south from Tulelake to the Pit
river, and another being ;south
from Klamath river near to the"
state line to the McCIoud river.
The scheme embraces a big stor
aee dam on SoraEue river to
store as much or more water
than is at present stored in Up
per Klamaln lake. The.engincers
propose to divert auoui ouu sec
ond feet, which they, claim is
"surplus water." " ''
Opposition in this area is
based partly on a fear that any
diversion scheme might jeopar
dize the full use of Klamath
watershed water for agricultural
oDeration and development in
this region, with the danger that
once use in Central Valleys is es
tablished, conflicting claims for
the water might develop. The
question of what constitutes
"surplus water" will probably
be raised, as well as doubts of
the permanent value of any
"guarantees" given this basin
that it will get full use of the
water. Numerous other argu
ments wul probably be present
ed by Klamath basin interests.
The full text of Calland's let.
ter to The Herald and News will
be published in this newspaper
tomorrow. In it, the assistant re
gional reclamation director
points out that the reclamation
bureau has a substantial invest
ment in the Klamath basin and
is interested in its welfare.
He said irrespective of the
needs of Central Valley, the bur
eau would not recommend di
version of any except surplus
waters from the Klamath basin.
No water needed for full de
velopment of all the irrigable
lands would be considered as
surplus, nor would water need
ed for municipal or industrial
purposes or maintenance of fish
and wildlife.

This latter proviso would re

get back on the council the
stumbling block to re-entry at
the mid-winter meeting.
Green said Lewis had im
posed the condition at the last
moment, in a letter Sunday,
that the miners would return
onlv if they were represented
on the all-powerful council of
15 members.
This was because, Green sug-'
Rested, the council is the tri
