The Bonneviile Power Administra tion signed an agreement June 23 with the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation to allow construc tion of a high-voltage, double circuit By Catherine Siegner transmission line along a 16-mile cor ridor through the Reservation in Central Oregon. The right-of-way, for which BPA will pay the Tribes $4.5 million, will facilitate completion of a transmission grid that will tie in the plants being constructed at Hanford, in Washington, Boardman, in eastern Oregon, and the two planned nuclear facilities at Pebble Springs near Arlington, with the main BPA line in the Willamette Valley. Conservationists and wilderness advocates are urging the Canadian government to join in a cooperative ven ture which would create an Arctic Inter national Wildlife Range in northeast Alaska. The area along the Beaufort Sea and on both sides of the Alaska-Yukon bor der supports the annual migration of one of the last sizable barren-ground caribou herds to and from its calving grounds along the arctic seacoast. Canada's Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs, Hugh Faulkner, an nounced in January that Parks Canada was initiating consultations on a pro posed 5.2 million acre Yukon wilderness park adjacent to the Arctic Wildlife Range. Canadian action on the proposal would have implications for a section of the Alaska lands legislation before the U.S. Congress which currently desig nates a large portion of the Porcupine caribou calving area as a “special study area for oil and gas exploration. A petition that would simplify the pro cedure for forming Public Utility Districts (PUDs) was filed Monday, June 26, with the Secretary of State by the Public Power Coalition, a group including the Oregon State Grange, the Consumer Power League, the Oregon-Washington Farmer’s Union. The Coalition turned in 65,835 signa tures, which is thousands more than was necessary to place the measure before the voters in November. “We’re confident the measure will pass,” said Mildred Norman, secretary to the State Grangemaster, W.C. Harris. “We hope to have the same success in November that we had getting the signa tures.” Voters of Gilliam County in eastern Oregon may have a chance to vote on whether the proposed Pebble Springs nuclear plants should be built near Ar lington. An initiative petition has been submit ted by Bob Maginnis and McLaren Stinchfield, both of Condon, to the Gil liam County Clerk, that, if signed by 62 registered voters of Gilliam County, would put the following measure on the November ballot: “Initiative would prohibit the construc tion and operation of nuclear power plants in Gilliam County.” The legal effect of the measure, if passed, is in doubt because the Gilliam County Planning Commission has al ready granted a Conditional Use Permit for construction of the plants. Hearings are now underway in Portland before the state Energy Facility Siting Council on whether a construction permit from the state should be granted. f THE MOST EXPENSIVE | I PIECE OF EQUIPMENT I I IN OUR PROCESSING LAB I I IS THE WASTEBASKET!

Bridge names sought The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) would like sugges tions from the public on what to name the new bicycle bridge now being built over the Willamette River. The topic was brought up during the EWEB Board meeting Monday when EWEB Manager Keith Parks informed the board that the sugges tion had been made to name it “The Willy Knickerbocker Memorial Bridge.” The board will take suggestions from the public at its next meeting, July 10, at 7:30 p.m. in the EWEB building at 500 E. 4th. In other business, the board approved a project totalling $36,129 to extend electric and water service to the new Tadmor Subdivision north of Beltline Rd. and east of the Willamette River. The board also okayed a $336,200 expenditure to install capacitors at the Wiilakenzie and Weyerhaeuser substations to reduce line losses and increase efficiency in electric transmission.
