In his annual report the director of
the United States reclamation service
discusses at length the work in progress
on the Klamath project. For the irri
gation soasou of 1907 canals, laterals
and structures for covering 20,500 acres
were ready for use. The area ready
for operation lies in two districts, one
o? these in Tule lake, with the town
of Merrill, near the center. In this dis
trict 6500 acres are under ditrhes. The
district is covered by the old Adams
canal system, and receives its supply
of water temporarily from the lower
Klamath lake. The othor irrigated dis
trict lies contiguous to the town of
Klamath Falls and under the first sec
tion of the main canal as constructed
between Upper Klamath lake and Olene,
Or. Under this district are about 14,
000 acres of land, on which construction
is completed. The water supply for
this district is taken from Upper Klam
ath lake.
Squirrels Prove Costly.
Of the estimated 20,500 acres under
ditches about 3500 acres were irrigated
in the Merrill district and about 6000
acres in the Klamath district, a total
of 9500 acres, leaving 300 acres under
ditch in tho Merrill district and SOO0
acres in the Klamath district not irri
gated. The greatest item of cost of mainte
nance has beon duo to the depredations
of squirrels nnd gophers, and the next
importance has been due to settling he
low grade of banks built from the fine
light earth.
Dnring lflOG the rate of wages paid
laborer for an eight-hour day was .$2.88
per day, and hired teams were paid
$2.10 per day for two horses. During
1007 laborers' wages have varied from
$'2.24 to $2.4S per day and teams re
ceived $2 per day.
Nine-Mile Canal.
The main canal, now constructed to
its first principal diversion point, has n
length of nine miles and a maximum
capacity of 1500 second feet. Keno ca
nal, now under construction, has a ca
pacity nt its head of filifi second feet.
The total length of canals on the lower
project when completed is estimated nt
75 miles of main and l.U miles of later-
ils. The Keno canal also provides for
development of power to the extent of
iibnut 2000 horse power.
Investigation of the drainage of the
Miarshrs around Lower Klamath lake
has been carried on during the past
ve-ir. The amount of excavation re
antral to drain those marshes bv grav
ity 's large and the question of treat
ing them by means of dykes and pump
ing hag been considered.
Clear Lake Reservoir.
The Clear Lake reservoir site has a
ennncitv of 400.000 acre feet nnd an
area of 25.000 acres. For this storage.
a dam 30 feet high and 50 feet long
will be required. Either a rock fill or
masonry dam is suitable for this site,
but on account of the spillway capacttv
required, a masonry dam has some ad
vnntages. Designs and estimates hav
been made for both, but the type to In
f infill v used has not been selected
There will also be required a low dam
about 4000 feet long to close n gap at
the south end of Clear lake.
