THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



573 



It is expected that work on the Columbia Southern Irri- 

 gation Company's segregation will be resumed soon and the 

 project carried to completion. This segregation comprises 

 27,000 acres of land lying adjacent to Laidlaw and northwest 

 of Bend, and it is stated that the company now in charge 

 of the enterprise will ask that an additional 8,000 acres be 

 segregated. The enterprise is now in the hands of the Ore- 

 gon-Washington-Idaho Finance Company, which took over 

 the affairs of the Columbia Southern Irrigation Company 

 after they had been in the courts for several years. The proj- 

 ect involves the building of a concrete dam on Tumello creek, 

 and from there a feed canal seven miles long will be con- 

 structed to Tumello Reservoir. This is a natural reservoir 

 site and embraces 1,405 acres. The system will be turned over 

 to a Water Users' Association when 80 per cent of the land 

 is sold. This is a Carey Act project and is under the super- 

 vision of the State of Oregon. 



Sixty thousand acres of Carey Act land lying in the valley 

 of Jordan Creek is practically ready to be placed on the 

 market. Water for this project is taken from Jordan and 

 Boulder creeks. All but 1,880 acres of this land lies in the 

 State of Oregon the amount mentioned lying in Owyhee 

 county, Idaho. , 



It is stated by F. S. Stanley, who is heavily interested in 

 the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company of Portland 

 that the affairs of this company have been settled and that 

 the lands will be on the market within the next month. 

 It is understood that J. G. White & Co., of New York, 

 will be in charge of the construction and maintenance 

 work.

Farmers in the Plain City district are planning to store
