Unless the unexpected happens, the railways of the northwest will suffer more from high water late In Max and early in June than was recorded in the mem orable year of 1894. This is the sit uatlon as it appears to A. J. Davidson, general superintendent of the Spo kane and Seattle railway. Because of heavy rainfall and heavy snows- in the mountains, Davidson said he fear ed more from the high water than from the war for the railroads of the Paclflic northwest.

After, four years spent In construction, the linrlh last i as at fksi MiMik MS? ika PhIhih.' bia is completed. The jetty extends 12,300 feet toward the sea aad eost approximately 14,250,000. The south breakwater cost over 911,000,000. ' part of any one In Washington to In sist that reorganisation of the Klam ath project be perfected by the water users. "The organisation of the district would, however, have several advan tages over the Water Users' Associa tion. In the first place, the district would have the power Immediately to require all lands within the project to pay operation and construction charges, including lands for which stock subscription to the association has been made, but for which no water right application has been filed, and also lands for which no stock sub scription has been made but for which the Irrigation system has been con structed. "The nssoclstion Is obliged by con tract with the United States to make all lands subscribed to the association pay the water right charges, and suits In all such caaea will have to be; brought and several are now pending by the Klamath association In order to compel the subscribers to make as application. The district organisation will bring these lands In automatically without eost of lltlgatloa, which other wise will necessarily be Incurred by the water users. Other lands aot even subscribed would also be brought In to help bear the burden of the project. "As regards operation and mainten ance charges for reclamation exten sion act requires payment In full to be made each year for project opem lion costs and the water users aru already beating the burden out of their own pockets for lands for which application has not been made. There Is no reason In law or In fairness why lands which are being farmed and Im proved should bear tho burden of these other lands held by speculators who are not Improving and are profit ing or hope to profit by tho Imnmvn. ments made by their neighbors while they themselves bear none of the bur dens of operating the system. "An additional reason which I am sure will appeal to all Is that the Rural Credits Hoard has now held that whero tho lands are burdened with a mortgage lien, even though In favor of the United States, tho farm loan act Is not applicable, but that where the monies are collectible as taxes, qs in the case where an Irri gation district Is formed, the legal Im pediment Is removed and thnt mh. slderatlon only will bo given to the security and the amount of the charges which will have to be paid. "In other words, If an irrigation dis trict is fcmed, the bar which is cre ated by the Farm Loan Act Is removed aad it becomes merely a question of' policy as to whether these lands are good for the water charges and for a farm loan In sddltlon. In connection with the consideration of the security offered the fsct that no Interest Is chsrged by the United States will be a very Important consideration and the annual draft upon the water user's purse Is the only thing that need be considered In my Judgment. "I believe that It would be proper for the land-owners to give Immediate attention to the situation for the rea son that It will take considerable time to take the necessary steps to form the Irrigation district, which la In Its nature a public or municipal corpor ation, and after that a contract with the United States will have to bo voted upon by the water users before the water right application lands can be released by the secretary of the interior and the assent of the United States be given to the release of the stork subscription lands of the Water Users' Association. All these steps of course are preliminary to the farm loan relief and organisation under the Farm Ioan Act and the formaline ol the irrigation district should not be delayed longer than Is necessary If we people desire reorganliatien. "Please make It entirely elear that the question of reorganisation In one which is up to the people la every sense of the word and Is aot a step which the reclamation coaunlssioa Is Insisting upon.
