fully shlolded from public scrutlny
horcrtofore. Permission has been
gained to uso excerpts from tho re
port In reaching a conclusion aa to

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

Mr. Hoover asks you to save butter, lard, suet Mazola
is a pure, vegetable oil for deep frying, sauteing, short
ening wonderfully economical.
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.
