G. 0. P. Co. Leases
Government Canal

The Keno irrigation canal has been
leased by the government to the Cali
fornia'Oregon Power Company for a
period of ten years, according to a
copy of contract received at Klam-
ath Falls by R. e. Bradbury, a di-
rector of the Klamath Water Users
Association. The contract was signed
February "a, 1917, by Franklin X.
Lane, secretary of the interior, and
by Alex ]. Rosbcrough, vice-president
of the power company.
The lease of this canal which pro
vides that improvements may be
made by the power company, also
permits of the erection of dam at
the head Of Link river, II the COM
pany elects, within two years, comes
as distinct surprise to the board of
directors of the Water Users Associa-
tion, as the members had received
no intimation Of the lease until the
contract was received.
What the ultimate outcome OF the
deal and the purpose Of the govern
ment in leasing this canal, to which
the Water Users Association has con-
tributed some $4,000 for its upkeep
and maintenance alone, is informa-
tion which has not been conveyed to
the association.-Klamath Herald.

ing that the Cherrians expect to make
trip to southern Oregon late this

plans. Each year the Cherrians make
a trip to some part of the state, and
this year Ashland is to be the goal.
Secretary Frohbach replied telling
the Salemites of the July celebration
here and cordially inviting them to
come at that time, but also extending
an invitation to include Ashland II
the trip is not made until alter, and
remarking that probably more indi-

bach asked that lengthy advance no
tice be given of their coming so that
plans could be laid for something
we'll worth while for the visitors here.

The Nenana news. (Nenana, Alaska) 1916-1918, 1917-03-17

While the people of Nenana are
naturally concerned chiefly with
the railroad appropriation, the fail
ure of CONGRESS to provide funds
for the repair and construction of
wagon roads in Alaska is a matter
of grave concern throughout the
entire Territory. For if there are
not sufficient funds to carry on that
work during the coming season
the development of the country will
be greatly retarded. New districts
which are in need of transportation
facilities will be able to make little
progress without roads, 'and the
older districts will receive serious
setbacks as result Of the inability
of the Alaska Road commission to
make needed repairs to roads al
ready constructed. 1t is possible
for the work of several years to be
undone in a single season if funds
are not available for emergency
work during the spring and sum-
mer months,
There is too much uncertainty
regarding Alaska appropriations.
The federal government long ago
entered upon a policy of aiding the
development Of Alaska by building
post roads, but 1t has required con-
tinual effort on the part of North
eners to induce congress to appro-
pirate sufficient funds from year
to year to enable the road commits
