MORE FEDERAL INTERFERENCE
A few days ago there appeared in the press a state
ment bearing upon conditions on the Klamath project,
it being claimed by the newspapers publishing it thai
it was given out by Commissioner of Reclamation Mead.
There were so many things in that statement that were
deliberate falsehoods that the officers of the Klamath
Irrigation district demanded either a retraction, or proof
of its correctness. To these demands no answer was
received, but Congressman Sinnott was advised by
Mead's assistant, a fellow named Dent, that the com
missioner had issued no statement.
' i Now, there is a reason back of all this. For years the
reclamation service has been moving heaven and earth
to deliver to the California Oregon Power company
water rights that are worth millions and which today
belong to the farmers of the project. Everything was
going along nicely until one year ago. when the farmers
discovered what was going on and secured control of
the board of directors of the district through the election
of R. E. Bradbury and Joe Jacob. As soon as these
men took office they stepped the steal and since then
the reclamation service has been powerless to deliver
title to the water to the Power company.
On November 10, there is to be held another election
for directors, at which two members will be chosen. It
is for the undoubted purpose of influencing the result
of this election that the challenged statement was is
sued. A similar trick was tried last year, but met with
failure. The plain intent of the statement in question
was to stir up prejudice among the farmers through the
charge that the large landowners are permitted to
escape payment of taxes ,while the small landowner has'
to foot the bill. Before the campaign is ended it will be
shown that the charge is a lie.
In this campaign the California Oregon Power com
pany and the Southern Pacific are going to leave noth
ing undone that will insure the defeat of the farmers'
candidates and secure the election of the men they have
selected to represent them on tire board. If the recla
mation service dominates the Klamath Irrigation dis
trict as it did for years, the water rights will be sur
rendered to the. California Oregon Power company and
the resolution .asking for a common-user condition be
placed upon any railroad crossing government land
within the project will be withdrawn.
The farmers of the Klamath project will sever con
sent to either of these. They own the water, and they
are going to be paid for it if it goes to the Power
company or any other concern. And they are going to
demand that any railroad passing through the project
shall be constructed under conditions that will permit of
its use by any other company that wishes to enter this
territory. v
MR. GROESBECK'S STATEMENT
The S. P.-Copco mouthpiece, the Klamath News, this,
morning rushes to the defense of Strahorn's attorney,
R. C. Grbesbeck. in an effort to make it appear that
The Evening Herald has attempted to "befuddle, misin- j
form and hoodwink the people," when we printed Mr. I
Groesbeck's letter which appeared in the columns of
the Klamath News, together with his testimony at tne ;
interstate commerce commission hearing in Fontanel.
The Evening Herald made no comment one way or the
other just printed what Mr. Groesbeck had to say on
both occasions. If there is any misinformation, or be
fuddlement, or hoodwinking it must be laid at the door
of Mr. Groesbeck, for that which we printed came from,
that gentleman himself.
That there may be no misunderstanding let us repro
duce the important parts of the articles in question:
Mayor Goddard, in his message to the city council ask
ing that body to take steps to recover the $300,000 that
the city has invested in the Strahorn line, said :
"Further, Robert E. Strahorn and Attorney R. C.
Groesbeck testified at the interstate commerce commis
sion hearing that Mr. Strahorn had never said he was,
going to build a line to Bend."
To this Mr. Groesbeck replied, in his letter appearing
in The Klamath News :
"I did not so testify."
Under oath, at the interstate commerce commission ;
hearing in Portland, Mr. Groesbeck testified as follows,
according to a stenographic report of the testimony:
Q. (By Mr. Wilson.) Were you acquainted with the
representations that Mr. Strahorn made generally there:
in connection with his construction?
A. (By Mr. Groesbeck.) Yes, sir.
Q. I will ask you whether or not any representations j
were made, or any subscriptions taken, upon the basis j
l?f the line being constructed through to Bend? '

A. No, sir.
Q. "Wei e any representations made in connection with
any of these meetings, or any subscriptions, that the
jn"e on the part of Mr. Strahorn that the line was to
be and remain a svstem or line independent of any other
iine."
A. "No, sir."
The stenographic report of the hearing from which
the above is reproduced, indicates that Mr. Groesbeck
did testify "that Mr. Strahorn had never said he was
going to build a line to Bend."
