Under the Butter Creek Project
water would be diverted from
Camas Creek, a tributary of the
North Fork, to supply water for
5000 acres of land along Butter
Creek and Umatilla River. About
1000 acres would be developed
in the same area by use of storage
at Nelson Meadow Reservoir on
Camas Creek.
The John Day Project, much the
largest of the potential develop
ments, would involve the irriga-
ton of 227, 900 acres of new land.
All of the irrigable area is outside
the John Day basin, on the Co
lumbia River slope to the east.
The area would be served through
Clarno Reservoir with storage
capacity of 1,250,000 acre-feet and
Eight Mile Reservoir, having
capacity of 10000 acre-feet.
Deschutes River Basin-Exten-
sion of existing irrigated acreage
holds the greatest promise for
relatively early future develop
ment in the Deschutes River
Basin. In the more remote fu-
ture, the great power potentialities
of the lower Deschutes possibly
aggregating 100000 kilowatts ca
pacity, may merit development.
Preliminary investigations suggest
Is sites ont he lower Deschutes
and three on the Metolius. It is
estimated that 101, 500 acres can
be irrigated in the basin and a
supplemental water supply be pro-
vided for 60, 500 acres of land now
irrigated. Irrigation is being ex-
tended to $4,000 acres on the
North Unit Of the DeSchuteS Prof.
ect, now under construction.
Crooked River -Basin.-In the
Crooked River Basin three po-
tential irrigation projects are un-
der consideration. The Paulina
Project, in the valley of Beaver
Creek, tributary of upper
Crooked River, would involve ir-
rigation for $500 acres of new
land and supplemental service for
100 acres now irrigated. A res
ervoir would be constructed on
North Fork Beaver Creek.
The Post Project would irrigate
$4,000 acres of new land and pro-
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1947-04-03

vide supplemental water for $500
acres. The water supply would
come mainly from the headwaters
of the North Fork of the Crooked
River. The Crooked River Prof.
ect, situated in the lower basin in
the vicinity of Prineville, would
involve the provision of supple
mental water to 10,100 acres, and
the irrigation of 8,400 acres of
new land. The Warm Springs
Project, 6,5O0-acre addition to
the 1900 acres now under irriga-
ton in the Warm Springs Indian
Reservation, is planned by the
Office of Indian Affairs. ..a
White River Basin.-In the
White River Basin only one de-
velopment is contemplated, the
Wapinitia Project, embracing 21,-
600 acres of new land, and 2,200
acres requiring supplemental
water. $500
Klickitat River Basin.-Within
the Klickitat Basin, enlargement
of the existing main canal and
extending it to intercept the West
Fork of the Klickitat River would
make a full supply of water avail
able for $4,000 acres of new land
and a supplemental supply for T.
600 acres, on the Glenwood Prof.
ect in Washington. +
East of the Klickitat Basin, the
Upper Horse Heaven Project, con-
tanning about 100000 acres, could
be irrigated by gravity diversions
from the Klickitat and Cispus
Rivers. ........@
The Dallas Project.-The report
suggests the ultimate possibility
of irrigating large acreage in the
vicinity of The Dalles, Oregon. As
an initial step, fastened by UNI
usually dry conditions during the
past few years, investigations
have been rapidly advanced for
plans to irrigate approximately
$500 acres in that area now large
ly in fruit production.

.Horan Asks Barrett
To Seek Cooperation
OF Police Agencies

Chairman Horan of the House
Appropriations subcommittee for
the District budget, said today he
had asked Inspector Robert j. Bar
rett to seek better ordination
with other police agencies when he
becomes chief of Metropolitan Police
next week.
The matter was brought up yes
terday when Inspector Barrett and
Walter H. Thomas, acting police
superintendent, appeared before the
subcommittee to answer questions
about the budget.
Mr.. Horan said Inspector Barrett
agreed to obtain letters from the
heads of other police agencies which
would lead to a comprehensive
working agreement, eliminating
overlapping jurisdictions and no
mans lands AREAS not designated
specifically to any agency.
At present, the Metropolitan po-
lice must fill in any vacant spots not
already assigned to another agency,
Mr.. Koran added. Counting mer-
chant police, there are eight differ
ent types of laW-enforcement bodies
in the District, he said.
The plan would not entail legis-
lation, but would clearly define
boundaries and make for more eff
cient police cooperation, Mr.. Horan
said. Earlier he had sponsored leg
islation to combine the various
forces, which include the Park Po-
lice, Capitol Police and White House
Police. The bill was withdrawn be-
cause of public sentiment against it.
Inspector Barrett had no comment
on the proposal today,
