John T. Whistler of the United States Geological Survey endorses the Batter Creek scheme as the most feasible Oregon project. Chief Engineer Newell cites three potential sites in the state, including Umatilla and Silver River, outlining storage plans and costs to place water on 50 000 to 100 000 acres, with a projected $10 to $15 per acre. A separate report notes a deadly sheep kill by five masked men near Christmas Lake, tied to cattlemen range conflicts, and details tax-default sales and county collection gains in Lake County.
