The way is now opt n for the city of l'.end to avail itself of an act of the i:2" legislature whciehy It will tako 11 second feet of water from Tumalo creek for purposes of a municipal water supply, according to an opinion of Attorney (Jeneral Van Winkle, written lo the desert land hoard. The 'opinion Is In reply to an inquiry hy Mayor li. II. Ko of Head, hut since the attorney m-neral is inhibited from advising other than stale officials ho has sent the opinion to thu desert land hoard. As a result of the legislative net It is believed here in official circles that litigation of considerable, magnl tude is in prospect. The session of l!t2I passed nil act providing "that whenever the city of l'.end shall have acquired the right to appropriate or use from the lesi luues river at least 11 cubic feet pi-r second of water for delivery iuio the feed canal blunging to Des chutes crmniy municipal improve ment district, which feed canal is now supplied from tho Deschutes river hi a diversion located In or near -l'.end. then said city shall be and hereby hi authorlwd to take from tin- direct, flow of Tumalo creek not in exceed 11 cubic feet per second of water for the purpose of providing a supply of water for domestic and municipal purposes." This act was vetoed by Oovernor Pierce on the advice of State Kngi neer Luper, on grounds that It would rob the Tumalo district of water It needs, but was passed over his veto. The city of Itend las complied with the terms of the act through a contract .between the city ami tho Title and Trust company of Port land, for the sale m- assignment by the coyipany to the till of tho right to li second feet from the Deschutes river at Demi, and this according to tho , attorney general opens ihe way for ihe city further lo avail itself of 11 second feel from Tumalo creek. Mention of this contract is made in the letter of Mayor Kox to Attor ney Ceneral Van Winkle and this is the first official knowledge State Kngineer l.upcr has had ihut such a contract exists. The title and trust company apparently is acting as agent for the Xorth Canal company. At the present time the Tumalo district uses all of the water of Tu malo creek for the ft.ooo acres now under cultivation, and has an over supply only by reason of a supple menial diversion from the Deschutes river at Pend. The t-ultivat!on of 15 000 acres more, however, is pos sible and looked upon as the ulti mate development and this. It is said, will reuube all the, flow now available both from Tumalo creek and the Deschutes river ditch to tho 'Tumalo district. ' ' vice-Porl-11. 1. W. .1. The PORTLAND, Ore.. Oct. US. (A. V.)
