JL LEQSOJJ SAID .SATISFIED KiipOTt Followins Controversy Finds Water Rights or Govern ment Arc Held Secure. THE SUNDAY OREG ONI AXr PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 28, 1920 DAM IS NEEDED, SAY CHAMBER INQUIRERS KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Nov. 27. (Special.) Regulation of the upper Klamath lake by the building of the Link river dam is necessary for the irrigtion of the 50,000 acres under . ditch in the Klamath basin, declares the report of the chamber of com merce committee which conducted a hearing of the controversy here last week. J. H. Carnahan, commander of the local American Legion post, the most active opponent of the power com pany's building the dam under the existing contract, declares he is satis fled with the report and will cease .' opposition if the modifications of con tract proposed ther-in are adopted. The committee finds that the United States water rights are., secure, and cover all waters of the Klamath wa tershed, the Klamath lakes, river and tributaries, except for 355 second feet held by the California-Oregon Power company under prior filings. If the upper lake were properly reservolred, the report asserts all available lands could be irrigated, some 250,000 acres, and there would be an excess of 1500 second feet to be used for power gen eration. Report Given In Part. The report says in part: From the evidence introduced, it has been found that for the irrigation of the 50,000 acres now under water regulation of va lata aa a stnrasrA reservoir is f necessary. The experience of the past two years shows that not only no more land may be brought under irriga tion without the use of storage water, but that the present 50,000 acres now under arrigation would not have had a sufficient supply of water except for the fact that the lake was regu lated by the construction of. the temporary timber crib dam by the California - Oregon Power company under its contract for the construc tion of the permanent dam. This permanent dam will cost approxi mately $250,000, and in addition to this outlay it is incumbent upon the California Power company to meet all damages to property and interests along the lake occasioned ' by the raising or lowering of the waters of the same. We find that the run-off of this watershed is such : that under proper regulation there " will be sufficient water for the irri : gation of all lands as might be feas ; ibly irrigated and that there would ; be an excess of approximately 1500 ". second feet which could be utilized for the generation of electrical power for Irrigation pumping and for the .'-development of local industries and ', for domestic use. Failure to build f this dam-to required height to afford ; sufficient storage capacity would de prive the locality of the wealth to ' be derived from the potential power ; in the natural run-off. Company Merely Agent . It is our conclusion that under this contract California, Oregon 'Power 4 company is acting merely as the agent of the government and has not ac quired nor will it acquire thereunder any rights to the waters of upper - Klamath lake or its tributaries. The report closes by advising against abrogation of the contract ? but recommends modification of three 5. paragraphs, following suggestions by the Legion in making it clear that the .. government shall not be limited by i ar.y wording of the contract as to the amount of water it may use in future development of the Klamath project. , The report was signed by the full i board: J. W. Brewer, chairman and - Ben S. Morrow of Portland, George Offleld, J. A. Gordon and Charles T. ' Xarley of Klamath Falls. funds," according to the attorney general's opinion.
