EXPERT OPINION.

Last week Steve 0. Jayne spent a
couple of days in Oroville looking over
the proposed irrigation system known
as the East and West Okanogan VAL
ley irrigation districts. Mr. jayne
was not here as prospective bidder
to take charge of the work He came
through invitation from an old person.
al friend. one of the members of the
trustees. or board of directors who
desired the unprejudiced opinion of a
disinterested engineer an engineer
who from experience being capable
of giving expert testimony. Now Mr..
Jayne is in that class. Although a
young man he is considered by those
who l:now to be high up in his pro-
fession. Besides his theoretical knowl-
edge he has had much actual exper
ienc@ on irrigation construction. In
pnncctiCn with government reclama-
tlOn projects it has been his aim and
privilege to gather vast fund of in
formation by visiting every irrigation
project, finished and in course of in
stallation, in Washington and Idaho,
and securing pointers in conference
with older engineers as well as by
personal inspection. There are older
heads than that of Mr.. Jayne. yet few
that contain more solid information
upon this particular subject. Few
men are better fitted to pass judgment
upon the feasibility and advisability
of projected irrigation scheme, an
when his opinion is asked his pro-
fessional reputation would not permit
him to decide adversely to his honest
conclusions after thorough inspection
After going over the ground and view
ing the source of water supply Mr.
Jayne stated freely and without
reservation that the East and West
Okanogan Valley Irrigation projects
were not only the most feasible of
any o. the many that had come under
his observation, but that owing to the
short distance necessary to convey
wat,r from the source of supply, and
the general topography over which
the distributing main bitches and lat
erals were to be constructed the sys-
tens had less drawbacks and could
be constructed at more moderate
cost than any system inagurated en- a
large scale in the state.
Such favorable and unbiased state
ment by Mr.. Jayne is not only cheer
ing to report, but encourages every
body to feel that there will be little
difficulty in securing necessary funds
to carry out the proposed plans. The
writer is especially pleased as he has
known Mr.. Jayne since the young man
was a lad, has watched his career
through college, and into positions of
responsibility and trust. An opinion
favorable to the enterprise coming
from him carries weight, for he can be
rolled upOn urthormOrp ba WAS
not Influenced by hopes of reward, or
expectations of future emoluments. 1t
was simply an opinion based upon
facts as they exist, coming from ripe
experience and clear judgment. 1t
will encourage the directors to re-
double efforts, feeling that those eff
forts will eventually be rewarded by
the perfection and operation of the
systems that they have already so
earnestly worked for and which mean
so much for the speedy settlement and
development of the large acreage in
the valley that is to be watered.

last year if some estimate could be
made upon the probable size of the
shipments to be expected.
Co operation undoubtedly spells the
solution of this problem but such 4
move needs a leader and takes a
mighty sight of solid planning ana
equally as much hard work organiZ-
ing. out things are young at this point
now and movement of this nature
could be started and perfected at this
time with the least effort possible. As
the business men of Oroville will be
among the first to feel the cash bene
fits 10 be derived from an organization
of the growers of the valley, their
Conn. ercial Club or committee out
of the same. should father the organ
izatlon of q substantial fruit and vege-
tabl, growers association and see that
the child is properly born immediate
ly and carefully reared in the seasons
to come.
Last season was the first time either
vegetables or melons were shipped on,
of Oroville and Dooley p Wheeler was
the first and only grower to test the
outside markets in this manner. His
efforts met with such success that
mu, n increased acreage has been
planted to these commodities this year
Mr.. Wheeler branching out to the eX''
tent Of something over thirty acres all
in $ ,all truck At considerable eX
pense and tremendous labor Mr..
Wheeler has opened good market for
all h can raise as he has proven the
quality Of MS goods and an honest
pach
Mr.. +. L. Stansbury has had certain
parts of the Nelson market cornered
for good many years and is firmly
est blished along many lines of truck
with the substantial buyers of that
vicinity
J. A. McGinty is still another valley
grower who has by honest produce
and hard labor opened permanent
market for the harvest of his irrigated
ranch among the ranchers of the hill
country to the east of him.
These are just few examples of
the zen in trucking lines who are
making q success of growing paying
crops among the tree rows. The coun-
try Is rapidly filling up with new set
tiers and we could name scores of men
who how have planted from one to five
and even ten acres of small garden
truck who are just starting and Will
spend the best part of this seasons
profits opening market for them
selves Many others would have been
gla1 to do the same had the market
situation been assured by an Organi
zatior of responsibility.
Tie experience of all irrigated sec
tiens shows conclusively that the big
money is made through well conduct
ed selling organizations of which ali
or at least a majority of the growers
are members. Quick, honest action
along this line means immediate anG
added prosperity to our valley. Enough
crOD Is now in the ground to warrant
the starting of fair sized marketing
organization and it will be money
saved for the upbuilding of the COM
mun.rY to act at once.

There can be no comparison in
any balanced mind between the
peaceful method of the law and the
system under which men would
rush to Washington and sue for alb

very thing for which our govern

uniformity to all men, to rich and
