LOCAL OPTION IRRIGATION.
Representative Neil Mcleod Favors
the District Law.

Neil Mcleod, a prominent lawyer
of Elgin and representative to the
legislature from Union county, was
in the city this morning on his way to
Walla Walla and Pasco. He is en-
thusiastic over the prospects for irri-
CATION in washington and will locate
on arid land in Franklin county. He
is deeply interested in irrigation laws
in oregon and will be glad to assist
i'm formulating a practical, broad,
equitable irrigation law for the state
at the coming session of the legisla-
ture.
1.-THE requirements of the different
sections of the state, differ, In this
matter" said Mr.. Mcleod to the East
Oregonian, land what would suit Ba-
ker. Union or Umatilla county VIII
not suit the counties in Western Ore
gon. Therefore, the district law which
permits each locality to regulate its
own irrigation affairs-a sort of local
option irrigation, as 1t were, seems to
me to be the wise way in which to
handle the subject.
There can be a general law, 1t is
true, covering the greater features of
irrigation, but in order to make every
stream reclaim its fullest amount of
land, and reach the greatest number
of users, each little community should
be allowed to regulate local questions
to suit local conditions, and the pres
ent irrigation district law, It seems, is
the wisest law in the statutes today,
for the reason that 1t permits this
very thing 1t should be strengthened
and simplified, so it can be effective
to the fullest degree, in bringing
about the complete reclamation of the
