Umatilla irrigation project hailed as best yet
The Umatilla project near Hermiston Oregon is described as the best yet. It covers about 20 000 acres of volcanic loam with access to rail stations at Hermiston Umatilla and Cold Springs. Water supply from the Umatilla river will fill a 1300 acre reservoir and cost about 60 per acre to the landholders, with homestead openings planned in 1909 for parcels from 16 to 40 acres and water service charges pro rata.
