Klamath Water Users and Canal Company at Impasse on Government Project
In Klamath Falls on April 26 the Klamath Water Users' association and the Klamath Canal company stand about 150000 apart over compensation for the government irrigation project. President Hawkins of the canal company seeks 250000 for full property, while the Water Users propose a bonus over actual costs, likely 100000 to 125000. Hawkins says the company spent 205000 and acted in good faith before government investigations, and asserts landowners want government irrigation. The company serves 26000 to 30000 acres and claims water diverted does not belong to the United States but Oregon. Engineers say federal rights exist only by Congress, and that the canal’s location may require landowner permission or congressional approval if navigable. The government may still proceed, with a court case set before Judge Bellinger on June 8, with Francis J. Heney representing the government.
