Wa ter Resources Board was a firm barker Tuesday of maximum de velooment of the Snake River, calling on Concress to pay for a study of a high Pleasant Valley; dam. ; It said it would not past on applications of Idaho Power to. for slate licenses fur Brownlee, I Oxbow and Little Hells Canyon j dams, until the Corps of Engi neers' revision of the 308 report, on Columbia basin development, j is completed. I It called on the Federal Power Commission to suspend licenses already granted to Idaho Power which would interfere with maxi mum development of a high Pleasant Valley dam. All Possible Dams The resources board called on the Army engineers to include in its 308 study all possible combina tions of dams in the middle reach of the Snake "without re gard to Federal Power Commis sion licenses and fish passage problems." The board, an agency of the Oregon state government, said in its Monday meeting, that the mid dle Snake should be a fish sanc tuary until 1965. The years until then should be spent finding a way to get fish over high dams. It cautioned, though, that ulti mately fish survival might not be the important factor, but that rather power' and flood control might be found the essential uses for full development. Its own studies, the Water Re sources Board said, show that the very best power and flood con trol program would be had through a high Hells Canyon and a high Mountain Sheep dam, plus Crevice, Freedom and Lower Canyon. Dams Called Poorest And the poorest of seven com binations studied, it said, are the three Idaho Power dams plus low Pleasant Valley, low Mountain Sheep. Crevice, Lower Canyon and F'reedom. It said, though, that its studies Elaine Soule Is Found Sane REDWOOD CITY, Calif. Suzanne Elaine Soule, found sane by the same jury which convict ed her of second-degree murder in the slaying of her roommate, w ill be sentenced Feb. 10. Her conviction carries a five vear to life sentence. The actual term is set by the State Adult Authority. Superior Court Judge Frank Blum said it the end of the sanity trial Monday he will recommend she be transferred from Corona State Prison for Women to a state mental hospital for extensive psy chiatric treatment. , The sad-faced 20-year-old for mer tvoist from Freeoort.

Stumboi Granted Mer $125 For Highway Strip (Continued from Pag 1) his attorney ran into th first of a brief series of roadblocks which 1 resulted in the liny monetary award given by the jury. An objection by a commission , attorney to Stumbo's telling what action ha took in 1956 when he i made the discovery wa. sustained by Judge Wimberly. Another sus tained objection kept him from saying if he had subdivided the strip. At this point. Judge Wimberly mad a ruling which broke the back of the Stumtio'a case. Me ruled that the fair cash market value of the strip was it. worth at the time the Highway Commission took possession Oct. 1, 1946. Holme, made an offer of proof by testimony that the value should be set as of the tune the condemna tion suit was filed on Nov. 28, 1956. Statement Net Allowed If this had been allowed. Holmes hoped to show that the Stum bos subdivided their land into two-1 Inch tquares which were .old for 12 per copy with a handsome deed going to the purchaser, it was by j figuring the land at this rate that Miimbo'i lawyer, hoped to ei-! tahhsh that the strip, through such noveltv sales, was worth -'M1.2T4. Judge Wimberly rejected the of fer of proof and the defense rested Its case. Commission attorney Fred Mor gan called two witnesses, each a real estate broker and appraiser who had appraised the land for the tale. James A. Rodman Jr . Fugrne. .aid he set the fair cash fnarket value as of Oct 1. 1946 at $125 Joe Dent of Roseburg had a lower figure, 10.

Second best combination, again without considering cost to bene fit, the board listed as high Hells Canyon, low Pleasant Valley, low Mountain Sheep, Crevice, Free dom and Lower Canyon. The Federal Power Commission recently refused to approve a pri-j vate utility proposal for construe-1 tion of low Pleasant Valley and ; low Mountain Sheep. A high Plea-1 sant Valley dam is expected to ' get federal endorsement but thus , far no private utility has pro-1 posed It nor has it been incor-; porated into an approval federal 1 construction program. While middle Snake River po- j tentials are studied, the board said, construction should be push ed on lower Snake dams and John Day Dam on the Columbia. Motor Pool Being Prepared For Company I Construction aimed at furnih ing Company I, 415th Infantrv, Regiment (L'SARl, Roseburg. with motor pool facilities began Mon-! day at an unused Veterans Ad-, ministration building on the VA Hospital grounds off Harvard Av-t enue. ' Contractors for the job, James and Stritzke Construction Co.,i Roseburg. have set April IS as a completion date for the proiect. No figures on cost of the project are available. The motor pool will be used to house vehicles used bv members of the local army reserve rom-j pany. When finished, the building' will have facilities for about four trucks. Meanwhile, the Department of the Army announced Monday that it has requested transfer to the army of the 3 fi8 acres of surplus land on which the present reserve headquarters and future motor pool, are located. I U. S. Rep. Charles O. Porter, who announced the army move. 1 said the land fronts 400 feet of the west side of the VA road off Harv-' ard Avenue. The army seeks the 1 land for a "reserve training cen- j ter site." said Porter. The army has used the hind i since the VA issued a permit for! its use in April, 1935. Court Street Sanitary Sewer Hearing Reset (Continued from Page 1) chased the property with the un derstanding that it was "clear" of uch expenses. A new five-year franchise pre sented by Wet Coast Airlines for operation of Roseburg Airport was adopted by the council. The chief change from the old franchise is a new leasing figure of $75 a month, compared to the old figure of 2 per cent of income on every thing except mail. The council announced a reso lution to advertise for bids on sec tion two of the interceptor sewer line, and set March 10 as the date the bids will be opened. Council members agreed to put off action on licensing of coin-operated shufflchoard machines until Sunset Automatic Music Co., which voiced opposition to the regular city fee of $100 per year per ma chine during the last council ses skn, submits the information re quested at that time by the coun cil. Proposal Gets Tabled After an explanation of the state unemployment compensation for city employes program by Citv Attorney Paul Geddes, the council tabled the proposal on grounds the program would be impractical and would rarely be put into effect lo cally Gcddc. said the state law pro vides that cities regularly reim burse the state for unemployment compensation actually psid out to their employes. At the county's request, the coun cil approved a proposed county move which would make an area south of Harvard Avenue between the highway and Corey Street and south of Military Avenue between the highway and the river part of Laurelwood Ward. The county is considering the ac tion because of complaints by res idents of the area that Ihey must travel all the way to Fullerton School to vote instead of being al lowed to vote at the high schwl Several bids for tne contract to furnish the city with a new fire engine were opened but the coun cil chose to turn the bids over to the finance committee for tabula tion and consideration and act on the matter at the next session Pennsylvania Grain and Salt Co was awarded the contract to furnish the city with chlorine for the coming vear The firm's bid wa. 12' rents per gallon.
