capital and the government both
desired to build a project in any
given community, IL is his pur-
pose to recognize private capital,
reserving government funds for
localities where private capital
will not enter.
Wayman and Test will be Civ
en- a hearing at a later day. It
was shown today that private
enterprise contemplates the irri-
cation of a much larger area
than that embraced in the gov
verment project, and will irri-
gate 1900 acres in Idaho not
embraced in the Malheur project.

Every one should do his part
to make his local fair, his state
fair and the Alaska Yukon-Pa
Exposition a success this year.
Thousands of eastern people Will
visit this coast this season for the
purpose of studying our country
and its possibilities. The expo
sition and state and local fairs
will be their objective points for
getting the desired information
relative to the products of the
country. If our people do their
part and exhibi such samples of
their soil as they can with a little
extra effort these visitors will be
favorably impressed and much
good advertising for the country
will thus be done. Plan for this
now and as you plant your gar
dens, fields and patches do it
with a view to growing some ex-
ira good stuff for show purposes.
Plant some of your best seed in
the best ground you have and
give it the best possible care and
you will raise some stuff that will
be a credit to you and your state.

Both Mr.. Hartman and the
Oregon Trunk line viii be grant
ed right-of-way up the Deschut-
es canyon according to newspap-
er report of Secretary Bailinger's
decision in the controversy.
Portions of the way it will be
necessary for both to use one
track. This should put them on
good terms CD and possibly will
mean that they will parallel each
other throughout all of central
and southeastern Oregon. Such
an arrangement would be quite
satisfactory to the people at
least.

Definite information has been
given out that the Hartman peo-
pie will build a line from Twin
Falls in Idaho south to connect
with the main line at Wells, New
ada. This shows another stroke
of systematic energy upon the
part of that great irrigation dis
trict. The Twin Falls people are
taking up the irrigation project
over in Malheur and Owyhee,
and Secretary Ballinger has init
mated he will give them prefer
ence over the government under
taking in that section.

DO THE PEOPLE WANT ITp

In discussing the recent decis-
ion of the Interior Department
relative to the SO, 900 acre Carey
Act segregation in this valley,
VIM, Hanley expressed more or
less Indifference as to the final
outcome under present condi-
tions. He firmly believes it best
to take advantage of the flood
waters of this section but unless
the land can be organized and
the people favorable to it, he
would not attempt it.
Mr.. Hanley's proposition
would be to get all interested in
a general reclamation project
that would be adequate and COW
er the largest area possible un-
der a feasible and economical
plan. For instance: A specified
lien for reservoir purposes, an
otehr for drainage and then for
canal construction. Such a plan
would suggest large undertake
ing, but the end would testify it.
Such a plan will some day be
carried out and when a consider
able portion of the land is yet va
cant it would be less complicated
now than later as there are less
units to be considered. If such
an undertaking could be launch
ed at once it would advance the
development of this section very
materially and place it even on
a better footing that many such
projects now being exploited.
There is little question but
such an arrangement would ap-
peal to capital and that it could
be financed. This is a matter
that should receive earnest con-
sideration by those interested.

Those farmers who heard Prof.
Scudder discuss dry farming
methods the other evening and
also tell them that our soil, eli
mate and conditions are ideal for
the raising of alfalfa and cereals,
should feel greatly encouraged.
We have even a better country
than we think and with the dem
onstration farm will make other
sections sit up and take notice.
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1909-04-24

while the weather of the past
week has not been ideal by any
means it might be worse. We
do need a rain but the soil is not
dry except on top and the flood
water is keeping a vast amount
of moisture near the surface.
People who read the papers find
weather conditions even worse in
other section and we have still
plenty of time for good growing
weather. Parties here have just
received letters from Kansas and
it seems vegetation here is farth-
er advanced than there.

MALHEUR IRRIGATION PROJECT.

A Washington dispatch of re.
cent date says: Secretary Ball
niger of the interior department
will visit Malheur county, Oregon,
when he goes west in June, and
on his personal observation and
on the showing to be made to him
before July / will determine
whether the Malheur irrigation
project shall be built by the re-
clamation service or by private
enterprise. This afternoon Sec
retary Ballinger gave a hearing
TO Walter Griffiths of Caldwell
and j. w. McCulloch of Ontaria,
who urged him to turn this pro-
ject over to the reclamation SER
vice, saying that 80 per cent of
the land owners under the old
government project had signed
up ard were ready to pay the
government price for water. w.
N. Yayman and E, H. Test, re-
presenting private capital that
want to build this project, were
present at the hearing, but not
being prepared did not make
their showing.
Secretary Ballinger's interro-
cations indicated an inclination
to turn this project over to pri-
vate capital if they can show
that they have the financial back
ing to carry the project to
completion and can build it at a
reasonable cost, and he further
