ARBITRATION PLAN SUGGESTED Percy A. Cupper. Hccltes Conflicting i:iementN Wlikli Hinder Project' Development District Control . J Thought MoHlHntlifnrtory. i It in the recommendation of Percr ! A. Cupper, ntato engineer that thn settlorn on tho Contral Oregon Irri gation project and tho C. O. I. Com pany should avail themselves of the services of tho Desert Land Hoard to arbltrato tholr differences and onco and for all como to a settle ment. Thin recommendation was contained in a report to tho Desert Land Hoard In which it wan also rec ommended that tho proposed con tract between tho C. O. I. Com parry with tho Lone Pino Irrigation Dis trict bo withhold from approval for at least 90 day. Mr. Cuppor's" report In full In as follows: "Tho Contral Oregon Irrigation Companx proposes to deliver water to tho Lone. Pine Irrigation District and cancel an equal area of Irrigable pat ented land In tho project, asserting that the procoduro under Section 6 of tho Contract of June 17, 1907, i permits of such transfer. Tho d la- tojJnct,on11 between this transaction aad tho ordinary transaction under this section Is In the area of tho tract embraced and the fact that tho land is all located beyond tho extreme limit of tho project, requiring a sub stantial modification In tho Irriga tion system. It would seem, how over, that this would not necessarily put It beyond tho application of sec- tlon C above referred to, which reads i nit tnMrwx'm " 'It Is further agreed by and be tween the parties hej-eto that no water rights for lands not embraced In this contract shall bo sold by tho party of tho first part except upon written application to tho Stato Land Hoard, and the citicejlatlon of an icqual area of Irrigable land embrac ed In the contract. Tho specific tracts In this contract to be cancell ed by tliccconii.Davty shall bd de slgnitM in tho written application of t?-o ilrst party. Tho salo of water rights to lands not embraced In this contract as above provided shall be mnita militant ,i tlm ti'itti,. in.m. .in, I conditions in all respects as lands In thin contract.' A number of the Hoard rulings have limited the company In tho ap plication of this section, however, and no land would bo nvallablo for cancellation exeept tho unsold pat ented land, of which there, are some to deliver water to these 1.000 acres In addition to a dollvery of l.S aero feet to all other lands served from the canals, then it would seom that section C of the contract would under ordinary clrcunistnncos bo applica ble. Consider Water Supply. "Tho settlers hnvo rnlsod the ques tion that l.S acre feet per aero is tnsutnclent to properly Irrigate tha laud, calling attention to the fact that they are entitled under tho law to "sufllcleut to raise ordinary agri cultural crops." Tho quastion nu- i uiraiiy arises wnai constitutes a ao- termination of this quantity and has It been determined? Tho Statu fixed this amount In its contract with tha Company and has requlrod tho com pany to construct Its works accord ingly. The Federal Government nan said that It Is willing to patent tho land on this basis. This would seem to constitute a determination in-so-far us tho obligation of thn company to deliver wator Is concorned. In other words, tho company could hardly bo required to deliver addit ional water ta tha lands under Itn contract. Tho Attorney-General has advised tho board that a delivery of l.S aero feet Is all that can bo re quired of the company without addit ional compensation. Tho record would seom to ludlcato that tho ob ligations of tho company aro satis fled wheuover tho cuual bus aulllclent capacity to deliver 1.8 ucro foot to tho hind. However, beforo taking up tho question of cauul capacities. wo should consider thu matter apart from its strictly logal phuso. "If tho limitation of 1.8 aero foot per ucro will result In n failure or partial failure on this project, snd Profossor Powors of Corvullis advises that not less than 2 aero feet should bo nvallablo, tho board should t'uka such reasonable precaution to lus'uro a dollvery of additional wator using Its best oudeavors to protect tho rights of all concerned. "Water has boon sold to some 43, 000 ncres of land, und it would bo disastrous to tnko uny action that would doprlvo those lands which hnvo boon doveloped ut couaiderublo oxponso und hardship, of sufficient water for their rensonublo uso. If It Is truo thut thoso lands cannot ba properly Irrigatod with tfcnVr water available the Hoard should 'ffit hesi tate not only to disapprove tjTja con- (Co'ntlnuod on t'agu ,4 m
