Klamath Falls The Klamath Waterusers' Association la about to Inaugurate a campaign of advertis ing for the purpose of assisting land owners under the Irrigation project to dispose of their excess lands. It Is estimated that the excess acreage will reach about 40,000 acres, which, according to the contract with the Government, must be sold within a few years. The association Is to give publicity to these lands through out the agricultural districts of the East and Midlife West, thereby ren dering the owners valuable assist ance In the disposal of the excess holdings. The Waterusers' Association has also practically completed all ar rangementB by means of which the landowners under the system can take small contracts for the con struction of laterals and portions of the canal, taking in payment script, which Is the equivalent of cash in the paymeut of dues for water rights It is thought that through this plan most of the laterals of the system will be built by the landowner, who all have a few months of each when they are not rushed with work on the farm. Many of the ranchers will construct tho laterals that art needed on their own lands, and others are figuring on going into the business on an extensive scale. It la thought that by this method the work can bt done as cheaply as by contract, or by force account, the farmers getting the benefit. l ined for Working Long Hours.
