Tiie truth Is that this expense ms
contracted during the visit to tin

Mead, commissioner of reclamation.
Heretofore Mead and other rccVama
tion officials had been taken about
the county in Copoeurs to see what
Copco wanted them to see and to
: hear, what Copco wanted them (.j
hear. T.)e present board determined
:'h"l Mend 3h:uld travel with irrl-
gallon district officials and hear
things from tho point of view, of the
iwater users. That $16 was spent
as the only way Copco could bo fore
stalled during Mead's visit to Klamr

Honest Service
Then there was a charge of $10.13
for oil and gasoline, w.uvh the
"Copco la Office" sattelltes sought
to make the water users believo
was a criminal waste of famers'
money. But these people forget
that when O. L. Wlshard vas sec
retary of the district he hired auto
mobiles at $10 a day and more
for his trips over the district. 'Tho
present secretary borrowed a car and
paid, only for tie oil and gasoline,
thus saving tae water users, ai'cn
siderable sum of money.' '
Its answer to the unfair and 'hlall-
i clous barga3 ct the crowd' who
want to see the Copco-Reclamation
Service group regain control ;:f tho
distriofs affairs is given by llto
present board of directors in trie
following itemized statement:
The California Oregon Power com
pany and Archie Wlshard take vio
lent exception in the Klamath,
otherwise "Copco". News, of this
date, to expenses of the Klamath
Irrigation District In the past year.
Tho first question Is, what busi
ness Is it of the California Oregon
Power company and its propaganda
shoet, which gives uway its Issues?
Do they imagine that, because, with
the aid of the U. S. Rreclamatlon
