MERITED RECOGNITION
POLIO CAN ENTER YOUR HOME !
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Work done by John C. Doyle, vice-president and general
manager of The California Oregon Power Company, has
earned for him the title of Oregon's outHtanding engineer
for 1951. The award was made by the Professional Engi
neers of Oregon. Special mention was made of his achieve
ments in connection with Copco's hydroelectric power de
velopment on the North Umpqua River.
Unless a person has inspected the North Umpqua power
project, it is difficult to envision the engineering problems
involved. Had the same project been undertaken by the
federal government it doubtless would have cost many mil
lions more while producing little or no more power.
Copco's Toketee project is so favorable to the style of the
federal agencies we are surprised it wasn't taken over by
the Army Engineers or Bureau of Reclamation. It would
lend itself so perfectly to the type of mammoth structure
the government likes that Boyle's simple, practical and
minimum-expense development seems almost like sacrilege.
The North Umpqua River in the Toketee area has cut a
deep gorge through solid rock. Walls of the canyon are al
most perpendicular, varying from 800 to 1200 feet from
water level to the top of the canyon. Had the government
taken over, we can be almost positive a dam around 1,000
feet in height would have been built, rather than the puny
little diversion structures Boyle has engineered.
Road Wat Key Achievement
Building a road to provide access to the project site was
one of Boyle's first and biggest achievements.
A number of years ago the Southern Pacific Company
was flirting with the idea of electrifying its railroad in Ore
gon. It made an extensive survey of the hydroelectrie pos
sibilities of the Toketee region. Its engineers could find no
way to get access to the river at that point and gave it up
as an impossible job.
Boyle was tempted to give up a few times, but finally
succeeded in hanging a zigzag road on the face of the prec
ipice. The first time we went over it, while it was still
under construction, we're frank to admit we had some ap
prehension. It has now been widened and improved, how
ever, until it may be negotiated with safety. A road also
has been pushed along the river route to a junction with the
North Umpqua road. But Boylo has always been proud
and rightly so of that route dowh the face of the canyon
wall.
Under his direction, Toketee and Slido Creek nower
plants have been placed in operation with generating capa
city of 45,000 kw and 18,000 kw, respectively. This year
will see completion of Soda Springs and Fish Creek plants
generating 11,000 kw and 18,000 kw, respectively. Two
plants on Clearwater River will start this year, one to gen
erate 15,000 kw and the other. 2(i,000 kw. They are expected
to be producing power in 1953. Two stations at Lemola
Falls, each with capacity of 30,000 kw, are in the prelimin
ary stage.
Sawmill Wat Boyle's Pride
The layman, looking at the North Umpqua power proj
ect, is amazed by the engineering achievements. It seems
beyond belief that the massive steel and concrete struc
tures could have been erected in such a remote and difficult
site. But they are there for all to see.
Boyle, however, is not at all impressed by the work he
has accomplished. It was a job of engineering the type
of job he has been tackling since he graduated from Univer
sity of California in 1910, starting his work the following
year with. Copco's predecessor, the Siskiyou Electric Power
and Light Company.
When wo first visited the Toketee project in its early
stages, Boyle's delight was in a little sawmill, packed in oil
trucks, horseback ami human backs. With this mill he-was
cutt-'ng the timbers and boards needed for his buildings,
bridges and other struires.
The sawmill has since been enlarged. From trees re
moved for road right of way, reservoirs, etc, the mill has
produced all of tho lumber the project could utilize and has
accumulated a large supply for future needs.
Tho fact that he was able to conserve and utilize the
limber removed to make way for his project appeared to
please Boyle more than his achievements in overcoming al
most impossible difficulties in harnessing the water to sup
ply electric power so critically needed by the area.
One need only look at the Toketee project to measure the
engineering ability and intensely human and lovable per
sonality of John Boyle. Without his many other achieve
ments in hydroelectric development in Southern Oregon and
Northern California, the North Umpqua project is enough
to merit the recognition he has received from his profes
sional associates.
We add our own congratulations to the many he has
already received. He certainly has earned the honor.

2-Yeor Dispute Over

Emergency Board's recommended
pay hikes.
the terms substantially what
the carriers had offered had beer,
turned down earlier by the Engi
neers and Conductors Union. The
firemen had accused board mem
bers of bias in favor of the rail
roads and had refused to partici
pate in the board's hearings.
Democrats were charged with
"blundering and plundering" in
Washington: of running an admin
istration "which includes tbe larg
est collection of men of low prin
ciple in high places since July 4,
1776," and of employing more pub
lic relations and press men on the
public payroll than there aro men
in the air force in Korea. Also,
promises were made to "throw
out those mismanaged missouri
messmates now undermining our
government."
President Truman was described !
as a past master of political tech
niques who allows "thieving tax
collectors, incluence peddlers and
mink coalers" to fatten off Kie
public till.
Republicans were also Informed
that the party alone cannot elect
a president of the United States.
Statistics reveal that if every reg
istered Republican voted for the
Republican candidate he would get
only 31 per cent of the vote. Thus,
it was pointed out, if a Republi
can is to win, the independent and
young voters must be persuaded
that the G.O.P. is best for the
nation.
Demands were made fiat the
Republicans include a gold plank
in their party platform for the pur
pose of anchoring the deflated
American dollar and halting infla
tion. ,
Another suggested plank Is a
voluntary profit-sharing plan for
labor and industry, with favorable
tax rates for corporations taking
part in profit-sharing plans with
their workers.
T.ie Administration's foreign po
licy was described as semi-isolationist
and defensive, with a con
sequent loss of respect for the
(.American flag and American in-
lluence abroad.
All of the prominent Republi
cans present demanded that the
G.O.P. statement of policy con
tain a demand and a promise to
rid the government in Washington
of Communist influence, although
Senator Henry Cabot Lodse Jr.,
who spoke on behalf of General
Dwight D. Eisenhower, added "if
Kiere are any (Communists)
there." Other speakers displayed
much less skepticism.
On the issue of domination of
the Republican party by politicians
from the eastern seaboard section,
national committeemen were re
peatedly warned that voters would
not support a campaign similar
to the one In 19-18. The chief tar
get was Governor Thomas E. Dew
ey of New York, with supporters
of Senator Rohert A. Taft openly
and vigorously decrying Dewey's
Infuence over foe Eisenhower
campaign.
Even Harold Stassen, an oper.
candidate described in some
G.O.P. quarters as a stalking horse
for Eisenhower, admitted that the
Republicans cannot survive if the
party continues to be labeled the
capitol representatives of big busi
ness. which is concentrated in the
Dewey baliwick.
Stassen called for a return to
principles that earned the G.O.P.
the label of foe parly of the people,
of labor and farmer and youth.
This is in accord with Taft's views.
which were pointed out repeatedly
in San Francisco. His backers In
sisted that the senator's re-election
victory in Ohio in 1950 demon-1
strated the success of this broad
appeal to the wters.
In public mere was little talk of
possible vice presidential candi
dates for the G.O.P. privately,
however, in the hotel suites re
served for prominent politicans.
the topic was talked over at leng
Stassen and Warren led the list
of likely possibilities, since neither
one is conceded much of a chance
for first place. The consensus was
that neit'.ier Taft nor Eisenhower
would object (o either one as a
running mate. At least neither
Warren nor Stassen made anybody
mad at San Francisco, because
the pressure on national commit
teemen come from the Taft or
Eisenhower headquarters.
At the wind-up of the session it
was generally agreed that Taft
had t'.ie backing of about 90 per
cent of the national committee
men, but this did not mean that
the Eisenhower forces - were not
working on political leaders. And
it was plain that the practical
politicians who will direct the no
mination in Chicago in July want
to sec a wider cut of t5ie general's
political coat before abandoning
Taft or anyone else.

Wheat Accord ,
Extension Aim
Of United States
WASHINGTON l-The Truman
administration is campaigning for

County Response
To X-Ray Service
"Fairly Good"
Response to the county-wide tu
berculosis chest X-ray program
has been "very good" In some
places and "a bit discouraging in
others." Deputy Sheriff Ira Byrd,
head of the program, said Sun
day. But as a whole, he said, the
program Is progressing "fairly
good."
Byrd was Interviewed by Bob
Grant in KRNR'i "This Town Is
Yours" series Sunday.
So far the present X-ray pro
gram had drawn more response
than during previous surveys
the officer said.
The free X-ray service will con
tinue in the county through Feb
16.
Byrd explained that the X-ray
method is "one of the best single
methods of discovering tubercu
losis." The disease is a conta-
geous type and symptoms don't
show up during ist early stages,
he said.
In all, the process of making
tne x-ray takes about two min
utes. Registratints are asked to re
move coats and any metallic
items such as jewelry. They then
register and step up to the ma
chine and in 20 seconds it's all
over, the deputy . said.
The X-rays are taken on small
films. Larger X-rays are taken
later of all whose films show an
indication of disease or are questionable.
After the second X-ray is taken
and the results indicate disease,
the subjects are advised on what
to do, Byrd declared.
Sponsoring the local drive are
the following county organisations:
Health Department, Medical So
ciety. Tuberculosis and Health As
sociation, Cancer Society, Health
Department, Medical Society and
Health Association.
The X-rays, taken by mobile
units operating throughout the
county also can turn up signs of
cancer and heart conditions, Byrd
said.
it uses a system of export and I ernment mak up the difference

minimum prices.
Forty-two importing and four ex
porting countries participate. The
U S. is the largest exporter.
Because wheat prices in this
country have been above world
market prices set by the pact, it
has cost the U.S Treasury more
than 400 million dollars in subsi
dies to supply its share of the grain.
Subsidies Are Costly
The cost probably will exceed 600
million dollars by the time the
four-year agreement expires in
July. 1953
When U.S. prices are above pric
es set by the agreement, the gov-
port
ers.
At present, the subsidy averages
about 65 cents a bushel, or about a
fourth of the price of the gram.
Plans for drafting an extension
of the agreement will be made soon
by an international council which
administers the program.
