PAGE FIVE. MEDFORD MAID TRIBUNE, JfEDFORD, OREGON", MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1917. 7 L Through tho signing of n contract by the Calil'ornin Oregon l'uwer C'. anil the Kecreturv of tho Interior, the power company, hist week acquired control of the upper waters of the Klamath Lakes, took over the Keno I'anal lor a period of fifty years and secured a priviledgc of construct ing n dam at the head id' Links river to impound tho flood waters and con trol the water level in the upper Kla math lake. Rental for the canal has been fixed nt .$10(10 per year. The contract pro provides that improvements must be made by the power company to the canal which will raise its capacity to 115 second feet. However if in the opinion of government engineers the people of the region affected are ben efitted by the improvements, half Tnc expense will ue Horn by llie gov ernment. Tho coinpanv is also held respon sible for any damage resulting from laisiag the lake level. Improvements Tcvert to the government afler the fifty-year period. Another section of the contract provides that the company mast fur nish power for pumping to the Kla math Project at seven mills per killo wut hour at any place where 100 horse power is needed. Members of the Klamath Water Users' board are disgruntled over the action of the Secretary of the Inter ior considering that they have been double crossed in not being consult ed before the signing of the contract. Impounding of the waters of the upper lake and releasing them through the canal at a uniform rate through out the year will assure the company of sufficient head of water at all times for the oMM-ation of their power plant nt Copco on the Klamath river. Also, it is thought, leasing the canal lias forstallcd possible competition from the talked of Keno plant.

Gov. Whitman issued an or der prohibiting Darcy from meeting lack Dillon at Madison Square Gar den, ruling that Darcy is a "slacker" on the grounds that he left Australia under an assumed name to avoid ser vice in the army of the allies. Even If official state orders bar ring Darcy are not issued, few pro moters will be willing to guarantee Darcy big sums. With a spirit of patriotism surging over the United States on account of the chances of war with Germany, the Amorlcan public has little sympathy for a man who is regarded as a slacker and will not pay their money to see him. lfnrcy In n new pose, is playing n violin.
