DOWN In the Tule lake country,
below the dike designed to hold
back the watera of the aump from
the fertile landa beyond, la a trag
edy. Eighteen .hundred acrea of grain,
a week ago lush and green, waving
in the breete. giving promise of
abundant yields this fall, providing
feed for the cattle and hoga and
aheep arid chlckene and turkeys that

wild waste of water.
rE dikes broke 'and the confined
watera rushed through the break,
t Inundating, the growing 'crops In an
area, approximately three square
miles.
A few days, or a few weeks, hence,
after the watera have been removed,
there will be nothing there but a
sour, slcklsh mass of vegetation,
which will burn up In the hot aun.
IP you don't thlnk'that Is a tragedy,
try plowing and harrowing and
aeedlng 1S0O acrea to grain In a year
when money is scarce and h-vl to

you the Investment you have put
into II. although no more In a bad
year like this; and then get up eome
morning and see all your labor and
all your money and all your hopea
burled under the watera that have
broken through the dikes and rushed
over your land.
WHO la responsible for this trag
edy? Practically without exception, the
people of toe Tule lake baaln gtve
thia anewer: "The reclamation serv
ice." rjiHE people down' there put It this
way: .
"All spring It was known that the
run-off would be exceptionally heavy
this ' year, because of deep winter
anowa and unusual spring ralna. Yet,
knowing this, the reclamation serv
ice. Instead of passing the Hood
watera of Lost river through the di
version canal built for Just that pur
pose and permitting them to waste
harmlessly down the Klamath river,
kept pouring these watera Into the
aump. '
"As a result, the water rose high
on the dikes, putting a severe pres
sure on them from within. Event
ually, it rose so high that the waves,
driven by a strong wind, began to
batter at the top of the dikes, which
are built for the most part of aoft
lit, and eo they broke at the weak
est apot and the watera poured
through.
"if th aumD had not been filled
So full of water, the dike, in all
probability, would have held."
rit la assumed that through mis
calculation of data the reclama
tion service permitted too big a .head
of water to accumulate Inside the
ump, thus causing the dike to
break under the burden, what la the
answer?
The only logical answer la this:
The reclamation service, by divert
ing too much water into the aump,
CONTRIBUTED to the breaking of
the dike. If that la true, the rec
lamation service should bear at least
a fair ahare of the damage caused
"by the break and the subsequent
flood.
At the very least, It should rush
In with money and equipment and
do everything In Ita power to
strengthen the remaining dikes, so
that the flood may not be extended
to cover other thousands of acres
of growing crops.
That Is only common fairness.
HERE, eummed'up briefly, are the
facta:
The reclamstlon service, which la
a branch of the government, leasee
the lands below the Tule lake dike
to citizens. Thus It put itself In
the position of a landlord, receiving
benefits from the ownership of prop
erty. It Is alleged by those living In the
area that the reclamation service di
verts too much water Into the aump.
thus contributing to the breaking or
the dike and the subsequent flooding
of crops on the leased land.

Owen-Oregon's Former Em
ployes Will Operate Plant
On Profit Sharing Basis
Around 150 On Payroll
The Owen-Oregon Lumber Sales
company, according to an announce
ment made by Jamea H. Owen, gen
eral manager, will start operation of
ita sawmill Monday, June 37, under
the same profit-sharing, co-operative
plan, now In force In the logging
camp of the company In the Butte
Falls district. Final details of the
mill operation will be completed the
coming week.
Workmen are now engaged in put
ting the sawmill machinery and
equipment In shape for operation.
Manager Owen announced that only
former employees of the company
would be employed under the plan,
and stressed that It was useless for
others to seek, work by mill, phone,
or in person.
Around 150 To Work
Between 125 and 175 former work
era will be given work and when
trade and the times warrant, this
number will be increased.
T.he sawmill has been idle or on
part time basis for several months
and Its resumption la due to the
desire of the lumber company to
provide a measure of work for Its
old and loyal employes, and a
chance for a "grubstake."
Manager Owen said that the first
train of logs from the Butte Falls
area was received Friday and that
the second train would be received
at- the mill pond Monday. He said
that the co-operative, profit-sharing
plan was working smoothly in the
woods and that it was within the
range of possibility tf.iat a second
crew would be sent out In a short
time.
Guarantee 60 Per Cent
Under the plan the mill company
guarantees the workers 60 per cent
of the maximum woods labor wage,
and the balance on a profit-sharing
basis later. The company furnishes
the equipment, In good shape, . and
the workers agree to return it the
same way. A contract was signed
between the employer and employees,
and a foreman- satisfactory to both
sides agreed upon.
Manager Owen hopes under the
plan, that some of the unemploy
ment in.uus city. and. count will
be relieved. He left Saturday for
Klamath Falls on business.
