the Washington Irrigation company
and secretary of the state irrigation
commission, had authorized him to say
that he and his company are in favor
of the national government controlling
and distributing the surplus waters Of
the Yakima watershed by conservation
in the lakes at the head of the rivers.
He also stated that he and his COM
pany would assist the people in every
way possible to secure legislation to
bring about this result.
This is an important announce
ment, especially so in view of the fact
that the Washington Irrigation COM
pany and Mr.. Granger have heretofore
been regarded as opposed to govern
ment control of surplus water. That
corporation is the largest water con-
sumner in the valley and if it is will
ing that the national government shall
control the surplus it is believed the
smaller consumers will more readily
consent"
To a representative of The Ranch
last week Mr. Granger stated the Her.
aid had quoted him in the main cor
rectly, although perhaps not suffici-
emily clearly to fully show the COM
panys attitude on the question. The
company has always been willing to
cooperate with any movement by
which an improved system could be
developed for the impounding of the
waters at the heads of the Yakima
and other streams, whether by join
ing in the expense of construction of
re servoirs, etc., by private enterprise,
with other canal companies interested
or by the government. The Wash
ington Irrigation company has the
largest investment of any canal COM
pany in that valley and it is but
natural that it should take a promi-
nent part in getting a plan worked
out that will protect it's interests and
at the same time be satisfactory to
all concerned.
Speaking of conditions in the Sun
nyside country Mr.. Granger said he
believed it to be in the most prosper
Gus condition of any section of the
northwest. The soil is very fertile,
and for a succe ssion of several years
the yields of the various crops have

been very neavy, commanding sp,en-
did prices. The recently completed
extension of the canal means the sub
lection of 10000 acres additional and
this land is being readily sold at from
$40 to $50 per acre. To those not
acquainted with the remarkable pro-
ductiveness of the Sunnyside soil this
would appear to be very high price
for raw land, but as matter of fact
it will produce a revenue amounting
to good interest on from 500 to $500
per acre according to the character
of crops grown. Therefore the price
of this land is really very reasonable.
