TO RECLAIM WASTE LAND
Completion of $150,000 Dam Marks
Era in Reclaiming Vast Tract.
Klamath Falls. Water is now flow
ing over the Lost River diversion dam,
constructed to reclaim particularly
the bed land under Tule Lake, and to
send Lost river s pour into the Klam
ath river, eight miles distant The
scheme worked was by building a dam
which would back the water in the
low Lost river until it flowed over
the dam into a high-level canal, which
would carry It about ten miles distant
to the higher level of the Klamath
river, thus keeping the water from
spreading otS toward the Tule Lake
country.
While the water Is being thus di
verted Tule Lake will have a chance
to evaporate. The water is now going
over the dam to the extent of about
two inches in depth, or about 200 min
er's Inches per second, and the canal
dug to carry It is running about a foot
deep with water. The reclamation en
thusiasts in the Klamath basin are
exultant over the completion of the
$150,000 dam, as it is believed to
mark an era of development in the
work of bettering the land conditions
in this section, and Is the start of a
solution of making tillable 40,000 acres
now waste. ,
