Wallowa Valley Dam Plan for Irrigation Loan
A Washington report says F. H. Newell agreed to advance a reclamation fund loan to build a dam at the head of Wallowa River to raise water levels for irrigation across about 10000 acres. The plan promises repayment by beneficiaries, detailing a $75,000 cost and a potential $1 per acre impact, with aim to reclaim foothill lands now above ditch systems. The project would span Wallowa lake outlet to create higher levels for waterways feeding the surrounding valleys and streams, potentially transforming the region's agriculture over several years. The interior secretary would consider the scheme, with settlers seeking support for irrigation access and land reclamation.
