"That, .In my opinion, alios up tha situation, here In the Klamath Irrigation district." Tho Interior secretary admitted that his department had received moro eoniplulnts from tho Klamath rrlvaKcn district than from any other project, and ho Is hero this week to find out Just what these complaints are and to fix his policies after a complete Investigation. - Definite deuiclon C3n?ernlng the Hooding of lower Klamath lake v'M ba made lata this summer, accord ing to Dr. KlMood Mond, commis sioner or reclamation, who Is hero Willi Secretary of tlio'lnlorfor Work for an Inspection of Klamath pro ject. , "Wb have, decided to have a soil commission appointed from the ITnlvorrlty of Oregon and tho Ore gon Agricultural college," he said.

"If they decide that tha .land Is unfit for agricultural purposes, the Iswer lake -will bo flooded and utll lied as a bird preserve. If the soil la found to bo su'table for 'crops, Ihe settlers will be allowed ta con tinue their reclamation work." . This decision of tho reclamation service apparently settles the bird reserve d'sputo tor the time being at lent, and leaves the question en tlrcly in the hands of .tho soil ex perts yot to be appointed.

' By following this warning, Sena tor .S'.ilpsUuil said, the producors had escaped bolng caught In the "awful crash" In the market.

Tho senator then proceeded to ask Mr. Barnes a sorlos of questions ono of -which Is whether or not It wn9 apparent that wheat nover wua worth $2. and more In Janu ary and February and that "such a price was artificial, unwarranted by world conditions, a ballooning gnmblo cfontod by prlco fixing, spe culators for their own enrichment after the bulk of tho crop was In other hnnds." Referring- to tho chamber of com merce's recommendation to Pro.il tlont Coolldgo that tuturo trading exchnngts be enrournged as a step toward aiding tho farmer.

LLI NGSUN IS DEGLARED BARCLAY IR Work Listens to Tales Of Complaints of Water Users on Local Project Secretary of the Interior Indicates Sympathy with Farmers; District Directors Ask Discharge of Herbert D. Newell "I, too, am a farmer who has been dependent upon irrigation for many years. I know the heart-breaking situ ations which confront you people on reclamation projects. I know of the problems which confront you, and I know of the heart-aches of your wives. That is why I am here to help you. I want to do something toward straightening up this reclamation service. If you have valued power sites on this project the land-owners themselves should profit by them." This was the clarion-toned answer of Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work this morning, calling out of the wilderness of reclamation politics and power company domination at the culmination of a frank and spirited conference with members of the board of directors of the Klamath Irrigation district "You've got your hand in the dog's mouth," was his striking illustrative expression.

He asked for a re-allocation of costs, of the project in order that it might be placed on a more uniform basis. He pointed to the fact that the California, Oregon Power company is using five times as much water as is being used for Irrigation purposes, and yet it is not charged one cent on the . cost of . constructing the project.
