WHAT CONSTRUCTION OF PA
LOUISE DITCH WILL MEAN
TO GARDEN CITY.
Building Up Of Country Will Result in
Increase Of Business for All
Merchants.

There is every prospect of securing
favorable and prompt action in the
construction of the Palouse irrigation
project, providing the people of Walla
Walla will lend their aid and assistance
in the work." said c. Eugene Bortle,
secretary of the Northwest section of
the National Irrigation Association this
morning
There is considerable expense con-
nected with the work. We have men
in the irrigated districts of this state
securing data and facts relative to
land values. Affidavits have been pre-
erty owner who rents his land, lands
that would come under the six and
seven hundred foot level of the pro-
posed Palouse irrigation project, and
for the persons holding decided or rent
ed lands watered either by well, spring
or ditch under private irrigation enter
prises The first affidavit will show
the rental value of lands, and what
revenue they are producing to the land
owner. A large amount of land in
small irrigated tracts is being rented at
from $40 to $50 per acre: usually at
and the producer who holds the lease
on these lands is making large In
comes off from each acre per year at
that price. We are all familiar with
the fact that irrigated sections of the
state are producing large and remun-
erative yields of all kinds of crops that
are susceptible to irrigation and favor
able conditions. Affidavits are also be-
ing prepared for the hOmesteader and
property owner who have holdings un-
der the Palouse project, and who will
testify their willingness to pay the cost
$65 per acre be necessary.
With these affidavits filled out and
sworn to by people interested in the
matter, they will have a strong bearing
on the case. 1t is our intention to send
a representative business man to
Washington, D. c., and place this mat
ter before the proper officials. This
will have a tendency to, back up the
sentiment of the people of this state,
which mas already been expressed by
the many resolutions ana petitions that
have been sent to the secretary of the
interior and other officials at the head
of the reclamation service.
"Walla Walla is within close dis
lance to these lands compared to the
distance of other cities of size in the
state, and her benefits from the irriga-
ton of the Franklin county lands
would be much greater. In ten years
these lands with an accumulation of
improvements covering this period
would be valued at fully $75,0OO,000 and
would increase in that length of time
to the rate of $1O,OOOOO0 annually.
These figures are based on facts CLEAN
ed from other irrigated districts of the
Northwest. Fully $5,000,000 would be
placed in circulation, as the cost of
constructing this project would amount
to that sum of money.
From these figures we can readily
understand where our interests in the
matter lies, and it behoOves the peo-
pie of the state at large, and particu-
larly of this city to extend all of the
aid that is possible in the work now
