threats of immediate shooting.
PRESIDENT GEORGES BI
DAULT, of France (the host
nation), addressing the 1500 dele
gates this morning, says: "The
hopes of plain men are turned to
ward us today."
Those are truthful words, and
Bldault seems to be a sincere' and
straightforward sort of person.
(He was a leader of the French
underground during the long
years of the German occupation,
and knows both hope and fear by
personal experience.)
But IM hopes of plain men
have been turned so often to
ward peace conferences, and so
VERY, VERY frequently these
hopes have been dashed.
ONLY a little more than a quar
ter of a century ago another
peace conference assembled at
Versailles palace In Paris (at
least we have changed palaces
this time).
The hopes of plain meii were
turned toward It. It made an un
easy peace that lasted a l'ttle
more than a couple of decadep
long enough for another genera
tion to grow up.
Then another and BIGGER war
blossomed.
000
A LITTLE better than a century
and a quarter ago, a confer
ence of nations assembled In
Vienna to make peace after the
bloody Napoleonic Interlude In
Europe. It was known as the Con
press of Vienna, and It was a
niess from the beginning. Little
of value was expected from H,
and NOTHING of value came
from It.
All the Congress of Vienna
could think of as a cure for all
that Napoleon had done to Eu
rope was to restore the dccadeit
Bourbon dynasty to the throne of
France.
It In doubtful If plain men
were greatly disappointed In the
Congress of Vienna. They knew
the gang that was assembled
there, and they expected from it
nothing more than they got.
0 0 0
AN'E good peace was signed at
3 Paris. It endrd the American
Revoluntlonary war. But In J783,
America was too insignificant to
attract the notice of world power
politics. A few plain men from
England and America simply Rot
together unobtrusively In Paris
and did the obviously sensible
thing.
Vast good to the world has f
stilted therefrom.
IT is an exceedingly good thin
that the power politicians of
Europe couldn't foresee In 1783
the rise of the United States of
America. They then looked upon
the American colonists as mere
ly a set of unwashed backwoods-
men, wholly beneath their notice.
So, after what was to us then
a- tremendously important war
we got off to a good peace.
Because we, grew too big, nod
became "important" In world
power polities, we haven't been so
fortunate In our later wars.
THE making of a Just pen.
that could practically outlaw
war in the world COULD be so
simple.
Ail that would bo needed would
be'.l sof or pliliii, honest, sincere
men following the simple pre
cept of the Golden Rule: "Do ye
unto others as ye would that oth
ers shall do unto you."

COPCO'S POWER PROGRAM
By CHARLES V. STANTON
The California Oregon Power Company has received final
authority for construction of its projected Toketee Falls
hydroelectric plant. This unit, first of six projected on the
North Umpqua River, is estimated to cost $3,200,000, includ
ing transmission lines to the Dixonville sub-station. Other
proposed developments include sites at Slide Creek, two in
the Lemola Falls area, and two on Clearwater River, a tribu
tary of the North Umpqua.
We have heard and read a great deal of controversial
opinion in recent months concerning hydroelectric develop
ment and its effect upon fish life. This issue has been par
ticularly emphasized in connection with additional high dams
proposed in the Columbia River, and new development
planned for the Santiam, McKenzie, Rogue and other rivers
in Oregon.
Many Douglas County conservationists have been greatly
perturbed by the Copco project, fearing it would adversely
affect the Umpqua River fishing resource.
Thorough investigation of Copco's plans was made by the
State Game Commission, sportsmen's organizations and nu
merous individuals. It is the general belief that unless opera
tive methods produce excessive fluctuations in water level
below the power plants, there can be no serious damage to
fish life.
Toketee Falls, 80 feet in height, is a natural barrier to fish
migration. All fishlife above the falls came about through
plantings. Thus, dams situated above the falls will not in
any manner interfere with fish migration.
Any dams located below
detrimental to the fishing
has at all times been the natural terminus of upstream fish
migration, any development
ing fish passage is concerned, will have no adverse effect.
Danger to fish life lies in the possibility of fluctuations in
water level due to power plant operations.
If, by periodically clo.sing dams to impound water in stor
age, spuwning beds are allowed to become exposed, through
lowered water level below the clams, or are subjected to
heavy washing when power plants are in operation, consid
erable damage is possible. It is expected, however, that the
plants will be in continuous operation and that the flow of
water, therefore, will be comparatively constant, thus elimi
nating danger of damage to spawning beds.
Copco proposes to erect a dam 45 feet in height and 350
feet in length above Toketee. This dam will thereby create
a cold water, mountain lake which should in itself be a most
valuable scenic and recreational resource. We anticipate that
this artificial lake will soon become well stocked with Rain
bow trout, which drop downstream from Diamond Lake, or
with other species of trout, now to be found in the upper
reaches of the river. Thus the development will, in ajioeas
urecoffset tlio change from the natural scenic beauty 'of the
falls area.
Water to the power house will be carried througti more
than a mile of wood stave pipe and concrete-lined tunnel to
develop 25,000 kilowatts. Additional installations are ex
pected to approximately double capacity of the first unit.
Power to be furnished from the generating units is most
critically' needed. Douglas County's industrial growth is de
manding more and more electric power. 'Present capacity is
entirely inadequate. Even the domestic supply is insufficient
to meet requirements. Copco now has on file industrial appli
cations which will necessitate almost doubling the amount
of power now being furnished the area.
. Altogether the Copco program, in our opinion, is admi
rably planned, in that it contemplates an ample supply of
power to meet local needs, while, at the same time, requiring
no sacrifice of scenic and recreational resources.

In its issue of July 29, the

burg's Umoqua Chiefs were in

defeat of Crescent City by Med

bearing on the league standings.
