already been sold and there are lots
of people trying to get more land.
With the construction of the Mckay
creek reservoir will become almostt
Immediately available water for a
large area Of the remaining portion
of this land. 'It is a foregone con-
clusion that the construction of the
Mckay creek reservoir will at least
release water for 10000 acres more
land in Morrow county, which will
practically double the irrigable terri
tory in this county.
Among other things of interest to
the people of Morrow county, Repre-
sentative Sinnott said, that the last
Republican congress had increased
the Reclamation funds from 10 to Is
million dollars, which in view of the
fact that the original funds were only
s120, 100000 dollars is no inconsid-
cradle amount. Added to this he said
was the record of having passed the
house from the Public Lands Commit
tee, of which he is chairman, bill
approprating $250,O00,0O0 for Sol
dier Relief and Reclamation. This
bill is now in the hands of the irriga-
ton committee of the Senate of which
the Oregon Senator, Mr.. McNary, is
chairman. He said he could see no
reason, if this bill could pass the Sen
ate, why the John Day Project might
not stand a good chance for favorable
consideration, provided that the en-
gineers could convince the Reclama-
ton Service that it was a feasible pro-
ject.
During the last week Professor
Powers and a man from the Depart
ment of Horticulture. have been
spending a considerable time making
tests of the soil of the John Day Pro-
ject and report by the elimination of
some of the sand hills or coarser
sands and putting the available wa
ter on the better land that this is
perfectly feasible project. This pro-
ject originally cost s125 per acre but
by taking in the new land and cutting
out some Of the rougher land it is
very probable that the price even
with the advanced cost of construc-
titon will be no greater than it is at
the present time. In view of the
fact that the State of Washington is
now contemplating the irrigating of
two million acres of land in the
Horse Heaven District from the Co
lumbia River, with an acre cost of
s175, we are unable to see any rea
son why Morrow county could not
hope with a good chance of success
for the early construction of the great
John Day Project.
