developed from tho following seurces:
It is estimated tbnt Huck lake nnd
llyntl prairie reservoir will furnish
n"i,000 ncre feet. Total estimated
cost of project is approximately $100
per acre.
It is probable tbnt Denver creek
reservoir would furnish enough for
w cntiro division. The total csti
iniitcd cost of project is approximate
ly $72.50 per ncre.
Jlrutt rmlrlo llvjett
"A supply obtained from Hyatt
"Prairie reservoir, together with nn
intcrecplinjj cnnnl from Toll Komi
gap west nlonj? south slope of Ash
land butle mny prove sufficient. To
'tal estimated cost of project is $07
per actv.
Hyatt Prairie rr-servuir nnd Ileaverl
.creek reservoir would urobnbly fur
nish the most ilcM'iiilnblc- sii))ly,
uud it seems reasonable to expect that
the supply would be sufficient for tho
cntiro division. Total estimated cost
of project is uppro.iinntely .f7H.lt)
j or ncre.
Pish lake is the source of the north
fork of Little Iutti creek nnd lies
nenr the summit of the Cascade range
liust south of Jit. McLotighlin. By
constructing u 50-foot duiu, n stor
age enpneity of 20,000-ncro feet can
W obtained. Tho water supply avail
able for storage here is uncertain, but
will probably ciunl the storage, ca
pacity.
Pour-Mile lake lies twelve miles
northeast of Pish lake mid nt mi
elevation 1000 feel higher. Piflcen
thousand five hundred ncre feet stor
age impunity can bo obtained by con
structing; u 20-foot dam. The record
tf run-off from this lake is very
ishort, but it is probable Hint the year
ly supply of 10,000 nere feet is nil
that can bo depended upon.
South 1'ork of llutto
The minimum flow of the .South
pork of Big- llutto creek in 1015 wns
8fi second feet. In yearn of average
Vainfall the supply would probably bo
bUinuicui lor lO.iinii acres, inc es
timated cost of constructing' u canal
of 130 second feet capacity from Bis
llutto creek n cross Little Butte to
the Hopkins lateral is .137,000.
HeeoniiMissnuco surveys show that
it is feasible to divert South Pork
of Hogue river into Big Butlo creek.
It is otitimutod that the average min
imum flow may bo lit) secoud feel,
and that Ibis onu be delivered into
Sorth Pork of Big- Butte creek at a
Cost of approximately $01,000.
There is sufficient Hood water in
Bear oreek to stipnly practically (ill
the icipiircmciith for both divisions
in April nnd May, uud enough in niiy
event to insure ngninit crop failure.
Hyatt Prairio reservoir is feasible.
CViicluilons of Itcpint
It. ni))cnrs from tho investigations
'and estimates for this repert:
' 1. That tho water supply which
'can be developed under tho water
rights of tho Hogiio Kiver nlley
Cnnnl company will bo sufficient foi
35,000 acres.
2. Tlint the system under con
struction for the Medfoul division by
tho Iloguo IHvcr Valley Cnnnl com-
Vny is tho most c,onomicnl for tho
ncreage which It can supply.
.'I. Tlint it is feasible to divert Big
Butte creek nnd irrigate land in tho
Mcdford division nt a nut unreason
able cost.
1. Tlint there i sufficient flood
water in Bear creek to supply prac
tically all irrigation requirement in
April and .May, and enough to insure
ngniust n total failure of crops,
fi. That a water supply con prob
ably bo developed either us the Sis
'kiyou or Klamath mountains which
will be sufficient for tho full irriga
tion of the Ashland division.
CVst of liTJects
0. Tlint tho construction cost ot
the Mcdford division will bo approx
imately $10 (i ud of tho Ashland di
vision not to exceed $75 per ncre.
But these estimated costs do not in
clude depreciation, taxes or interest
charges, and to obtain the nctual cost
to the water user it should be in
creased by an amount sufficient to
cover such costs, whatever they mny
be.
7. That for tho Ashland division
the first development should be the
utilization of tho flood. waters of Bear
creek by immediate construction of
lateral therefrom.
8. That Hyatt Prairie reservoir
will be n source of water supply un
der whut appear to be the most fens
iblo schemes for tho irrigation of the
Ashland division, nnd its construc
tion should follow the construction of
the laterals from Bear creek.
II. That after Hyntt Prairie reser
voir the next construction should be
either Beaver creek reservoir and
canal or Toll Road Gap canal, as will
then be more apparent from strenm
gnugings to be iiiudc mid tho surveys
contemplated.
10. That until more definite dntn
regarding the run-off of the streams
nre available, it is impossible to de
termine with nny certainty vuit is tho
best source of water supply for the
Aslilnud division.

NO OTHER CHEW EQUALS IT
Nature varies the flavor she puts into
the different grades of tobacco leaf
and the best of all is the flavor of
choice red Hurley that pleases you so
mightily when you chew Spear Head.
The delicious fruity flavor of a chew
of Spear Head is a revelation to the
man who has never chewed or who has
been chewing near-good tobacco,
Por chewing is the one way to get
all the wholesome, healthful, appetizing
flavor of the tobacco leaf providing
you chew a high-grade plug like Spear
Head.
No other tobacco can compare with
Spear Head in the vvhoksome satisfac
tion it gives.
You get more savory sweetness in a
chew of Spear Head than in a whole
plug of ordinary tobacco.
And you get it in its purest form
for Spear Head is made amid the most
wholesome surroundings, in a great,
new factory that's kept absolutely
clean and sanitary.
Try this rich, mellow, satisfying, pure
:hevv. Such a chew cunnot be obtained
in any other tobacco tlun Spear Head.
