Attend Annual Gather

OPTIMISM VOICED
BY PROJECT HEADS
Unknown Four Years Ago
Il Has Come into Nation
al Prominence

More than one thousand delegates,
r.nresenting many communities in
Washington, Oregon and Idaho, at
.,ded the second annual meeting Of
- Columbia Basin League in Pasco
saturday. The attendance, which
- double that of last year, and the
..uor Of the addresses indicate that
htarest in the big irrigation project
= becoming more intense and wide
spread.
When the meeting was called to or
1er at Ito by President C. r. Hur-
1ey, the auditorium of the Institutional
church was packed and scores Of dele
.fates were unable to gain admission
even to the standing room areas. In
1is opening address President Hurley
predieted that work on the project
Nill begin within two years.
In submitting the annual report of
~ leagues activities Charles Heb
1ozd, chairman Of the board said:
For the Columbia Basin project
~ past year has been one Of notable
plsgress. A year ago is was purely
/ State project not even having the
support Of the entire state. Within
. sysar it has become northwestern
pRsjoet supported by a united north
wesk recognized by the federal gov
er1ment as a national project and
mown thruout the land as the nations
greatest irrigation project.
-Four years ago the project was
unknown, even to the citizens of
Washington. Gradually the faith and
efforts Of the original proponents bore
fruit in the way of an ever widening
circle Of convinced and enthusiastic
supporters.
During the past year much has
BEEN done toward preparing the
ground for the early adoption of the
Columbia Basin project as federal
primary or construction project. Civic
cfyanizations, publishers and individ-
als all over the country have aided
ne Columbia Basin league during the
year, but special mention is due three
NATIONAL organizations which have
gwen the project national recogni-

she Farmers Educational and Coop
esative Union and the American Fed
