RECLAMATION SERVICE
REPORT ON HIGH LINE

W.T. WV Wv -''
1t is generally believed that the
public approves of the plan of the
government offered the land own
erS of kittitaS valley, whose hold
ings are under the proposed high
line canal, This was fairly we'll
demonstrated at the mass meeting
held in the Chamber of Commerce
| Thursday evening. The Comnun-
j iCation received from the ReClama
ton service and addressed to the
officials of High Line Canal com
pany follows:
Memorandum Of conference be
tween A. l.. Slemmons, J. c. Hub
bell, B, +. Reed and {. S. Palmer,
of the I>llensburg High Line Canal
company, and Supervising E,ngin-
eer Chas. II, Swigart, Examiner
X. B. Williamson. of the Reclama-
ton Service, held at Ellensburg,
September 18th, 1909.
The conference was held at the
request of the representatives of
the E.llensburg High Line Canal
company for the purpose of dis
CusSing the company 5 claims to
water rights III Lake kaChcss pur-
suant to an appropriation filed by
the company for the storage of
water in said lake for use on lands
in kittitas county, and for the fur
Their discussion of the feasibility of
the irrigation of these lands by the
government or by private enter
prise.
The representatives of the Re-
clamatiOn Service expressed the
opinion that the company had
gained no rights in Lake kaChess
by virtue of their filing, for the
following main reason: Because the
government by actual ownership
of all land bordering upon the lake
together with any land feasible for
damsite purposes, and by begin
ming the work of surveys and con
struction and continuing the same
in good faith had acquired superior
and prior rights in this lake to the
extent of its necessities, thereby
preCluding the acquisition of any
rights in this lake for storage pur-
poses by any company at the pres
ent time
The representative of the Re
clamation Service further stated
that no legal method was known to
them whereby the Ellensburg High
Line canal company could be al
lowed to acquire or perfect any
rights in this lake which would be
consistent with government control
of the reservoir. In other words,
that in order to allow the Ellens
burg High Line Canal company to
acquire rights in Lake kaChess 1t
would be necessary for the govern
ment to open this lake to general
appropriation, surrendering con

, troll entirely and allowing any pri-
vate enterprise an equal chance
with the Ellensburg High Line
Canal company.
The representatives of the Re-
Clamation Service further stated as
their opinion that owing to the
fact that the Withdrawals of water
of the Yakima watershed had been
made expressly for the purpose of
enabling the United States to irri-
gate certain lands in the Yakima
valley and since the records of the
land commissioner s Office showed
that the United States had express
" named lands within the kittias
valley as being intended to be irri-
gated by use of the water to be
thus appropriated, the United
States was at the present time on
record and morally bound either to
ultimately irrigate the lands in Kit
ttaS county which should be found
susceptible of irrigation or in the
event of the impossibility of this
course to provide or release suffi
Cient of the water acquired under
the state act of March 4, 1905, to
allow the irrigation of these lands
by private enterprise.
The representatives of the canal
company accepted the above opin-
ions as being valid and stated their
position as follows:
That their only desire was to
procure the irrigation of the lands
in the kittitas valley at the earli-
est practicable date; that they pre-
fcrred that the Kittitas project
should be constructed by the Re-
clamation service but in the event
that on account of lack of funds or
on account of any other reasons the
construction of this project by the
government was to be indefinitely
postponed they desired to construct
the project themselves upon the
most practicable scheme; that in
order to finance the matter it would
be necessary to show that the COM
pany had valid water right and
for this purpose they had attempted
to acquire certain rights which
would enable the government to
recognize rights to water as vested
in them at such time; that they be-
leved, however, the Reclamation
Service should maintain control of
the water right situation in the
valley, and should particularly
maintain, control and operate any
reservoirs constructed at the larger
lakes, and asked if any scheme
could be suggested within the re-
clamation act which would accom-
plish this purpose and still enable
them to finance the building of the
diversion and delivery works of the
kittitas project.
