Malheur Irrigation Scheme Expands Lands in Oregon
Baker City Democrat reports U S government irrigation work in Malheur county. A $150000 effort builds a 200 foot high dam on the Malheur river and a 46 mile reservoir system that will flood six miles by two wide, with canals extending fifty miles to farmland. The plan aims to reclaim 160000 acres, split ranches into 80 acre tracts, and support multiple alfalfa crops yearly. Engineers bore artesian wells to test aquifer for efficient irrigation.
