The first cost of any certain project may be less than some other project, but the annual) upkeep cost of irrigation, which, | like taxes, goes on forever, on the cheap project may in a couple of seasons more than make up any difference which may exist as first cost between the projects offered for development. SEQUIM PROJECT SUBMITTED LAST YEAR Many people have an impression that land settlement is a new thing in this state, but it was actually latinched by the 1919 legislature. ‘The Sequim project was first sub- To select 1920, This treagurer, commis sioner df public lands, state draulic engineer and president state college, investigated various tracts offered the state and after having # soil survey made by state college experts and an engineering examination in reference to irr tion costs on our project, the board asked the incoming legislature for a larger appropriation and a fun of $300,000 was provided. With the new state code reclamation board was dissolved land settlement was placed w the director of conservation and development, @ post now occupied by Dan A. Scott of Ritzville. Mr. Scott called for new offerings for land settlement; the American Legion appointed a committee of three to investigate various projects. and one member of this committee, Fred M. Weill of White Bluffs, was appointed. Weil was, chief advo- tion board in August, board, consisting of the nd “| cate of one of the tracts offered, so the Sequim Commercial club filed a protest with the state commander of the Legion on Weil's appointment, but he remained on the committee recommended. News dispatches from Olympia indicate this recom- mendation will not be accepted and I feel thedirector is absolutely right in this, , MAKING FIGHT FOR LOGGED OFF LANDS | OVER $100 AN ACKE mitted to the former state reclame: | and the White Bluffs project was| wealth, has geen carried on during] the past We have the original and only large irrigated area in Western Washington where! the first cost does not exceed $20 per acre and the upkeep is never | over $2 per acre.
