and professional
interests and (ho stimulated develop
ment of re.soiirees yot searcely con
sidered and it will indeed prove to he
"a Iiik iiitug wiiii cMruormuni'v po
teutialities. Much, bigger than the
hum it will cnxt.
Hurry" N tlio Slogan
The promise of early preliminary
work by state and national reclama
tion serxiee repreontiities lias pro-
duced on tho face . the average far
mer hereabout a strange smile
strange because of protracted ab
sence. "Hurry" is now the hlogun,
up this way. If doubting TIioiiiumis
really existed here prior to the pres
ent drouth fccseinn, the uuinitnkublu
effect of tho Inttor hns boon to foreo
them lo a confession of error. In a
search of three days 1 have been un
able to overtake nud nppichciid one
'Dubious Tom."
The likelihood now i that Ahlaud
Mill join with Talent in llio formation
of a unit, tho combined acreage thus
to be irrigated reducing the firt cost
of water delivory, as well as the sab
sequent expoiice of operation and
maintenance of the syntem. The final
leport on tho preliminary work of de
termining tho vohpno of btptolv njul
the cost of providing the jiocessary
means of storage mid conveyance to
tho area to be covered will enable
those coneernod to docido quickly.
Fertile Foothill J-nuls
If the main canal lines may be
shown to bo high enough at the vari
ous point of delivery to include a
larger aten than that now estimated,
n correspondingly extendod nereage
will bo joadilv "nigued up" for serv
ice, as already indicated by the anx
ious oxprosainn of Hiomo who own
land in tho highor foothills. Tluo
cultivable uplands rank among the
riohont in tho world in tho matter of
fruit and vegetable production, both
