Itale Official Claims Power Which Can Be Produced Is Subject to Ir- ri.nflnn Fire nnri Thnf HpII RMi Dam IS Merely to Develop Power I for Higher Elevation. GRANTS PASS, Or., Juno 7, 1910 To the Editer: I notice In your Is- -sue of the 5th Inst, an article In which you say in substance that the attor -ey general is aiding parties to se cure water rights on Rosno river det- Tlxncntal to Irrigation, and calling "sptm people to protest to the state engineer, and that tho state engineer las given out figures detrimental to irrigation projects other than the one the attorney general has been aiding titli his advice. The article also in timates that the parties whoare try 'JSag to promoto a plan to irrigate Jtoguo Rlvor valley in the vicinity of Grants Pass and Merlin wish to die Sate the torn of irrigation to the jeoplo of Josephine county. The arti cle appears as an editorial, hence I --conclude you aro responsible for the same, and, as your article Is evident ly based upon false promises, I hope you will bo fair enough to eivo this '-communication au prominent a place in your paper as you did said article. First I wish to say that tho state enginoo-, Mr. Lewis, has given out bo statement or figures against or in favor of any project whatever, but bas answered letters as to the amount of precipitation, drainaso area of wa ter basins, and oilier like inform, lion relative to different portions of Joscpliino county, therefore, please do jjot say nnythlcs detrimental to him, as he is entirely innocont of favor ing any plan of Irrigation, or of dis couraging any. Second Tho attorney general lias Leon assisting Mr. P, A. Williams of Oscaloosa, la., and his associates in formulating a plan to irrlgato tho seinl-arld land in tho vicinity of Grants Pass and Merlin. "Third ThiB proposition Is for ir rigating primarily and said parties uavo contracted for about 8500 acre3 of land which ihoy wish to lraprovo and supply with wntor, nnd to con struct a system which will supply all tlia lands in what Is known as North Rogue River valley. Fourth This proposition haB been submitted to tho peoplo of that vicin ity and la approved by them. Fifth A portion of tho lands aro so high thoy cannot bo Irrigated by gravity flow, he.ico a dam Is propos edat Hellgate gorge, or como other point, to furnish power to pump wa fcw for bucIi lands.

They are absolutely the best on the mar ket as far as we can learn. Buy the best and you'll save in the long run. No more expensive than the cheaper land. Of INtt HUH ran be a surplus of power, it would, of course, be for sale. Sixth The point of diversion for gravity flow is a long way dowa the river below any water rights, for either irrigation or power, for south Rogue River valley in which is lo cated your beautiful city. Seventh The only power which can be produce.' is subject to irriga tion first rnd otLer purposes after the lands have b-en supplied, and all locations of wr.ter for power must be mado subject to the needs of the pub- ,Ic for domestic use and irrigation jFurtber, to Irrigate all of i orth Rogue River valley vlll not take to exceed 300 second feet, which will leave at the lowest stage of water which has been observed In five years over 900 second feet for other uses, and all of this water for irrigation purposes must bo taken out below the Gold Ray" dam, else their power plant would be impaired hence tho plan to Improve the coudltions at Grants Pass and Merlin, certainly cannot harm the Interests of the people of the south part of the valley. I feel assured that you do not TrinL to injure any person or persons, nor any enterprise which tends to the material benefit of the people of southern Oregon. Tho stat utes of this Btate provide that the pri mary use of water Is domestic, sec ondary irrigation, and mrMy manu facturing; hence an irrlga ion project Is favored by tho statutes, and wo beliove that you do not wish to des troy any aujli an entorprleo.

Tho city council at its regular mooting Tucsdny evening considered tho matter of paving East Main be yond Roosuvclt. which has been held I . up on account oi mo condition oi tue wood pipe main. As a result, a new inspection will bo mado and the wishes of the property owners car ried out, though this will bo one of the last streets paved, as tho pipe must bo aaccptcd from tho contract ors first nnd n new assessment of pioporty mnde. Mayor Canon stated that tho rea son the pavement had not been laid was becauso of the condition of the wooden main, and that tho city did not have the funds to rcplnco it with castiron pipe. J. D. Heard said that tlio pavement could be laid over two-thirds of the width of tho street and finished af tor iron pipo hod been laid. Even if laid tho total width, it would not bo any moro trouble to dig a trench to tho pipo and replace it thnn it is for the tclephono comnnnioH to die trenches for their cablo lines. City Engineer Foster was of the opinion that tho pipo could bo paved over suceesstully. Most of tho leaks had been stopped. W. M. Holmes. T. E. Daniels anil othors owning property on hn ntrnnt expressed their willingness to tnko chances on tho paving and benr tho brunt. Councihnen Eifert and Welch wore of tho opinion that if tho proporty ownors wanted tho pavement, "give it to them." Tho council will investigate tho conditions nnd decido upon it at once. It was suggested by tho city engineer and others that u tilo drain laid below tho pipe to carry off the loakago would prevent nnw dnmago to tho pavement and would settle tho question for tho time being at least. You aro pretty snfo in assuming that if a storo has anything to soil which will "stand bolng ndvortlsod" It will bo ndvortlsod. --'-- A BARGAIN 4 4- f- 3-ROOM HOUSE, CHICK EN HOUSE AND YARD, WOODSHED, ETC.; LOT.50 XlOO, 6 FRUIT TREES, 6 BLOCKS FROM DEPOT, STREET TO BE PAVED; IF TAKEN AT ONCE, $750 CASH.
