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.

States and his chances to cop a lot ot i
money are shot. !
It is expected that every stato
whore boxing is allowed will follow
the lead of New York in barring
llarcy. 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.
