USERS GET POWER SITE.
Klamath Falls The directors of the
Klamath Water Users’ association
feel elate«! over the order issued by
th«- secretary of the interior, counter
manding the order for the sal«- of the
government power site on the Kamath
river near Keno.
At th«- inception of
the Klamath reclamation project this
power site was purchased nt a cost of
$10,000. Th«- government abandon«-»!
th«- lands above th«- gravity canal and
eiinsequently has no use for the power
for pumping purposes, but the direc
tors of th«> Water Users’ association
feel that while the pump lands have
in most instances been eliminated
from the Klamath project, the time is
coming when they will again become
a portion of th«- project an«! the power
will then be needed.
Th«- directors appealed to Congress-
man Hawley and through him the
matter was present«-«! to th«- Interior
In order to hohl the site
department,
th«- government has to do a certain
amount of development work and the
reclamation service is now performing
this work.
It is not known what will
be th«- ultimate disposition of the
power site, but th«- directors ar«- plan
ning to acquir«- title to the property
by ailding its cost to th«- Klamath pro
ject. By this method it would pass
into full control of the association as
soon as the land owners paid back to
the government the money expend«-«!
in building the irrigation system.
Several corporations were roadv to
bid on the site and hail it not been for
the timely action taken by the w «ter
users the sal«- would have been made
anil in later years the land owners
might have been forced to pay a high
price for power to some private con
cern.
SHEEPMEN ENTER PROTEST.
Assessment Against Their Property
Said to Be Too High
Baker Declaring that sheep ar«- as
sessed out of proportion to their mar
ket value, and that the* sheepmen of
the county of Baker are paying more
than their proportion of the taxes on
the county and state, the legislative
committee of the Baker-Union Wool
growers’ association has drafted res
olutions to the state board of tax com
missioners asking the board to use its
infleunce
with
county
assessors
throughout the state to have sheep as
sessed at a lower rate.
Members of
the local association say that this is a
state-wide movement.
Similar res-
olutions will be sent in from every
sheep county in the state.
The res
olutions say that ewes are sold on th«-
market for $2 and yearlings for $1.50
to $2, while ewes are assessed at $6
and yearlings at $5.50 in Baker coun
ty. The sheepmen also assert that
Jerry Fleetwood, the county assessor,
is a cattleman and is inclin«-d to give
the sheepmen the worst of it.

Th».- »>utput last year was 18,000 lioxes
