Approved January 20, 1006.
Filed In tho offlcn of thn tec
rotary of statu January 20,
1J0G.
Kited In the offlco of thn aoc
rotary of atato January 20, 190C,
I think I can apeak authoritative
. ly when I nay to you that when the
comlon wat mada under tint tarin
' of thin act by the state of Oregon to
tho United Htntnii, It wan tho pur
pose aotuly of thn atato to make tho
mine to aid In tho operation ot Ir
rigation and reclamation under the
act of congress approved June 17,
101.
H tho suggestion haa been made
thnt tho water of thn lako ore
, to bo uied for power purpoc or
that tho Rovernment would ever on-
ter Into a, contract with nny private
company or corporation authorizing
the construction of a dam and tht
utlllintlon of tho water of the lako
for tho power purpoie or tho Irriga
tion of land nnt coming wlthm tho
provlilon of the reclamation act, Ihn
legislature would not huvu mado the
ceulon, and I am luro that I never
would hava approvod tho act.
Taking It hy tho .four corner nnd
reading It a a whole, I am uru you
will conclude with me that the term
of .the act bear out the contention
which I horo mado.
Contrary to tho term alheroof,
your predecessor has otitcrod Into n
contract with tho Callfomla-OroRon
. I'owor company, authorising the con
struction of n dam that will rulao tho
water of tho lako, for tho purpose
of controlllnR and rj-gulatlng them
for thu period of CO years.
1 will not undertake lo call atten
tion In detail to thu provision of tho
contract, bocnuso you Imvo It before
you; but, taking It altogether, tho
main purpose of It Is ,to authorise
tho utilisation of tho water for pow
er purposes, nnd Irrigation Is n inoro
Incident to tho contract. In my opln
Ion, It Is vlolatlvo of tho act of the
Oregon loglslnturo, and tho socrotary
of tho Interior had no power to au
thorise tho utilisation ot the wa
' tor for power purposes, and IrrlRa
tlon Is a mere Incident to the con
tract. In my opinion, It Is violative
ot the act ot the Oregon legislature,
and tho socrotary of tho Interior had
ao power or authority to enter Into
It.
In tho second place, the United
States ought not to transfer tho con
trol of any part of the water of
Klamath or any other lake altuatod
s It I to tho 'Jurisdiction and con
' trol of any private company or cor
poration, If a dam la to bo construct"
ed whero tho power company now
proposes to construct one, It "ought
to be constructed by the federal gov
ernment and the waters ot the like
controlled entlroly. In the publ'.j In
terest It Is claimed by, the reclamation of
ficials that the construction nf this
dam by tho power company will oh
as aid to Irrigation fit landa in Kla
math county. If that mi.Uuo, how
much greater would be the benefits
derived from Irrigation of other
lands than those now tinder Irrlga

struct such dam to whatever holght
may bo necossary, .raising the wa
ters ot tho lako o as to utilise all
of tho water thoreot for the Irriga
tion ot land not now under Irriga
tion? Tho contract onterod Into botwocn
tho secretary and tho power company
Is contrary to public policy, and fur
thermore Is contrary to tho genornl
policy of the government under
which limitation and restrictions
are placed upon tho disposition of
water under tho jurisdiction ot tho
federal government. Vigorous pro
test were made to the secretary
against tho execution of this contract
by Individuals In Klamath county
and by omo, If not all, ot tho rep
resentatlvo from Oregon In con'
gross. I felt, when negotiations
were being had, that the contract
ought not to be entered into, and I
feel sow that an effort ought to be
made to cancel It. The company
will resist cancellation, ot course,
but If the contention which I am at
tempting to make U correct the
court will not austaln It.
The raising of the wators of the
lake undor thla contract will flood
quite a large body ot government
lands at the upper end thereof and
Interfero with acquired lights of In
dividuals along the edge of the lake,
and while these are matters of great
Importance they do not, In my opln
tern, compare In magnitude with the
principle Involved and with the pos
sibility of Interfering with later Ir
rigation projects in Klamath county
which the federal government itself
ought to put underway as soon as
moneys are made available by con
gress for that purpose.
liar X say. Mr. Btoratanr. without
meaalag to Impaga the tategiitjr at
tho reclamation officials at Klamath
Falls, that they seem prejudiced In
favor of this contract? In my discus
slons with the Project Engineer, Mr.
Nawoll, ho strenuously Inslstod that
tho porformanco of this contract by
the power company would aid In tho
Irrigation ot lands In Klamath coun
ty, and he did not think tho ,con
tract ought to be disturbed. Hut,
again I repeat, If that be true, the
government Itself ought to construct
tho dam, and Upon your recommen
dation I am surei congress would ap
proprlato tho moneys necessary to do
this: If now, a little later.
Uefore actmg upon tho recommen
datlon ot these gentlemen, an Inde
pendent and impartial investigation
and hearing ought to be bad, so as to
dovelop to, you the whole situation.
In this connection, permit me to say
that at a number of hearings had
before Secrotary Lane In reference
to this contract with the power com
pany Mr. O. Hamele, chief counsel
of the reclamation service, appeared
and was of the opinion that the con
tract with the powor company ought
to be kept in force; at least, that is
my recollection of his attitude. He
recently visited Klamath Falls, and
it was generally supposod that ho
was there to examine tho situation
and make report to the interior de
partment. In view of his wellknown
Attitude upon the aubjeot, It would
be better, It aotms to me, to have
someone without preconcelvod opin
ions to lookklnto the situation, par
ticularly It It I your purpose to act
.without any hearings upon tho 'sub
ject. A great deal of feeling has been
engendered over this matter, and
whea It Is finally aettlfd It ought to
he settled right. Otherwise. It n Im
possible to tell what serious results
may follow.
I am. submitting; these observa
tion to you, Mr. Secretary, first be
cause my familiarity with tht' act
ot the Oregon legislature' In 190S;
second, my knowledge ot the whole
Irrigation situation In Klamath coun
ty; third, my acquaintance with the
present situation In regard to lands
under Irrigation and those that may
tater be Irrigated; and, fourth, my
fooling that this contract, It permit
ted to stund, violates tho act of ces
sion nnd Is contrary to tho national
policy, as well as to public policy
generally. I beg that you will give
the matter your usual painstaking
consldearllon, to the end thnt a pro
per solution or a complicated situa
tion may bo arrived at.
I have the honor to remain,
Tour very 'sincerely,
(Signed)

It la not frequently that publicity
and advertising Is thrust upon a

The Pacific Nash Motor company
la the case ot a Nash six touring
car stolen by four bank robbers from
the Ogden branch ot tho company.
The theft ot the enr was pre
liminary to a action of bank rob
beries in and around bgdon uml Salt

beries that the entire country-side
formed a motor pnxae and started
In pursuit ot the rnbtmre.

nevertheless proud of the fact that
tho sheriffs of two counties burned

In a futile effort to keep In sight

"Notwithstanding the tact that
these fellows gave the Nash car a

ot publicity for the accomplishments
ot tho car, we have no desire to con
tribute any more cars for this pur
pose," said Art Dodenhamer.
