IRRIGATION PROJECTS
ON A LARGE SCALE
Some $4,000 Acres of Land to Be
Reclaimed i'm Yakima County I'm
der Provisions of Federal Law

The Tacoma Ledger of last Friday
gave space to a lengthy article on irri-
CATION which is doubtless fraught with
great things for this section The pa
per says;
Unless the plans of State Arid Land
Commissioner John l.. Murray go
strangely awry.the state of Washington
sill. within the next two years, add
about $4,000 acres of reclaimed land to
rs wealth, and an additional 10000 acres
Of arid lands will be in line for immedi
ate reclamation. Mr.. Murray, who is
also deputy state land commissioner
Vas in the city Yesterday comforting
With Messrs. Blaine and Granger of the
Washington Irrigation company of iii
ish, Yakima county, in regard to the
.iosing OF contract between the com
pany and the state for the installation
Of a water system to irrigate certain
lands situated in Yakima county, select
ed By the state under the provisions of
nc taItN dCJ VI Ioot anu Subsequent
acts, whereby the state of Washington
IN common with other states is author
ized to select 100000 acres of arid land
Tor settlement, provided practical plan
Tor its reclamation is submitted to the
department at Washington.
When the Carey act became law
steps were taken by the state of Wash
Sdgton to select the lands The Office of
state arid land commissioner was ere
sted by the legislature and the work of
selection began. Owing to friction in
connection with the office, however, in
rolving in part the payment of the
state arid land commissioners salary,
very little progress was made, an1 after
. short time the work was abandoned
altogether. owing to lack of funds to
meet the expenses of selection and sur
vey.
When Governor Mcbride entered upon
cal acts was to appoint Mr.. Murray
state arid land commissioner. Mr.. Muir
ray assembled the records of the Office
md found that about 5000 acres had
been selected and surveyed by his pre-
Assessor At the last session of the leg.
isIstnre a bill was passed authorizing
lie state to enter into contracts with
yivate parties for the reclamation OF

the selected lands. Negotiations are

the selected lands. Negotiations are
now pending between the state and the
Washington Irrigation company to that
end Under the proposed contract the
state will sell to actual settlers such re-
claimed lands, and the company will be
IriI legged to sell to each purchaser the
water right for cash consideration 70
be fixed by the state. The state will
charge about $40 per acre, and The water
right will cost about $35.
Mr.. Murray stated to a representative
of the Ledger yesterday that the Wash
ington Irrigation company is about rea-
dy to go ahead with the work of recla-
nation. IF negotiations are satisfac-
torily concluded it is safe to predict
that inside of two years at least $4,000
acres of arid lands in Yakima county
will be reclaimed and ready for settle
ment," he said.
The company is one of the foremost
irrigating concerns in the Northwest,
and | am anxious that something be
done to secure the lands to the state
Under the terms of the Carey act it Ia
incumbent on us to reclaim such lands
and what is more, our plans and specif-
cations have to be submitted to the de-
partment. | feel confident that the
lands selected will prove valuable once
an irrigation system is installed, and
that they will be eagerly sought for by
for agricultural purposes. The state
will continue selecting arid lands, be
lieving that their reclamation can be Sc
