wnlRht, and tho outlook for congres
sional ratification of tho appropria
tion ns recommended la bright. In
other words thn committee's report
put tho big appropriation well In tho
clear and smooth sailing from now
on la anticipated.
At ono tlmo It seemed poaalblo that
tho local appropriation would ho
trimmed to about two-thirds of tho
alio reported, olng to opposition
from other communities with big pro
jects underway, but apparently that
oppoaltlon Is overcome.
Moro than any other causo tho
flattening of tho opposition Is duo.
thoao on tho Inaldo know, to tho In
fluence and Indctatlgablo efforts of
Congressman N. J. filnnott. whoio
Interest In this district Is undivided
and supreme.
Tho $1,213,000 appropriation will
giro tho local project approximately
threo times tho fund for development
that was avaltablo for tho current
year, said II. D. Newell, project man
ager today.
The appropriation will be used for
tho furthoranco of four pending de de
veeopments: tho completion of the
Henley flume; hangell valley de
velopment; Horsefly reservoir de
velopment, and tho completion ot
canala and diversion works to bring
the Tule lake lands under Irrigation,
There nro other rocommcndatlons.
but these aro the big outstanding
projects that will bo speeded by tho
appropriation.
Tho Tulo lako development means
construction ot tho C-O cutoff
h will allow tho flow of water,
ed from I'ppcr Klamath lako
throiiRh tho present canal system,
Into Lost Illver. the building ot a di
version dam In Lost Illver bolow
Merrill, and then building of canals
and laterals to convoy the water to
tho tortile lands ot tho Tulo lako bed,
which oven under "dry" farming thla
season produced stupendous grain
crops.
Klamath can count on unrelaxcd
vigilance ot Congressman Slnnott and
his colleagues In congress to put tho
big appropriation through as It
stands and tho application ot tho
fund to tho project will mean an
advancement that will Increase tho
wealth ot Klamath county many fold
In tho noxt few years.

Home 30,000 acres ot lands In the
valloy now aro being watered from
tho fihajta river, a tributary of the
Klamath river, flowing from tho
northern slopes of Mt. Shasta. This
acreage Is all that this stream can
water. Desire for added Irrigation
In the district, in order that somo
135,000 acres more may be brought
under irrigation and to a higher do-
grco of fertility, thereby increasing
crop production has caused landown
ers to consider tapping the Klamath
rlvor. To obtain this water storage
must bo resorted -to the Klamath
lako being dammed at the lower
end and lands at tho nothern end
diked. In order that they will not
bo Inundated.
Owners along the lower margin ot
tho lake also would needs be reim
bursed.
Dr. Klwood Mead ot Berkeley was
in Washington, D. C, last week con
forrlng with Secretary of the Interior
John Ilarton Payne. Ho Is seeking
to havo tho United States reclama
tlon service mako tho surrey to def
initely determlno the cost ot the pro
ject. The feasibility ot the project
from a physical standpoint, accord
ing to the state engineer's office, Is
well determined. Tho diversion from
tho Klamath river would be largely
by gravity.
The power company recently find
ing that tho flow through tho Kla
math river Is largo during tho winter
poriod and small during the summer,
cannot obtain tho flow needed during
tho dry season to add to the generat
ing capacity ot Its Copco power plant.
Water diverted higher up tho
Klamath river and taken into the
Shasta valley and then dropped Into
tho Copco plant would generato a
greater amount ot power due to the
greater water fall. This would be
duo to tho tact that tho mean oleva-
tlon ot tho Shasta valley Is consider
ably In oxcess ot that at tho Copco
plant. Uxampllng this is tho state
ment that halt tho flow ot water
drbpped Into the plant from an alti
tude somo 240 feet higher would give
tho snmo generating capacity now
given by tho plant.
A statement as to tho plans, pur
poses and claims ot tho district as
made by W. W. Watson, cnglneor
of tho district, Is as follews:
Its ultimata purposo Is tho Irriga
tion of Shasta valley. Its Immedi
ate purposes Is acompleto Investiga
tion ot its possibilities. It Is ex
pected that that lnvestlgrJlon will
bo mado by tho United Starts reclam
ation servlco and financed by tho dis
trict.
Shasta valley is In Siskiyou
county, California. It extends irom
Mt. Shasta on tho south to the
Klamath rlvor on the north. It has
an avorngo nltittido ot 2600 or 2600
feot and n cllmnto which provides
for four crops ot alfalfa por year,
It contains npproxlmatoly 126,000
acres ot tillable land. Its fortuity
is alroady demonstrated. Its rain
fall Is hopolossly Inadequate. Al
available water within tho volley haa
boon appropriated nnd put to work,
This Is serving a small fraction of
tho whole area. Irrigated, this valloy
would probably (and comfortably)
sunnort 20 times Its present popula
tion. It needs Irrigation and Is worth
Irrigating.
Aa part ot tho Klamath drainage
basin, Shasta valloy is entitled to ir
rlcation with Klamath river water,
All data at present available Indicate
this can bo accomplished eco'
for our water supply, Thla supply
Is adequate. The mean annual' run
off measured over a period ot six
teen years, has been 1.600,00 acre
feet. All the lands ot tho Klam
ath basin above Keno, which It has
been planned should bo Irrigated with
Klamath river water, will require
loss than 600,000 acre-feet. The re
maining 1,000,000 (or more) acre-
feet, under the present scheme ot
things, aro not available tor Irriga
tion and aro producing very llttlo
power.
This water will continue to ba
wasted until the runott shall havo
been regulated by means ot a dam
at Klamath Falls, Ore., and dtKq
to protect the marsh lands and man
ufacturlng plants north ot Klamath
Falls. Such dam and dikes aro prac
ticable and are essential to the var
tous Klamath Irrigation project and
to the development ot power In large
quantities with Klamath river water,
available for the Irrigation ot Shasta
valley. Dam and dfkes will be built
In any case. That waste will not be
allowed to continue.
Tho California-Oregon Power com
pany, under contract with tho re
clamation service, has undertaken to
regulate part of this water supply la
order that they may havo a more
stable flow for their plant at Copco,
California.
Copco hs lower than the greater
part of Shasta valley. Wator used at
Copco for power cannot bo made
avallablo for the Irrigation ot Shasta
valley or of any other considerable
agricultural area. Our plan will,
therefore Interfere with the opera
tion of the Copco plant. However,
wo propose to divert our water at
an altitude ot 40S0 teet and de-
llvor most ot it for distribution at
an attitude ot 3000 feet. Along Its
main lines ot delivery, then, and
without interfering with irrigation,
this project can devolop approximate
ly seven times tho power possible at
Copco with tho same amount of wa
ter.
It seems logical that tho California
Oregon Power company leaso this
power. The company has Investments
and some undisputed water rights on
the Klamath river. Just what would
constitute a fair settlement between
tho district nnd tho company" should
bo determined by a board ot experts.
Wo "aro not conscious of any fight.
Tho officers ot tho power company
have expressod their readiness to
help In tho development ot this val
ley. Wo bollevo that tho project
will bo nblo to offer thorn an ,eqult
ublo settlement nnd n chonco to sup
ply electricity to a constantly In
creasing market.
Urlcfly, the plan Is to Irrigate
Shasta valley with stored water from
Klamath lake, without Interfering
with tho agricultural needs ot any
part of tho Klamath dralnago basin
nnd without reducing the power pos
sibilities of the Klamath river.
