BUG GDI IS HELD NEED Official Inspector Asked by Carpenters Routine Work of Council To Secretary Work Believing that at last we have as Secretary of the In terior a man who will give ear to the greivances of the people of the Klamath Project, we are making this ap peal to you' in their behalf, confident that it will resut in such an investigation as will for all time settle the dis puted points and give the farmers that to which they believe they are entitled. Appeal after appeal has been made to your predecessors, but without avail, because the power of the officials of the Reclamation bervice has been great enough to prevent an honest investigation. What purported investigations have been jnade were carried on by the Service itself, and those in charge of them did hot dare do otherwise than obey the instruc tions of their superiors. The first real step towards the solving of the diffi culties of the Reclamation Service was taken when you dropped A; P. Davis. The next was the appointment of the Fact Finding committee. As you know, the investiga tion of the Fact Finding committee could only touch the high spots, but even then it recognized the justice of many of the claims of our people here and made recom mendations that put the stamp of approval on them. It is to enable us to further bring to your attention and that of the congress the justice of our claim that we are asking for a more complete investigation; one that is not made by the Service itself, but by your personal rep resentative a man in whom you and the public has complete confidence and who can go be fore the congress and there plead our cause with the cer tainty of success. With such qualifications in mind, we are prompted to suggest that you ask, as a personal favor to you and as an act of charity to us, that Senator Borah, or Senator Reed, or Senator Norris, or one of equal public worth and public confidence, come here and give us an opportunity to prove the facts herein set forth and ulace in vour possession the information that will enable you to see that the injustice that has been inflicted upon PRE-WAR BOOZE .

Murphy acquired tho Innfl- ' v , ' When the Reclamation Service entered this field, the farmers were told of the great power possibilities of the project, and that the revenue therefrom would be suf ficient to pay the entire cost. We believe the truth was told, but those who succeeded the officials making these promises turned over to the California Oregon Power comnanv the ditches and water rights that belonged to our people and were paid for by them, without one cent of return. We ask that this sale be set aside, for it is fraudulent upon its face and was made over the protest and without the legal consent ot the people ot the project. If this is not feasible, ihen we ask that the California, Oregon Power company be made to pay for the water rights at the same rate as that charged the farmers and the money applied to a further reduction of the cost of the project below the original promise of $20 an acre. We also ask that your personal representative be di rected to look into the activities between the officials -of the Reclamation Service and the California Oregon Power company. In this connection we wish to state that this company has so debauched affaire in this community that it is practically impossible for the people to gain a hearing before any body of officials and secure a square deal, the one exception being the present board of directors of the Klamath Irrigation district, which was elected last October on a straight out question of whether the people should control their affairs 01 whether they should be further controlled by the California Oregon Power company and the dishonest officials of the Recla mation Service. We are prepared to show that the old board of di rectors of the Irrigation district amended by resolution a contract that was voted by the people waiving all right, title and interest in and to everything on the project, except the right to take water from the canal, without compensation, and that this resolution did not come to the knowledge ot the water users tor nearly a year after wards. This board had no authority to pass such ' a resolution and when it was discovered they were di rected by an overwhelming vote of the people to. take such steps in the courts as would bring about a cancella tion of this contract. This they have refused to do to date. We are prepared to show that this contract is a fraud on its face and that the people were tricked into it bv the dishonest representations of the officials of the Service; that the contract was made for the purpose of carrying out a' well laid plan of turning over to the Cali- '- .(Coutliiucd On Tngij Six),' UNDER WAY LOCALLY plate cover charges, one dollar.
