OCTOBER 15. 1909. MUCH LAND INVOLVED (Oeatiaard.Freai Wat Fate.) spending thouaande of dollar dlguinc drain dltchea to get rid at the bui plus. This excess watte water from the raarsh landa equals each yea. iho vaporatloa from 40,000 acrea ot Lake Albert. Instead ot betas an lajary to the marak the Portland reaenreir weald be a beaett. How ever, we know that the wolf killed the aaeea for maddying the water in the etream, althoagk the Intake of - tke ram waa below that of hU enemy. There may be aomethlag elee back ol tale alleced claim. Tata 1J.000 acrea la deatlaed In time to prove very valuable. It waa at oae time covered with water 200 feet deep when the Chewaucan basin waa oae bis body of water, 75 mllea Ions, It la flae, sagebrush toll for wheat aad alfalfa, and a railroad through the valley would cut It la tke middle. C. H. Ball, while pasting through the country aa a poatoflce Inspector. waa attracted by thls.ine body of laadaad aa early aa 102 laid plana for Ita reclamation. It waa not. how ever, till February. 1907. that Gover nor Chamberlala. aa.head of the land board, atgaed the contract with the Portland Irrigation compear. Sep tember II or that year the contract waa approved by Prealdeat Rooae veH, aad tke company waa to begin work wKala aix montha from that of way for the distributing canal across the Fremont forest reserve, This approval waa given last Junc The other extensions were granted upon trivial pretexts. We all know that the reason why the work haa not been commenced Is tho lack of capital to build the works. Ball himself ia not a moneyed man. but he haa made an earnest endeavor to enlist capital la the enterprise, and has apeat a considerable aura In sur veys aad la promotion. The question Is can thla capital be secured before the advent ot a' railroad? Will an Irrigation project at the cost ot this. 120 miles from a railroad, prove to be ample security for the issuance of bonds?' . Let us look at the matter calmly and study the rights of the respective parties to tho controversy. The esti mated cost ot the works, approved by Bute Engineer Lewis, is In round numbers 1240,000. The aetttcr Is to pay $35 an acre for his water right, with 6 per cent Interest on deferred payments. This would bring in S 240, 000, the theoretical profit being $180,000. Thla looks pice enough on pan., but what are the results here in actual practice? The way to measure nch matters Is to take the experience of other farmers.

He had araplo water, and was pay ing less than $1 an aero rent. It Is true that much of tho ranch Is sage' brush, but It Is as line land aa there It In 'tho valley, and only four miles west of the Carey act' project. The Carey act farmer cannot have as good a layout aa had Woodward. In the first place It Is all sagebrush. and will cost $5 nn acre to clear the land. Another $5 must go Into fences, and still another 15 Into buildings. Kven then ho Is not ready to cut hay, which Is the only possible product he can market without a rail road, and the land stands him $50 nn acre. Tho farmer's fixod charges arc $2.10 Interest, $3.50 to tho. sinking fund and 50 cents annual mainten ance fee, $6.10 before he can think of buying clothes for his family. or bring home a sack of sugar that haa been enhanced by a $C0 a ton freight charge. If Woodward, with' all tho appur tenances of a well appointed farm, could not atand a rent of less than $1 an acre, how Is the Carey act farmer to make both ends -meet and pay out $6.10? This Is why business men estimate that hay land Is not worth more than $10 an acre, and that If land Is more valuable it Is not profitable to run stock on It. The Heryford ranch of 40,000 acres, Improved, sold to the Oregon Valley Land company for $12.50 per acre. But with the coming of tho Hill railroad all this is changed. Tho Carey aet farmer will then grow wheat and apples Two or three petitions, numerously signed by residents of Lake county, bavo been sent Into the state board aa a protest against granting Ball further extensions of time. These adverse claims were brought to the attention of the general government and lasfspring a special agent of the Interior department came out and took much testimony, including an affidavit from the writer. These proteatants allege that the land ia dispute Is not deaert. It is said that many of them are stock men who want free range and to keep out settlers. The fact is that on all sides of this Carey act segregation homesteads have, been taken up and L on none of the land do they grow cropa without irrigation. It Is alleged on the part ot the pe titioners that the cost of reclamation Is too greatryet they have no part ot the coat to pay, and the land under the terms of the project haa been aje plled for aeveral tlmea over. But what the petitioners want is to have the land thrown open for free homesteads and then have the gov ernment inaugurate a larger project un ler the reclamation act. In view of the matter there Is-much merit, nnd the government at one time took such a step aad segregated 125,000 arret. The mistake was in abandon. I UK the project, or Oregon erred In 1 (not having representatives at Wash ington with Inluence enoueh t mt the slate's due share of the reclame- Idaho to this cxtont 1ms boon mnde posslblo only by the application of the reclamation act In our state.

Mak ing n more doflnltc application, the resolutions odd that "no liao the fullest confidence In tho lrtuu ot the law nnd In the officials who hne di rected and carried on tho work In our midst, and wo bclloo that when the things aro fully accomplished that hate been planned and Initiated, tho reclamation act will bo recognized as one of the greatest benefits known to civilization."
