Land Owners Fight Water Rights Change Here
A large group of landowners in the Ah tanum valley allied with the Theton Water Users Association protest the final canal survey and proposed irrigation changes. They claim the Reclamation Service altered levels to favor about 100 acres, threatening land values from 40 to 80 dollars per acre, and plan appeals to the Interior Secretary. The final survey is incomplete and engineers, led by Jacobs, face continued disputes as the association trustees prepare Monday meeting actions. Oregon seeks to recover more than 100,000 dollars from historic Civil War era posts via claims agent Crawford in Washington.
