for the Klamath Irrigation
district have returned -from
Salem, where they were
victors' over the California
Oregon Power company in
the battle to save to the
farmers of the district the
waters of Klamath lake.
This is the first time the
Power company has met de
feat and the men responsi
ble for it have just reason
for the satisfaction they feel
over their success. - 1
' The application for a per
mit to appropriate 1000 sec:
ond feet of the waters of
Link river, to be taken out
just south of . the Power
company jdam at the head
of Link river was made in
1919. This application re
mained dormant until about
the time of the abortive
hearing before the Board of Survey
and Arjustment, when James T:
Chinook, former superintendent of
Water Division No. 1 of this sl'.ito.
and now attorney for tho Pjwer
company, actively took up the mat
ter of the allowance of this appli
