Operation on Klamath Reclamation Project ji How thn $700,000 appropriation for work on the Klamath project during tho fiscal year of 1924, M to bo expended, It tho estimate H sanctioned by congress Is set forth In tho reclamation service estimate for budget appropriations, Jnit 1 sued by thn United State printing office. The $70,000 will cover tbo estimated cost of tbo year's opera tlon and maintenance, continuation of construction and Incidental oper ations. Continuance of general Investiga tions and surveys In connection wllh tho Tulo Lake division will tako $3,000, and hydrograpblc Investi gations not directly chargeable to operation and maintenance, $2,000. Htoragc Hystcni, 273,000 Estimate is made for the con struction of the storage dam for the Horsefly reservoir. This Is lo cated on Miller creek, tbo principal of Lost river, and will have a capac ity of about 90,000 acre-feet. Tk Horsefly reservoir will function h manner similar to Clear Lake refer voir; first, in preventing Hood wa ters, -originating on the Honitlr watershed, from. enterl.g,tTul IJo, and second. In furnishing a stored water supply for about 14,000 acres of good agricultural land In the Lanecll Valley division and for lands In the Horsefly Irrigation dis trict. Tho combined storage ot tne Clear Lak0 and tbo proposed Horse fly reservoirs Is sufficient for about 27,000 acres. Storage for about 20,000 acres will be used for land Included In the Langell Valley di vision and the surplus on lands In cluded In the Horsefly Irrigation district. i Principal Feature ' Ono of tb principal features of the Klamath project Is the reclama tion ot lands In the bed of Tulo lake. Tulo Lake Is a shallow body of water covering an area ot about 100,000 acres. Tbo lake has no vl.lblo outlet. The lands In tho bed of Tulo lake must first b0 un covoted and protected against sub morEcnce. The construction ot tho necessary carrlugo and distributing" works for the Irrigation of the Tulo lake lands nro carried on as tha lands nr0 uncovered. The uncover ing of the lake bed U brought about by evaporallon and by preventing Inflow. Tho construction of tho Horsefly reservoir will vory mater ially Increaso the rato of rcclama tlon and will remove the danger ot tho lands again becoming submorg ed by reason of tho ontranco ot un controlled floods originating on tho Horsefly watershed. The estimated area which can he reclaimed from tho bed of Tulo lako Is 25,000 or more. Tho lako bed lunds ore all in public ownership and will bo available for soldier settlement. Tho cost of constructing tbo Horse fly reservoir will b0 repaid by tho lands for which storage Is provided and by tho lauds reclaimed from the bed ot Tulo lake. DUtribtillou System, $310,000 On tho" main division, $5,000 is requested tar replacing the Lost river .flume and $10,000 for replac ing Iho Poo Valloy flumes. For mis cellaneous lateral extensions to pro vldo Irrigation servlco for lands which have been forced Into tbo Klamath Irrigation district $5,000 Is estimated. Provision has been made for enlarging 'tho diversion canal at an estimated cost of $30,- 000.
