In Their Determined Fight To Protect
Klamath Farmers-Copco Scheme
Is Exposed , -
SALEM, Ore., July 8. Because of an ' opinion that
came down yesterday from Attorney General Van
Winkle; State Engineer Rhea Luper has cancelled a
permit of the California Oregon Power company in
Klamath county to appropriate 1000 second feet of water
for power purposes from Link river.
The attorney general holds that these waters are not
subject to appropriation for the reason that the United
States reclamation service has filings on all the water
of Klamath river, including Upper Klamath Lake and
Link river under authority of a legislative act of 1905. :
The discovery that anpermit had been grafted to the
California Oregon Power company was purely accidental.
It was known to the directors of the Klamath Irrigation
district: that the Power company had made application
for this water right, but.a protest had been lodged with
the state engineer, with the request that the Irrigation
"dfetftctftje notified before the-permit asr issued.- About
two weeks ago R. E. Bradbury was in Salem on private,
business and leame'd for the first time that State En
gineer Luper had issued the permit on June 13. Brad
bury brought the matter to the attention of the attorney
general and he informed the state engineer that he ex
ceeded his authority in issuing the permit
Upon his return from Salem, Bradbury informed hi:;
colleague Joe Jacob of what had been done and together .
thev opened the fight that has resulted in the cancellation
of the permit. Bradbury and Jacob, as directors, and
