This has jdst been drawn up and will soon be acted on by the legislatures of the four states most concerned -Oregon, Washington. Idaho, and Montana. After two years of rocky discussion, 43 representa tives have agreed on a proposed compact “to facilitate and pro- 'mote" development of the natur al resources of the Columbia River Basin. Burning brightest now is a controversy over how to handle allocation of hydraelectric power I between the states. Criticism and praise of the proposed com pact pile high here. What the pact provides is a commission chosen from the I siaies that would not regulate Í but plan, oordinate, and recom mend action as to placement of dams and distribution of power generated, as well as the use of FOR OVER 60 YEARS OREGON MUTUAL other resources. This, it is as sumed, would bring the North INSURANCE COMPANY HAS BEEN SAV west nearer resource integration | and give guidance to Congress in i ING ITS POLICYHOLDERS 20 PER CENT any choice of federal power | sites. Yet what many opponents o f ! the compact want is a regional authority with teeth, run by he states. It would allocate hydro ¡ sites and plan generally with a view to the needs of the region as a whole. The question Is whether or not I the Columbia Compact goes far | enough when it stops short of delegating operational authority ' to a regionally controlled com- ] mission. As it stands, final authority still rests with the in dividual states. This, the argu-I ment goes, hops up water re sources behind state lines. One answer is that the com-1 I»act today is a cooperative ef fort, a meeting of minds, and no doubt the result of a prodi-1 I gious amount of compromise. To ask seven states, jealous of their! sovereignty, to go further in one ¡ great leap would probably be I asking the impossible. Any co- |operation over water in the West is encouraging. —The Christian Science Monitor. *7&¿ y *7Z/-.-Z Dr. L. W. GRIFFITH #,/ j p roof American is slave worker, Comrades. Is picture showing U. S.

It’s concentrated and granulated — but exytands many times when wetted. This means that a 70 lb. bag of HI-PRESS covers the same area as a big, awkward bale of regular peat moss. Thus, HI-PRESS is easier to handle, easier to store. And HI-PRESS can be applied with a fertilizer spreader or by hand. Because HI-PRESS is virtually dust free and because it may be applied with a spread er close to the ground, it stays out of your eyes; doesn't ruin fresh paint. Compressed granules of HI-PRESS don't blow away. Available in 5, 20, 50 and 70 lb. bags at all leading nurseries and garden supply stores. % Fire Insurance Rates Reduced CARL’S FARM & GARDEN SUPPLY Seeds • Feeds - Fertilizers • Garden and F arm Supplies Baby Chicks 1115 E.
