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." . .
