have your letter of the 28th inst,
relative to survey of water shed OF
Little Camas and Cat creeks in con-
nection with Camas and Long Tom
reservoirs. Mr.. Hamilton has given
me your conversation with him.
/ will be glad to assist you in any
way possible. With reference to the
survey of the water shed, have
number of things started which will
be necessary to complete before
will be able to take up the survey.
VIII arrange to take up thiswork the
latter part of next week and will
advise you couple of days In ad-
vance of my leaving here.
Have handed the two petitions to
the Governor as you requested and
am returning the Governors letter

Doctor Carter McV. Tobey, Noun
tain Home. Dear sir
| have yours of the goth. There is
nothing that we want now, except
the service OF an engineer who will
secure for us an estimate Of the
amount of water that win be avail
able for the Long Tom and Little
Camas reservoirs. The securing of
this report should not be delayed.
While we have granted us, sixty
days, yet we should attend to it at
once, for the reason that when we
get our engineers report there may
be figures that we will need to fur
ther investigate. All that you say
in this letter as being admitted by
Mr.. Pugmire seems to me absolutely
true, but we don't need this now. At
the next hearing we must beprepared
to prove to the Commission the
amount OF water available for the
Mountain Home country. We have in
evidence the Mccoy figures as taken
for the last five years and we must
secure the area that would drain in
to each of these reservoirs, then it
would be simply matter of computa
ton. In other words, If find that
there are one hundred thousand
arces that drain into the Little Cam
as, and on eaci! acre, according to
McCoy's report there falls two feet
of water that would find its way into

have two hundred thousand acre feet

that the Government Engineer, and
perhaps other sources have made
such estimates and have records OF
