It Is tho purposo ot tho projectors and proposed water users ot this district to be organized to depend upon tho United States reclamation service for Its water supply, and the only place that such supply can be had, as far as I am Informed, la by pumping from the United Stato reclamation service main canal. "The county court ot Klamath county has no Interest other than an official one, but at the request ot the petitioner In this Instance, this let ter Is addressed to you for the pur poso of finding out, it possible, wheth er the United States reclamation ser vice Vould enter Into contract with tho petitioners when organized legal ly into an Irrigation association under the state law of Oregon. "I would bo obliged, and It would be ot the greatest service to the peti tioners at this time if you would ad vUo me whether such contract can bf loude with tho reclamation -vlce.

"Your early response to these in quiries would be ot tho greatest as sistance, and would save tho peti tioners much time and considerable outlay and expense. Unices It is pos sible for them to get water at a reas onable price and under a specified contract for a certain period, It would be Impracticable for them to proceed and Incur the heavy expense for sur veys and other preliminary charges, aa well aa getting bond for the ex pense to be Incurred.
