DEPARTMENT OF IN
TERIOR MAY ACT.
Lewis Introduces Resolution at Des
ert Land Board Meeting to With
draw Request for Extension
of Time on Contract.
SALEM, May 10. (Special to The
Bulletin.) If a resolution prepared
by State Engineer Lewis Is approved
by the Desert Land Board, as seems
probable, the fate ot the 74,198
acres of the so-called Benham Falls
segregation will be left entirely in
the hands of the Department ot the
Interior.
The resolution, as drafted, would
withdraw the board's former petition
asking for a five year extension in
time on Oregon's Segregation list
No. 20, and would relinquish all
right, title and Interest ot the state
to the lands Involved.
The resolution is based upon the
statement that "the greatest public
good will come through holding these
lands Intact for reclamation under
some feasible plan, but It appears
impossible to outline any feasible
plan whereby the same can be re
claimed under the provisions ot the
Carey Act."
Lewis AgainKt Early Plan.
Investigations made by Mr. Lewis
in connection with the proposed com
promise plan to water some S00O
acres by enlarging the Arnold Ditch
company facilities, seem to have con
vinced him that such a project '-
not desirable. Mr. Lewis, who re-,
eently returned from Bend, states
that the Arnold "rigH ' pfotaW
would cover no more than 1000
acres; that the proposed develop
ment would necessitate flooding el
at least some of Crane Prairie, anT
that probably the effort suggested
to develop the land wonld bring in
junction proceedings from those In
terested in the Deschutes River from
a power producing standpoint,
V. 8. May Open Land.
Mr. Lewis states that the resolu
tion. If adopted, would have no other
effect than to leave the 'disposition
of the segregation entirely up to the
Department of the Interior.
As through the resolution the
state would go officially on record
as withdrawing its previous request
for an extension ot time on the con
tract, this, presumably, would mean
that the Department would entertain
no further requests for extension. It
is pointed out that the probable ef- '
feet would be for the government to
open the lands to homestead entry.
The only alternative to Buch a
course would be to further preserve
the segregation as a unit, pending
possible future .irrigation develop
ment. However, It Is argued, such
a step seems Improbable in view of
the fact that the co-operative survey
ot Central - Oregon projects made
some years ago by the government,
established the fact that the Benham
Falls project was the least desirable
and most costly of the several tenta
tive and possible projects in the in
terior. Resolution Introduced.
