"It Is a fact that Colonel Marshall's
plan for the Irrigation of 12,000,000
acres la the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys Is being given seri
ous consideration throughout those
valleys. Mr, Marshall's plan consid
er the diversion of the .Klamath
river Into .the Sacramento river.
'.The localities which are ladllerent
to their. rights and are, maklmg' no
special, effort to claim those rights
are anlte likely to be overlooked Jsi
plans for state wide development. '
This fauUment la some form la erne
that we, met whenever ,we asMited
that the.rlgM of theJUmath drain
age basin were being tafrlued upon
y Mr. Manhatl'a project. 'Evident
