ANOTHER PROTEST
AGAINST EXTENSION
,sneelaI Correspondencel


Stanfield, ore, Dec. saturday
evening at a meeting at Butter creek
TCur miles south of HermiSton, OF
farmers Of that vicinity who own
Sand ON the proposed reservoir site of
-fhe western extension Of the Umatil-
81 project protested against the car
Iying ON ol The extension and the
-CoHStfIatiou of the reservoir. The
meeting was called TO order by ]. T.
AuEle e. II. Gardner was elected
ahairuau. Peter sheridan, secretary,
. and o. T Hlnkle assistant secretary.
The sentiment expressed at the meet
Ing WAS very strong against the vest
ern extension and there was a unani-
NIFTY of feeling chat every farmer on
the proposed reservoir site should
7srSresa against the retarding of i'm
pTOyements ana the 5dmper on pro-
gress generally that has resulted from
the long drawn out preliminary work
and The delayed reports thereon, the
whole matter having been indefinitely
-held IN abeyance. In comparing the
.lnsrIts Of the So-Called western eN-
Tension and the John Day project,
some very interesting figures were
brought uuL one prominent farmer
had report of John II. Lewis. state
engineer. showing that in 1905 the
flow of the Cmatilla river was 2l9,-
500 acre feet, while in the same year
the flow Of the John Day river was
96b.OOD.aCre feet. or nearly four times
as much As that of the Umaulla.
There l. practically no irrigation from
the waters of the John Day at the
present time, while it appers from
tbs quantity used by the Umatilla
phoject during 1911 that when this
entire project is opened up there will
be very little Umatilla river water for
any irrigation aside from that which
mas already been appropriated. At
lhe rate that water has been turned
onto the 1000 acres of land that has
been irrigated under the Umatilla
project this year. it would require
100000 acre feet to supply this pro-
ject alone. 10 say nothing of the wa
Ter that rightfully belongs to the pri-
1ate projects along the Umatilla riv-
IT. many of which are composed of
farmers who were irrigating their
lands years before even the Umatilla
project was first thought of, and their
rights must be respected as well as
those of the Indians. l
IL was also stated in the meeting
'by farmers who are experienced irri-
gators that it requires an average of
20 inches of water to sustain plant
life in these lands and that evaporation
and seepage will consume equally as
much more and, to substantiate this
the fact was referred to that the ex-
pertinent station at HermistOn used
F=siX feet of water this year In view
of this fact the farmers are protesting
against the efforts of the L. S recla-
InauOn service to cut down the allow.
rance of water to . 1-2 acre feet anC

ria river If, therefore. the John
Day water be used for these lands
the Umatilla flood water which now
runs to waste could never be bene-
ficially used, and moreover, the set
tiers on these lands would have to
pay for their water Sf0S per acre in
stead of S76 per acre, as will be the
case by using the Umatilla water.
at appears unnecessary to pursue
this discussion any further. / trust
that have made the broad facts of
the situation plain"
Extension May Lose Funds.
| Washington, Dec. 4.-Senator Borah
will introduce a bill for the govern
ment to advance $f5,000,00 more to
! irrigation projects, in the form of cer-
tificates of Indebtedness. like those
issued last year. The proposal will
| be actuated by a desire to provide
money for those projects suffering
for early completion. He things it
will tend to relieve some situations
now rather embarrassing, where the
work cannot be prosecuted under the
existing conditions.
If such a bill passes there would
seem to be absolutely no reason why
the west extension of the Umatilla
project should not have abundant
funds for its completion, were it not
for protests now coming against the
extension, from Stanfleld and Pendle-
ton. In face of this division among
the people of that county, the bene-
fits arising from the additional $15,-
100000 would go for naught.
Additional protests have arrived
causing added surprise, and a letter
has been written to prominent citi-
zens of eastern oregon asking for an
explanation. An immense amount OF
work has been expended on the task

protest against the extension OF the
Umatilll project, saying that $50 wa
ters u 'rs will organize formally to
oppose the project. 1t is becoming
apparent that the division among the
water users probably will prevent the
government appropriating money for
the extension. Up to this time these
protests began to come from the Stan
field Commercial association, the
prospects were bright for getting the
money Similar division among the
settlers operated disastrously in the
cases of the klamath and Malheur
projects.

Needless Fears Expressed.
TT is no part Of the intention of
the reclamation service to deprive
present users of their rights or Of their
water supply, nor has the service the
legal power to act in any such arbi-
trary way even if ii 50 desired. a
large part of the protests that have
recently appeared in the press have
been from certain of the ranchers liv-
ing along the Umatilla river or its
tributaries, who fear that the United
states ig proposing TO take away from
them their water supply and use 1t on
other lands Such a fear is foolish
in the extreme and need not be con-
sidered by any person familiar with
the intention and practice Of the Unit
ed states with regard to the benefici-
al use of water.
"Other objections have recently ap-
peared that have been inspired ap-
parently by owners of lands within the
proposed reservoir site, who have ap-
parently feared that their homes and
farms will be taken from them in or
der that the reservoir can be built
( and the lands flooded. 1t has been
alleged by persons, apparently entire
/ ly ignorant OF the situation, that
large areas Of valuable lands will be
| flooded and destroyed and that it
would be poor business policy to de-
stroy thege valuable lands merely for
/ the purpoae Of reclaiming other lands
at another place.
Reservoir Site Not valuable.
The situation is briefly this: Some
what less than 1000 acres Of land will
be flooded by the proposed reser-
voir. The greater part Of this land
