BIG BUTTE PROJECT
State Engineer to Make Recommen
dation By August 20 Directors of
. District Make Report Upon Land
Eliminations and Stream Measure
ments fur; Summer. . ('-....
The directors of the Modford Irri
gation District have as yet received
no offer from lie Itogue Ulver Canal
company as to selling its' water sup
ply, tho Salem dispatches state that
State Engineer John H. Lewis has
received a proposij in writing to dis
pose of Pisl) Juke and Tour .Mile lake
reservoirs with all canals and water
rights for $250,000, with only 10
second feet to be reserved for use on
tho company's own lands.
The directors have issued the fol
lowing report upon the board's ac
tions during the past few months:
To the landowners of the IJodford
Irrigation District: A very great deal
of important business has been trans
acted since the last report was sent
to the land owners of the Medford
Irrigation. District by the directors.
This report will touch upon these
points and will lay before the land
owners the exact situation as it exists
today. The directors wish again to
call attention to the fact that all the
books and records of the district are
in the offlco of the district, 415 M.
P. & H. building, and are open to
public Inspection.
The principal happenings of the
past months, are: . .
1. Tljo elimination hearings
which were held during April. ,
2. The ruling of the board on the
lands which were asked to be exempt
ed. 3. Tho abandonment of investi
gation on the Beaver Creek project.
4. Further study of the Big Butte
' project.
5. Further study of the Itogue
River Canal company project.
C. The decision of the board to
recommend the Big Butte Creek pro
ject. '
7. Several conferences with the
state engineer.
8. The decision of the state engi
neer. Considering Humiliations
A ''complete discussion of these
eight points now follows:
1. Hearing on all petitions for
elimination of land filed beforo Mar.
1st, 191 S, were held on April 2nd
and following days. Some three land
owners, most of whom were repre
sented by their lawyers, appeared be
fore the board. The directors per
sonally visited the lands in question
but in order to safeguard -both the
Interests of the petitioners and the
district they secured the services of
three experts. These experts were:
Prof. W. L. Powers of the department
of irrigation, drainage and agronomy
at the Oregon Agricultural college,
former County Judge George Dunn.
and Mr. J. 11. Pettlngill. None or
these men had any interests to serve
other than to give a true and Impar
tial opinion on the need of irrigation
upon acreage petitioning for elimina
tion. Board of Kxperts .
Prof. Powers testified that ho had
carried out many tens of thousands
of experiments and determinations
on irrigation problems: that he had
viewed tho lands In the valley nt
least once a year for several seasons;
and that irrigation will substantially
benefit this valley, and the lands in
question.
' Judge Dunn was asked to serve
upon the suggestion of J. M. Ledum!
of the petitioners who stated to Dir
ector Coleman that they would be ah
solutely content to abide by what
Judge Dunn recommended. Judge
Dunn has been for many years n far
mer iu this valley and he has had an
unusual opportunity to study condi
tions upon his own ranch about half
of which has a water right. The
opinions of Judge Dunn and Prof.
Powers were Identical.
Mr. J. B. Pettlngill is the land ex
pert for the Oregon-Utah Sugar com
pany and he has had an unusually
wide experience in Irrigation pmctlcc
both In Rogue niver valley and In
1'tah. Perhaps no man In the lust
three years has been forced to con'
elder Irrigated and non-irrigated
crops In this valley from so ninny
angles as Mr. Pettlngill and certainly
no one with whom the directors could
get In touch has had so long a train
Ing on actual Irrigation methods a
Mr. Pettlngill. The opinion of Ibis
expert was similar to that held h)
the other two.
Testimony was introduced on be
half of the petitioners largely by
neighbors and it was contended thai
satisfactory crops had' been grown
upon these lands fur a great numbii
of years. ',
FAVORED
BY
The proceedings lasted for IS days
and over luoo typewritten pages of
testimony were taken.
lmds Kllminated
2. The decision of tho board was
mndo utter mature deliberation and
the fullowlng basis was delerniineu
upon:
1. Lands shall be eliminated
which;
a. are excessively rough or poor;
b. can not be Irrigated by gravity.
(Unless petitioned to remain in);
c. are In wood lots;
d. already have water;
e. , more valuable for other pur
poses than agriculture;
f. lie In Hear, Jackson or Griffin
creek -beds.
2. Elimination shall not be
granted:
a. for good agricultural land;
b. land with sub-irrigation which
is not available;
c. creek channels other than
Bear, Jackson and Griffin.
d. house lots, barn lots and feod
ing lots;
e. roads.
(Almost every ownership includes
d, and e, listed above and long
practice in Oregon, Washington and
California is followed in this decis
ion.) Eliminations were granted to the
petitioners only upon tho grounds
outlined above and in accordance
with the Oregon Irrigation law.
. lUii ver Creek Project.
3. As stated in the last report to
itho land owners the directors decided
oarly in the wiuter that the, Beaver
iCroek project. appeared, to lie the best
available source at that., time and, it
was ordered that, further, water, read
ings be made and that until It was
definitely decided whether sufficient
water was available or not no further
money be spent on collecting engi
neering data. It was evident as early
as March 1st that the water available
for tho Beaver Creek project would
fall far below requirements for tills
yoar but at that time the attention of
the board was called to very remark
able and unexplainable water mea
surements which were being made by
order of the board upon Big Butte
creek. - -
Riff Itiitfo Measurements
4. Water measurements taken by
the U. S. geological survey for the
past several years upon Big Butte
creek were made just above Butte
Falls at what Is known as the Cov
ered Bridge station. The reports of
the district onginer based upon thsae
readings wero that thern was not a
sufficiency of water for the purposes
of tho district and it was proposed to
take 100 c. f. s. from south fork of
Rogue river to supplement tills sup
ply. On October 3, 1917 the first
reading was made on Big Butte creek
it tho proposed point of diversion by
J. B. Piatt and II. G. Stocckman. This
was done upon the direct ordefc of
your board becauso It was thought
that this source, of supply was o
good that it should not be passed up
if any means were found to make it
available. During the mlnter this
stream was kept under observation
and an increase in the volume of
water was noted.. In Juno an auto
matlc guaglng station was installed.
At this time there were 217 c. f. s. In
me stream, .nine 9, 17(1 r. f. s. wat;
measured. On June 1,1 Mr. C. L.
Batchelder, assistant district engi
neer United States geological survey
cable to Medford at the request of t In
board and within the hour made two
readings on Big Butte, tho first ui
tho Covered Bridge where he mea
sured 102 c. f. s., and the Becond at
point of diversion whore he found
170 c. f. s. This led him to the con
elusion that a large ami constant
underflow of water came into tin
channel of the stream thru the lava
formation between these two points.
The following measurements have
since been made:
June 30, 104 c. f. s.; July 7, IBS
c f. s.; July 14. 104 e. f. 8.; July 2
102 c. f. s.
Close preliminary estimates of the
Big Butte project have been mode
and Indicate that the water can Ix
brought to the high point on every
Molding of land for $7-1.00 per acre
or less. This price to include depre
clntlon on bonds and Interest during
the period of construction. It bar
been tho feeling of your board anil
of the engineers that n sufficient!)
high estimate should be made In or
der that the project shall he complet
ed well within the estimate. Dondi
will only he sold for the actual cash
cost of tlte project.
The water rights upon Big Butt
ire In unusually good shape. Then
is but one big filing and that Is belnf
held in trust by the slate engineer
There are no conflicting rights or.
Rogue river. The .Sllsby filings an
for water to be taken from the rive
two miles above the mouth of Bit,
Butte. The California Oregon Power j
company have certain right for pow-.
er purposes but our rights - would
seem not to he in conflict. Below
Gold Kay dam there is an abundance
of water for all present or prospec-
tlve users.
Rogue Itlver Cniuil Coiiiiinny Project
5. A complete and careful study
of the works and rights of the Rogue
Itlver Canal company, .leads to the
conclusion on the part of your board
that this project is not us advantage
ous as the Big Butte creek project.
This decision is arrived at" without
prejudice to the works or rights of
the Canal company. It seems to your
directors that there Is a sufficiency !
of land lying north of the Hopkins
lateral for ull the water which can
be delivered by the Cannl company
and inasmuch as Big Butte creek has
shown itself to have an ample amount
of water for this district it Is the
opinion of your board that the land
owners should be given an opportun
ity to voto upon the Big Hutte pro
ject. II. After most careful considera
tion and u thoro investigation cover
ing almost a year of actual field
work and the minute study of all
data obtainable your board of direc
tors have decided to recommend the
Big Butte Creek project and to that
end have submitted a report to the
state engineer requesting his imme
diate attention In order that an elec
tion may be held with as little delay
as possible.
7. The state engineer has been
freely consulted by your board and
plans have been worked out. by the
district engineers along the lines
suggested by Mr. Lewis.
State Engineer Decision
8. The state engineer has made
the following decision:
In order to thoroly satisfy himself
concerning the engineering features
of the Big Butte source of supply he
has required additional information.
Your board of directors has agreed
to engage Iho services of Air. Cun
ningham, chief engineer of the Sut-
tles Lake project, to go over the
whole project with a view of makinj
his recommendations to the state en
gineer. This work should take not
more than a couple of weeks to com
plete. Readings of the guages and
water measurements on Big Butte i
are to be continued nnd if the stream
continues to hold up for the next
thirty days as it has' during the
spring a safe and satisfactory source
of supply has been, found and one
which the state engineer will ap
prove. Mr. Lewis has promised to
make his recommendations -by Aug
ust 20th or before that time If pos
sible and it Is the purpose of your
board to call an election as soon
thereafter as is possible In order that
water may be delivered to the Med
ford Irrigation District during the
growing season of 1919.
CooKM-utiiin Asked
Your board can not too urgently
or too often point out to tho land
owners the vital necessity of coopera
tion In carrying thru this project.
The members of tho board have Indi
vidually given dny after day of their
time to district work. Most of the
problems have been met and solved.
This has taken tlmo and while to
many outsiders It appeared that dis
trict matters wero at a standstill to
those who took an Interest in the
project progress was constantly to
be seen. If tiic landowners of the
district want water next yenr It Is
time for them to come forward with
determination. It is possible to ob
tain water on your land during the
1919 growing season If you will up
hold tho hands of your directors.
How can you do this?
Inform yourself about tho whole
project and spread the truth. Stamp
out any He with facts Just as you
would stamp out German propagan
da with facts.
Get together In your community
and discuss this letter and then nsk
your board to como down and speak
to you on Irrigation matters.
Do anything so as to get action.
But boar in mind one thing. Your
board of directors, the other officers
the engineers, have done almost all
that they can do. It la up to you
now to make public opinion so strung
that tills thing Is going thru with a
hurst of speed that will make Hie
rest of tho state say: Tho old Med
ford spirit the Kogue Itlver valley
way of doing things has come back,
now watch them go.
