Amber Light on HB 160 i When the committee hearing on HB 160 was held some time ago Chairman Mark Hatfield admonished the witnesses to stick to the bill and not to wander. Few of them adhered to his ad vice, however. Most of them launched into dis cussion of the Peltori Dam project on the Des thutes. Friends of ; this development favored enactment of the bill; foes of the dam opposed the bill. The hearing became largely a rehear sal of old arguments on this particular project. The Statesman has felt that the 3 best use which could be made of the waters of the Des chutes along this site would be for power gen eration. Weighing the possibilities for salmon propagation and for power the latter seemed to have greater economic value for the state. More over, it would be possible to have some salmon propagation even if dams were built, i This paper questions, though, the wisdom of this method of clearing the way for the dam.' There is certainly no assurance that P e 1 1 o n would be approved if the bill becomes law. The bill would ace almost certain referral to voters for one thing because the opposition has gener ated so much emotional steam. Amendments to protect present and future use of Deschutes waters for domestic, farm and reclamation uses probably satisfy upriyer resi dents; but the Oregonian makes a valid point in objecting to the provisions of the bill which give any power permit or license-holder" earance from conditions the fish and game commissions sow have power to impose. This paper does not feel that these commissions should have final say as to use of public waters. Bjr the same tok en it does not feel that the hydroelectric com mission or its permittee or licensee should have that final decision. - - , In fact this subject is so involved that the Assembly should go slow in changing the HE law just to clear the way, for Pelton Dam. This is general legislation, and the subject should be studied in its general rather than special, light. for rails than the year preceding, thanks to higher rates; but rail men complain that their return was only 4. per cent on total investment. High operating costs, high taxes, competition of other means of. transport haunt the days and nights of railroad executives; but in spite of dif ficulties they manage to give the country the finest railway service in the .world. No Tasty Morsel, Wayne . C L. Sulzberger of the New York Times writes from Abijan, Ivory Coast, French West Africa, of the "interesting constitutional ques tion posed in the case of Senator Victor Biaka Boda who disappeared in the jungle here: three years ago and may have been eaten by his con stituents . . . f I Some bones were found in the vicinity where Senator Biaka-Boda was last heard commenting upon the political scene . . . In this country there have been case! of sena tors eaten out by -their constituents, but so far as we know none has been eaten up. That big black pot Oregon Republicans keep boiling prob ably doesn't mean a thing. Many of his former supporters now make no bones about their feel ing about .our Senator Morse. , They have lost their taste for him completely and find a lot of his, pronouncements pretty hard to swallow. He jumped out of the frying pan into the fire when he blocked confirmation of the cabinet right off, and now they say he's burned to a crisp about some of the other administration appointments. On the other hand, Wayne has been in hot water so often that the boiling kettle would be no new experience for. him. And he is used to being the bone of contention, too. So it probably doesn't bother him a bit to hear all those cries of "Put something in the poj, boys." But we'd like to pass along Sulzberger's phil osophical reflection that you cannot have your ' Senator and eat him too. Railroad Earnings in 1952 , Railroads are turning in their earnings reports to the ICC for'1952.

The British make two effective points: (1) Unilateral repudiation sets a bad precedent which may be copied by other nations; and (2) repudiation is academic since came a big drop to Chesapeake and Ohio with $45 million. The eastern roads like Pennsylvania and New York Central which handle the biggest volume of traffic, have had hard work carrying forward much gross into net. The Pennsylvania had a net of $36.9 million and the NYC $24.7, the latter being - topped by the Baltimore and Ohio's $27.3 million. The year turned out better U.S. change of mind. About all that repudiation can accomplish is to satisfy those who have de nounced Yalta (often without knowing' much about its terms) and to give some encourage ment to peoples whom Russia has trampled on. Trading territory for Russia's aid was a mistake, but we can't rectify it just by passing a resolution. Henry Ford Throws His Weight Behind Move to Cut American Tariff Barriers By J.

They would nave to provide their own distrib uting system. Under the second plan the Reclamation Bureau would build the major works. Then individu als or groups or irrigation dis tricts could contract for the wa ter. The charge would have to be sufficient to cover operation and maintenance of the federal portion and retirement over a long term of the capital invest ment, without interest. - At present the Bureau is mak ing studies of possible pilot projects of soma 10,000 acres, and has selected , for investiga tion areas identified as tha East Long Tom, the Coburn, the Che halem and the Tualatin. If one or more of these is undertaken then tha results may be studied by tha Bureau and by farmers to decide whether to expand ir rigation under this plan. Development of this type would require a change in fed eral laws so the Bureau could enter into direct contracts. Pres ent state laws appear adequate. What Western Oregon farmers are afraid of is being saddled with heavy land obligations, such as wrecked many of tha early district ventures in reclamation. This contract plan avoids that, and landowners are not voted into a district against their will. Even so it will not be easy to convert Valley farmers to large scale undertakings. Land uses are diverse, farm sizes are varied,' Interest of land owners are mix ed. The terrain and soils of tha valley are not adapted for the usual flooding type of irrigation employed east of the mountains. The floor of the valley is irreg ular. Leveling would expose clays and gravels on the higher points whose fertility is low. Ex cept in particular sections over head irrigation would be re quired. In flat land sections like Southern Linn and Benton coun ties drainage would be nece sary for any heavy use of wa ter. Another question which would arise is the 160-acre limi tation on water, service. Some farmers prefer big ranches with a lot of grazing land and would not be willing -to scale down even if water is oflered. As time goes on and popula tion increases the pressure win be for greater production from the soiL Water and fertilizer in crease yields. So it seems only a question el time until farmers will- see a real advantage in using these stored waters. Mean time the studies can be made, cost estimates arrived at, and the leva! road opened. Ultimately the greatest value of these big dams may be from use of the stored waters for irrigation rather than mere ' prevention of floods or provision for hydroelectric gen eration. . At the time of the restorationt ceremony at Fort George in 1818, negotiations were in pro gress between diplomats of the United States and Great Britain over a number of controversial Issues. One subject of discussion was the location of fne north ern boundary of the United States between the Lake of tha Woods and the Rocky Moun tains. Without much difficulty It was agreed that the boundary should run along the forty. ninth parallel as far west as tha or Rocky Mountains; .But If Pap hasat e-et anv mind hardr. how ean ha have SO maxy things en it when I want hint ta read to rae?..."

It seems all one has to do Is get up soma wild scheme and make connec tions with the right people, and It goes over big. It this fluoridation Is so won derful (and I am not saying it is not) why do wa have to treat millions of gallons of water that are not taken . into one's sys tem? I can't see j what good it would do anyone's teeth for tha water poured down one's bath room fixtures or! on the lawn and garden; and I; cant see what good it would do my store teeth. It would seem to me there are cheaper ways of giving the right treatment. Just where are we headed for? We are telling every nation on earth how to run their business and if they are worse than we, God have pity on them . j B. C Miller i 1349 N. 18th St. Far more productive of diplo matic wrangling was the ques tion of a boundary west of the Rocky Mountains in the Pacific Northwest, where both nations had claims of equal validity, based on discovery, exploration, and settlement. The American Commissioners proposed that the line of the forty-ninth paral lel be continued west to the Pa cific. The British Commission er! countered with a proposal that the boundary should be along the forty-ninth parallel until it intersected the Colum bia River and then follow that stream to its mouth. The British were determined not to give up control of the Columbia River, which was so important to the fur trading activities of the Northwest Company, and the Americans were equally deter mined not to give up the right of the United States to the coun try drained by the Columbia. Concessions were offered by both sides to no avail. Finally, since neither side wished to break off negotiations without some sort of agreement,, a compromise was reached and a treaty was signed on October 20, 1818. The international boun dary was to run along the forty ninth parallel from the Lake of the Woods to tha Rocky Moun tains. West of the Rockies tha country claimed by either na tion was to bo "free and open to the citizens and subjects of the two nations for a period of ten years. The treaty was promptly ratified by both gov ernments. Thus the fixing of a ' boundary line west of the moun tains was postponed. But never after 1818 did the British assert any claim to the region South and East of the Columbia. Clip and paste in your history scrapbook.

Big question: Will the state legislature start beating the drums (oiL that is) for an investigation: into the gas-oil price increase? Electricity users who blew their thermostats when the 20 per cent electrical surcharge was slapped on, are now point ing out that the fuel oil price increase amounts to almost as much in some instances. Besides the electrical shock will last only until June but that gas-oil goose is probably here to stay. Reportedly as irritated as. anyone over the petroleum Increase are many local retailers who have to pass the blow along to their customers.

Statesman staffer, Jim Miller, has finally made the grade. He is mentioned in March True Detective in a yarn about the murder of Georgia Lang last Oct. near Roseburg.
