Hlgnrtl Kcbrunr) I7tli.
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. Doubtless the District will de
sire to have this release recorded
which may be done whenever the nee
ccssary arrangements are made by
the District for paying the recording
fees.
"Tho roloaso was signed by the
Secretaryot the. Interior, Mr. Frank
lin K. Lane, on" behalf of the United
States, on Fobruary 17. 1919.
Awaiting your further pleasure in
the matter, I am,
Very truly yours.

Thorow that has been started by Di
rector Bradbury to snvo to tho people
of tho District the power thnt the
Service is trying so s(renuously',to
tako away from them and hand over
to tho California-Oregon Power Com
pany, woko someone up, with the re
sult that tho Reloasc wns promptly
signed nnd forwarded, so thnt tho
government could show specific per
forntanco and thus forestall any ef
fort to throw- the contract out.
Whether this release Includes the
conditions of tho Iniquituous resolu
tion (ho Directors pussod, declaring
that tho district wanted, to surrender
all rights in tho power and power
possibilities. 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. It approved tho proceedings
as thoy relate to tho contract voted on
by tho people, but not Including the
Infamous resolution, and tho District
should bo very careful that it is not

qtflclals should bo made to prove

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. But
If any Jokers are tucked away, In It,
