Acres

An active campaign to secure the
..rlv construction of the Kennewick
- at the Yakima Valley irriga-
project is to be waged, as a re-
n Of the mass meeting held Mon
~ evening. Approximately zoe
.rSowners on the Highlands were
sm,sent at the meeting where all the
.aiIeble data concerning the pro-
tct we're explained. AT the con-
.,nsion of the meeting, by unani-
nous vote the above action was de-
termined upon.
The Kennewick unit, known 10
..lly as the "high line," has been
nnder consideration for many years.
FORMAL approval Of the unit has
been given the Bureau OF Recalma-
t,on in the past and many Of the
detsils concerning its construction
have already been worked out. Only
! few years ago IT was nip and tuck
= to whether the Kennewick or
Illensburg canals were to be put
= first Now the Kennewick unit
i the last uncompleted one in the
yakima project, which has been cit
"a as the most successful irrigation
project In the country.
The former plans included taking
vster from the Yakima river near
prosser, bringing 1t down In an open
canal to the vicinity Of Browns
Rock" above clinton City, there
uphoning it across the river, utiliz-
jns some of the drop for the gener-
atom Of power to lift the remand
a Of the flow to a still higher level.
The process would add about 3d.
seoo acres of irrigable land to the
heal p reject, including some Of the
test land in the county. It is thot
nat under modern construction
ieth0ds considerable reduction
:vpuld be made in initial costs, and
Hat under the new laws longer re-
pyment periods would be arrang-

After the explanation, it was de-
