Umatilla Plan Favored Over Malheur Project In Oregon
Government officials consider the east Umatilla project north of the Umatilla river near Echo as superior to Malheur for first reclamation in Oregon. Chief Engineer F H Newell cites land quality, alkali concerns, and cost per acre as key factors. An interview with J T Whistler outlines a plan diverting river water to Cold Springs reservoir site, with a 90 foot dam to serve 16,000 acres and additional 18,000 acres under claim. The project depends on nearby landowner support and may incur about 50 dollars per acre for full irrigation, or 20 dollars for flood or winter irrigation.
