WEHTY OAS HELD FEASIBLE Total Cost of Irrigation Scheme Would Be $193,539,595 WASHINGTON, Mar;h 2. A con clusion that tho proposed linmonns Columbia Basin project in Washing ton and Oregon physically is feasi ble and that attention should be focused upon tho factors which w(l determine Its financial feasibility, wag contained In a report of a spe cial board of engineers, made pub lic yesterday by the Interior de partment. The total coat of the favored plan la estimated at 1 193,369,595, and the Initial expenditure to Irrigate the first lands, at $64,000,000. The Most Desirable Listing five basic Irrigation schomes under consideration, the en gineers declared the most desirable one Involved 1.124,000 acres, 80 per cent of which Is class A land, and utilizing both the 8pokano and Pond Oreille rivers ton the water supply. The engineers' findings are being studied by the Columbia basin pro ject committee, composed of Elwand Mead and Francis M. Ooodwln. T'ae lnttor's final report will be sub mitted to Secretary Work, who will forward it to congress If It meets with his approval. Iteport In Complete Settlement, the possibility of growing diversified cropB, dim He. transportation to eastern and for eign markets, farm credits and the elimination, ot land speculation arc discussed in tbo report of tbe en gineers' board consisting of Louis C. Hill, Jo'sepa Jacobs, Charles H. tiocher, RichardV. If. Lyman. . Arth ur J. Turner and C. L. Waller....'.. It was estimated by the engineers that the net capital required pt. a settler on the proposed project will range from $2500 to (4500 to' commence operations. A study of various factors connected with set tlement led the board to fix 5 years as tbe maximum time In wabli the entire irrlglble area would be settled ly farmers and the land nder cultivation. Income) Computed "A carefully worked out schedule ot farm operations," tho board states, "indicates that an 80-acre farm in the mora favorably situated lands ot the project will, at the end of the fifth year, return a gross an nual revonue ot $4100. ot which $1000 would be available for debt reduction." The board pointed out that the high per aero' cost of the pumping plants, which provides for pumping wuter directly out ot tho Calumb'a rlvor. In addition to the fact that 350,000 acres ot the best lanilj can not be reached by canals, makes them loss attractive than tho gravity plan. , Reservoir Sites Several socondnry ro3ervolr sites within tho project, sold tho biard, make It possible to improve operat ing conditions,' conserve drainage and wasto water und. by turni3hing water ut a critical time carry the peak demand and permit a further reduction In canal capacity. "Along tho canals," the engineers added, "thore nro numerous drops and chtitos whore power may be de veloped. Tho amount of such power for tho several projects varies ap proximately as their acreage. On the maximum gravity plan, 30 such power sites wore selected as prac ticable and the cost of their develop ment estimated. The combined In stalled capacity of theao 30 plant's amounts tb 145,000 horsepower and tho average cost $58 per horis power." . . ROCK MOVEMENT IS QUAKE CAUSE, SCIENTISTS SAY NEW YORK. March 2.
