POWER FROM PELTON Power production on the Columbia river where projects have multi-purpose values can be undertaken only by the fed eral authority. This is so because only the federal authority, in making such investments, can charge off the costs of the benefits secured for such interests as navigation and flood control. Private company power development can be carried out only where power is the sole product. It is, of course, the income received from the sale of such power that carries the whole investment. The Deschutes river offers one'of the few opportunities in the region served by the Pacific northwest power pool for private utility development. The Pelton site on the Deschutes, having been studied, tested and diamond drilled over a long period of years is, as it were, a "natural" for immediate pri vate development. The northwest power supply situation be ing in the highest degree critical and there being no adequate relief in sight for several years the private utilities in the pool have taken the obvious course in proposing construction at the Pelton site. They are thereby undertaking to meet the obligation that is theirs as utilities in the service of the public. Placed as the Pelton site is alongside the area now develop ing as one of Oregon's finest agricultural sections its product, if the program is consummated, will help to meet the demand that is bound to grow. As a participant in the Pacific north west power pool the Felton plant will, of course, share its product but, certainly, every power user in Jefferson county and to the south willjbenefit. The Pelton site is on the Deschutes below the mouth of the Metolius. Such dam as is proposed can hardly fail to affect the fish life in the two rivers. The Metolius has always been a salmon water and last year the fish commission completed and began to operate a salmon hatchery on the river just up stream from Camp Sherman. The game commission, also, has a new hatchery on the Metolius at Wizard falls. We assume that the Wizard falls operation will not be affected by a dam at the Pelton site. This is a rearing under taking and the young fish will be taken away for planting in many other streams than the Metolius. With the salmon hatch ery the case is different. Its product goes into the river and in due course survivors return to perform their part in carry ing on the race. Perhaps a ladder, as at lionneville, will per mit their passage. Perhaps the dam will be too high to make the ascent possible even with the best of ladders. Announce ment of the intention to develop a salmon hatchery below the dam suggests the latter to be the case. Before the announcement of this proposed power develop ment had been made it had been reported in the news that a bill was to be introduced at Salem forbidding further dam construction on the Deschutes, its proponents, the commer cial fishing interests, will now fight the harder, for the measure. On the other hand there will be eager support for the Pelton power development as offering a comparatively speedy means of providing badly needed kilowatts. Whether sports fishing interests will take sides or remain neutral re mains to be seen. ' ,' i J A good many years ago a reclamation bureau hoard studied the Deschutes with respect to possible conflicts between irri gation and power and out of its report came the proposal that the upper Deschutes be dedicated to irrigation and the lower river to power. The former proposal is now in effect. As to the latter this issue of the salmon, not tnkeri into account be fore, now enters to complicate the situation. Faced with the necessity of taking sides central Oregon, it seems to us, must support the power proposal. The region's agricultural development, limited by the available water sup ply, approaches its peak so far as acreage is concerned. Further progress in the region must rely on industry based on power. Pelton offers the power potential.

PROTEST ANUMNG RULING To (he Editor: Afiaiii our stale name commis sion is not abiding hy the thoughts of the majority of sportsmen in Deschutes, Jeffer son anil (Took counties. We feel that to discontinue the use of salmon eggs, cluster and single, is the same as telling hun dreds of women, kids and older men thai you just can't fish un less you fish like we want you to. We believe it is lime a stop is put to these crazy rulings. Lei us ask a o,uesiion: Is it any worse to calch a fish on a salmon egg than a worm? Is it any worse lo still fish with salmon eggs than to drag a plow-shear through the water? Wo think not.

Diaper, Jr., tells a story about having once invited a Big Four economic directorate on Germany to take a trip with him to the French rlviera, to get better acquainted, fn the party were French finan cial expert M. Sergeant, British Sir Percy Mills, Russian generals bhuuolln and Zorin. r lying Horn Berlin to Nice, France, General Zorin, through interpreters, taught the members of this four power brass how to play Russian 21. When the good-will trip start ed, all the officials had their pock ets stuffed with German marks. Before they landed, Zorin had it all. "He was then the capitalist," says General Draper, "and we were the communists. The trip was a great success. We came back the best of friends. For near ly a year we thought that in Ger many we could clear the way lor world peace." There's a national shortage of veterinarians, among other things, and department of agriculture and civil service commission are trying to step up the supply by holding open examinations for all qualified applicants. Vets are wanted as meat inspectors, for research in bureau nf animal in dustry and for livestock disease control -particularly for foot and mouth Infested areas in Mexico. Incidentally. Dr. Kudolph Snyder, who was retired on Jan. 1 after 41 years as a government veteri narian, once had the difficult as signment of vaccinating all the wild buffalo in Yellowstone Na tional park, to prevent the government-protected bison herds from being wiped out by n strange blood disease. Add curious fuels about this last election:' In the great mid western farm bell, with only a couple of i'.'ssible exceptions. Dewey carried Iho wheat states while" Truman carried the corn slales. In the Dewey column were Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Michigan and Indiana. In the Truman col umn were Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Ok lahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri. Truman also carried Texas, Wisconsin and Minnesota, which probably belong in the wheat state category. Indiana, which went for Dewey, may also be considered more of a corn state than a wheat state. But the point which political experts are trying to make out of this observation is that it was the 8f)ih congress action in cutting down on U. S. commodity credit corporation corn storage facilities which turned the corn-belt farm ers against the republicans. An air force officer with 20 years' service was recently order ed to Germany to check up on recruits he had trained for over seas duty. He writes back this report after a month's observa tion: "German civilians employed on the post here don't think much of us, I fear. Most of them speak enough English lo get by. But in our contacts with thorn we detect a certain cold reserve, a feeling of resentment and, at times, of actual contempt.

Nichols (United 1'ruM Sutt CorrwpondenO Washington, Jan. 21 iui The little guy who elected the little guy from Missouri was conspic uous by his presence today. He was outnumbered by the near-great and want-to-be-great at the inauguration of Harry S. Tru man. But plain Joe Citizen was about and you could hear him holler. The coat-tail hangers were locked up with a jug of 100-proof corn squeezins in the best hotels. But the common folks were where you'd expect to find 'em. Out there in the tourist cabins or other out of the way places, or in the line of march. They were kind of laughing at the inaugural committee which told the people weeks ago that a man and his woman couldn't find a place to sleep Inauguration week. They pointed at the early editions of- the paper which screamed in big type "20,000 rooms available here.' Actually that more or less sum med it up. There were literally thousands of beds that weren t slept in including many in some f our best hotels. I he inaugural committee too late announced that it could take care of 20,000 more if necessary. The loud speaker system in front of the White house blared all afternoon yesterday that all tourists w-ould be taken care oi it they would get in touch with the inaugural, housing committee. But Joe, the voter and his lady, paid little heed. i he ones wno were lucky enough to get tickets attended the "gala" at the national guard armory last night. Those who didn't, bought late papers and read about President I ruman signing the bill that will raise his pay Xrom $75,000 to $100,000 year. 'That would be nice," comment ed Harold S. Bird, of Houston, Tex. The joint jumped in the capital last night, but it didn't jump as "high as the committee thought it would. Hotel lobbies were jammed like they would be for a state fair or a big football game, but folks weren't spending the dough everybody expected. '1 he guy who estimated people would dump $37,000,000 into merchants' laps was a little worried. Maybe the fellow will get well today when the rest of the crowd gels here. Three of the nicest among the little guys came from the Knox ville, Tenn., area. They were Bob Franker, Al Graves and Ronnie Curran.
