 aims of irrigation promoters will be defeated. 



It is reported that the Desert Land Board has ad- 

 vised the Southern Irrigating Company, operating near 

 Salem, to make a topographical survey of its segregation 

 and take steps to secure a reservoir site. There has been 

 some question as to the legality of the company's claim, 

 and it is now believed that these matters are adjusted, and 

 work will proceed. In the notice given to the company it 

 was stated that unless work is completed as outlined the 

 land shall revert to the state. 



The Umatilla project is now 86J4 per cent completed. 

 It represents to date an investment on the part of the

 structed so as to irrigate at the present time approxi- 

 mately 15,000 acres out of a total of 23,171 acres. The 

 government has recently notified settlers that on Janu- 

 ary 15, 1910, all patented land within the first and second 

 units of the project for which water right application has 

 not been made in the local land office, in accordance with 

 public notices then in force, shall be excluded from the 

 project and appropriate steps shall be promptly taken to 

 add to the project other lands equivalent in the irrigable 

 area. Appropriate notices, at that time, will also be given 

 by the department to' the water users' association regard- 

 ing the exclusion of such lands so that water right sub- 

 scriptions therefor may be cancelled.
