Suit Starts Today on Question
Of City Water Rights on Santiam
By DON DILL
(Pictures on Page 1)
The first hearing in the Marion
county circuit court of the sia;t
Initiated by Gardner Bennett,
Stayton. against the city of Salem
In which Bennett seeks to restrain
the city from diverting water
from the Santiam river will be
heard taxlay. Any fears that the
proceedings might disrupt the
city's water supply were discount
ed by Carl Guenther. city water
manager, when he pointed out
Wednesday thnt the city has the
privilege of condemning the Ben
nett rights in the amount nee died
to supply the city.
Bennett's suit was Med Sep
tember 21 after the city refused
to comply with a letter from Ben
nett to the city- water commission1
asking that the city stop divertimg
water from the Santiam during
the seasonal low period this sum- '
rncr. Little .vtion is expected to
be taken in the firvt hearing to
djy. except that the city of S.i
lem. represented by C"aion and
C.irxHi. will ask that certain por
tions of the complaint be made
mo: e definite and certain, and
th.it certain parts be stricken.
Dates Back to 1R66
Prior water rights of Gardner
iSennett dates back to 1866 when
A D. Gardner of Stayton filed for
vvjter rights on the Santiam, ac
cording to a Marion county circuit
court decree of February 1, 1945,
and the Salem city rights as erf a
19J3 agreement. However, the
Oregon Woolen Mi Us and the Ore
gon Pulp and Paper Co. and the
city of Salem have power water
rights dating back to 1856, ac
cording to the state water recla
mation commission and hydroelec
tric commission. These water
rights are all superseded by a
state law requiring a flow of 50
cubic feet per second of water for
the preservation of fish life.
Under the water rights Ben
nett is allowed 812 cubic fet per
second, the Oregon Pulp and Pa
per Co. 254 feet, and the city of
Halem water commission 22 feet.
The Santiam river in periods of
high water ha a high of 30,000
feet per second to a law of 500
feet during the summer. Conse
quently, Bennett contends, the
city of Salem should not divert
any water from the river when
the flow is below that allotted
Ber.nett.
Salens I'ses S Wells
The city of Salem in establish
ing its water works at Minot
ldand just north of Stayton on
the Santiam prepared three 60
foot wells each of which has a
maximum capacity of two million
gallons of water per day. Also a
series of seepage lines controlled
with head gate, much like hori
rontal wells, provides a normal
flow of eight million gallons of
water per day. All this water is
taken in one line to settling
basins where foreign materials
are separated from the water, and
then through screens which re
moe any particles of dirt or de
bris. The water then goes directly

ef the eldest Mack walaat trees
by pipeline to Salem where it Is
purii'ied and chlorinated. None of
th's water comes directly out of
the river, but is from natural
seepage.
In summer during the dry pe
riod water from the Santiam is
diverted into a channel on the
we.-, end of the island and al
lowed to run down the island to
two more channels where it flows
back into the north and south
bran -hes of the Sanliam, accord
int; X'j Carl Guenther, Salem water
manager. The water thus diverted
seeo- into the gravel of the island
maintaining the water level of the
well-. Guenther pointed out. The
water diverted in this manner,
however, does not exceed ten cubic
feet per second, according to esti
mates by Guenther. The water
from the seepage wells is almost
entirely adequate to take care of
Salcri's requirements, and only a
fev. hours of pumping by one
pump is done during the day.
Rises In Het Days
The average daily consumption
of w. ter by residents of Salem is
at. ut five million gallons. In the
dry summer months consumption
of water will reach 11 million
gallons for two or three of the
hottest days. With two pumps and
the seepage wells maximum pro
duction of water is easily held to
12 million gallons. This leaves an
adequate reserve without the use
of the extra pump.
Thus the water supply of Sa
lem would seem to be assured in
any eventuality, what with the
right of the city to condemn any
property adjacent to the island,
and the offer of hte paper mills
to tell a portion of their water to
the city in an emergency, Guen
ther said.

grade or higher; or by an authen
ticated copy of the record of the
executive department having cus
tody of the veteran's service rec
ord. Prbve Lawful Admission
After filing his preliminary ap
plication the veteran, in some
cases, must prove lawful admis
sion to the United States, and
obtain his service record. This
will take two to three weeks, ac
cording to information received
by Judd, after which the veteran
may file his petition for naturali-

the United. States but lost their
citizenship due to service in the
armed forces of an ally may re
gain their U. S. citizenship by ap
pearing before a naturalization
court and taking an oath of alleg
iance to the United States.' An avf
plicant may prove his former cit
izenship by presenting a birth r
baptismal certificate, or may show
the original certificate of natural
ization or ; furnish information as
to the time and place of the na
turalizatton.'
Wives Benefit
All wives of citizens of ,the U.
S. are entitled to special naturali
zation benefits if they are of a
race eligible for naturalization,
and information concerning these
benefits may be obtained from
the county clerk office.
At the present time there are
21 persons applying for naturali
zation with the Marion -county
clerk. Of these, five are veterans
of the last war who are taking ad
vantage of the special benefits si
lowed them before the December
31 deadline. A naturalization
court will be held sometime early
