What
About Irrigation?
Some Important Questions Answered Relative to the Project
: s Pending Before the People
IT SEEMS THAT ALTHOUGH THE CONTRACT OP THE ROGUE RIVER VALLEY CANAL CO. HAS BEEN PUBLISHED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE PAIERS OF
MEDFORD AND CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO A NUMBER OF THE LAND OWNERS BY OUR SOLICITORS AND A GREAT AMOUNT OF TIME HAS BEEN SPENT IN
EXPLAINING IT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN IT, YET WE FIND.THAT COMPARATIVELY FEW SEEM TO UNDERSTAND IT THOROUGHLY. FOR THEIR SPE
CIAL BENEFIT WE ARE'AGAIN PUBLISHING THE CONTRACT AND A LIST OF THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE MEETING HELD ON FEB
RUARY42fc LA3T OR THE PURPOSE fcJMGXPLAINiNG THE CONTRACT FULLY. W(E ASK EVERYONE INTERESTED IN THE WELFARE OF THIS VALLEY TO GIVE
THIS CAREFUL CONSIDERATION FOR IT IS OF MORE IMPORTANCE TO THE PEOPLE-OF THIS COUNTRY THAN ANY OTHER THING AT THIS TIME. READ IT CARE
FULLY. '
Mr. off then rend tho contract which Is to ho hold In escrow, n copy of
which will be found below Tho following question were asked:
Q. Wlicro Is that water to be taken.
A. At the Intake on each subdivision.
Q. What length of time Is the Irrigation perlodT
A. We will come to that later In a subsequent paragraph..
Q. SmipoM'a tnan takes witeFofl lO'acrcS or 20 acres, has ho the right to
use the water up to 18 Inches.
Wo delher the water to him. to Irrlgato tho whole piece to the depth
of IS Inches.
Silpfxwo a man hnd 20 acres to acres In pear or wheat, and 10 acres
In alfalfa, and wanted nidro than 18 Inches on his alfulfnj and less than IS Inches
on the jtears could he use It this way?
A. Ho could use, the water In such proportions on tho wholo tract as ho
sees It.
Q. Now suppose It was not required on that piece of land that I contracted
for. coUld 1 run past the lino and Use on another piece??
A. No. Tho water must bo used on the land signed up It can be used In
such proportions as you see fit. It H necessary to do this because tho cost of
this system Is one million and a half dollars. that is tho best estlmntn that wo
have been able to get. and tho only thins that We are fearful of Is that tho es
timate l too low. Tho water become appurtenant to tho land Under tho law of
Oregon; when a man owns a water right, he owns It nppilrtcnant to n particu
lar" plctc of land.
Q. What Is the poller of the company lit case of a bad crop would it bo n
policy of leniency
A. Absolutely. As far as this company Is concerned. It Is not here to get
your land dees not want it. and thero Is no question In the world hut that tha
company would bo in a position to and would be lenient In regard to Install
ments falling duet as to the maintenance charge, that IS something thnt the
company has to pay out each year, and would hare to be paid. In case of n gen
eral crop failure or conditions that made It n hardship, It would undoubtedly
be tha polity of tho company to deal leniently.
Q. What will bo tho ilato of the payment of tho maintenance charge?
A. Tho 15th day of October of each year. Wo advauco tho cost of main
taining this system during tho ear and ou get jour crops off tho land and
havo an opportunity to sell them, then you pay J2.f.O for that jear.
Q. How would it bo for tho water users to form nh association called the
Water Users' Association, and at this time ou speak of, when the mainte
nance -Is due, appoint a committee to meet with the officers of tho company at
that office, and get tho expenso of the actual maintenance, and Instead of a flat
rata of $2.50 per year each jcar. make tho amount Just whatever It might be: if
It should bo K an acre pay that: should It run to till renin an tier, mnko It
that, and I should like to sec this question put on the actual cost of utnlntouanco.
1 think thnt is ouo or tho principal objections In the way. I feel that It will ho
necessary to mnko ngmduntcd scale.
A. In this connection, the prlco of $a,".fl hns been arrived At after circfully
estimating tho probable cost of maintaining this sjstom. mid no far as tho com
pany Is concerned. It Is their opinion that thuy could not safely ugroo to do It
for any less money. For tho first few jean thnt this sjstoin I In operation It
must bo apparent to everyone thnt ns new water users outer Into tho contract to
take water, thatJicvv laterals will have to bo eonsrueted. from tho main canals
to tho land. If ou should sign up next your or jenr after next, jour laud might
lay one-half or three-fourths of n mlto front the canal, it would bo uect'ssary
to construct the lateral to your laud. It would bo almost Impoislblc to sep
arate the cost of all of this extension work thnt must be goim through with:
thero will bo also undoubtedly a great man) defects that will duelop In thu
canal and different parts of the work during tho tlrijt few jours conditions
of soil perhaps hero Is a place where the soil Is unusunllv poroiiK and It will
bo necessary to cement the sides of the canal. It Is ullttotit tiuposslhlo during
tho first few years, until wo have the hulk of this laud signed up and on
your land, to make nu Intelligent statement as to what should bo charged to
construction, and what to maintenance. The company has no desire and no
disposition to mako a dollar out of this maintenance proposition I am author
Ixed to say thnt If ou want to tnko this thing over whelt 45,000 acres have
been signed, you can have tho system, so fnr as operation and malutenatice Is
concerned, and jou can form J our own organization and jou ran charge
yourselves actual cost. You can take It over and operate It yourolVes at nctual
cost, whenever -I ft, 000 acres of this land have boon slgucd up. Tho part that
could bo charged to maintenance wilt bo ory low only after the system has
been tu apcrntlon a few jenrs when all of the weak spots will have been found.
Now wo will have to charge part to construction and part to maintenance, and
figure that $2 SO per aero Is small enough. In this sstcm there uro heavy
dams at Four Mile !ake and Fish I.nkc; a canal from Tour Mite I.ako to Flsn
Lake cutting from the other watershed and bringing the water across from
Klamath to Jackson County, and this will ho a very expensive proposition.
Just as soon as this thing Is put on a permanent hauls and wu have sold 13.000
acres, you can have It, ami wewlll roll our laud as we can As wo sell a pleco
of land tho land owner comes Into jour torporatlon
Q. In caso tho water would be brought on to our tract, for Instance,
would It bo necessary, or would the company bo willing to carry that water
along property linns and not across dlagonnlly, ncrtxs thu tracts of laud?
A. That Is a matter you cuu tnko up with tho compuuj'. and they will
certainly bo willing to construct lis sjstem with tho least possible Ineonvcnteuco
t
