IRRIGATION IS ASSURED
Work on Keen Creek Project VIII
Begin Early i'm June, Says
OSgOOd.

Work on the plan to irrigate the
Bear Creek Valley will commence in
the near future, according to the
Medford Sun, which says:
Work upon the actual construc-
tion of the Foothills Irrigation Com
pany bitches will begin early in June,
according to a statement made Thurs
day by Tom Osgood, engineer in
charge of the work. and largely con-
nected with the plans. Practically
all the acreage needed for the sys-
TEN have been secured and the final
details are in shape to be arranged
within the next ten days. In the
territory reached by the irrigation
system the farmers and fruitgrowers
are keen for irrigation.
1T is the present plan of Osgood
and his associates to have the water
ready for the land byb the spring of
1914, and to complete the major por-
tion of the work this year. Two
gangs of men will be employed-one
working on the bitches and the other
on the dam. Another object is to
have irrigation in the district tapped
by the time the travel from the Pan
anna exposition is headed this way.
THE reservoir for the storage of
the water will be on Keens creek
and it will cover about 1000 acres
with a depth of 20 feet. Work on
this portion of the system cannot be-
gin until the snow has melted in the
mountains, which will not be much
before the middle of June.
THE deficiency in rainfall in the
valley to date gives rise to the fore
cast by farm authorities that this
will be dry year like 1911, and
that it will be felt in the hot sum-
mer months"
