Douglas Co. Wafer Resources Committee
Unveals Policy For Forthcoming Survey
The Douglas County Water Re
sources Advisory Committee Mon
day unvicled Its water policy for
the upcoming survey in which It
will coopcrato with the State Wa
ter Resources Board.
The seven members of the ex
ecutive board of the county-wide
committee met to study the polity
at the Douglas Counly Courthouse.
They found it good.
II Is preceded by preamble
complied by the President's Wa
ter Resources Policy Commission
in 1950. The preamble, according
to the county advisory board,
points up that use and control of
the waters of the Umpqua basin
must be planned basin-wide.
The county policy - making sub
committee pointed out that special
interest groups and sub-districts
of the basin are represented on
the advisory committee to assure
that all sides of the problem will
receive atlonlion. mil, it must ne
recognized, tho policymakers said,
that to assure maximum useful
ness of the water, provisions for
every legitimate use and for pro
tecting the watershed and stream
channel, and provisions lor con
serving water and for flood con
trol should he brought into one
general basin plan.
The nolicv men said all these
can be considered to have "legiti
mate claims " within the hasin:
Irrigation and drainage, naviga
tion and flood control, mainten
ance of underground water levels,
control of stream pollution and
soil erosion, generation of electric
power, protection of salmon and
other fish resources and provision
of implo domestic water supply.
But one cannot he developed with
out regard to tho others, the com
mittee said.
The policy submitted by the po
licy subcommittee and approved
by tho executive board Is divided
into two major parts, supply of
water and flood control.
The first is the most extensively
outlined. It calls for the county
water resources advisory commit
tee to work with the Oregon Water
Resources Board and all other
agencies to plan and prepare pro
grams to assure ground and sur
face water in adequate quantity
and quality for: (1) Municipal,
domestic and livestock use; (2)
protection and propagation of fish
and other aquatic life; (3) irriga
tion; (4) Industry; ( 5) recreation;
BIRTHS
i
(6) other uses in accordinance
wilh Oregon laws and the Water
Resources Act.
The policy says these ends may
be attained this way:
1. By establishing minimum
flows that should be maintained
in all streams to dilute sewage
and industrial wastes, safeguard
fiublic health, maintain aquatic
ife. .
2. By setting minimum stand
ards of water quality that must
be maintained in all streams to
protect public health and aquatic
me ana to serve all lorsceabie
useful needs.
3. By encouraging protection and
mprovement of watersheds and
reduction of wathershed abuse. ,
4. By encouraging effective con
trol of pollution and sedimentation.
S. Bv giving full consideration to
the need for keeping free of anv
obstructions an streams that are
used for spawning by trout and
anadromous fish. (Those which as
cend rivers from the sea season
ally). 6. By planning for water stor
age to augment supplies when
needed.
The second major section of the
policy calls for continual planning
for flood control.
Members of the policy subcom
mittee were: Chairman Curtis T.
Beecher, Bernard Young, J. Ro
land Parker and G. L. Hayes.

He had several inings to say
about his political future this year.
He said the response to his can
didacy had been "pretty good"
in the areas of tne state ne nas
visited.
He also said he intended to "see
as many people as possible this
summer." He laughingly said he
thought he had found the key to
election to the governor's office.
He said former Gov. Douglas Mc
Kay had been chairman of t h o
Roads and Highways in the state
senate. McKay had then been fol
lowed by ex-Gov. Paul Patterson,
who in turn was followed ny smun.
When asked by one reporter if
he was surprised at Walter Nor-

ernor's race, he said he was sur
prised when the U. S. representa
tive filed "so auicklv" and "just
as surprised" when he withdrew.
He also had a comment on an
other political figure, Al Richard
son of Slayton, who has announced
his candidacy for state treasurer.
Richardson had charged that state
institutions were guilty of graft
and mismanagement. Smith called
the charges politics which can be
regarded as "highly libelous."

NLRB Rules Against
Firchau Bros. Logging
WASHINGTON Wl The Nation
al Labor Relations Board has ruled
against the Firchau Bros. Logging
Co. of Reedsport in a labor dispute
with the international wooaworx
ers of America.
The NLRB Monday dismissed un
fair labor charges the logging com
pany had filed against tne union.
The company contended that the
Woodworkers and a union agent
William Harris, had induced em
ployes of the Long - Bell Lum
ber Co. in Reedsport not to process
Firchau logs delivered to the mill.
Union members voted not to
handle the logs after the union
failed to organize the Firchau od
eration and declared logs from t" t
firm "unfair." This was permitt.'d
under the "hot cargo" clause of
the 1WA contract with Long-Bell.
After a hearing trial examiner
Howard Meyers issued a prelim
inary decision last June that Fir
chau's charges had not been prov
en. The NLRB reviewed the case
and upheld the earlier finding.

was estimated 750 million dollars
would be necessary to complete
the modernisation. "We will
always be three to five years be
hind," he concluded, because of
technological advances in highway
vehicles.
Oregon Liquor Control Commis
sion "I have found nothing se
riously wrong with OLCC manage
ment." Taxes This will be one of
the issues of the state campaign,
he said. I would oppose any tax
which did not affect income. If i
sales tax is adopted, relief. Smith
thinks, should go to those with in
comes under $5,000. He also re
lated that he hopes some income
tax relief wiH come, but he cannot
say what the 1957 Legislature will
do on the matter of taxes. (He
had previously been quoted in
Prineville of saying he expected
to see passage of a sales tax in
the next Legislature.)
About the name Elmo He was
the fourth of nine children, and at
his birth, hi-s mother named him
Elmo to help him "escape utter
obscurity."

concluded.
