PROJECT IN FAVOR
Experts Think Rational Irriga
tion Works Desirable.
WOULD RECLAIM VAST TRACT
Henry E. Ankeny, of Eugene, Says
the Klamath Region Contains
the Very Best Area for Such
a Beneficial Institution.
That the Klamath region contains the
ory best area in America for National
irrigation works is the opinion of F. H.
Jewell, chief of the reclamation bureau,
and of other experts In the Interior De
partment. Such is the report brought
rom Klamath County by Henry E. An
keny, of Eugene, who attended the con
ferences of Major Isewoll and citizens
rcnd land owners in the irrigable area
ttiiree weeks ago.
The land-owners -whose lands would be
reclaimed under the proposed Govern
ment project are unanimously In favor of
tve Government's entering the field, says
Mr. Ankony, and no serious obstacles
etand in the way. If the Government's
estimate of the cost per acre of'reclalm
ing tho lRnd shall be approved by the
land-owners, the reclamation bureau will
proceed to carry out the project and will
chargo the cost as a lien against the
land. Such cost is to be paid back to
the reclamation - fund in ten annual in
Ftallments. the first one year after com
7tltlon of the project. Thenceforward
the water and land rights are to be in
separable and the irrigation works are
to be conducted by Jand-owners, who,
that purpose, have already formed a
Tvater-usors association. Mr. Ankeny
ppys that perhaps 75 per cent of. the irri
gable lajid is in private ownership.
Tho next step toward consummation of
the project will be made by the reclama
tion bureau, in submitting to the land
owners an estimate of the cost. Major
2Cr-well announced that tho work could
be cheaply done and that it would cer
tainly not amount to more than 515 an
a ie. and in all probability considerably
less Mr. Ankeny says the land-owners
-cre highly satisfied with that announce
ment. Government engineers have been
Cohering data since last Summer, and
tv estimate will soon be forthcoming.
Thereupon the Government will lay its
rrop"slUon before the land-owners, and
if they shall be willing to pay the cost,
the Government will proceed with tho
project.
The money." said Mr. Ankony, "will
come out of the reclamation fund and
will be, in effect, a loan to the land
owners, which they will pay back to the
Government 11 years after completion of
the project. This use of the reclamation
?und will cost them nothing, not even
interest. Thus the Government will re
claim the land more cheaply for them
than any group or company could do it
for themselves."
According to the testimony of Mr. An
kony, only three obstacles could hamper
the project, and neither of them really
exist first, apathy of land-owners, who,
howevnr. have shown themselves intense
ly eager; second, private irrigation com
panies already in the field, two of which,
however, arc willing to get out of the
way and the third of which can be ousted
by condemnation; and third, impairment
of navigation by withdrawal of water
irom Tule and Little Klamath lakes for
draining land now submerged and for
iTigating land now arid. But the last
impediment, says Mr. Ankeny, will not
bf encountered by a National project,
Huse the general Government has ju
risdiction over navigable waters. To a
private company this would amount to a
rrally serious difficulty because of inter
state complications.
The irrigable area lies in the basin of
Klamath lakes and contains between
25.000 and 340,003 acres of land in Klamath
Ounty. Oregon, and Modoc and Siskiyou
Counties. California. Its rail connec
tions will be with the Pokogama road,
which runs up Klamath River from tho
Southern Pacific. The waters of Lost
Hiver which flow into Tule Lake will be
stored in large lake reservoirs at the
head of that stream in what are called
lPRr and Horsefly Lakes. Surrounding
Tule and Little Klamath Lakes a large"
amount of submerged and swamp land
will be drained and rendered tillable.
Among the persons who have large
swamp-land holdings and would be bene
nted, are E. P. McCormlck, of Salem;
State Treasurer Charles S. Moore, of
Kiamath Falls, and Jerry Martin, of San
Francisco, and there are smaller holdings
in the hands of many other persons.
Around Tule Lake the largest owiiers are
the Jesse B. Carr Company.
The private irrigation companies now
in the field are three' in number. One of
them, the Klamath Lake Irrigation com
pany, of which Mr. Ankeny is president,
would reclaim about 30,000 acres. Frank
Adams is head of anotlier company. Both
are willing to give way to the Govern
ment, and are content with the Govern
ment's offer of indemnity. But the
Klamath Canal -Company, a California
enterprise, has a big project of its own
In view, and is reluctant to pull but.
Mr. Ankony says that the reclamation
bureau has been considerate of his
Company's rights, as it is of all vested
zights, and that he and his associates
are satisfied.
"If the work should be left to private
enterprise," he remarked, "more than
half of the land, which tho Government
plans to reclaim, would stay useless for
ever. Tho Klamath Canal Company could
reclaim probably not more than 100,000
acres, whereas the Government proposes
to make productive more than ' three
times as much, at bare cost, and without
charging interest against the land. Fur
thermore, after the works are finished,
the land-owners have control of the wa
ter supply. This would not be the case
if they had to buy their water from a
private company.
PEDEDEATI0N BOARD MEETS.
Hears Report From Oregon Educa
tional Display at St. Louis.
At a meeting of tho Board of Federation
of Women's Clubs, held at the home of
"Mrs. I. Samuels, this week, Mrs. Rose H.
Hoyt, presiding, an important report was
received from Mrs. L. Blumauer, who ex
amined the educational exhibit i at St.
Louis. Mrs. Blumauer was requested to
examine the Oregon display. She reported
that, while the exhibit was representative
and creditable, it was not prepared nor
handled to the best advantage, and suf
fered In comparison with the displays
from California and pome other states.
The Oregon exhibit, she said, was in large
volumes and folios, and in such shape that
it could not be examined by visitors.
In this connection the board, by vote.
decided to ask that the Federation be
granted a representative on the committee
on educational -exhibit for the Lewis and
Clark Fair, and Mrs. Rose H. Hoyt was
authorized to present the request to the
Commissioners.
Mrs. L. Altman brought up the question
of getting tho public schools to open the
assembly halls for lectures and educa
tional entertainments, and spoke in favor
of vigorous action in this direction. There
was seme doubt as to the best course to
take to bring about this result whether
to present the matter to the annual meet
ing of the taxpayers, or set -it before the
Legislature. Rerefcnce was made to the
sublic utterances of Jacob Rlis in his lec-
tures favorable to the use bf the public
Echools for educational proposes in the
way of lectures and entertainments. The
club emphasized the position Mr. Klis
takes that the public schools belong to the
children, and that one boys' club was bet
ter than a dozen policemen's clubs.
It was the sentiment of the board that
there should be no cessation of effort un
til the assembly halls of the public schools
should be opened and used for educational
purposes in the several communities. In
addition to this business, the president
held consultation with chairmen of several
committees.
SHE SOOTHES THE PAIN.
Mrs. Woodcock Pays Visit to Police
Matron Simmons.
No longer does Police Matron Simmons
feel the sting of recent accusations, placed
against her by Ruth Osborne, and discred
ited by all but a few. Yesterday after
noon Mrs. M. L. "Woodcock, who conquered
Chairman Baker, crossed the Continent
and helped elect "Rosenfelt," and who has
become generally famous by her campaign
in behalf of the President, called at the
City Jail and condoled with tho matron.
So it' all right now.
"The good matron, she says to me, you
know, that this thing is all gossip, you
see, she says, and there's nothing to it,
she says. Now, then, when I came down
here," Mrs. Woodcock commented, "I
felted poorty sorrow for my old. friend,' the
matron, you see. But, after talklri' with
her, you know, I gotted over feelln' bad,
you see, for the good matron she says she
never paid a bit of attention to the stuff
that old woman said about her. Well, I
told her how, you see, that I was her
friend. You see. she knew I helped elect
Rqsenfclt, so when I told her that when
people knew I was her friend they would
not believe her guilty of hlttin any one,
she seemed glad, you see."
After arranging things nicely and tolling
Matron Simmons never to fall to call on
her in time of trouble. Mrs. Woodcock
was taken to the ground floor in the ele
vator and went on her way rejoicing.
