The Sunnyside Irrigation district,
represented by ita president, Harry
Boss, appeared before the board of
survey and adjustment at the court
house yesterday morning,, with a
complaint of excessive water charges
for their land, which drew tho
closest attention of tho board, and
judging from the expressions of the
exumlners, Mr. Boss' neighbors will
certainly be recommended relief by
Messrs. Campbell, Goodwin and Del
zell. Mr. Boss said the heads of the
local reclamation service had orig
inally promised tho Sunnyside set
tle that the charges for bringing
water to their land would be $15
per acre, with possibly an additional
levy of a dollar or so. but the facts 1
were that when these settlers ac-

tuinly felt they had a kick coming.

Lakevlew to the California boun
dary was authorized.
Because an alleged "speed trap"
Is maintained at Gold Hill, the Ore
gon State Motor association laid be
fore' the commission a proposition
to build a new road on the west
Bide of Rogue river to go around
the town. It la charged that the
revenue derived from finea levied on
tourists for exceeding the speed lim
it and other infractions of the traf
fic laws are made the perqusites of
certain officials and that conse
quently they are levied on the slight
est pretext, with the result that
tourists are boycotting the state.
It was represented that a new
route could be constructed at a cost
which would compenaato for the
loss, of "about three miles of paved
highway and two bridges.
The proposed change of routo is
not endorsed by the Jackson county
court, which, looks upon the local

"But I've never been brought Into

Well, Ita rather sudden news to me.
Certainly I never committed myself
to such a statement or even a hint
of it.
"You want my personal views?
Well, It would be the finest thing
Klumath Falls ever gained a ter

You would, have a city of 25,000 to

were the case. I wouldn't have
given my opinion, but since I am
reported to be working for the S.

so. But so far as I know there's

Detonations Sound Far In
Night But Shelling
To Continue
The greater part of the oil day
bearing before the Board of Sur
vey and Adjustment yesterday waa
taken up by the Klamath Irrigation
district officials in their attack on
the sale of the Ankeny and Keno
canala of April, 1923 to the Cali
fornia Oregon Power company, and
in the mass of testimony and reams
of reports Introduced, the water
users played their trump card In
the introduction of a report on the
water supply of Upper Klamath
lake compiled by Consulting. Engi
neer A. H. Lamm, of Portland,
a graduate of Hanover university,
the report tending to establish 4hat
with 315,000 irrigable acres claim
ed to be tributary to Upper Klam
ath, fully developed there would
be a shortage of water. The re
port also pointed out that with two
successive years of drouth, suclras
1924 a much less area of land on
the project under Irrigation would
impoverish the supply.
Newell Disagree
Disagreeing with 15 n gin e. 7
Lamm's figures in part, H. D. New
ell, superintendent of the Klamath
project said the engineer's Teport
was too high in claiming an ulti
mate IrrigabU area cf 75.000' acres:
in Tule lake.' Mr. Newell said a
maximum of 35,000 acres were all
that could ever be expected to be
irrigated in that great ' drained
basin. Also the visiting engineer
Included some 65,000 acres In Low

said the -development of Lowej
Klamath hinged on the soli survey
to be .made this summer. If the
soli was proven unsuited for grir
culture the whole area would again
be flooded and consequently deduct
ed from Lamm's total. Also the
Lamm report took some 75,000
acres of Indian land into consid
eration, and as this area which Mr.
Newell admitted was substantially
correct, lies at an elevation higher
than the lake, It Would be necessary
draw on streams Tunning into Up
per Klamath for Its water supply,
and tho surplus and drainage water
from these acres under irrigation
would run back into the lake. This
was not taken into consideration
in the report. ,
Much Controversy i
Considerable controversy was
taken up relatlro to Lower Klam
ath lake's Irrigable area should
water from Upper Klamath be re
quired for .its development. ' Mr.
Newell took only 27,000 acres there'
into consideration, that area 'Celng
located on the Oregon side of ihe
line In what is known as .the Klam
ath drainage district. At this point
Attorney Carnahan made a heated
objection, saying "why are you re
fusing to consider approximately
60,000 acres of the same kind ot
land that lies just across the stale
line in California, all in the same
body? You don't contemplate Ir
rigating that land because the wa
ter is needed to turn the turbines
of the California Oregon Power
company at Copco." At this point
Chairman Campbell of the board
took the following sharp issue with
Mr. Carnahan. "Tule lake Is not
being opened UP for settlement at
the present time because the depart
ment of the Interior and 'he 'act
finding board of which I was a
