Malheur irrigation plan stirs Ontario petitioners
Ontario residents press the Malheur irrigation project as unfairly treated by the Reclamation Service. They cite proposed land reclamation of about 100000 acres with 15000 acres owned by the government and 25000 by a road company. Public support centers on government action to finalize irrigation across the Malheur district and adjacent lands along Bully and Willow creeks amid varying cost estimates and land takings.
