McCarthy Offers Retraction;
FTP
, A real battle is shaping up
over resource use in Lane Coun
ty. Involved is a proposal to lop
off 46,000 acres from the Three
Sisters Primitive Area, opening
that portion to logging. Another
controversy is developing over
the application of the Eugene
Water Board for permits looking
to constructing hydroelectric
dams on the tipper reaches 6f
the McKenzie River. Another po
tential source of argument is
Waldo Lake which lies along the
crest of the Cascade Mountains
in Southeastern Lane County.
Eastern Oregon irrigationists are
said to be casting eyes on this
lake as a possible reservoir for
water for irrigation..
The state convention of Izaak
Walton Leagues meeting in
Portland last week adopted
strong resolutions in opposition
to the Water Board development
of the McKenzie power sites, and
another resolution asking for de
lay in any decision on revising
the boundaries cl the Primitive
Area about Three Sisters. The
Eugene Izaak Walton League
wants the Forest Service to at
tach a restricted recreational con
trol to the Waldo Lake area and
the state convention concurred,
not without some protest from
Eastern Oregon delegates.
The first of the three which
will come to a head is the pro
posal to reduce the area reserved
as wilderness around the Three
Sisters. Outdoor clubs which
take a keen interest in preserv
ing the wilderness are becom
ing active in opposing a cut of
the magnitude which is suggest
ed. In particular they ask that
the boundary be fixed at the top
of the ridge on the western
side of.

At the same time the Wisconsin

McCarthy tried at one point to
get in a provision that , he could
