Tho Inking i testimony in the con
test as to tho w.ters of Littlo Rutto
crook before II. L. llolgute. statu su-
periiitoiHlont of water, wns suddenly
abandoned, and tho parties interested,
including sonic fifty water users, dii
cussed the situution informally. As
a result, nil the apparent diffieulties
were vory satisfactorily adjusted, ami
nil the parties agreed to a stipulated
statement of tho facts.
Many vory -vnluublo wntcr rights
nro affected by the adjudication be
foro tho statu board of the righto to
the use of water in Littlo Kuttcc
creek, inolnding the water rights for
tho City of Medford, and for the
Fish Lake Water company, which
proposes to irrigate some (15,000
acres of land iu this vicinity.
Wntcr Duty at Ik sue.
Chiefly tho question nt issue was
one as to water duty; that is, how
much water was required for tho
proper irrigation of the various crops.
It seems from tho discussion that the
difference was one as to tho terms
rathor than as to substance. The
Fish Lake Water coinpnny contended
that half an inch per acre won suffi
cient, !iile the water users held that
a much larger amount was required.
It was disclosed that both parties
meant practically tho snmo thing, the
Fish Lake Water compnny referring
to a constant flow of witter, while tho
fanners had reference to a periodic
application. In both cases the
amount 01 water applied to one
aero during the irrigation season
amounted substantially to 7fi miner's
inchos, or something moro than .'1,000
cubic inches.
Through n practical exnmplo of
fered by W. C. Dnloy, a prominent
furmor of Lake Creek, it was shown
that half a minor's inch per acre,
continuous flow, equaled tho extreme
amount claimed by any irrigator on
tho stream for tho proper irrigation
of tho land. On somo very porous
soils a much larger amount was re
quired to enrry this volume of water
over tho land.
It was stipulated between the par
ties to tho contest, comprising prac
tically all the water users of tho
stream, that half an inch per aero
continuous flow was sufficient for
tho major portion of tho lands, the
smaller area of bottom laud requiring
for tho purpose stated, a larger irri
gation stream.
Arthur P. Stover, for many years
an irrigation expert in tho United
States department of Agriculture, and
a recent nddition to tho farmor popu
lation of Jackson county, rendered
very mntorial assistance in bringing
about tho adjustment of supposed
differences.
Muny Users Itepresenteil.
Gus No wherry, representing somo
twenty wntor users; A. K. Kennies,
representing a like number; O, O.
Hoggs, attorney for tho Littlo Unite
Irrigation coinpnny, and Mr. Smith ol
Portland, nttornoy for the Fish Lalco
Wnter compnny, avoided legal quib
bles by bringing out tho issues on n
broad plane, and mado possible the
uniting of all tho interests in a hnppy
and pormnnent ngroement.
James T. Chinnock, secretary of
tho stnto board of control, reported
tho proceedings,
Tho unexpected sottlomont of tho
question of water duty resulted in n
rapid adjustment of otlior contests,
