Kditor Tribune: In your issue of the ISth inst. is an ( interview with State Kngineer Lewis that is a repetition of n goodly lot of I eiicoiiibe that has been published jo extriishely over this state, that I wish j you would find space for this explana-j tion. Mr. Lewis snys: "If an irrigation company was J formed to divert the surplus waters of i the upper Kogue river on to the fertile! valley near Medford, it would doubt less be confronted with threatened lit i- gatioti by the power interests at Gold Iiav. If this companv has tmv rights! thev should be definitely recorded and protected by the state. If they have not a right to the entire flow of Kogue irr the public is entitled to know the ct. ' ' V.'hv not When people have expend ed half a million dollars in a power plant what kind of idiots would they be to let s.-nie other people take the water out of the stream to their injury a ud loss .' V. tii Mr. Lewis would not d- that. No man .-an be honestly de iin-d to do so. and stuh criticism is i:np'asi. fial-Ie mid n n w arra iiled. If the pnblii- ..r anv one ibires to know the 1 h' of tin coin ;a ny owning the r plant they can easily ascertain sa 'lie bv learning the atnmin t of rigation bill that would have been the greatest imposition on the people of Or egon that was ever enacted, and by se curing the indorsements of a few good men were about to force it through the legislature. The bill contained uncon stitutional provisions that even a lav man should be ashamed to urge. The first one was a declaration declaring all unappropriated water to be public. The gentlemen who were urging the meas ure imagined by sm-h prnvi-dori that the right of riparian owners on streams where they might be living as land own ers for 5t) years could be thus abol ished. In vain we st rived to convince them that the right of a riparian owner was a property right and might be very valuable for power, and that un der the constitution could be taken from the owner for a public purpose only and for a just componsat ion. The gentlemen were d. af to nil entreaties. "Take the wh.de bill or none of it,' was their slogan. We were t .mi. iing. now oi tuo supreme court, came down and be annihilated.; Mr. King came and the first informa- tion he gave them was that such a pro- ' vision was unconstitutional ami should I be stricken out, and out it went.. This! was all that the power .'Minnanv at Gold ; Kay had ask.., and about all any other similar company had requested. " There were other provisions of the bill that were indeed onerous. It provided for a beau roe rat ic administration of water rights. For instance, if a dispute arose between different cdaimants it was brought first to u water bailiff. From the bailiff's decision an appeal could be taken to the water commissioner, and from his decision the appeal must be taken to the state engineer, whose office is at Salem. From there it would go to the circuit court of the county where the ditch was situated. A young man might live long enough to get it to the supreme court. This practice would have made the state en gineer the head of nn important bureau, which would have called for assistants and legal advisers and clerks numer ous, but it would be quite expensive. What reason there was in failing to pro vide for a direct appeal from the bailiff to the court no sane man can deter mine. Another provision of the original bill required the attorney-general to com mence suits in the name of the state to determine the rights of claimants of water on all the streams in the state. On Kogue river ami tributaries there are over o(K) users of water. If this bill had passed they would alt have been brought into court and required to litigate against each other, although there was no trouble between them. 1 could not comprehend the reason for this provision until a wise gent who was supporting the measure I his hand. He told me that he n9 associates had liin.imo acres nil in -.UM.-in iiegoii miner ciiiiiriiv . that if this act passed the attorn' J oral would be required to litigaf water rights, and with a decree ip court showing the amount of unap propriated and the amount avails could file o ait and go east n?H bonds enough t buy the land tfUt water on it and ch an up a ' V? money. ' ' I believe Oregon needs a water law and in irrigation disflj should be administrative, but tiihl up a bureau with a chief at Sulfbo had to pass upon all disputes! the courts cuuhl hear them. or r kre quire the attorney general to h pie into court to settle water whether any one wanted to irrj not, and to benefit promot to supersede the constitution 1; lative enactment, was a ridieuJ fort to supply the existing neefven if oppo ; by owners of poweJntfl. It an irrigation law is not eim office of state engineer could abolished. It is now chiefly . tal. 1 he collection of data abJ fall and irrigation is hardlv a for its continuance. t HOUKRT G. Sf II.
