East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-07-23

Echo, July 2S.-Ditch work on the
East Umatilla irrigation project is ex-
pected to begin by the middle of lat
ter part of August, when the entire
community is expected to be very
| lively. The first work was to have
been done on the reservoir and dam,
but the dam bids were considered
too high being as much as $4,000
too high, according to reclamation Of
ficials. According to the officials in
charge at this place and at Hermiston
this will not interfere with the ditch
work to any great extent and they
believe that work will soon be under
way.

H. C. Richardson of Elma, Wash,
president of the Okanogan Water
Users association, was here a few
days during the past week looking
over the site of the East Umatilla ir-
rigation project, with which he seems
very much pleased. He says that
great drawback in the vicinity of the
Okanogan project is the fact that it is
, almost impossible to get things to
market, but that will not be the case
here.
