To Ihe Wnler Users of Hie Slate of
Oregon :
The water users of the slate of
Oiegon, especially tho-o using water
for irrigation, itto confronting a ser
ious condition. The water supplj of
most of the streams of eastern unit
southern Oregon is lower Hus season
than ut nny time in the past 'JO or
.10 years. Many peoplo nro depend
ing either directly or indiicctly upon
the flow of stiuams lor a livelihood.
Those having, u prior rigid to the use
of water limy legally demand their
full supply as long as it Is available.
This will deprive subsequent users of
their iicoiistomcd supply.
In view or Hie unusual conditions
which prevail, it i suggested that
irrigators he us economical as pos
sible in Hie use of wnler in older
thtat some water inav be loft to mu
tuie the crops of subsequent nppio
priators biTovv.
From letters lcccived ut the stute
engineer's ollice it appear Hint
inniiy water users have the mistaken
jdea that to economize in the Use of
wnler so Hint ome will How down
to their neighbor will detriuientully
affect their water light. If the prior
I impropriator demands his pound of
flesh this season, it will cause thte
ruin of other ciops.
Tho stnte engineer de.-ires to call
attention to thee unusual conditions
