WATER BOARD REC
0RDS ARRIVE HERE

Findings and records Of the State
Water Board in an adjudication Of the
Hood River watershed arrived here last
week. The records. enclosed in a large
wooden shipping case and weighing
more than 80 pounds, were expressed to
County Clerk Shoemaker. On receipt
of the papers, circuit court takes juris
diction in the water adjudication. and
it is expected that Judge Wilson will
set an eally date for a hearing.
The case, originally before the cir
cult court through the case of the Ore
gon Lumber Co. versus the East Fork
Irrigation district, was reversed and
remanded by the Supreme Court five
year ago. The decision stipulated that
the State Water Board should first
secure data on all contested claims and
render findings before turning the case
back into the circuit court. The Water
Board has been engaged for four years
in it's task.
The Water Boards findings constitute
a victory for irrigation concerns, which
are granted the right of their maximum
filings and a reasonable time to develop
their plants to use all the water.
Receipt of the records may soon lead
to the construction of additional vaults
at the county court house. Clerk Shoe
maker says that fireproof vaults are
already comfortably crowded. The pa
pers sent here for confirmation in the
circuit court are very valuable, how
ever, and will have to be safeguarded.
