County Court
Puzzles Over
Prison Plans
Should the county wait until it
has sufficient funds to construct a
jail that will last for years to come?
Or should it take the 120,000 now
available anil build iron cells in
what now serves for a jail, on the
top floor of the court house?
This is tho question which County
Judge Bunnell and' Commissioners
Martin and Short are scratching
their official cranie.nis about now.
"To build a modem jail, targe
enough to serve our needs for u
long time to come it would take
$10,000 more than we can now
raise." Judge Bunnell said. "Such a
jail would provide adequate space
for cells and also for the sheriff's of
fice. "Of course, that is what we want,
but we haven't the money. But with
the funds available we can construct
cells within the present jail that
will make it a far bettor prison than
it is now."
Monday night the county court
remained In, session until 10 p. in.
consulting with contractors and en
gineers concerning costs and plans.
"We have another problem to
solve." Judge Bunnell remarked.
"That is whether or not the Improve
ment we would xm,a of the present
jail would he safe. That is. it will in
cttulo steel ceils, which will increase
the weight the supports ef the build
ing must bear. We must decide
Whether or not the iron cells would
cause a weight tho building can
safely stand.
"Of one thing the court is certain.
and that is the necessity of another
jail. Tlie. one now used is a joke.
"Yes. we plan to make a definite
decision on the mutter in tlie near
future.

OIG PROJECT IS

KLAMATH RIVER
Mining and Hydro Eelectric
Operations Planned by
California Man
TO COST $10,000,000.00
Would Tunnel Under Rivei-
Bed Twice and Empty
Back Into Bed Again
SACRAMENTO. Oct. 21. (JP)
Thomas M. Park of Han Francisco
has applied to the state division of
water rights for permission to divert
waters of the Klamath rivet In Sis
kiyou county for utilization In min
ing and hydro-electric power produc
ing project estimated to coat 110,
000,000. Details of the project dis
closed at the office of the division
of water rights, show the project lo
be one of the most unique on record.
Balked by a state law prohibiting
the construction of dams on certain
stretches of the Klamath river, tho
applicant plans to divert part of tho
river flow through tunnels, cutting
across two bends in the river, His
plans call for the taking of the water
at the two points opening from tho
river bed whence Is would be cSr-
ried through tunnels down ward un
derground. Divert Kiitire River
Mouths ot the tunnels would bo
in the river beds, the water being
carried downward and emptied Into
the river again at lower elevation.
The natural fall would permit devel
opment of a total of approximately
8S.000 theoretical horsepower, ac
cording to Park's estimates. '
In combination with the hydro
electric project the applicant seeks
permission to cut down the flow of
i he river around the bends cut oft
by tho tunnels to about one half the
normal flow In order to facilitate
gold mining in the dried portions
of the bed.
The exces3 of electric power not
used in the recovery of gold, Park
says, would be sold to nnnamod
public utility corporations.
