With one hundred members pres ent at last night's meeting Klamath Posf( No. 8, of the American Legion, reiterated Its opposition to any re opening of the Upper Lake lease o( 10,000 acres of marsh lands to Doak, & Drown. Tho opposition was unan imous. On account of an alleged ''change'' ot. sentiment" In Klamath Falls re garding the leases, Representative -N. J. SInnott telcgrai)hc4rji;H. Carna-" nan commander of the 'local post to ascertain If the statenfent were true. Mr. Carnahan immediately answered that sentiment In the Legion against tho leases was stronger than . ever and the post last night backed v this stand without a dissenting volco. ' As far as he is ablo to determine,"? public sentiment outside tho Legion J ranks is aligned as it was before the-, leases were cancelled two weiks ago, . sajn the post commander. Thc'Legion supporters ate standing firm. " . Tho new proposal of the depart- i ment of the interior is to leaso the marsh land to Doak & Brown for , thirty years on condition that- they dike and, reclaim the area, providing, that the government may revoke the lease at any, time within one year by navlnir the cost of the diklntr. .The Legion opposes this proposal; as a subterfuge to give the California-Oregon-Power company control of the situation. On one hand they claim that the power company would secure the diking of the land and the govern ment pay tho bill, if 'payment? was made inside a year, and on the other hand if funds were not forthcoming to pay the contractors and tho re clamation appropriation is tar In ar rears ot contemplated projects now the leaBO might run the full thirty year period. r The financla report of tho post last night showed that despite drains for telegraph tolls and other expen ses in carrying on the fight so tat against the leases, the treasury is in condflfon to bear another campaign. ..Membership is growing, 21 new mem bers being enrolled last night, and the post Is flourishing. , ... .
