Construction Will Begin In Oregon. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, May 17. Sixty-two per cent of the land to be reclaimed by the Govern ment under the Klamath project lies in Oregon, the rest in California. In other words, 146,400 acres will be irri gated in Oregon to 30,000 acres in Cali fornia. The report of the engineers who mapped out this project -show, that the Govern ment can begin delivery of water to Irrigable lands within one year after be ginning construction, the Irrigated area to be extended from time to time there after as more money Is made available until the entire project is completed. IMans for Upper Project. Klamath Basin is naturally divided into two distinct parts. The upper project com prises the lands of Langell's Valley, Alka li Valley, the upper portion Poe's Valley and Upper Klamath Valley, with a total irrigable area of 48,356 acres. Most of the water for this part of the project will be stored In 'Clear .Lake reservoir, which Is formed by a dam 30 feet high and S50 feet long across Lost River about two miles below the junction of "Willow Creek and lx)st River. The reser voir will include the present Clear Lake and the adjacent swamp areas and will have a capacity of 462,355 acre-feet. Below this reservoir Lost River channel will be used as a waterway to Jhc point of diversion of the main canal, a distance of five miles. Horse Fly reservoir, which is an auxiliary reservoir. Is formed by the construction of a dam across Miller Creek, and has a capacity of 125,000 acre feet. The dam will be 70 feet high with a top Iqngth of 4S0 feet. Will Drain Ijowcr Lakes. The. lower project comprises lands of Klamath Valley, the lower areas of Poe Valley, Lower Klamath and Tule Lakes. In addition to the Irrigation of these areas, it is proposed to lower the water surface of Klamath River be tween Klamath Lake - and uncover the marginal swamp lands. It is proposed also to divert the waste water of Lost River to Klamath River, shutting oft the supply of water from Tule Lake and al lowing this lake bottom to be uncovered by evaporation. For the drainage of Lower Klamath Lake a cut will, be made through a low ridge below Keno through which Klamath River will be diverted. The water for this project will be diverted from the head of Link River, about one mile above Klamath Falls, and carried to the lands by two main canals, one on each side of the river. The waste and flood waters of Lost River will be diverted to Klamath River by means of a canal. Water will be diverted by this canal at Olene by a concrete division weir across Lost River. A drainage canal will be carried under the south branch of the main canal by cul verts. In -addition to the main drainage canal, a system of laterals will cover the total irrigable area fo far as is found necessary. It is said by reclamation engineers that construction will probably begin on Lower Klamath Basin, where more than 63,000 out of a total area of 130,000 acres of private land have already been signed. NO MOKE LIEU SELECTIONS Hitchcock Holds Law Means What It Says May Be Amended. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. D. C.. May 17. Secretary Hitch- j cock, in a circular issued today to regv 1 isters and receivers of local land offices, j holds that Congress meant what It , said when by the act of March 3, 1105. : it absolutely repealed the lieu land ' law. With the exception of owners of certain lunds In the San Francisco and t Grand Canyon reserves in Arizona and i the anta Barbara reserve. California, 1 who are specifically provided for by a j special act. the Secretary holds that all t right to make lieu selections expired March 3 last and local land officers are advised that they are without authority J to accept relinquishment of lands with- , in forest reserves after that date and allow the selection of rfther lands in ' exchange therefor. The Secretary says, i however, that all lieu selections made ! prior to and pending for adjudication I on March 3, 1903, may be perfected and ; patented and. if In the adjudication of j any -selection then pending, the same j should be held invalid for any reason ' not the fault of the party making the I same, another selection for a like quan- J tlty of land may be made In lieu thereof. i The repealing act -makes no provl- i slon for cases where lands within for est reserves may Jiavc been reconveyed ' to the United States,' but no selections may be made in lieu thereof where such selections, if made, wore finally re jected and cancolcd' prior to March 3, j 1305. There is now no law authorizing selections in lieu of such relinquished ! tracts. This last paragraph nu?ans that, if , any persons unaware that the lieu land ' law' has been' repealed nave relin- j qulshed forest reserve lands to the Government subsequent to March 3. I thej" -will not only be denied the, right to select lands in exchange for those relinquished, but will. In the absence j of speclnc legislation, be unable to re- J cover their original holdings "which they "have surrendered to the Govern- ! raent. The department recognizes that j the equities of the case under these t circumstances would be unsettled, but j there is no authority of law for rcstor- , ins: such lands to the person who re- s llnquished them. It is expected that Congress next session will legislate on this point and permit persons who re linquished since March 3 to recover their lands within forest resrves, other, j -wise they would- suffer hardship through no' fault of 'their own. i Tie'DifTerfKi FOREMOST "BIG STORE" ON THE PACIFIC COAST Important Information for Dressmakers and Buyers of Dress Stuffs Including Rich Colored Taffetas South Annex First Floor.
