 Hartmen & Thompson, at Portland, that more than $1,000 

 in the stock of the syndicate formed for the development 

 of Willamette Valley Irrigation project has been sub- 

 ^cribed. It is the purpose of this company to take up 

 options on tracts covering a total of about 25,000 acres. 

 Scientific tests will be conducted to determine what irri- 

 gation method shall be adopted. It is probable that a 

 comprehensive system for storage of water will be out- 

 lined. The syndicate is authorized by its charter to ex- 

 tend its operations to other points.

 chased a large tract of land in Yonna Valley near Bonanza 

 and proposes the construction of an irrigation system.

 construction of a dam. He has already fully outlined his 

 plans for construction work.

 Langell Valley forced out trie dam of a private irrigation 

 project on December 7. Construction work had been nearly 

 completed and considerable work on canals and laterals 

 had been begun. It was proposed to supply water to about 

 4,000 acres. Later reports indicate that the dam will be 

 rebuilt.

 Reservation, in the northern part of the county. 



Surveyors working in the interest of John C. White, 



of Pittsburgh, are making plans for an irrigation ditch 

 forty-two miles in length, to supply water to 20,000 acres 

 in the upper South LJmpqua and Cow Creek valleys, 

 Douglas County. It is planned to build and maintain an 

 irrigation system under the Municipal District Law, which 

 allows land owners to vote bonds for construction pur- 

 poses. The cost of the system is estimated at $800,000.

 that the Indian appropriation bill, reported to the United 

 States Senate, has an amendment passed by the Indian 

 Committee providing $50,000 for construction of the Mo-

 ervation. The maximum of $185,000 necessary to com- 

 plete this project must come from the sale of timber on 

 the Indian reservation. The land to be watered lies north 

 of Modock Point. 



W. C. Parish, superintendent for the East Oregon 

 Light and Power Company at Baker, has recently re- 

 turned from Burns and Harney counties, where he has 

 been making investigations regarding an irrigation project. 

 He proposes to establish pumping plants to be operated 

 by electricity and to take water from the Silvies River. 

 Land owners in Harney County are said to favor the plan. 

 There is prospect that early spring will bring opening 

 operations.

 the receiver's certificates.
