Secretary Jones Outlines Plan at lrri.
cation Meeting.
Denver-F,irst Assistant Secretary
OF the Interior A. A. Jones, in his
speech opening the irrigation congress,
in the House of Representatives cham
ber at the statehouse, outlined the
plans of the Department of the Inte-
rior for the rehabilitation of irrigation
development in the West as follows,
stating, however. that these proposals
We're but suggestions TO be worked out
into definite form at the conference:
In the case OF smaller irrigation
projects, careful organization on the
basis OF thorough investigation and
the best engineering. so as to obtain
capital at a low rate of interest, and
thus relieve settlers of the heavy bur
den OF oyerbonding and high interest
rates.
In the case of the larger projects
a plan OF cooperation in financing be-
tween the federal and state govern
ments. to be worked out. it was hoped
as the result OF the conference.
In this connection Jones made a
statement of great significance.
This vas that the question is com
ing up whether the government is to
be reimbursed in full. or to what ex-
tent. for money advanced. Already
100000 900 had been spent in recla-
nation and it would require 10000
600 to complete projects now under
way This statement will make an
opening in the discussions that the
government should put water on its
lands for settlers at no charge, or at
less than the actual cost, as some are
contendng
In order to bring about the desired
new era in irrigation development new
legislation by the states and by Con
gress would probably be necessary.
Jones statement that the Depart
ment of the Interior had not lost any
confidence in the merits of irrigation
was received with applause. He was
followed throughout with the deepest
interest by the most representative
western gathering ever assembled in
Denver.

Corvallis. There are about Is houses in
conrse of construction now, and more
than 100 will have been built during the

private residences but are furnished
with one to several extra rooms that

In some instances the entire second
