Abstract
"Yakima water users are particularly fortunate in comparison to water users in the Chelan district, L. M. Holt, supervising engineer of the United States Indian service stated today upon his return from a 600-mile survey trip of Washington Indian reservations. In Chelan, orchardists are paying $25 an acre for maintenance and operation costs on their water systems, in some cases, and $18 for 1 1/2 acre feet is a common price in that territory. The great cost of getting water for lands is laid to the expensive pumping systems used to get water from Chelan and the Columbia river."
