Ontario, Ore, July 2O.-Secretary
Ballinger win arrive here July oath
to inspect the Malheur project. The
chief object Of his visit is 90 sound the
sentiment of the land owners towards
the government in building the irri-
cation system.
The people north from Arcadia, in
cluding the vicinity Of Ontario, Vale
and Dead Ok Flat, favor the govern
ment project Those living in the vi
cinity of Nyssa and owyhee favor the
high line ditch company.
Because Of the intense feeling II is
suggested that if the government de-
cides to take up the Malheur project
all the land south of Arcadia. includ-
ing the Owyhee and Nyssa sections
will be left out.
This seems to be the only feasible
way of adjusting the matter, as the
land owners north of Arcadia will not
sign their land with the high line
company, even if the government
should refuse to take up the project.
They prefer to form separate irri-
cation district.
