THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON
Post Grangers
Dislike Report
Made by Straus
Prlnevillo, April 6 Members of
the Post grange, all of whom are
land owners of the mid-Crooked
river area, along the main stem of
that stream around 25 miles south
of here, definitely expressed their
disapproval at a meeting Saturday
night of a recently announced re
port of Michael Straus, commis
sioner of the U. S. bureau of rec
lamation, to Senator Guy Cordon,
from whom residents of Crook
county received the Straus, report
last week.
The Post ranchers did tiot like
the implications of the Straus re
port, which indicates that the so
called Crooked river project, the
accomplishment of which has for
a decade and a nail Dcen tne ma
jor objective of leading citizens of
Crook county, who see, in such de
velopment through application of
adequate irrigation the stabiliza
tion of agricultural enterprise in
this Central Oregon county, does
not consider applying any of the
stored . run-off of this watershed
on lands of ranchers of the area
represented.
Proposal Made
. Instead, it is proposed to store
something more than 70,000 acre
feet in a major reservoir at the so
"called Post' reservoir some ;55
-miles upstream from Prinevllle,
-utilizing slightly more than a half
lot the supply In a diversion to
"the North unit of the Deschutes
project in Jefferson county, or
"other Deschutes basin projects.
'.The remainder of the water, how--ever,
would be used in supplying
supplemental water for a fuller
"development of the old Ochoco Ir--rigation

around Prinevllle. The supply .of

in its aim at increasing that dis-l
trict to a capacity development.
However, when the proposals call
for a diversion of Crooked river
water to other districts, the Post
farmers, as they indicated Satur
day night, think the plan of a na
ture "that will rob them of a one
of their most precious resources,"
the loss of their water.
Resolution Adopted
And as grangers, the men at
the Saturday evening meeting
adopted a resolution, directed to
Commissioner Straus, asking that
the bureau of reclamation bring
forth immediately the full text of
its plans for Crooked river devel
opment as Indicated in the report
made to Senator Cordon, in order
that its full import may be com
prehended from an intensive
study. The resolution asks that
the bureau engage in an intensive
study of the water resources of
the Crooked river watershed, aim
ed at arriving how they may be
most beneficially used on Crook
couny lands and also how a sys
tem or reclamation may provide
flood control. It is requested that
such a report be compleet with
estimated costs to land owners of
the area in their use Of such appli
cation of the water. It is declared,
however, that the ranchers of the
community, will oppose any move
for any diversion of Crooked
river wafers, other than that in
surplus quantity over and above
the amount needed for adequate
irrigation of lands of the area, to
any other point in the Deschutes
watershed.
It was resolved that copies of
the resolution should go to Conv
missloner Straus, Senators Cor
don . and Morse, Representative
Stockman, other state and federal
officials and the Portland cham
ber of commerce.
Petition Slimed
As land owners, the men at the
Post, meeting, signed a petition to
Commissioner -Straus, asking for
a complete report on the Crooked
river project. And in this they in
dicated tnetr opposition to any di
version of the Crooked river wa
ter away from Crook county lands
until the land owners who can'
make beneficial use of It are given
an opportunity to voice their will
to make such use.
The meeting Saturday night
was presided over by E. L. Woods,
Crook county agent, member of a
reclamation committee, named by
W. M. Romine, president of the
Prineville-Crook county chamber
of commerce, Who was present at
the meeting. Others at the Post
meeting Included Judge A. R.
Bowman, chairman of the cham
bers reclamation committee; La
Selle Coles, a member; and Joe D.

30 Mile Tunnel
Planned in Idaho
Boise, Ida., April 6 If
things work out, Idaho, will wind
up with the longest tunnel in the
world.
The bureau of reclamation to
day was contemplating building
the tunnel to carry water irom
the Payette to the Boise rivers
In southwestern Idaho.
According to Regional director
R. J. Newell, the tunnel would
be 30 miles long, and 19 feet in
diameter, and lined with ltt-incn
concrete walls.
Its cost, on the basis of pres
ent day construction price levels,
would be about $100,000,000.
Newell said the tunnel. If con
structed, would be longer than
such lamous bores as the Dela
ware tunnel which supplies water
to the city of New York,
."The tunnel is declared feasible
and cheaper to maintain and op
erate than an aqueduct," Newell
said. "It would carry 2,700 cubic
feet of water a second and would
generate about 75,000 kilowatts
of energy annually with power
installations.
At some points, Newell said,
the tunnel would be 2,400 feet un
der the surface of the ground. It
would be drilled through several
mountain ranges.
Ho added that it would take be
tween 1,000 and 1,500 men to
build the tunnel, which would be
constructed in sections. ;
Club Discusses
Potato Problems
Powell Butte, April 6 Meth
ods of treatment for seed and al
lied problems of potato planting
came up for major discussion at
the April meeting of Powell
Butte Farmers' club at the grade
school cafeteria here Monday
night, when Archie Peeler, Pow
ell Butte blacksmith and mechan
ic, demonstrated a new type of
seed cutter he has invented and
which he is now manufacturing
for use in the area.
Potato growers In their brief
reference to the wage scale for
the season, expressed the belief
that they will be called on to pay
the same rate as in 1948, $1 per
hour. While Roy Snabel remark
ed that growers did not know
how much they are going to re
ceive for their potatoes, he said
they did know how much it is
costing the potato workers to
live. Living costs, he declared,
have shown no appreciable de
cline in the past year.
When to plant and how to treat
seed was a moot question. One
grower even declared that he al
ways plants by the moon. There
were about as many different
opinions on planting and treat
ment as there were potato farm
ers at the session. J. C. Minson,
long a successful and substantial
potato planter, declared it his be
lief that use of corrosive subli
mate is a standard and safe meth
od for keeping to a minimum
many diseases, that attack local
potato fields. Minson said he of-
i ten. held his cut potatoes, so
I treated, as long as 21 days in a
cellar, where temperature of
around 60 degrees is maintained.
He warned that sacks should be
placed on planks aVid so spaced as
to allow a circulation of air. No
sacks should be piled on others.
The potato sacks are kept wet.
Roy Snable, on the other hand,
reported that he has secured best
results irom planting cut seed
immediately.. , ;

Three Nutrients the Key
"Nutrition now offers definite

can be improved."
Laboratory experiments over a
period of years have shown that
three nutrients are the keys to
better health and longer life.
They are vitamin A, calcium and
vitamin C.
"Increase In the quantitjes of
these three substances above lev
els commonly accepted as ade

gains among laboratory animals
used for the studies," he said.
"Clearly, it is advantageous to
the internal environment that
concentration levels of these
three nutrients be kept near the
physiological saturation point.
But it would be unscientific to as

other nutrients. Each should be

Senate Defeats
ERP Measures
Washington, April 6 IU1 The
senate Tudsday defeated more
proposed amendments In its slow
drive toward passage of the $5,
580,000,000 Marshall plan renewal
bill.
- Administration leaders hoped
the measure, now in its 10th day
of senate debate, would be passed
tomorrow. The house has yet to
act on it. Spending for European
recovery ended at midnight Sat
urday but enough goods had been
ordered previously to-keep ship
ments going for a while.
The first amendment defeated
today was one by Sen. Allen J.
Ellender, D., La., to require re
covery nations to repay with stra
tegic materials one-fourth of aid
they get from the United States.
Tlie senate also rejected anoth
er Ellender amendment, 55 to 27.
It would have prevented Marshall
plan nations from using funds
from sale of recovery goods for
reduction of their national debts.
Banks Purchase
School Bonds
Prinevllle, April 6 (IB -1 The
First National bank of Prlneville
and the First National of Port
land yesterday purchased $65,000
of Redmond union high school
bonds, proceeds of which will be
used in a building expansion. The
local bid was at 1 per cent and
a premium of 11 cents on each
$100. The only other bid was sub
mitted by the Kedmoncl orancn
of the United States National
bank of Portland.
..Tne. bonds, which are three
year series, will be amortized in
1951, 1952 and 1953.

"Whether the extra years . of

day's knowledge of nutrition can
be conceived as seven of 10 or
more or less," he said, "they

added to old age, but as inserted
at the apex ol the prime of life.

Compare the others with "The Car Designed with YOU in Mind"
You cannot compare the new cars merely by looking
at pictures'. . . or by watching them on the highway.
You've got to get behind tlie wheel yourself.
Thai's why we urge you to come and see this new
De Soto before you decide on any other car.
You notice the difference right away. De Soto's
doors are wide. You tralk in . . .and keep your hat on.
The sleeting wheel doesn't hit your knees. You're
on chair-high scats, so that you get all the benefit of
the larger windows and windshield.
You've got full stretch-out leg room, front and
bark. And you've got more luggage space in lhat
flush-floor trunk than you ever dreamed of before.
Yes, De Soto is lower. It's got a longer wheelhasc
(all passengers ride between the axles). But there's
no penalty for these advantages. Overall length and
breadth are not increased. You needn't rebuild your
garage. You can still change a tire. And a dented
fender doesn't mean an expensive body repair job.
Let us show you all the new features of the car
that Ids you drive without shifting. Compare it for
beauty, comfort, safety and value. Then decide.
