The Editor of the Herald. v ,
Dear Sjr: l
An article appeared in the Her-
mid on' the 20th instant, signed ' by
"Citizen!" saying that otir';develop
ment and prosperity were about to be
retarded unless certain things were
done. He mentioned timber, irriga
Uon and agriculture as the three
things upjon. "which the future and
prosperity- ot this, pari bMne atate

cipal agencies In the further develop
ment of our lumbering, agricultural
and manufacturing industries," hu
stntes an unwelcome truth.
It is truth, however, that needs
must be driven home with a ven
geance; and 1 propose to avail my
self ot the facts so broadly stated by
Citizen and assist in bringing homo
to our people by a further eluc i
tlon of those facts the exact truth of
the situation.
To begin with. Citizen's teferenco
to the necessity for an intelligent and
immediate conservation
Contribution" is so clesel:
the actual situation outlined by Her
bert D. Newell, in his latter read be
fore the Business Men's meeting in
January, -that a brief reference to a
few of the salient features ot that let
ter will assist, materlallyi in illumin
ating the point made by '"citizen." '
Mr. Newell, conclusively "'"d'emon-
'strated that, unless storage is provid
ed for in the Upper Lake, sufficient
water will not be available-o any ap
preciable extent or benoflt-tb tho
project during years of 'low runoff
without further development.' lie
etes a .period from July,-1-to August
3V.1918,. when j the- total outflow "of
can V)Q thrown open to settlement as
soon u'jj water for Irrigation c.in be
made -available; ami within two or
thn?6 )eurs that urea will be increas
ed to ,u total of 25,000 acrot,; and
when tlint time arrives water wilt be
needed for something like U.'.OOO
uorbs,. T,hpt during yoius of low run?
off, mks the regulations oMhu up
per lake have been made effective
there will be nn Inadequate supply
for only iibout 3G.0J)U acres.
1 mil contenting myself with thu
foregoing brief referenco to facts dis
closed by Mr. Newell, us being sufU-1
dent within themselves to bring
homo to our people tho absolute ne
cessity ot getting solidly belrtnd any
Intelligent plan of action by the Unit

Agricultural resources of the Klam
ath Uasln. That development must
not be subordinated to any collateral
Interests of Unproved and doubtful
merit, nor should that doelopment
be halted by obstructive tactics of
fering no ulternutlve reasonable plan
for securing the same result.
