ben BOLT WILL PLEAD
MILLIONS WATER CASE
Twin Cities of East End to
Ask State for Readjust-
ment of Irrigation.
fEast oregonian specIal. }

MILTON, July 2S.-To secure from
the state water commission re-
adjustment of certain water rights and
regulations as they refer to the Milton
Freewater district, meeting of pro-
minent fruit growers was held here
Friday at which time District Water
Master Perry of Pendletoh was in at
attendance. II was decided to send
representative from here to Salem
to take up this question direct with
the commission. Ben Bolt, well
known fruit man has been selected to
represent the local case before the
State commission next week.
The present action in this connec-
tion has been made necessary because
of an Unprecedented shortage of wa
ter this year, which according to pio-
neer residents has not been so acute
for 80 years. Aside from the fact that
the Walla Walla river from which all
canals and laterals come. is lower than
IL has been for many years, il is re-
ported that not a few wells are giving
out. Already the damage to many or
chards throughout the valley is esti-
mated at hundreds of dollars and un-
less some redress is given either from
early rains or a different distribution
the damage VIII De mucn heavier.
One of the things to be asked from
the state water board is that in cases
of shortage as at present a more rea-
sonable distribution of the water be
made. A case in point is that of one
man who is allowed by court decree
in the Elan cases decided several
years ago. more than 40 inches of wa
ter. As it happens this man is said
to have no orchard and does not need
one half of this amount. Nevertheless !
he desires 1t all and because it is his |
by court decree is going to take it. /!
Local fruit growers believe that in this /
case those whose orchards are suffer-
ing should be entitled to what water
is not actually used by the user above /,
to.
Another object Mr.. Bolt will seek |
when in Salem is to have the Milton |
Freewater country created into a |
seperate irrigation district from the l
rest of the country and the appoint
ment of w. w. Roeder. now only |
deputy water master made permanent /
and distinct from the present county |
water masters office.
