Cold Springs Ditch Company Hedges Water Sale With Government Plan
A.C. Crawford of the Cold Springs Irrigation Ditch Company says if the government begins Cold Springs reservoir work in Tinatina county, the company will abandon its own 20 mile main ditch project and obtain water under the government scheme. The cooperative landowners aim to reclaim homes and may surrender land to the government if the reservoir is built, otherwise they plan a limited local irrigation plan. The tract lies about 100 feet above the Columbia River and could support a future fruit, alfalfa, or wheat economy under irrigation.
