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.
