SALEM An extension of tlmo on the 75,000-acre Benham Kails con tract, a portion of the 240,000-acre project of the Central Oregon Irriga tion Co., will not be granted If the recommendations of State Engineer Lewis to the Desert Land Board are approved. Tnis matter is considered as en tlrely separato from the North Canal contract, which has been a bono of contention In recent negotiations. It the Iicnham Falls contract Is ap proved, It Is asserted from the ortlce of tho state engineer, storage In the Crane Prairie reservoir site may de feat the construction of tho larger and what Is considered the moro log ical reservoir on tho main stream. The proposed dam will be Just abovo Iicnham Falls and can hold back Hje the entire flow amounting In 1909 to 1.200,000 acre feet, or enough to re claim more than the present segre gated area. New Survey 1'lanncd. The state engineer Is now cooper ating with tho United States Geolog ical survey on a survey looking to the preparation of a comprehensive plan for the highest development of all the waters of the Deschutes. The state engineer says every a vallablo drop of water at Bond should be diverted or stored for irrigation purposes. He says there are enough power sites on the upper tributaries and the lower river to supply all fu ture demands, and that to hinder or complicate Irrigation development at the only possible diversion is to limit the future development of this sec tion. This surplus water from this larger reservoir, he says, can be di verted onto lands in the vicinity of Prlnevllle or conveyed to Agency Plains. In making his recommendations to the Desert Land Uoard, State Engl nee Lewis says In reference to the Central Oregon Irrigation Company: "It was my undemanding at the meeting Saturday night that the board would execute a supplemental contract with the company relative to the Benham Falls segregation, ex tending the time for filing topograph ic maps one year from granting of the Crane Prairie reservoir right of way, such extension not to bo longer than October, 1915; this promise or the board being conditional upon finding no objection after an exami nation of the Benham Falls contract. "I have looked over the Benham Falls contract and would like to see one section amended at this time, if the extension is granted. I refer to section 12, wherein the company is given a 35-year franchise for tho de velopment of power through the Ben ham Falls canal. There is of course no objection to the company's devel oping power during the summer, to the extent that water Is used through the canal for Irrigation, but they should not be permitted to run wa ter through the canal In tho winter season; first, because every drop of water not diverted for Irrigation in the vicinity of Bend, can, and should be stored for Irrigation purposes; second, because such power right if not limited to the water conveyed for irrigation during the summer Is very largely In direct conflict with the rights of the settlers under the proj ect who will depend upon tho winter storage for the next season's use; and third, because It should be the policy of the boardto see that the waters of the Deschutes river be put to the highest use. There Is an abundance of water power In that section where Its development will not conflict with irrigation. Kxtenklon Ik Opposed. "I am opposed to any extension of the Benham Falls contract, becauso tho company admits Its inability to do anything towards the reclamation or this 76,000-acre tract, unless It Is so fortunate as to sell the contract to someone else who can handle the same, or until after the completion of Its present project near Bend. Un der transportation, financial and oth er considerations at the time when this company may be able to under take reclamation, a more favorable contract might be secured by tho state. "Such extension may defeat tho highest UBe of the waters of the Des chutes river, in that the remaining unappropriated waters may not be sufficient to warrant the construction of the most logical storage reservoir In the upper Deschutes river basin. "This department Is now cooperat ing with tho United States deologlca! Survey in a survey of the entire Des chutes river basin with the view to Issuing a Joint report on the water power possibilities of the region. It is expected that a deflnlto policy for systematic development can be out lined. For this further reason I would recommend that the state's hands be not 'unnecessarily tied at this time through an extension of time." who dropped out of school boforo the Christmas vacation, havo returned.

ADVERSE DECISION Supreme Court Itendeni DrcUion of Interest to Totpajer of Crook. The state supreme court filed an opinion yesterday afternoon adverse to the Jackson county road bond Is sue, declaring the law authorizing the Issuance of such londs did not provide the machinery for execution. Judgo Ellis received a telegram from the clerk of the supremo court last night to this effect. Crook county peoplo aro much In terested In this opinion Inasmuch as a similar bond Issue has been con sidered for this county and a mass meeting called for February 5 at the county seat. The meeting will be held and probably some action taken looking toward an amendment to the law which has been cast aside by the highest state tribunal. BELL FOB nisTHurr ATTOHNKV.
