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

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-
