Conserving Our Waters.

In the arid portion of this state the
area of irrigable land far exceeds the
regular water supply. The summer
flow Of these streams can be increased
many fold by the storage of water in
the mountains, and using the natural
channel to convey such water to the
place of intended use. This class of
development, which is encouraged and
protected in Wyoming, Idaho and other
states, is absolutely impossible in Ore
gor, except under the most favorable
conditions. Capital will not invest in
such storage works until the state pro-
vides the necessary administrative ma
