voko nnil Cancel Approval Llt of
IciihI Itomalnlng Untold and To
Forbid Further Saint of Same.
(Special to Tho Bulletin)
. SALKM.Teb. 16. Too question ot
whether tho Desert Land Hoard shall
revoke, and c'incol all approved lists
ot lands remaining unsold on the
Central Oregon project and forbid
lurthor salo of lands until tho canals
nro enlarged sufficiently to supply the
anSount of water designated In the
company's contract, will be threshed
out before the board next week.
The matter has been brought to an
Issue by two resolutions prcsantod to
tho board last weok It Stite Engin
eer Lewis and a roport from john
Dubuls. who was appointed by tho
board to make an Investigation with
epeciat reference to the list of lands
recontly submitted by the company
for certification and patent. The
board postponed action on tho reso
lutions until officers of the company
could be given an opportunity to ap
pear before tho board in defense.
They havo been Invited to meet with
the board for this purpose.
In his resolution referring to the
contemplated enlargement of the
Central Oregon canal, Mr. Lewis says
that "it is apparent that tho Central
Oregon canal must be enlarged from
tho end ot the present enlargement
to the entrance ot the stave pipe. In
order that It may properly serve the
sold acreage below said stave pipe. '
He points out that as the contract
with the United States for tho recla
mation of the lands oxplres October
17, 1915, this enlargement cannot
await possible financing ot tho North
Canal project, and he requests the
loard to order this enlargement be
foro the irrigation season ot 1914.
His second resolution Is an order
to revoke and cancel all Approved
lists of lands remaining unsold and
to forbid further sales.
Itcport of Dubuli.
In his report to tho board. Inspec
tor Dubuls finds that the oanal cap
acity is not sufficient to supply water
to the lands already sold, patonted
or listed tor patent. He says:
"As to the condition of patented
land on the segregation as a whole,
it thus appears that 17,400 acres of
Irrigable land are patented and list
ed for patent, under tho Central Ore
gon canal, and that 17,224 acres of

Irrlgnhlo land nro patented or listed
for patent under tho Pilot llutto
cannl, or n total ot 34,674 acres for
the entire system,
"Tho maximum unto capacity ot
tho North Cnnal In Ita present condi
tion Is less than 170 bocoiiiI foot, TUo
maximum capacity ot tho mnln Pilot
llutto flumn diverting water above
Uond Is about G20 second feet. In
tact, tho record falls lo show nny
time during tho past season when
such Hume carried this amount of
water. Wo thus havo a total of 690
cubic feet per second of water to
Irrigate 34.674 acres. This would
be an ample capacity nt tho rate ot
one second foot for 70 acres. For
reclamation, one second foot of water
must bo delivered for each 100 acres
of irrigable land ns provided in set
tlors' contracts. While n dotatlod re
port on Boopagc losses has not ns yet
been prepared, tho fundamental tacts
show that tho average canal losses
tor the system na n whole tor tho past
two soasons arc nbout SO per cent of
tho water diverted from tho stream.
This would tenvo only 345 second
feet available for delivery to tho
land, or sufficient to irrlgato 34,500
acres. This is 174 acres less than
tho Irrlgablo cren already patented
or listed for patent.
"It therefore appears that furthor
lands cannot bo approved for patent
until tho carrying capacity ot exist
ing canals is increased. Under tho
Central Oregon Canal tho maximum
amount of water which can bo crowd
ed through tho Intake structure is
313 second feet of water, which with
60 per cent Ions Is not sufficient to
supply tho 17,450 acres heretofore
patented or listed for patent. It Is
undoistood that this deficiency will
1 remedied In tho near future whor.
It Is apparent that this portion of tho
cannl will carry a somewhat larger
quantity of water. Out no additional
amount of water can bo spared from
the Pilot llutto Canal system until
the North Cannl is put in such shnpo
as to carry an increased quantity of
water."
Statement of State Knginecr.
Accompanying Mr. Dubuls' roport
was a statement from Stato Engineer
Lewis. Ilesatd:
"From n careful summary of nil
avaliablo data relative to tho Central
Oregon Irrigation Company's Project
it uppears that 25,573 acres of Irri
gable land havo been sold under the .
Central Oregon Cnnal. In addition I
to this, 7,477 acres ot irrigable land I
are now open for entry and sale. The j
total area of Irrigable land under this i
canal Is 37,134 acres, of which 4.0S4 '
acres have not as yet been opened '
for entry and sale. !
"This canal recently enlarged will ,
not deliver the contract amount of
water for the lands sold, and open for i
sale, pn the hauls of 30 per cent seep
age loss. While tho seepage studios
are not complete, yet it Is clear that
tho canal losses are far In oxcees Of
the 30 per cent allowance, and may
even reach 60 per cent.
"The nresent canal with an allow
able loss of even 35 per cent will not
supply tho lands heretofore sold and
thoso patented. Including those listed
for patent. It will therefore bo Ira
possible for mo to npprovo for patent
tho 3,600 acres embraced In the list
recently submitted by tho company.
"In view of tho very serious situa
