The Klamath Irrigation District ban been advised by the Reclamation Service that it has signed a Release of Lien of the lauds within tho boundar ies of the District, with the exception of that embraced within t'tq different townsltcs. This matter has been hanging fire for nearly a jcar and a half and the speed which the Service has shown in the matter of releasing tho lands Indicates that It has no desire to sec an abrogation of the contract entered Into at the time of the creation of the Dlsrlct. The letter advising the Directors of the District of the release was re ceived this morning, and is us fol lows "Klamath Irrigation District. Klam ath Falls, Oregon. Gentlemen: "This office Is Just In receipt of Rolcaso of Lien of lands within the boundaries of the Klam nth Irrigation District with certain excepted lands as more specifically designated nnd described in. tho re lease.

Is rot known nt this time' but If it does, the District should .receive It as n "scrap of paper" and return it for rovlsion along the lines of the contract that was really voted upon. Tho claim that the Circuit court approved the proceedings is In correct.

The signing of this release rom6es tho last oxcuso against tho District Joining In tho suit to save the power that the opponents to such a move have. Tho claim was advancod that if the District would enter Into such proceedings,, tho government would refuse to' release tho lands and they would thus bo tie dup Indefinitely and the cost Incurred In the Croatian of the district would bo lost, The re ceipt of this letter disposed of this contention, and If the Release con tains no jokors, tho consummation of the contract is n mere formality.
