Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
DAMS make news, and it's newt that the
Klamath country is about to get its biggest
lam.
Geological Investigation! are progressing at
.he lite of the proposed
Boundary dam, on Lost river,
jelow Clear lake, which may
:ost $1,500,000 and will be
Ihc largest structure of the
ilnd in, the regional water
ihed. ThU earth and rock atruc
ture will be 100 feet high,
will extend 800 feet across
'.he canyon, and in full length
the crest may reach 2000 feet.
It will provide storage for
Trom 80,000 to 100,000 acre EPLET
teet of water, or about the capacity of Gerber
reservoir nearby.
We lead off this piece with these statistics
about Boundary dam because it is a major
feature in potential development of the Klamath
reclamation project which promises to outrun
schedules and bring realization to some of
the fond dreams of land use enthusiasts around
here.
Purpose
MAJOR purpose of Boundary dam will be
to control further the flow of Lost river
Hater.
Lost river is the stream which fed the once
expansive Tule lake, and which still spills water
into Tule lake sump.
The present reclamation program in this
area is to restrict and reduce the actual watered
area of the sump, keeping uncovered as much
as possible of the rich farm land in the Tule
lake bottom.
- The immediate project down there is io open
another 9000 acres of land, in the Coppeck
bay area, to homesteading and permanent de
velopment To do that, reclamation engineers
want an absolute guarantee against flooding
in a period of maximum moisture and that
means further control of the spilling from
Iost river.
Boundary dam is Just part of that scheme.
It is also planned to enlarge the diversion canal
. -j-the channel through which water can be
diverted from Lost river Into Klamath river.
With Boundary dam holding back more of
Lost river's water, and an enlarged channel
available for diverting more of it, the recla
fbationists can go ahead with the opening of
additional thousands of acres on Tule lake.
i. That's big news in a community which feeU
more than ever the need for expansion of its
agricultural resource.
Logical
THE dam and diversion channel enlargement
are logical sequela to the construction, a
few years ago, of the tunnel between Tule and
Lower Klamath lakes.
f. Purpose there u to kick more of the excess
water out of Tule lake and thus assure
permanent? cultivation of more land. Purpose
f the new projects is to keep excess water
from getting into the lake bottom,
-j They fit into a pattern of logical develop
ment of one of the nation's most successful
reclamation projects.
a
50,000 Acres
THIS year, some 7500 acre of Tule lake land
will be opened to homesteading and further
development. ThU plan is already completed,
and is not dependent upon Boundary dam and
the diversion channel enlargement.
., Coppeck bay homesteading will add about
i This will make a total of approximately 50,
000 acres of the Tule lake basin permanently
developed under the homestead program.
- The remaining 45,000 acres of the Tule area
will remain technically as "sump" under pres
ent reclamation bureau theories, but large sec
tions of it will still be farmed on a government
lease basis.
The engineers at this time appear to believe
that the 50,000-acre development is about the
limit for Tule homesteading.
. a a a
Lower Klamath
HOWEVER, there exists the possibility that
some 6000 acres of land on Lower Klamath
lake may come along in a homestead program.
Lower Klamath, long considered - a "black
sTieep" among reclamation efforts, is coming at
fist into its own. The channel and pumps by
4yhlch water is delivered from Lower Klamath
frlo Klamath river are now in operation.
This means proper water and drainage con

Another Possibility
NOW, let's go back to Boundary dam and to
Clear lake, which lies just short distance
above Boundary dam, and is the source of
Lost river.
Clear lake Is reservoir, held in control by
a dam, and Boundary dam will supplement it.
Between Clear lake and Tule lake in Cali
fornia are considerable areas of potentially good
farm land, lying in the little valleys flanked by
rocky ridges. This land is within gravity Irri
gation reach of Clear lake. Its development as
irrigation area depends on the availability of
water supply from Clear lake.
There have been years when Clear lake ran
low on water. But Boundary dam, with its
additional storage capacity, will "firm up" the
supply of water in Clear lake reservoir, and
hydrology studies may show that it will be
safe to undertake irrigation of those potentially
fertile little valleys from Clear lake.
The land development possibilities outlined
here today do not cover the whole situation,
by any means. Cliff Dunn has made proposals
for reclamation of certain swamp land on the
east side of Upper Klamath lake. Butte valley
has from 60,000 to 100.000 acres that may
eventually be brought into the reclamation
program. The Sprague river country and other
lands in the Upper Klamath lake area have
been listed in potential development studies.
a a a
Significance
THESE projects are in keeping with the pro
gram urged for the Klamath country a
year or so ago, when a suggestion that Klamath
water be diverted to the Sacramento bajin
precipitated a vigorous opposition campaign.
It was pointed out then that the Klamath
region's best answer to such proposals is to
develop its land and the full use of its water.
The reclamation bureau was asked to make a
complete study. That study is now being or
ganized, and in the meantime. Boundary dam
and the diversion channel development have
come ahead as actual and important steps in
the desired direction.
The demand by veterans for farms on Klam
ath basin's rich lands has helped speed this
program. An anticipated rush of applications
for the 87 farms to be opened this year has led
to immediate steps to make available additional
farms on Coppeck bay. It has helped step up
the whole program, which altogether presents
a challenging and hopeful picture to all who
have confidence in a happy destiny for the
Klamath country.
The World Today
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
AMERICA'S proposal to the United Nations
for international control of atomic energy
development, and for the scrapping of the
atomic bomb as a weapon, may be the lever
needed to break the dead-lock in the conference
of Big Four foreign ministers which is re
assembling in Paris today for a "show-down."
There is no doubt that Uncle Sam's possession
of the only atomic bombs in existence, plus the
secret of their manufacture, has created in
Russian minds doubts and fears which have
done much to widen the breach between Moscow
and the western allies. Washington's offer to
pool this terrific secret the greatest discovery
of its kind in history and to join in outlawing
the bomb in war, is calculated to remove much.
of this suspicion.
If this gesture by the United States doesn't
set the quartet of foreign ministers to harmonis
ing, then it is difficult to see what will turn
the trick. Certainly no more likely moment
could have been chosen to make this move
since, as I've reported previously, there have
been recent signs that Russia was veering
about in the direction of compromise after
winning many of her most important demands.
m
Failure Means Disaster
SECRETARY OF STATE BYRNES has said
that failure of the Paris conference would
be a disaster for mankind. We can see that it
might easily mean the division of Europe not
only into two sections but into two air-tight
and bitterly hostile sections. British Foreign
Secretary Bevin, in an impassioned passage of
his speech before the labor party conference
Wednesday, put the thing like this:
"I am not going to be a party, as long as I
hold this office, to any design or strategy
or allotment of force to attack Russia. But this
division of Europe this awful business of
drawing a line from Stettin to Albania and
behind that this solidified position if this hap
pens, which God forbid you will have two
camps in Europe and that will be a road to
another struggle."
Now of course it must be assumed that Mr.
Bevin was speaking of terms of dividing the
continent into two air-tight compartments
the Russian dominated area east of that Stettin
Albanian line, and the allied zone west of it
into two sections, and nothing can change that.
The best we can hope for is that these two
may work together in harmony.
