WEST UMAT|L[A PROJECT ONE OF
BEST IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES

the Umatilla, from which river 1t
takes it's water supply at point
several miles upstream. The average
elevation of the irrigated areas Is
47O feet above sea level.
Earth Dam Is Leaking
Taking the project as a whole,
the engineering structures are appar-
emily satisfactorily designed and ex-
ecuted. The only important engi-
neering structure is the earth dam
closing the outlet the cold springs
reservoir. This dam has already
withstood almost the maximum head
and appears stable, although its
height of SO feet makes it one Of
the high earth dams Of the country.
Leakage under the dam, amounting
to about 1.3 second-feet, was observed
1t is said that increase of head against
the dam does not increase the flow
materially. This is being watched
and Is not thought to he serious. 1t
iss assumed by the reclamation SER
vice that this leakage Is through
seams in the foundation under the
dam and at its end.
THE water supply is taken from the
Umatllla river and consists of flood
flov. None Of the low water dis
charge is available for the project as

all Oft has been appropriated. The
water rights appear to have never
been adjudicated but application
has been made by the United States
to the State Board of Control for
determination of the, priority and
amount of all claims This determin-
alton Is now in progress.
"The experience of this year 0S10)
indicates that the return flow to
the river will be sufficien. to supply
the priorities of the Oregon Land &c
Water Company and Brownell Ditch
Company. This will reduce the total
in the tabulation of 719 second-feet
and $4,000 acre-feet, respectively
Moreover, since the Maxwell Canal
will not be operated prior to March
15 1t is not likely that the maximum
rate of diversion of the Maxwell Ca
nal and the feed canal will occur at
the same time, so it appears that pri-
critics for existing project may be
considered as total of $4,000 acre
feet, and a maximum rate of diver
sion not exceeding $40 second-feet.
Water Supply Is Ample
1T thus appears that the present
supply is sufficient to provide water
for the proposed project, with consid-
erable surplus. -
"The duty of water is assumed at
2 1-2 acre-feet at the farm, requir-
ing 62,500 acre-feet. If 33 per cent
loss from evaporation and seepage be
allowed in the laterals and five feer
evaporation in the reservoir, the total
amount required would be about
100000 acre-feet to supply 2 1-2
acre-feet on the land. The capacity

HEAVY VOTE IS EXPECTED

Berlin, Nov 25.-The announce
ment3 that the Reichstas elections
will be held on January IL finds the.
various political parties ready to be-
gin an unusually active campaign.
Indications arc that the elections
win call out unusually large per-
centage Of the voters, the people be-
ing discontented with various mat
ters The Morocco question per-
ceptibly increased the discomfort Of
the people, and it is evident from the
columns of many of the most loyal
newspapers that a general feeling
that Germany has lost prestige dur
ing the controversy with France pre-
walls.
The high cost of many of the
necessaries of life and the refusal of
the Imperial Government to make
any tariff reductions, to admit frozen
meat from Argentine, and grant
other measures of relief, has further
deepened the general discomfort.
The bitterness caused by the pro-
longed controversy over the financial
Legislation of 1909 also remains
most intense, and it will probably be
the most influential factor in the
elections, Although there are many
parties In Germany, itshas seldom
occurred that the Government
groups and the opposition parties
have been so clearly separated On
the side of the Government are the
Conservative and Clerical parties;
opposed to it are the National Lib
erals, Radicals and Socialists. Al
though the three last-named are
themselves sharply divided, it is GER
tain that they will assist each other
in many districts upon reballots,
after their own candidates have been
eliminated on the first vote.
