Test of Ditches Shows Water Flowing Ten Miles Ready for Irrigation
Government engineers report the Hermiston unit of the Umatilla project carried water through feed canal and three mains for about ten miles with no breaks, starting last week and stopped due to unprepared lands. Progress suggests water can reach 7000 acres by spring 1908, with some expected interruptions as ditches are stressed. Field work and laterals press on, with 50 miles of ditches and 60 percent dam embankment done, Pumping and storage planned to supply a full season's irrigation once lands are ready.
