Entered as Second-Class Matter April 2. 1914, at the Post-Office at
Kennewick, Washington, under the act of March 3, 1879.
WHEN the secretary of interior asked Project Manager R. K.
Tiffany what the government might do most greatly to in
crease food production in the Yakima Valley, Mr. .Tifiany is re
ported to have replied, “The building of the Kennewick extension
of the Sunnyside canal.”
Mr. Tiffany undoubtedly based his reply upon his knowledge
of irrigated farming under the Yakima project and the soil and
climatic conditions under the proposed extension. As an irri
gation expert and an engneer Mr. Tiifany knew that there was
suflicient water available for Watering the lands in this vicinity,
that the project was feasible from an engineering standpoint and
that when once irrigated the lands would be among the most pro
ductive in the United States But more than this he must have
had confidence in the owners of lands under the project. He
must have relied upon their cooperation.
‘ During the last few months the reclamation service has been
very busy verifying Mr. Tiffany’s judgment. Their engineers
have been in the field making surveys of the water supply, the
carrying capacity of the Sunnyside canal and the character of the
land to be irrigated and estimating the per acre cost of the con
struction. This work has been finished and the data compiled
has been considered this week by a board of consulting engneers.
Altho no public announcement has been made as to this board’s
findings it is understood that their decision will substantiate all
Mr. Tiffany claimed for the project. In other words there is rea
son to believe their report will be favorable.
It is rather a coincidence that within a few days after the
engineers have been called to pass judgment upon the engineering
features of the project the land owners are to be called upon to
give proof of their willingness to cooperate with the reclamation
service in making the project a success. Next Monday the land
owners are to vote for or against the organization or an irrigation
district. While there has been no audible opposition to the creation
of the district and little doubt but that the proposition will carry,
every resident land owner should go to the polls and vote. Not
only should the vote be unanimous but it should be complete. Even
tho there is no opposition the government is going to find but little
encouragement if only a small percentage of the vote turns out.
Indifference is going to count almost as strongly against the pro
ject as active opposition.
Not only will the land owners vote for or against the district
but at the same time they will elect three directors to handle the
business of the district. The three men whose names have already
been placed on the ballot have linen chosen, not because they
wanted the job, which is a tha less one, but because it is be
lieved that they can truly represent the landowners and at the
same time cooperate fully with the reclamation officials. As ,a
matter of fact, the men have been chosen already by the landown
ers in their respective districts and Monday’s election should in
fact be no more than a prefunctory matter of officially ratifying
this choice.’
Monday the polls will be open from 9 a. m. until 4 p. m.
at the Highland club house here and the I. 0. O. F. hall in Kiona.
Every landowner should feel that it is his duty.to cast his ballot.
