WILL BUILD DAM
AND EAST DITCH

The Talent Irrigation district has
financed its water project to the ex-
tent of $4,000 to date, having
Just completed the sale OF $474,000
In bonds to a syndicate composed OF
G. E. Miller and Company, of Port
land; J. r. Mason and Company, OF
San Francisco, and the Citizens Ma
tiOnal Bank, of Los Angeles. Bonds
in the sum of $295,OOO have been
previously disposed of.
1t is the intention of the district
to construct the Hyatt Prairie stor-
age first and follow with the Emil
grant creek storage as soon as the
amount of water used and the irri-
gable area justifies its construction.
The decision to build the Hyatt
Prairie storage first was made for
the following reasons:
fllots maj pidiiS VI Tue Ellll-
grant creek high dam showed that
the cost for the amount of acreage
signed up might reach s1.25 per
acre.
Second: The bonding companies
refused to finance a high acreage
cost scheme when one practically as
good could be obtained at less cost.
Third: The final order of the
state water board definitely defin-
ing all rights on Bear creek made
the Hyatt Prairie storage sufficient
beyond doubt for 1000 acres, which
Is approximately the irrigable area
signed up under the storage at the
present time.
The approximate total gross acre
age In the district Is II 900 acres,
1850 of which is now irrigated from
Mcdonald creek, and about 1900
acres receiving a partial supply from
the spring and summer flow of Bear
creek.
The estimated cost for the 1000
acre unit is $94.5O per acre, and the
cost for the final development Of
the entire 1000 acres is $1O5 per
acre. The latter area is practically
all of the land that 1t is possible to
reach with the present plan of grav-
fty flow of water. Both of the above
estimates are liberal and the work
should be done well within the esti-
mated cost, since many things have
been reduced in cost since the origi-
nal figures were submitted on this
work. Contrary to the usual pro-
cedure on irrigation districts in this
state, the bonds have been sold so
that bids can be called for and the
work let to the lowest responsible
bidders, thereby removing the OBJ
stacle Of "cost plus" which has
caused so much cost to be added to
the estimates in many of the irriga-
tion projects.

SALE OF OIL LANDS DID
NOT INCREASE EXPENSE
SAYS 8. p. BULLETIN

Regarding a newspaper report
that some Southern Pacific company
employees believed the sale of the
railroad company's oil lands to the
Pacific Oil company has resulted in
an increase in expenses of the rail-
road, the Southern Pacific Bulletin,
just off the press, gives the follow
ing facts:
"The operating expenses of the
Southern Pacific company have not
been increased one dollar through
the sale of its oil lands; instead they
probably have been decreased
through some employees being paid
by the oil company who were for
merly paid by the railroad. Away
back in 1903 the rule was established
that the market price OF oil used for
fuel should always be charged in
the operating expenses Of the COM
pany. The company has not at any
time paid more than the market
price and it is at that price that 1t
Is now purchasing oil and charges
are being made.
"The practice of the company was
adopted by the United States rail-
way administration Threetfourths
OF the oil produced was, and is, light
oil not suitable for fuel and it had
to be sold for refining purposes at
market prices, and fuel oil pur-
chased or exchanged for it on the
basis of market prices.
"The amount of money received by
the Southern Pacific company for
these oil lands was $43,75O,000. II
has had this much more money to
invest to provide additional railroad
facilities, which means offering
more opportunity for employment.
In other words, this amount of capt
tai has been released from oil lands
where 1t was tied up, and put into
active railway service. 1t was not
given to the bond holders or stock
holders or anybody else, but has
been put to work. The rate OF divl-
dend to stockholders of the Southern
Pacific remains as It has been for
many years, 6 per cent. Interest
charges remain unchanged by this
transaction, except that as the com
pany has had this liquid capital on
hand, its need for borrowing money
has been lessened.
"The lands that were sold to the
oil company were not part OF the
Southern Pacific's property devoted
to railway operation. The value OF
the land itself was not included in
the valuation of the property on
which a return is to earned under
the railway transportation act, and
its revenues and expenses were kept
thereof. The company's
fuel oil supply has been protected in
connection with the sales whereby
the company pays only the ruling
market prices for its fuel OIL"

a deet of tugs to bring her up the
