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.

WASHINGTON COLUMN

(NKA Wiuhiniitxui CorrwiKiiili-nt)
Washington (NEA) Army Un
dersecretary William H. 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.

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

down on U. S. commodity credit

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. Per

Washin go7 Scene
By Harman W. 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.
The kids are paper boys from
t h e Knoxvllle News-Sentinel,
