vvcirnro' of the Klamath pro

one of the niniiy legal jokers
the (rovcrninental ..tilrksters
havo slipped into tho vniious
contracts that the farmers have
been , swindled' Into accepting,
wherein the Ankeny canal was
excepted from the provisions
of the particular contract adopt
ed in 1318.
Again was it noticeable when At
torney Holgato was galvanized Into
activity after days of inocir.as de
suetude, when be sougnt to make
ll appear that tho provision in the
Power company's contract with the
government, whereby It was espec
tally reserved that it carried with
It no water rights, was an act of
protootloi) of tho people's rights es
pecially exercised to prevent their
bolng plundered by this particular
corporation pet ot tlio Interior de
partment. Holgato Attempt. Failure
Ho failed, however, as Mr. Brad
bury aptly pointod out that tho
reason tho provision was Inserted
was an act of congress of Febru
ary 25, 1020, which forbids such
sale without the consent of the
wator users, that It shall not be
sold it It should Injure tho project
and tho proceeds from the sale shall
bo turned into tho project.
As matters now stnnd, there is no
salo, just, a tree gift, for tho 'pow

if tho present policy of tho Interior

Thus "it Is that the hand that

Dr. FrbltJof Nanson, the Arctic

expro.'sed his belief today that
-Amundsen would return safe-

tho North Pole. ".'
Dr. Nanuen said it would be
Impossible for Amundsen to
determine from the air whether
he was at the pole. Therefore
ho believes Amundsen landed
woencvor he thought lie was
near the pole and thca took
observations, this would require
some time and thereafter it
would be necessary for the
party to Journey afoot to the
pole, whore Amundsen un-
dotibtedly would take sufficient 4
time for careful 'measurements ..
and Investigations. Therefore, . i
eaid Dr. Xanaen there Is no
occasion for worry because
Amundsen has not returned.
