Sale of power for commercial use and payments of farmers for "irrigation water, are planned to repay the projected expenditure by the federal government. Sefen htige dams on the Columbia and Sanke rivers are proposed, along with a barge caibal to furnish transportation to the Pacific coast. Interior department officials, *ho" have studied t;he proposal on the basis of results in the other irrigation and reclamation projects, estimate that a farm income of $79,000,000 might be produced; that 24,000 farms of 80 acres each would support s rural population of 120,000^ with a similar population in new towns, and a possible 500,000 population increase In Portland, Tacoma, and Seattle. Present land values in the basin are from $2.50 to $50 an acre, averaging less than $15. Such a development would take more than 25 years, officials here believe.
