IRRIGATION IN
STATE PROGRESSES


During the last month consid.
cradle progress has been made In
irrigation development in Oregon
Notwithstanding the adverse con-
ditlon of the bond market. How
ever, most of the activity has been
along the line Of investigations
preliminary to the issuance of
bonds.
Owing to the unfavorable condi-
tion of the money market irriga-
ton districts in general have been
urged to withhold bond issues un-
til conditions were more favorable,
excepting in those cases where
construction work is in such con-
dition that failure to proceed
would entail a loss.
One unit of the Talent irrigation
district in Jackson county has been
completed and water has been ap-
piled to the lands Hereunder.
Work on the second unit of this
project has been postponed for the
present on account of the unfav-
orable condition for the sale of
bonds. The district fortunately
is in a position that it could sus-
pend further construction without
adversely affecting it.
Josephine Pumps Completed.
The preliminary pumping units
or the Grants Pass irrigation dis
trict in Josephine county have
been completed and water is be-
ing delivered to the lands in this
district. Plans have been ap-
proved for the construction of the
permanent gravity system, and
work on this system is under way.
An investigation has been or
dered by the irrigation securities
commission of the Summer Lake
irrigation district in Lake county,
which district contemplates the
irrigation of approximately 1000
acres of land lying along Summer
lake, with the water of the Ana
river. This district has request
ed the certification of 100000
in bonds.
