construction started.
Eff«»rts were
mad«’ to remove many difficulties In
the way of the Malheur project, th«-
principal ones being the iarg«» land
holdings In corporate ownership an«!
the complications of rights of way,
water rights, etc.
After strenuous
and long continued attempts to over

finally abandoned as being infeaaible.
