Willing to Do Square Thing.

Brand Whitlock, who doubles as
mayor Of Toledo and as a literary
man, had Chicago career. He was a
reporter on the old Herald when Pete
Dunno and Charley Seymour were his
side-kicks. Charley Chaplin was one
pi his city editors.
| Chaplin is now city editor Of the
New York Evening World, and this
story was told to Whitlock lately by
correspondent who had him under
interviewing fire:
d A new reporter had been hired on
The Evening World, and he went to
work on a Wednesday. The pay day
pm the paper is Thursday. In the
course OF week, when the recruit re-
teiyed his first envelope, he found
that he was a day short. He went to
Chaplin and complained, only to get
lhis:

cords of the limbseemed to be drawn up.
Often the pains would shift from one
part OF the body to another and, while
they were worse in my right limb, they
were very severe through the small of my
back. There was a sensation asthough
was being cut with knife. Mylimbs

'The objections most strongly urg-
ed against the west extension by any
interest is that of the village of STAN
field the people of which allege that
they will be injured by the submerg-
ing of agricultural land tributary to
that town; that the reservoir site will
cut off other lands from access to
Stanfield. and that their drainage
conditions will be injjuriously affected
by the proposed reservoir, The lat
ter objection applies only to pro-
jects contemplating the full develop
ment, and can be obviated by the
construction of scheme 4, which holds
the flood elevation of the reservoir
below Stanfield and leaves consid-
cradle surplus of water which might
be used for minor projects of flood
irrigation on the upper tributaries If
this were deemed the wisest use.

of broadminded view of the stua-

all five projects, was deemed the best
for it lends itself to further extern
sion if it is found, later on, that there
will be surplus of water not desir-
ed by private projects.
Cost Is No: Excessive.
While the cost per acre of the pro-
ject recommended by the board will
approximate 500, the success met by
farmers on the completed portion of
the Umatilla project is regarded as
sufficient guarantee that this land
can stand the cost, and yield a good
profit to the settler when his land
is brought under cultivation. The
board had the advantage of expert
ence gained on the original Umatilla
project where conditions are similar
to those on the proposed west extern
sion. and by studying results there,
old blunders have been guarded
against One of the striking lessons
learned from the Old project is that
distributing canals and laterals must
be cemented to check seepage. This
adds to the cost of bringing water on
TO the land. yet this extra expense is
regarded as necessary to make the
project a success.
One of the problems that long stood
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-02-27

such times as the necessities of the
project may require. 1t should be ex-
plicitly stated that the approval of the
project and the availability of allot-
ments is contingent upon the compile
tion of satisfactory arrangements
with not less than 95 per cent of the
private lands involved.
Delay Not to be Tolerated.
THAT whatever action is taken in
the premises should be taken with
out delay, owing to the legal status
of the water rights of the United

tiers on the reservoir site"
Scheme No. 4, (the one adopted).
contemplates the irrigation of $4,000
acres of the low Columbia territory
by gravity system diverting from
the Umatilla river at Three Mile falls.
This scheme may be considered as an
ultimate development in itself, or 1t
may be undertaken as step in a
broader scheme of development in
volving the reclamation of from
so 900 to $4,000 acres. In the latter
case 1t may be deemed desirable to
provide as large storage as practi-
cable. extending the irrigable area as
experience demonstrates the existence
of an adequate water supply. In the
estimates submitted, Scheme No.
has been considered as an ultimate
development
The diversion dam and headworks
are plain concrete structures, The
maximum height of the dam is to be
81 feet and the foundation Is SOLID
basaltic rock. The water supply for
this canal is partly furnished from
the storage reservoir and chiefly
from the return flow in the river.
The main canal serves the entire
area of $4,000 acres, has capac-
ity of sos second feet at the upper
end and is 31.6 miles long. The
north branch canal will be the prin-
cipal tributary of the main canal, ana
will serve S430 acres of high land

west eXtension-the adverse attitude
of the private land holders-is met
by proposing that lands necessary for
reservoir site. rights of way, ETC.. be
acquired by condemnation if satisfac-
tory terms cannot be made by nego-
tiation. Condemnation will guarantee
the landowner fair price, and re-
lieve the government of a possible
charge that it paid exorbitant prices
for private holdings.
Private Lands Must Subscribe.
AS to private lands that may be
irrigated under the project, the board
has provided a means whereby the
owners of this land must subscribe,
and pledge themselves to pay their
pro rata share of the cost, before the
work of construction begins, for the
board recommends that no work be
undertaken before the owners of 50
per cent of the land have signed
agreements.
The board found nothing in the va
rious protests made to justify setting
aside this proposed project, but, on
the other hand, urges its immediate
adoption The greatest objection came
from the town of Stanfield, but the
board in adopting scheme No. has
found a project that will not endan-
ger that town in the slightest degree
for the storage reservoir will lie be-
,ow the level of the town and not
prove a menace.
Some of the opposition came from
interests that favor the big John Day
project, but the board finds this can
not be undertaken now, as it is an
entirely new project, of which little
is known. The main reason for set
ting aside the John Day project how
ever, is the fact that all moneys now
available and to be available for the
next three years or more, must be
applied to extensions of existing pro-
iects. The John Day project, there
fore. is laid aside for future consid-
Grafton.
Figures May Bc Reduced.
While the cost per acre on the
west extension will be high, it cannot
be determined definitely, at this time
what the final future will be as there
are details of engineering work to be
gone over and decided later and when
this is done every effort will be made
to reduce the cost, as far as consist
ent with safety and permanency.
The board concludes its report with
the following recommendations:
The allotment of a sufficient sum
to be expended in the next two or
three years for the construction of the
first unit of the said project to irri-
gate about 10000 acres Of land by the
utilization of the seepage and return
flow from the present approved UNI
atil!a project and all other available
waters.

purchase of lands within the reser-
voir site, and that funds be allotted
for this purpose.
