(Special to Tho 'Bulletin) Stato Engineer Lowla la forwarding to tho Director of tho Central Oregon Irrigation District, Ho Attorney Claudo McCulIoch rep resenting that district and to Jcaso Stearns representing tho Central Oregon Irrigation Company, state ment surrounding conditions on tho project to bo usod In effecting n set tlement botwoen tho district and tho company aa to tho maintenance and sale of lands on tho project. Tho statement la of extra Import ance becauao It Includes In It tho Ar chibald report, which has been caro fully shlolded from public scrutlny horcrtofore. Permission has been gained to uso excerpts from tho re port In reaching a conclusion aa to tho sottloment between tho company and tho district. Data Li Given Tho Desert Land Board at a rec ent meeting approved tho district plan, but did oo with the understand ing that a compromise should bo reached between the settlers and tho company on tho question of unsold lands and their maintenance and It Js to furnish a basis for such an adjustment that Stato Engineer Lewis Is furnishing his data. Mr. Lewis' report is as follows: Pursuant to your verbal request, we havo examined tho Archibald re port and our records, and beg to submit tho following: According to Archibald's report tho Central Oregon canal will serve 29,419 lrrlgablo acres and according to hla roport there aro now 29.G5G lrrlgablo acres of sold or unsold patented lands having a call on this canal, or after deducting tho high and undesirable tracts, 29,335. These areaa include excess acreage. They also include certain of tho North Can al lands which havo a claim on the Central Oregon Canal. According to tho records of the Desert Land Board there are 26,691 lrrlgablo acres sold under the Cen tral Oregon Canal and 2,674 acres of unsold patented lands, making a total of 29,365 acres. These areas also Include tho excess acreage. According to Archibald's report tho Pilot Butto Canal system will servo 20,230 acres and according to this report tbero aro now 20,965 acres of sold or patented unsold land depending upon It, or deducting the high and undesirable tracts, 20,756 acres, or 526 acres more than tho canal system can serve. These areas Include tho excess acreage. , Kxplaln.H Discrepancies Accordiug to the records of tho Desert Lond Board there aro now 18,292 lrrlgablo acres sold undor tho Pilot Butte canal and 1,919 acres patented but unsold, making a total of 20,211 acre3 dependent upon the canal. These areaa include the ex cess acres. Tho discrepancies be tween tho various figures aro doubt less duo to cancellations and sales occurring since tho Archibald report waB prepared and a slight difference In classification of lands, that Is to say whetbor they should be properly served from the Central Oregon canal or the Pilot Butto canal or tho North canal. According to tho records of this office, thoro aro remaining unad justed 2944 lrrlgablo excess acres of which 1357 aro under the Central Oregon canal and 1587 under tho Pilot Butto canal. Summing up therefore and assuming that the fig urea taken from tho records of the Desert Land Board aro moro nearly accurato at tho present time than 'those In tho Archibald report, It would seem that tho company has unsold patented lauds, subject to ualo, under tho Central Oregon canal, 2674 acres and under the Pilot Butte canal, 1919 acres, making a total of 4593. In addition thereto there aro 2944 excess acres to which It would seem the company can sell wator under tho agreement recently approved by tho Desert Land Board. Delivery Not Easy Attention Is called to tho fact that there aro certain North canal lands which aro so located that water can not be readily delivered to thorn from either of tho present constructod canals. These lands have been in cluded in the above areas, mot of matter somo provision should bo mado for giving tho settlors on thoso lamia nn opportunity to trailo for lands which mny bo sorvod by ono or tho othor of tho constructed canals, or mako othor adjustmonta with tho settlors. It la nrobahlo that tho Des ert Land Bonrd -would not aanctlon tho salo of wator to tho so-called ox cess acreage- on any othor torms than thoao undor which It has recently approved, namoly, $20 por ncro for lands undor contracts Form 1 and 2 and $26 por ncro for thoso lands un dor contract Form 3. Howovor, this la ono of tho Important uinttors which should bo adjusted botoro all materi al concessions to tho company aro mado. Tho attltudo of tho Fodoral Gov ernment Is Important. Mr. Archi bald, In his roport states that until tho excess ncreago question Is ad justed, no further lands containing excess ncreago should bo patented. In patent lists 9 and 10 thoro nro 2139 lrrlgablo acres of sold land con taining excess acres. Thcso settlers aro entitled to nn early adjustment of tho question. Itcport is Haul It should bo understood that tho forogolng figures aro based upon Mr. Archibald's report, and aro approxi mately 20 per cent In excoss of what tho Stato Engineer has heretofore been willing to accept as a basis for patent. They aro not based on tho present capacity of tho canals to deliver tho contract amount of water, but ap proximately 10 por cent In excess. That Is upon tho basts of 40 per cont seopago losses, whoroas present losses aro approximately 50 por cent. To reduce canal losses to this amount would cost about $144,000 according to tho cstlmato by John Dubuls. Then again, tho abovo figures as sume that 10 por cent of tho water, which sattlcrs havo heretofore pur chased, will not bo dollvcred or used by such settlors, as part of tholr lrrlg ablo land will bo occupied by build ings, roads, stock yards, rights of way for fonces, canals, etc. This Item Is of courso material to tho company. For 4,593 acres abovo listed, at 40 equal 1183,720. Should this item not bo allowetl, it is apparent no further sales could bo permitted. Tho two Items from tho Settlers' standpoint will .therefore approximate 1327,000. If these material items to tho com pany aro compromised, at this time, it appears that all other -ttcms, ma terial to the settlers should also be adjusted at this tlmo. Putents Important The most important is tho ques tion of patents. Settlers desire deeds so they can borrow money or sell. There are over 22,000 acres in Patent Lists 9 and 10. This area contains 2,856 acres of unsold land, which If not eliminated as recom monded by Mr. Archibald will olther indefinitely postpone patents, or re sult In a further compromise with tho company, as this Item at $40 per aero represents $114,240 to such company. Since priority of salo gives old set tlers a better right to water than present or future purchasers from the company, the settlors are Inter ested in seeing that tho Company agrees at this time not to sell more water under the North canal than approximately 4,000 acres as recom mended by Mr. Archibald, without providing storage. Settlers under tho Pilot Butto canal -will rccclvo water from tho samo sourco, and are vitally interested in this matter. Mr. Archibald says: "before any lands can bo patented, and tho stamp of approval thus placed on tho water supply for tho entire project, It would seem that all of tho land In Segre gation Lists 6 and 19 undor the North canal, except possibly three or four thousand acres should bo relin quished." Settlers under tho first form of contract may only bo entitled to one second foot for each 160 acres, in stead of 100 acres as under tho third form of contract. Mr. Archibald says: "It would, therefore, appear that it his matter should also bo ad- Justed by either amending tho State's contract, or executing a new contract between tho Stato and tho Company before the said land in Patent Lists 9 and 10 Is approved for patent." No Cuuho for Controversy. With tho settlement of these dis puted questions, no further contro versies need arise, with unfavorable publicity as to seopago losses, ade quacy of canal capacities, water sup ply, etc. Land values would accord ingly Increase, and land sales take place. If agreeablo to tho settlers, I would bo glad to cooperate In adjusting all disputed questions at ithls tlmo, I liavo attempted to outline only tho Important questions. It must bo understood that only approximate figures can bo iglvon on account of tho continuously varying conditions and the fact -that no two ' d herein nro hollovod to ho ns ac curate as any that can bo socurcd, Trusting 'this Information mny ho of assistance In adjusting mutters, I nm Very respectfully, JOHN II.

MAZOLA With the Nation-wide movement to save animal fats tho housewife is confronted with a serious problem if she would continue to serve fried foods. Thousands of American homes have found the answer in Mazola, the pure cooking and salad oil from corn. Because Mazola is a vegetable oil and because a thorough test on the part of housewives has proven that Mazola is more practical, more economical than tho old cooking mediums. It makes fried foods digestablemi the great big factor tor economy in Mazola is that it can be used over and over again does not transmit taste or odor from one food to another. A recent demonstration showed that the samo tinful of Mazola could be used eighteen successive times for deep fryingl Mazola is fine for salad dressings, too. Get Mazola from your grocer in pint, quart, half-gallon or gallon tins. The large sizes give greatest economy. Also ask for the. free Mazola Book of Recipes or write us direct.
