THE WATER USERS' CONTRACT
The directors of the Klamath Irrigation district are to
be; congratulated f or having rejected the contract govern
ing, the turning over to the farmers the' control of the
Klatnath Project. If it had been accepted, the land
owners, would have found themselves in a worse predi
cament than they now occupy, as it is filled with more
creaked jokers than any of the former contracts the
people have been fooled into accepting. . . '
JUndei the .proposed; contract,. the farmers would sur
render all right to surplus water, to their power rights
anijt power sites and would confirm the theft of their
property which was turned over by the Reclamation Ser
vice to the Oregon-California Power company. The lat-
; ter concern would secure ownership of the surplus water
Without having tO pay One Cent tO thOSe Whom it Was'p'nps and other general affairs of
stolen and the farmers would be forever prevented trom
taking the matter into court for adjudication.
At an early date you will hear that unless the farmers
take over the operation and maintenance of the project,
there can be no. extension of payments and no morat-.
orium.will be granted. But this . sort of talk need excite
no fear. For orice the people are represented on the
board of "directors by men who are not serving the Re
clamation Service or private interests they are protect
ing the rights of the landowners and will doubtless con
tinue to do so.. They never will accept for submission to
the f armers a contract that is not fair and it is fortunate
for them; and for the entire county, that such men have
been placed in so important a position of trust and that
they are so honestly administering it . ' , ; ,'. ,

Concerted action on the part of
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will be
gin here Alonday in an endeavor to
secure at least 8,000 pledges from
local residents that they will use

At what is said to have been tbe
largest gathering ever seen in the
city park, Todd spoke for an hour
last night on issues of the past and
present in. city and county affairs,
and. dwelt at some length on the
supposed murder last Friday nigbt
of Thomas Dovery. publisher ot the
Cowlitz County News and Todd sup
porter. , In.: his talk, which he
called "He was my friend," Todd
said: ' ... ' ' . . . - . .., '
Was Too Fearless
"Thomas Dovery was ono of the
least selfish, men I, have known.
Fearless in carrying forward what
be considered the cause of he com
mon people, he never, attempted to
conceal facts from friend or enemy,
whether or not his presentation of
the facts caused men of great power
to back. his newspaper. From his
pen dripped the - spirit of the
crusader editor."
Cowlitz county commissioners
have authorized the expenditure of
$5000 for the Investigation of the
Dovery death. Of this sum J3000
is to be paid tp Luke S..May, Seat
tle criminologist, retained by the
county to trace, the supposed mur
derer. The commissioners said
they .would appropriate another
15000 If it is needed.
. Before leaving for Seattle on
Tuesday May , repeated that no
tangible plew to the death mystery
had been found. Of first importance
in the investigation, he said, is thol
determination of whether or not the
gun and the bullet found near the1
death scene . are tho ones used in
Dovery's slaying.

maintained a kilty in which chips
were deposited by the winner of

Volstead days and tho kitty was
used for the provision ot .liquid
nourishment. Members of the club
soon found that the kitty got ull
tho money, and that If tho club
were to continue It would be neces
sary to bring In new members.
"So it la with the modern com
munity. New blood must bo

community will find themselves
much worse ort than If competition
were encouraged and newcomers In
vited." . Mr. Lees spolio of the work now
being done by tho V. S. chamber
and brought out the fuct that it did
in a national way what local or
ganizations did In their own com
munities. An Interesting musical program
was furnished by the Oregoniuu or

Just a few words in the lost and found
column of the HERALD and Mr. Stallard
told everyone in Klamath County that he
had lost his horse and wrtuld pay $5.00 re
ward for its return. '
Of course Mr. H. S. Smith saw the ad,
because he is just like evei-y one else who
reads the HERALD he is interested in
everything he sees in it.
All jthat was left for him to do was to get
in touch with Mr. Stallard and the horse
was .returned home.
