small empire in the center of north
ern Oregon under the water shed of
our own Blue Mountains and all it
needs is water.
A zoo page volume has been printed
on the John Day and copies may be
found in the office of Percy Cupper,
state engineer at Salem. 1t contains
many maps and facts of great value.
The authors and compliers are John
T. Whistler. former Project Manager
at Hermiston and John H. Lewis, for
mer State engineer. Surveys were
made by many well known reclama-
.ioB engineers and funds for the work
we're provided by the State andthe De-
partment of the Interior. The work
was completed in 1916. The cost of
survey as set forth in the volume was
approximately SIPS. 10000. The first
work done on the John Day lands was
when the preliminary surveys were
made in the West End of Umatilla
County that resulted. in the adoption
of the Umatilla Project. This was in
1905. On account of the magnitude
OF the John Day the work was aban-
doned in favor of the smaller project
Field Work Resumed
Again in 1905 field work was re-
stunned by the United States Reclama-
tion service and in 1914 the Ireiimin-
AIRY surveys described in the printed
volume were completed. A large part
of the lands including Public and
Northern Pacific railway lands are
LOW held in reserve by the L. S. Rec /
lamation Service and the water rights
aud reservoir sites on the John Day I
are also held by the United States for |
future use on these lands. Rentals /
for grazing purposes are collected and 4
applied TO u. 5. Reclamation work in /
the Umatilia-John Day districts. While .
the government is protecting the lands

the directors of the John Day are en-
titled to unstinted praise for their skill
and enterprise in conducting such an
important preliminary affair in behalf
of the great undertaking. Such work
is just as necessary as surveys and
ditch digging. Success in any big
public enterprise lies first in securing
the interest and support of the peo-
Pile who may be affected. But there is
big task outlined It is not for
Boardman or the directors to do alone
but it is one set for the three contig-
uous counties and for the entire state.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1920-06-15

The development of the John Day Pro-
ject must be wholly in the interest of
the State and Public welfare and no
profits should be permitted to accrue
to the speculator. The great purpose
is the settler and the agricultural re-
turns from the products of his labor.
At all hazards the very best opportu-
nifty possible and the returns to the
State must be through his success and
not through speculation that leaves
but one bursted bubble and blasted
hopes.
I District is Formed
1 In 1918 the John Day Irrigation Dis
ltrict was formed under the laws of the
State of Oregon and it is now prepar-
ed legally to do business with the U.
Il S. Reclamation Service and to issue
bonds for construction work. A. board
of directors with C. C. Clark of Airing
ton. as chairman, were elected and II
is under stood that John H. Lewis for
merly State engineer of Oregon or a
man of similar character and wide
reputation will soon be selected as
chief engineer and more detailed pre-
liminary surveys will soon be COM
menced. Negotiations for the sale of
bonds will also be attempted. The
low state of the L. S. Reclamation
fund precludes present POSSIBILITIES of
aid from government sources. If the /
next Congress awakens to the needs 4
of irrigation in the west and makes a 4
liberal appropriation, and the Smith /
Cha amberlain bill becomes law, aid /
may be obtained under this act.
Finally, the merits of the pro-
"a
be induced to buy the bonds. The
program is large and much is yet to
be accomplished but the project is
feasible and the benefits beyond any
estimate There Is an abundant wa
ter supply. The soil is rich and the
smooth. The land values
now do not exceed $500 to $40 per
acre. With water and in alfalfa ad
joining at Boardman the same kind of
land cannot De bought for less than
s25O.O0 per acre and is yielding net
annual returns from $500 to $4,000
per acre. Under such circumstances
he cost of reclamation can be paid for Z
with less than two seasons crop. Yak I
ma valleys irrigation works cost s40,-
200. 900. The crops Of that valley were
sold last year for $36.0O0,0O0. Is the J
John Day possible?
Interest Is Aroused

 1 In making the trip up from Tan ana, the two mushers took the wrong trail at Fish lake and wandered up Boulder creek some distance before being able to locate themselves. They passed a number of deserted cabins and were getting quite hun gry when they came to a cabin we'll stocked with supplies. They also found telephone in the house, and by questioning "central' ascertained their whereabouts and the name of the owner of the cabin, with whom they later conversed by phone. They also phoned Rampant and talked with some of their fellow passengers who were frozen in on the Seattle No. 3.
 The trail from Panama to Dun-
 
 bars was in fairly good condition and the weather just right for trav- cling by foot. Upon arrival at Dun- bars the travellers caught work train and completed the remainder of their trip to Nenana by rail-
 Both Major Albrecht and MT. Taylor are we'll known in this dis trict. MT. Taylor has been a resi- dent of the North since the early Dawson days, and lived in Fairbanks for number of years. The major came North about eight years ago and, after short stay in Fairbanks, went to Iditarod and opened law offices there. Some time later, he and MT. Taylor formed a partner ship and now handle practically all the legal business in their district. They also have an office in Seattle.
 Major Albrecht expects to return North over the trail in April, and MT. Taylor will not be far behind. The two visitors are guests at the Southern during their brief stay here.

MUSHERS ARRIVE 0N WAY OUTSIDE
 FROM |DnAROD

Enroute to the States on a com bined business and pleasure trip, Major George w. Albrecht and Charles E. Taylor, of the Iditarod
 legal firm of Albrecht & Taylor, ar rived in Nenana yesterday morning and will leave for the coast tomor- row by way of Broad Pass. They started from Iditarod more than q month ago, intending to make the trip by water, but, ,after a number of transfers on the lower river, they found themselves marooned finally at Panama, with the season of navi- gation at an end. After a stay of two weeks at the army town, the two oldtimcrs hit the trail for Ne mana and arrived here none the worse for their long hike over the unbroken winter trail. In spite of his years. the major is. said to have performed like a yearling on the trail, and anticipates no difficulties in negotiating the hundred-mile mush between ends of steel
 The arrivals report that consider able mining was done in the Idita- rod district during the past season and that the output will total nearly as much as that of the previous year, their estimate for the season being between $60O,OOO and $780, 900. The bulk of the money was taken out by the two dredges oper- ating on Otter creek and by Dave Stranburg, on Flat. There were also a number of small outfits on Flat which did we'll.

 The Yukon Gold dredge on Flat was dismantled early in the season and part of the big machine was shipped Outside during the summer. The other two dredges in the dis trict, oil operated machines, worked on Otter creek, but whether or not they will be operated next summer will depend upon the result of pros pecting done during the winter. One of the machines is owned by the ] Riley estate and the other by Beaton l & Donnelly. 1

As soon as trail conditions would permit, after the trip of the Yukon had been abandoned, MT. Edmunds started for Panama overland, and the marriage took place almost immediately upon his arrival there.
 The newlyweds will return to Ne mana over the trail at an early date and will go into residence in the Browne cottage on the railroad re- serve.

RIVER IS FROZEN OVER:
 DOG TEAM GOES ACROSS

The Panama river is frozen over in front of the mission above Me- mana, and for several days past residents of the village and others have been crossing from one side of the river to the other. A dog team and sleigh is also reported to have made the crossing without difficulty, and it is expected that horses will be able to cross within a few days unless the weather should turn warm.
 Below the mission the river is clear of ice except for that along the shores, and it probably will be some time before the channel will close, for it must freeze from both sides.
 Passengers and mail are ferried across the stream in small boats, but the movement of freight between Nenana and North Nenana has been suspended until teams can cross on the ice.

COLUMBIA MENT0R
 GIVES HIS IDEAS
Does Not Believe In Special Strokes-1920 Prospects
 Are Good

Jim Rice, well-known Columbia crew coach, is indignant. Jim says he is sick and tired of reading and hearing abo A. special strokes for oarsmen, and he wants to go on record that after years of experi- erce he is satisfied to have his oarsmen row in manner that is perfectly natural to them.
 There is only one way to row." said Rice. "and that is the natural way This talk about special hitches to the stroke. or special strokes, is assuming the pro- portions of a huge joke, and the splendid sport of rowing is getting the wor-e of it''
 It is Rice's contention that so much talk about the difficulty of mastering the stroke is initiating against the popularity OF the game, and unless it is checked and thrown entirely into the discard it will be no easy matter to recruit crews in the future.
 T have all the respect in the world for the originators of these special systems, said Rice, "but it seems like a serious mistake to me to keep harping about such a thing. Every coach who has had any experience at all knows-and he ought to know it well--that coaches are many times obliged to shape their plans to suit the men. Not all crews are alike. Men start rowing in as many different

DUNDEE CLAIMING
 LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE
Johnny Claims That Cham pion Leonard Can't Make
 Required Weight

New York. February 26 26-(speclal.)--
 billy Gibson, Benny Leonard and Johnny
 Dundee seem to have formed q little cor
 poration of their own. Dundee. after
 battling Leonard eight times-without damage-has come out and claimed the lightweight title on the ground that he can do the legitimate weight for the class. while Leonard cannot make even iaS without amputating a leg. Dundee says Leonard should move up into the Welter class, to which Leonard and fsib- son say nothing, but smile knowingly.
 That there is some substance to Dun dees claim that Leonard can no longer make l35 pounds, is best attester by rie fact that the champion will not agree to make weight anywhere near the light weight limit. The last time he fought Dundee the champ agreed to weigh less than l4O. which meant he entered the Eng weighing close to 145. Dundee made t35 at 30 clock on the day of the contest ana he had no trouble to make the poundage. Added to the weight claim, Dundee says he is the only lightweight in the game whom Leonard has been unable to beat decisiveiy. Jimmy scouts the idea that Leonard could have stopped hin, any time he cared to in the last meeting, but this bit of testimony is not taken seri-  ously since Johnny dismissed his manager and has been seen in many friendly con ferences with Leonard and Gibson.
 That Leonard has better than an even chance to knock off Jack Britton is con ceded to by nearly all the leadlhg ea.j.ern critics. Jack has stalled off meeting Leonard several times in the past eig-t months. and does not now seem particu- arly anxious to battle Gbson's charge lhe coming summer, judging by the man ner in which he has neglected to reply to offers from eastern clubs.
 Even though there may be no other -ruths in Dundee's claim on the light weight title, it must be said he is One f the most active lightw sghts the game has ever had. Dundee as fought lozen battles this year, ~ f present he s hooked up for at leas .her dozen He will prvk lsy have nance to clash with Lew Edwards, sem a ational Australian champion, who is un- Ter Tom Andrews management early 1 n the summer

AUBURN QUINTET
 ID MEET CLUDDERS
Plainsmen Visit Birming- ham Saturday to Play
 B. A. c. Team

The closing game of the local baseball season will be played Saturday night, when the Au- burn Tigers come to Birming- ham to clash with the Birmnig- ham Athletic Club Quintet.
 The Tigers and Clubbers have met [ once before this season, the game re- sulting in a victory for the Plainsmen. The Auburn quintet is the favorite to win Saturdays game. although the Clubbers are expected to put up a mighty hard fight for the decision.
 link Gillian, invincible B. A. c. guard, might be able to get into the game Saturday. Tink was injured be- fore the last Alabama game, and he ha sbeen limping around on a cane ever since. However, this ankle is mending nicely now, and in all prob ability he will be seen in action against the Tigers.
 Coach Hutsell has been keeping his men down to hard tacks lately, and Saturday night should see the Clubbers in excellent condition.
 Since o. B. Newman, Howard Col 1ege center, has joined the Athletic Club team, local stock has risen several points. Newman is said to be the best cageman in the south, and 1t is cer- tain that there are few who can equal him at tossing baskets or guarding op- ponents. Newman should make good man for the, club team.
 The game will begin at S:3o and will be followed by a big dance in honor of the Auburn players and students who journey to Birmingham to witness the game.
