KLAMATH FALLS.—The Cali

ready to relinquish its contract
with the I nited States govern-
ment for the building of the Link
river dam, which includes provis
ions for the storage and distribu
tion of power and irrigation wa
ter supply in the Upper Klam
ath lake, on assurance that the
government will build the dam at
once.
This
is according to a
statement of George J. Walton,
local superintendent of the com
pany, at a conference with water
users and American Legion rep
resentatives here.
The local post of the American
Legion and the water users have
asserted that through its contract
with the government the power
company could control the stor
age supply of the lake, and in
short seasons lower it to a point
where it would deprive thousands
of acres of irrigation.
The agrément suggests a solu
tion for a contraversay that has
stirred up much factional dis
pute and resulted in retarding ir
rigation development.
Its suc
cess depends at present on the
action of congress on the recla
mation appropriation bill, which
