THAT COLUMBIA DIVERSION AGAIN
The diversion of Columbia river waters to the thirsty lands
of southern California was first proposed last year by Assist
ant secretary Warne, of the department of the interior. Mr.
Warne was specific with respect to the point of diversion
somewhere, he said, below Bonneville. More recently he has
been writing and speaking of diversions from the Columbia
"and possibly other northwest streams". These would be
above Bonneville some far above and the suggestion is
an extreme change from the proposal originally made.
When it was obvious that the waters of the Klamath basin
were involved in the Warne thinking Representative Stock
man called the secretary's attention to Klamath chamber pro
tests. Warne s reply contained this paragraph :
"The crux of the situation is in the interpretation of the sen
tence 'only surplus waters would be sought or taken'. We con
sider surplus water any water which would be wasted to the sea
under conditions of maximum practicable within-basin develop
ment ol water and land resources. Our proposal will not Involve
depriving water users in the Klamath Klver Basin of any right
ful or needed water supplies. The quantity of water which would
be available for export annually, if any, would vary from year
to year depending upon Klamath River Basin water supply and
demand. Its use in the Central Valley would require hold-over
storage capacity to 'firm-up' the average annual supply. In the
ultimate project, water imported from other river basins to the
north would be available to Klamath River water users if needed
to replace or supplement Klamath River water diverted to Cali
fornia. This answer may satisfy the Klamath chamber. The Klam
ath region would suffer no net water loss under this Warne
formula. What is taken away would De replaced Dy "water im
ported from other river basins to the north", says Mr. Warne
but he fails to name those basins and, actually, there are none
other than the Columbia available to the Klamath basin
Thus, the question comes right back up to the Columbia
and Mr. Warne, asked to comment on that fact would prob
ably point again to what he calls the crux of the situation .
"Only surplus waters would be sought or taken," he says. That
is the crux and he defines surplus waters. The dennition is
good so far as it goes but one element is lacking. Time. As of
what time would the waters to be taken regarded as surplus?
Would they be waters that never could be used in the Colum
bia basin? Would they be waters that would always be sur
plus or would they be simply those that were being wasted to
the sea at the time of the decision ?
Never is a long time. No resident of the Columbia basin,
we believe, would agree that the time would never come when
all its waters would not be needed in the basin.
Incidentally, how does this Klamath-Columbia diversion
idea fit into the CVA plan ? The Klamath basin, it will be re
membered, is not in the proposed CVA. Columbia waters,
however, are in in their entirety. What sort of deal would
be necessary and who would be the parties if there were a
CVA and also an agency arranging the diversion to Califor
nia? , '

"UNCLE FRANK" NICHOLS & CROOK COUNTY
On its appearance a few weeks ago we spojee here of the
little pamphlet from the Oregon "staRT archives listing the
names of the members of the Oregon legislature in the period
1860-1949. Now David C. Duniway, state archivist, writes
saying "1 would like to know if the B. F. Nichols who served
from Crook County in 1893 is the same man as Beniamin F.
Nichols who served from Wasco in 1882. The latter intro
duced the bill which established Crook County, and it looks
suspicious."
We have replied to Mr. Duniway that without doubt B. F.
Nichols and Benjamin F. Nichols are one and the same man.
This is certainly the "Uncle Frank" Nichols who is remem
bered by residents of 30 years or more us living in Tumalo
and who occasionally came up to Bend with the aged "Marsh"
Awbrey.
"Uncle Frank" died in 1920 at the ndvanced age of 95 after
a long experience in the early and the more modern Oregon.
He had crossed the plains in 1844, he knew Marcus Whitman,
he served in the Cayuse war, he was a member of Oregon's
provisional government. For a time he was the sheriff of all
the territory between the Pacific ocean and the summits of
the Rocky mountains and between California and a line cast
and west through Salem.
It is not at all "suspicious", as suggested by Dr. Duniway,
that a representative from Wasco county should want to see
Crook county formed though the act would reduce the size of
Wasco. As a resident of Prineville Representative Nichols
would be much interested in having his section set off and
a county seat named lor the new county.

INKA Wauhinvton Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) A "Weaver-Newell"
plan is now being put
forward as a substitute for Pres
ident Truman's Columbia Valley
Authority plan. Just as the "Pick-
Sloan" plan was thought up to
block development of Die Missouri
Valley Authority planning, the
Weaver-Newell plan is expected to
check democratic administration
planning for a CVA.
Both plans represent agree
ments between the army corps of
engineers and department of in
terior's bureau of reclamation to
divide the big dam-building job in
those two big river valleys. 1 hey
are also fights for power. iNeith
er of these oid line agencies wants
to lose anything to a proposed in
terstate, regional development
agency Jike TV A the Tennessee
Valley Authority plan.
The Weaver-Newell deal, first
announced by the secretaries of
the army and interior, divides up
responsibilities for some 60 proj
ects in the Columbia valley. Only
two have been completed. Bureau
of reclamation has seven more
under construction, four more
authorized but not appropriated
for, and 13 recommended. Army
engineers have four under con
struction, eight authorized, 22 rec
ommended. Authority for this planning
goes back to 1943, when the sen
ate commerce committee asked
army engineers to revise their
plans for development of water re
sources in this area. Then last
June and September, the presi
dent asked both army engineers
and bureau of reclamation to re
view and co-ordinate their plans,
following the disastrous Columbia
river floods of 1948. The presi
dent asked that the reports be
sent to the White House.
On April 19, army engineers and
bureau of reclamation announced
their agreement to split up the
work they had planned. Two days
later General Pick, as chief of en
gineers, sent this proposed plan
to the governors of the western
states and to other federal agen-
cles having an interest in this
area.
Reports from the states are all
In and are all favorable to the
Weaver-Newell plan, with some
reservations on giving irrigation
projects second consideration in
Montana and Idaho. The situation
with respect to department of ag
riculture's soil conservation serv
ice and forest service, interior's
electric power, grazing, national
parks, Indian, fish and wildlife
services and the federal power
commission and Bonneville power
authority are considerably differ
ent. All these agencies have ma
jor interests in the northwest.
Under norma! government pro
cedure, all these agencies ar re
quired to make reports on engi
neer and reclamation proposals. A
final revised report must then be
cleared by bureau of the budget
After that General Pick would be
authorized to forward the report
to the secretary of the army,
who would send it to congress.
In the great desire to speed ap
proval on the Weaver-Newell plan,
ahead of the CVA, this routine
has been completely shortcircuit
ed. The congress through Chair
man William M. Whlttington's
house public works committee
asked the chief of engineers to
submit his as-yet unapproved
plan. Colonel Weaver made this
presentation in one-day hearings
on May 20. R. J. Newell made
the presentation for bureau of
reclamation. The CVA plan was
n't even mentioned.
Army and engineer and bureau
of reclamation spokesmen say
that their Weaver-Newell plan
will fit right into a CVA, if and
whenever .one Is created by con
gress. CVA backers argue that this is
nonsense. They say the Weaver
Newell' plan makes provision for
nothing except engineer and recla
mation projects. They say it does
not provide for efficient manage
ment of Columbia waters to pro
vide power, irrigation, flood con
trol, fisheries, anti-stream pollu
tion and navigation all at once.
In calling it Just another Pick
Sloan stop-gap compromise, they
point to reports from President
Hoovers commission on govern'
ment reorganization for proof of
its inefficiency, duplication and
wastefulness.
Out On the Farm
By Ila S. Grant
June 4 A cabbage may not be
as esthetic as a tomato, but it's
lots easier to raise. Last night
we said last rites over the dead
tomato plants, pulled them up
and planted cabbage in their
places.
Half a dozen or so of the to-
matoes survived the frost, so we
left them where they were, and
took the precaution of protect
ing them with pieces of singles,
"planted" like slant roofs.
A friend gave me a tip about
cabbage plants. "The cut worms
will mow them down, if you
don t plant a nail beside each
cabbage," he warned. "T h e
worm has to wrap itself around
a plant to nip it off, and the nail
fouls him up and leaves him com
pletely frustrated."
I told the Chief this little hit
of wisdom, and he Inquired po
litely, "And when it comes time
to plow the garden with the rub
ber-tired tractor, will you go
ahead and harvest all the nails?"
I was afraid that they might get
disarranged through the summer
and therefore be hard to find, so
we reached a compromise.
The Great Mechanics dropped
their roles temporarily and sat
down with a stack of newspapers
and the kitchen scissors. They
clipped out a batch of neat little
squares and wrapped one snug
ly about the stem of each plant,
leaving the roots exposed.
"The paper will protect the
stalks until they're large enough
to be safe from the worms," they
reasoned. We'll see, in due time.
When we bought the cabbage
plants, the flowers were irrest-
able. We ve avoided annuals so
far, concentrating on getting the
perennials cleaned of grass and
re-set. Could see no use in pass
ing up the marigolds complete
ly, though, so bought a dozen for
a little color against the rock
wall that encloses the cistern.
Some already had blossoms, and
I set them out after the cabbages
were in. They didn't even wilt,
and they will help bridge the
gap until the hollyhocks and
Michaelmas daisies bloom.
Our future neighbors on Up
per Mosquito who joined in the
planting bee, stayed to share the
"company stew." That means
there's a can of mushroom caps
added to" the sauce, and the
dumplings are garnished witli
parsley and paprika. The pota
toes and carrots are cooked sep
arately. They're arranged on a
platter and the meat and gravy
mixture is poured over.' Then
come the dumplings, that are
steamed over the meat, and last
of all, a cupful of fresh-frozen
peas, that are cooked just a few
minutes by themselves. A very
colorful dish it is, and not hard
to do.

New York, Tune 4 IPV Expert
mental evidence that the heart
may indirectly damage itself in
rheumatic fever was presented
today at the 7th International con
gress of rheumatic diseases.
The report came from Dr. Phil
ip A. Cavelti, of Los Angeles, who
said that the experiment with ani
mals may result in a new -theory
of the origin of rheumatic feaver,
Bright's disease and possibly mul
tiple sclerosis, commonly known
as creeping paralysis.
11 the theory holds true, then it
may also lead to a new treatment
for rheumatic fever.
Dr. Cavelti's hypothesis sug
gests that injury to the heart in
rheumatic fever may be caused by
tiny substances, known as auto-
antigens, created in the heart it
self in the presence of the bacteria
known as streptococci. It has
long been believed that rheumatic
fever follows streptoccocal infec
tions.
In the case of bacteria the body
creates antibodies that combat
the Infection. It also has been
found that foreign tissue injected
into a body also causes the crea
tion of agents to combat the "in
truder."
Dr. Cavelti said that heart
changes in rats were found to oc
cur if the animals received injec
tions of rat heart extract to which
the bacteria sterptococci had been
added, or with connective tissue
from rats mixed with the same
germs. In the same way, he said,
damage to. the kidneys of animals
occurred when they received in
jections df kidney tissue extract
to which the germs had been
added. '
"The experimental results out
lined support to the hypothesis
that Bright s disease and rheu
matic fever and perhaps other dis
eases are due to antibodies
against certain human tissue sub
stances," he said.
May Be Neutralized
He suggested that it might be
possible to neutralize the anti
bodies circulating in the blood
stream, and that if such could be
done before the antibodies react
with the body tissues the heart
tissue in the case of rheumatic
fever the damage of the disease
might be prevented. Neutraliza
tion of the antibodies after they
had been formed might also prove
effective in preventing further
damage, and thus decrease the
tendency of a disease to become
chronic.
.-. He found that heart lesions in
the experimental animals did not
occur when given heart tissue sub
stance alone, or the injections of
the bacteria alone. The damage
resulted only when both were
mixed and injected together.
Fact and Fancy

We 1iave nicknamed him "Old
Butch, probably because he's
such a tough guy in his own do
main.
Hes the biggest honker on
Mirror pond and he rules by right
of weight, if not through royal
unease.
We met "Old Butch" some time
ago, soon after our arrival in
Bend. We were feeding stale
bread to ducks and geese on the
pond when His Majesty, Butch
the First, arrived on the scene.
He marched right up and with an
imperative hiss demanded food,
He took the bread right out of
our hand something we since
have found is not uncommon
among the pond's waterfowl pop
ulace. In the meantime other
ganders stood at a respectful dis
tance.
"Butch" ate and ate. Finally
we thought: "Why you old gour
mand; tnis should fix you," and
we gave him an entire heel from
the loaf.
He couldn't gulp it, and he
seemed to feel that It- would be
beneath his dignity to pick it to

flying over the water to the Is
land to share his repast with "the
missus."
On another occasion we were
amused by the abortive attempt
of a younger gander to challenge
"Old Butch's" authority;
This young upstart had been
"having himself quite a time," as
we were feeding the flock. He
would arch his neck and make
a weaving assault on any and all
geese and ducks that sought to
join the banquet
Finally we could see "Old
Butch" mediatatlvely swimming
to snore from the Island, as
though he were plotting the
downfall of this "pretender to the
tnrone. '
It could have been a case of
mistaken identify, or possibly the
young gander actually had be
come intoxicated by his own
prowess. In any event he made
a mssing run at Old Butch,"
just as the latter waddled ashore.
Butch" met the assault with
an air of astonishment; as if at
first he hardly could believe such
a thing could happen. Then he
went into action, and such snap
ping, flapping and clawing we
never imagined a goose could produce.
The two ganders went at it
hammer and tone, bill and quill,
for at least a minute. Then the
younger bird gave way, retreating
ignominiously to the shelter of a
nearby tree trunk, v
"Butch" did not pursue. He
merely flapped nis wings several
times, as though to say: "Any
body else want to argue?"' Then
he stepped up for his share of the
looa. 3
But If we ever saw a crestfal
len bird, it was the defeated usur
per of "Butch's" demesne. He
looked for all the world as though
he had lost his last pinfeather!
P.S. "Old Butch" is a papa
now. He and "the missus" greet
ed us again the other evening
this time accompanied by four
fuzzy goslings. But domesticity
hasn't improved his disposition
much.
He's still an irascible old bird,
bullying everything In sight in
cluding the swan. That is, except
ing the "old lady." . He's almost
gentlemanly In his treatment of
her. He even lets her eat first
out of our hand!
