Gold Hill to Vote
On Irrigation Bonds

One of the most important steps
looking towards local development
was taken this last week when the
two sets of managers of the Gold
Hill-Grants Pass irrigation districts
decided to call an election upon the
question of voting bonds for the pur-
pose of construction of their respec-
tive irrigation projects. The pro-
tracted dry season of the present year
with a deficiency of rainfall for sew
eral years past. have been an i'm
petus to bring this move about.

ANTOINETTE GAGE.

By extending the Gold Hill project
and uniting the two systems, the
cost of the Grants Pass projects es-
Inmates have been reduced from $76
to $50 per acre, while the Gold Hill
project from $50 to $50 per acre.
The Grants Pass district will vote
$3.50, 900 bonds, with Gold Hill $780,
900 for immediate construction Of
this extensive irrigation system.
The canal will be 33 miles long,
which will place nearly 10000 acres
in the Grants Pass district, and s.
900 acres in the Gold Hill district
under intensive cultivation through
irrigation. The water will he taken
from the south side of Rogue river
three miles above Gold Hill into a
canal high and large enough to serve
both district, including the north side
of the river and Jerome prairie, in
the Grants Pass district.
This means that the cooperation
ability of the several sections bor-
dering the river for 20 miles have
been brought behind one system,
greatly increasing the chance of sue
cess and reducing the cost of con-
struction.
The Gold Hill district election for
voting the bonds will be held October
1. The members of the Gold Hill
district managers consist Of George
B. Alden, chairman; F. D. Eisman,
