IRRIGATE THIS SECTION.

1t is reported that company, pro-
NOTED by a Seattle man, is planning
t. reclaim $4,000 acres of arid land
in the west end of this county. In
that portion of the county there is an
immense amount of land still open
for reclamation. Most of it lies west
OF the Umatilla river.
There IS also plenty Of water for
the reclamation of this land provided
reservoirs are used.
But here is a point that most peo-
pie are overlooking entirely. All of
the land needing irrigating does not
lie in the west end. In the vicinity
of Pendlet5n there are thousands Of
acres that may be brought under ditch
and which will be vastly improved by
such a course.
Along the Tutuilla are many Sec
tions that may be watered. The same
is true Of land west Of Birch creek
and Of land lying north of Pendleton,
In fact by the proper construction Of
reservoirs and bitches a large per-
centage Of the already titled land Of
this county may be converted into
irrigated tracts.
But unless something is done soon
by those who want to reclaim land
lying in the center Of this county
there will be no water left. If out
side companies are allowed to come
in and appropriate all the water Of
the Umatilla, Of Mckay creek and
other streams for use in watering the
lands Of the west end It will not be
long until the available water sup
ply will be cornered. This portion or
the county will then have to continue
as a dry farming section while the
water is taken across it to the waste
tracts lying westward.
Now If the business men Of Pen
dleton, Of Athena and Of Pilot Rock
want TO do something that will real
ly set this part Of the county forward
they should interest people in the rec
lamation Of the center Of the county.
The irrigation Of this part of the coun-
ty is something that may be accom-
plished. It need not remain a mere
dream. But time is neeting and soon
It may be too late to act.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-04-24
THE TIME FOR WORK.

The East Oregonian devotes much
time and space to booming Pendle.
ton and Umatilla county" is a COM
ment that is often heard. Sometimes
it is made as an unfriendly criticism
of this paper.
But for what it is trying to do for
this city and county the East Orego-
nian has no apologies to make. Its
course is justified by conditions. This
is the time for work and for earnest
cooperation on the part of the people
of the entire county. Loyal citizens
will gladly join in the progressive
that are now underway
But the East Oregonian has no de-
sire to boom" this county in the
sense that word is often used. 1t has
no use for wildcat" propositions of
any kind. But it does want to do
everything possible to advance the
solid interests of this county and Of
other portions of eastern Oregon. 1t
wants to see the vacant lands re-
claimed and made habitable. In the
non-lrrigable sections it wants to see
the highest type of agriculture pre-
vail so that there may be a maximum
and greater popula-
ton. It would like to see Pendleton
and the other towns improved so that
they may fully hold their own in the
great development race that is now on
in the northwest.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-04-24

a PARK COMMISSION.

It is desired by the ladies of the
library and civic association to have
commission created for the purpose
of caring for the little parks that are
to be created in different portions of
the city. 1t is a sensible suggestion.
The lack Of a public park or parks
at this time is due more than any
thing else to the simple fact that no
organized effort has ever been made
towards securing such. In the past
the establishment of a park or Of a
park system has been "everybody's S
business" and as usual it has been
neglected.
But the time is now ripe for the
-reation Of parks. A number Of lit
tie parks are needed and they may
be had. But in order to establish
these parks as they should be estab-
lished and to manage them after they
are created, park commission is
reeded.
