Uniting All Districts.

The building of the John Day and
including the Mckay and Teel pro-
jects would unite all the irrigable
lands from Echo to Arlington in a
strip Is to 90 miles wide along the
Columbia. Its total would be about
4OO, 900 acres. The development of
this vast waste means much to the es-
tate of Umatilia. Morrow and Gillian
counties 1t is written on the wall that
much effort will be required by public
spirited and enterprising citizens to
put IT across. 1t should not be left to
luck or inexperienced leaders but the
great public of Oregon should take a
hand. If the John Day and Mckay
creek projects were opened for settle
ment their wealth and population in
another decade would exceed sums to-
tai of the present, wealth, productiv-
ity and population of Umatilla. Nor
row and Gillian counties. In three
years the Boardman project was near
ly all developed, besides, many times
the number of farms would be under
cultivation at Boardman If the water
had been available. Investments in
these lands are as safe as in wheat
lands or older communities. Fifteen
years experience in reclamation work
in these districts has left scientific
heritage to all those who are to follow.
and it requires no sense of prophecy
to foretell the great future of this
awakening young desert empire.

BEING "DEVlL" CARRIES
STUDENT TO MINISTRY

BAKER, June 23.-Six years ago
Roy Melville began his shop career as
printers devil in a Baker news
paper office. He now stands upon the
threshold of the Christian Bible uni
versity at Eugene and is knocking at
the doors of the printers union. Mel
Vile has but a few months to eI-ve as
an appretice. He has been saving his
money with the aim of securing ordin-
alton to the ministry and will ply his
trade in Eugene while completing his
Transformation from devil to minister
OF the gospel. Melville expects to en-
ter the foreign mission field upon
graduation from the Bible school.

Another line Of sovernment statis-

Another line OF government status
tics show two and one-half persons to
each irrigated farm. The farm unit
usually laid out is 20 to 40 acres. This
would make over 10000 farms or over
25, 200 people on the land alone.
How much would be the annual ag-
ricuitural output? Alfalfa is produc-
ing tons per acre. Some tracts pro-
duce more, but on an average the re-
turns win not exceed this amount at
least for many years Multiplying
SOC, 900 acres by and then by the
price of hay runs into dizzying figures
in Oregon. If hay is worth $40 in the
stack it is SIS, ,o00, 600; if $50 is the
price, the John Day project could be
built with one years crop and leave a
winters supply of food for $4,000 peo-
pie. Yakima, last year. produced
nearly s540. 900. 900 worth of crops and
the John Day with the same prices can
be made to do the same. The sub
stitution of fruits, grains, vegetables,
hops, pasture and livestock will re-
duce the acreage output very little II
any This is more than the present
annual output of the lumber of Ore
gon; more than the wheat of the en-
tire state; and more than the livestock
and hay combined. 1t would be great
er than the present fish, fruit and min
ing output combined. And if the
reader will add to it the 100000 acres
now under projects. not one-fourth de-
yeloped yet, he win be convinced that
we are still in our swaddling clothes,
though lusty young babes.
Increased Wealth:
Fifteen years ago the Umatilla pro-
ject was assessed at about 5000
Its assessed valuation is now about
s3,OOO.O0O When all the land is in
cultivation the actual wealth. includ-
ing towns. livestock and ehattels win
exceed $6.00O,000. The John Day
project is Is times as large as the
East Side Umatilla project, and on
the same basis of figures its wealth
will nearly reach in round numbers
s10O,OOO,000. This is twice the pres
ent wealth of Umatilla county and
one-tenth the wealth of the state Of
Oregon.
These figures are large. They may
seem exaggerated to you who have
passed up irrigation as plaything of
promoters or pet child of the gov
ernment. They may seem large to you
who have been asleep to the great fr-
rigation development under way in the
country. They are not large in COM
parison with irrigation statistics. Gov
ernment projects alone, in 1913, pro-
duced more crops than the combined
output of New Hampshire and YER
mont The average yield per acre was
S2s on government projects while the
lverage yield per acre throughout the
United States was but s1s per acre. If
you do not believe these figures refer
TO government statistics in the agri-
.uIturaI and interior departments.
