DM rlct Knitlneor
In building up his report Engi
neer Lamm took the Klamath coun
try from the beginning just a-J
though t-ld Chief Sohonchin. or some
other high chief of the early tribes
had handed it over In Its virgin
state, he -then proceeded to build
up the dams, canals and power
plants In mythical perfection ac
couuting the detailed cost of each
on completion, the total Investment,
operating costs, and rates for which
power could be manufactured in the
end. It was generally agreed to be
a most comprehensive and complete
report and at the close of its read
ing by the author. Chairman Camp
bell took occasion to compliment
Mr. Lamm on the form ot his re
port and the pleasant and alert
manner of his testimony.
Following the engineering re
port Attorney J. II. Carnahan open
ed his carefully prepared case
against the sale of the Ankeny and
Keno canals with attendant power
rights to the California Oregon
Power company, date of April,
1923. The attorney took up the
history of the project from its in
ception and all details leading up
to the final sale of the properties.
He pointed out that there was
most active opposition to the sale
and that a committee sent here by
the department of the Interior to
investigate the claims of the ob
jectors, kept under cover, and that
there were other acts of an irregular
nature in connection with the trans
fer of this property. "If this con
tract had I' birth in fraud. It is
the duty of the United States courts
to bring a suit in equity to sec the
transfer of these valuable holdings
ot the government and the district
aside," Carnahan said, and it is the
purpose of this hearing to submit
evidence to establish fraud in the
transaction.
Meeting Concluded
Mr. Gocdwln asked it the power
rights were restored, would the dis
trict have the legal right to dev
elop powerT Mr. Carnahan said he
thought if, vouldj The charter of
the old "water users" organization
was introduced, its articles tending
to show that the organization had
the Tights to develop power."
A hold over meeting was held
to a late hour last night in the
hopes of rushing the hearing to a
conclusion a far as testimony Is
uineerned. by m.on today. At the
night session a great mass of re
ports and documents bearing on the
history rf the sale of tho two runals
was read and lutroduced into the
reoords. One of the most interest
ing documents waa a letter written
by ex-senator (leorge E, Chamber
lain to John H. Payne, thvn sec
retary of the interior, in which Mr.
Chamberlaiu objected very stren
uously to the utilizing of I'pper
Klamath waters for power purposes
In any sense of tho word. In
this letter Chamberlain said in his
opinion the Oregon legislature
would never have permitted tho
building of the Link river dam had
they known power development waa
to be placed ahead of irrigation.

of ihe mu:her ships, asking whether
a r1 II -!" expedition was advisable.
Horg' ii replied that the Farm and
HoMuv. no.v in the region of King's
ray, ;itz', rgen, would continue
patroiliug the northern waters un
til six weeks from the date of
Amundsen's departure, in the belief
that the explorers might come to
ward the edge of the ice.
After that period, if no trace has
been found of Amundsen, it will be
assumed that he has proceeded to
ward Cape Columbia. On that as
sumption, tho ships would return to
their base.
Lieut. Horgon advised that two
naval airplanes lie employed to re
connoiter from the edge of tho ice
toward the pole.
At a meeting of the Norwegian
Airplane society today, it was urged
that Norway must be the first coun
try to Rend relief to Amundsen. The
members decided, however, that
Mac.Mlllan would be asked to as
sist In the rescue operations. While
he is on t lie lookout on tho Colum
bia region, the Norwegians will
Bcarch for Amundsen from the di
rection of Spitzbergen, where a re

The aeronautic society recalled,
however, that before his start, Am
undsen earnestly ndviced against re
lief operations.
