Opposition to klamath Lake Reclamation

A BILL in congress introduced by
n Raker of California and providing
for the drainage Of the Klamath Lake
region in California and Oregon with
a view to soldier settlement has stirred
up three-Sided controversy The ag-
ricultural department experts say
these lake bottoms and marshes would
become simply alkali flats. unfit for
cultivation. The former Klamath was
cut off from its water supply and
largely dried up last summer. The
agricultural department soil experts
say the dried-Out land is too alkali
for farming purposes. The govern
ment reclamation service undertook to
drain Il large area here several years
ago and abandoned the project as inn
practicable after an expenditure of
$2S3, 3,225. The United States biOlogi-
stock in the marshy lands is all that
the region will yield.
