MANY CLAIM WATER.
Numerous Filings on Oregon Streams
Recorded at Salem.
Salem— The numerous filings that
1 ave been made on the waters of rivers
and mountain streams for power pur­
poses in this state during the past year,
have awakened intereet in the ques­
tion of the electrical possibilitiee of-
Oregon.
Many of the power projects have good
financial backing. The majority of the
recent filings, indeed, are said to eman­
ate from the same source.
The doctrine o f beneficial use which
it is desired to Apply to the waters in
all strearha of Oregon*is responsible for
much of the activity displayed of late
As the law stands, any one can file on
water for power purposes, and by doing
a small amount of work each year can
prevent any one else from appropriat­
ing or using the water. This rule ap­
plies to irrigation and a movement is
on foot to change the law so that no
man can appropriate more water for ir­
rigation purposes than he can pnt to
good use. 8tate regulation of the flow
and distribution of all waters is fast be­
coming a principle of law in all the arid
land states. To regnlate abuses and
prevent their repitition, the leading
wateruaera are preparing to urge numer-
ou8_changes in the law, so tl^at the
ownership of the waters in all streams
and lakes shall vest in the state, for
the use and benefit of the people.
If thiq is done, it will be necessary
to make carefnl surveys and measure
the fljw^of all streams that the water
may be equitably distributed.
