We MAY HAVE A
FAIR THIS FALL
A Meeting Of Business Men
Called for Monday Night
to Discuss the Matter

While in Portland the manager
of this paper found the CONNER
cial Club very anxious TO have an
exhibit of the products of this
county to send to the Eastern
land shows and as those in charge
were so insistent he promised to
see that a creditable exhibit Of
agriculture would be gathered
and sent down. He met with
President Donegan and Secretary
Loggan of the Commercial Club
last evening and the matter was
discussed. Sam Mothershead
and VIM. Fare, the latter one OF
the old time directors of the Har-
ney County Fair association, were
also present and it was found
that there is q decided interest
among the business men of this
place to have a fair this fall, es-
pecially since it is desirous OF
securing a display to send out to
the land shows and after the
matter had been considered for q
time Mr.. Donegan suggested q
meeting of the business men.

the Improvement. 1t is very
doubtful whether the u. S. Fed
eral Reclamation service would
ever undertake the construction
of system of irrigation to cover
privately owned lands, as are all
the lands included in the Silvies
River project. In any event the
enterprise would be long delayed
as the service is short of funds
even for the completion Of pro-
jects already commenced. The
state. considering itself morally
bound under a Carey Act agree
ment has undertaken to fulfill its
obligation by advancing the funds
for the completion of the Colum-
bia Southern Project, and that is
all it will be able to do for the
next two or three years. The
state certainly will never be able
to make direct appropriation
for the development of privately
owned lands. An act as passed
by the last legislature providing
for the cooperation of the state
and federal service in making
preliminary Investigations of the
water resources for irrigation
and power purposes. That simply
means a survey, estimates and
securing data, and the money so
expended becomes a lien upon
the proposed project which must
be paid back before construction
is undertaken. This preliminary
work pertaining to the Harvey
projects has all been done by
private parties, the greater part
of which has become matter of
public record and available for
use. Should they fail in final
promotion.
Were local conditions more
favorable the Irrigation District
plan provided by our state law
could be worked out. This would
require an expensive election and
technical and rotune court pro-
ceedings bound around with red
tape and involves long delays.
This seems almost impossible on
account Of conflicting interests.
After these matters have been
settled the district must then do
just what the private corporation
proposes to do, that is thrash out
the water right questions and
proceed to secure reservoir sites,
undoubtedly by condemnation.
The district must dispose of its
bonds for construction money.
and if such secureties could be
marketed at all it would be at a
discount which, at tpresent, would
more than equal the prospective
profits of private concern.

There is an undertone of senti-
ment that crops out occasionally
against a private concern figur-
ing on or putting in the irrigation
and drainage systems for the
necessary development of the
Harney Valley. There is a sort
of vague idea in some quarters
that State or Federal aid should
be sought. Under any method
we cannot get away from the
proposition that the land directly
benefited must stand the cost of
