L. llolgute. statu su- periiitoiHlont of water, wns suddenly abandoned, and tho parties interested, including sonic fifty water users, dii cussed the situution informally. As a result, nil the apparent diffieulties were vory satisfactorily adjusted, ami nil the parties agreed to a stipulated statement of tho facts. Many vory -vnluublo wntcr rights nro affected by the adjudication be foro tho statu board of the righto to the use of water in Littlo Kuttcc creek, inolnding the water rights for tho City of Medford, and for the Fish Lake Water company, which proposes to irrigate some (15,000 acres of land iu this vicinity. Wntcr Duty at Ik sue. Chiefly tho question nt issue was one as to water duty; that is, how much water was required for tho proper irrigation of the various crops. It seems from tho discussion that the difference was one as to tho terms rathor than as to substance. The Fish Lake Water coinpnny contended that half an inch per acre won suffi cient, !iile the water users held that a much larger amount was required. It was disclosed that both parties meant practically tho snmo thing, the Fish Lake Water compnny referring to a constant flow of witter, while tho fanners had reference to a periodic application. In both cases the amount 01 water applied to one aero during the irrigation season amounted substantially to 7fi miner's inchos, or something moro than .'1,000 cubic inches. Through n practical exnmplo of fered by W. C. Dnloy, a prominent furmor of Lake Creek, it was shown that half a minor's inch per acre, continuous flow, equaled tho extreme amount claimed by any irrigator on tho stream for tho proper irrigation of tho land. On somo very porous soils a much larger amount was re quired to enrry this volume of water over tho land. It was stipulated between the par ties to tho contest, comprising prac tically all the water users of tho stream, that half an inch per aero continuous flow was sufficient for tho major portion of tho lands, the smaller area of bottom laud requiring for tho purpose stated, a larger irri gation stream. Arthur P. Stover, for many years an irrigation expert in tho United States department of Agriculture, and a recent nddition to tho farmor popu lation of Jackson county, rendered very mntorial assistance in bringing about tho adjustment of supposed differences. Muny Users Itepresenteil. Gus No wherry, representing somo twenty wntor users; A. K. Kennies, representing a like number; O, O. Hoggs, attorney for tho Littlo Unite Irrigation coinpnny, and Mr. Smith ol Portland, nttornoy for the Fish Lalco Wnter compnny, avoided legal quib bles by bringing out tho issues on n broad plane, and mado possible the uniting of all tho interests in a hnppy and pormnnent ngroement. James T. Chinnock, secretary of tho stnto board of control, reported tho proceedings, Tho unexpected sottlomont of tho question of water duty resulted in n rapid adjustment of otlior contests, (Continued on Page 8.)
