Water Users Plan to Reclaim Malheur County Lands
The Malheur county plan centers on a government aided irrigation scheme by a Water Association to reclaim 10,000 acres along the river. It proposes 160 acre shares, a $2.7 million capital, and ten annual installments repaying the reservoir cost, with water rights inseparably attached to land. A mass meeting in Yale will discuss accepting the government reservoir proposal and stock subscriptions.
