' I)y R. K. DRADnURY,
Director of KUmath Irrigation
District
Klamath today welcomes the mem
bers of the congressional approprbv
tlon committee and officials of thai
reclamation service. It la seldom
that a community to afforded the op
portunity of presenting their claims
for recognition or preference as will
be afforded by the visit of these gen
tlemen. Upon the verdict of this, commute
will depend the appropriations neces
sary for the assistance cf local Irri
gation districts In reclaiming approx
imately 175,000 acres of land. Of
this over 103',000 acres are public,
and would bo available for settlement
by formor service men and women.
Water I available in existing reser
voirs for all of this land, with tbe ex
ception of about 40,000 acres. Tho
Isnds awaiting reclamation and Irri
gation are In tho main of proves)
value and fertility and tbe construc
tion of dams and canala necessary for
the conveyance of water to then
landa presents so difficult or unusual
eaglaeeting problems.
A brief history of the Klsmath pro
ject might be of value In" fixing tho
present status of the project.
At the Inception of tbe project the)
main portion waa la private owner
ship and the prsaent.dlstrlbntlng sys
tem was coustracted to serve thooe-
laads which aro embraced la tho
Klamath Irrigation", district. Bator

In California. The major portion of
the money expended on the Klamath,
project ha 'been apportioned to thane
landa and is being returned to tho
reclamation fund. These lands oc
cupy tbe heart of the Klamath pro
ject and the reservoir (Upper Klam
ath lake) and canals that supplr
t"en are of sufficient capacity to
supply a great deal larger acreage
than Is now being served, with a.
comparatively small outlay for canal
extensions. .
When the government undertook;
tbe construction of tbe Klamath pro
ject, the land and reservoir sites la
private ownership were found to bo
quite aa obstacle to the success tat
prosecution of the work of construe
tlon. It waa found necessary to ex
pend Urge sums of money for reser
voirs with capacity for water-storago
in exceaa of the requirements' of the) '
landa now being served. Condition
at this time, however, are reverse
and the extension of Irrigation on tho
project by private enterprise Is ham
pered by the predominance of publlo
lands 'and government ownership at '
reservoirs, which reduces tho assets
of proposed districts and curtail tho
amount of money that can bo raised
by bond issue to auch an extent that
sufficient funds cannot be fonnd to
construct reservoirs and distributing;
systems for tho Irrigation.
Basasaary of Kxtenstoaa
The following Is a brief enumera
tion of the principal extensions of tho
Klamath Project which are wholly or
largely dependent upon government
assistance for reclamation and irri
gatien:
Lower Klamath marsh Total
acreage, 87,000. Apportioned, 27.
000 In Klamath Drainage district. Of
the balance unorganlted, approxi
mately 30,000 acres Is public latfd.
Tho available water supply for Irri
gation is Upper' Klamath lake. Ap
propriation needed for surveys and
plans for reclamation.
Tulo lako Total acroago 96,000,
with 6,000 acres nflw under Irriga
tion and 13,000 acres awaiting con
struction of dam on Lost river and
supply canals. It Is estimated that
the reclamation of 47,000 acres addi
tional would be assured by tbe con
struction of Horse Fly dam and reser
voir covering 60,000 acres, .all of
which would be public. Of this aero
age, 24,000 acres would receive a
water supply from Upper Klamath
lako and tho balance would bo do-
