BASIN PROJECT
is POSTPONED
Construction at This Time
is not Justified in 0pin-
ion Of Department

Text of the government report or
the Columbia Basin project, which
holds that construction of the project
at this time is not justified, and
shows clearly that DR.. Elwood Mead
commissioner of reclamation, has nc
intention of recommending the pro.
ject for construction. The report is
signed by DR.. Mead and John HI. Ed
wards, assistant secretary of the in
terror. The report was submitted to
DR.. Hubert Work, secretary of the
interior, and it is held certain that
his conclusions will be in accord with
those of DR.. Mead. DR.. Work and
DIR. Mead, on their recent trip thru
the Yakima valley, were convinced
that federal reclamation here is a
success.
s'The report of the board of re-
view agrees with previous reports in
regard to the project physically feas-
ible; the land is fertile, the water
supply adequate, the climatic condi-
tions make possible large yields of
general crops, and variety Of or
chard and garden products" says the
Mead report.
Tl,e outstanding feature of this re-
port is the attention given to the ag-
recultural and economic requirements
Of the project along the lines of the
reclamations of the fact finders COM
mittee. Two of the boards economic
conclusions contained the following
recommendations
"That the state should assume its
proper. share of responsibility for coll
lecting payments from the settlers,
and should also bear its proper share
of the losses, if any, incident to the
development of the project.
"That the government should clear
and level the land and provide a rea-
sonable financial credit for necessary
farm improvements. Also, as guar
antee against land speculation and
to insure that the settler secures the
land at its fair value, that the gov
ernment acquire title to all the irri-
gable land within the project.
''Your commission continues the
Mead-Edwards report, "has no doubt
that the time will come when local
and national interests will require
the construction of these works and
the utilization of these immeasurable
valuable resources. 1t does not believe
however, that this time has arrived,
or that the bureau of reclamation is

NEW ARTESIAN WE'LL
is DUG AT HANFORD
Has 80 Pounds Pressure and Gives
Fine Flow of Water
741 Feet Deep

Quite number of Hanford people
nave visited the new artesian well
owned by Mrs. Condor of Hanford
and Jerry Ford of Seattle and which
is located on the Yakima road in the
Cold Creek section, says the Hanford
Herald last week.
The well has the largest flow of
any in that district. 1t has about 80
pounds pressure and flows about 300
gallons per minute from ten inch
pipe. The well is TAI feet deep and
the heavy flow was struck at a depth
of 732 feet. 1t will be drilled IL or ID
feet deeper if the pressure is not too
great to prevent further drilling.
The land on which the well is To-
Gated was owned originally by Mrs.
Condor, who sold half of the acreage
to Mr.. Ford and they gave George
Scott of Portland 200 acres for drill
ing the well. This leaves Mrs. Con-
don and Mr.. Ford with 200 acres
each.
Mrs. Condor has had two offers
for her interests at good price but
is undecided as to selling. Surveyors
arrived here Monday to survey the
land. The we'll was brot in after
nearly two years of adverse condi-
tions during which time it was neces-
sary to start new hole, tools were
lost and many other obstacles en-
countered, but the owners have been
rewarded with bringing in the largest
well in the Cold Creek district.
