GRAZING CASES ARE SET AHEAD MALHEUR COUNTY GRAZING LAW CASES WILL BE TRIED AT MARCH TERM IN SALEM; MEN- DIOLA JOINS WARD AND FRASER IN APPEAL. HEAVY RUN-OFF FOR OW YHEE Washington. D. C - Feb. '1 —The $2,000,000 Item for the Owyhee project was retained in the appro priations bill after argument today. Representative Butler lead the fight for the Owyhee. Refuting the statement of former Representative Cram ton that water shortage threatened the Owyhee proj- ct, E. C. Van Petten declared yesterday that the direct testimony of R. F. Wal ter, chief engineer of the bureau of rec lamation, is to the contrary. He quoted Mr, Walter; as saying “When the Owyhee project was started based upon water records kept from 20 to 25 years the average run-off of the Owyhee river is over 1000,000 acre feet. The run-off last year was perhaps the lowest In 100 years.” According to Walter, the Owyhee res ervoir has a capacity of 1,115,000 acre feet. Of this 400,000 acre feet Is dead storage leaving available 715,000 acre feet, while with the run-off there 13 needed only 400,000 acre feet annually, leaving a holdover supply In the years when the reservoir fills of 315,000 acre feet. “Take the lowest combination shown by the annual report of the run-off.” said Van Petten, “ the years 1922 to 1921, and with the lands fully developed .'.nd using the maximum 400,000 acre leet, there is not a single year In which even when the holdover storage would her e been reduced below 315,000 acre feet, I during the following year there could ¡not have been available the full 400,000 acre feet needed. “I f the Duck Valley reservoir ,is to provide water for only the 9000 cattle that can be raised by the Indians, there Is no material damage to the Owyhee In sight.” To substantiate his statements, Van Petten pointed to the run-off record which started In 1896. This is what the record shows; Before another grazing season rolls around, the supreme court of Oregon will decide whether the law permitting restricted grazing In the Jordan Valley country and Malheur county Is consti tutional or not. The cakes of Audrey Ward, D. F. Fraser and John Mendlola vs. Malheur County Grazing Board have been transferred from the Pendle ton May term to the Salem March term. The transfer will bring hearing of the cases two months earlier in the season and it Is expected that a decision will be made before the grazing season opens later In the spring. E. M. Blodgett, attorney for the Mal heur county plaintiffs who attack the constitutionality of the law providing for the organization and control of gra zing districts, stated yesterday that the three grazing cases had been con solidated. John Mendlola of Idaho, a non-resident stock owner, has joined the plaintiffs Ward and Fraser. The Acre three cases will be briefed together for Year.
