Million Dollar Canal Plan Aims at Crook County Irrigation
A $1,000,000 Mudroe Irrigation and Power Co project in Crook county seeks to irrigate over 100000 acres in the Willow Creek basin using Deschutes River water. A 70 foot dam, a 60 by 30 by 170 foot concrete structure, will form the headworks with power plants at the dam and on the Crooked River. Premier engineers Donald Fitzgerald and eastern financiers back the plan as two rail routes advance to connect Bend, Madras, and Deschutes lands with potential four large irrigation plants in Crook county.
