HANGING ONTO THE EXCUSE
Disregarding the precedent that is being established on the
Santiam and Willamette rivers, where means of continuing
salmon propagation have been worked out that will not be
jeopardized by hign dam construction, tne department 01 me
Interior will use the fish issue in opposing licensing of the
Pelton power dam on the Deschutes when this matter comes
before the federal hydro-electric commission. Promise of op
position is announced by no less an official than C. Girard
Davidson, assistant secretary of the department.
Mr. Davidson's utterances are frequently perplexing. This
one is especially so, not only in relation to the decisions al
rpadv reached as to the Santiam and Willamette but because
the head of the department, Julius A. Krug, has already
urged that every agency which can bring about greater power
development should do so in order to alleviate the existing
shortage. .
The record of the Krug stand was renewed in the hearing
before the Oregon hydroelectric commission on the applica
tion of the Northwest Power Supply Company to construct
the Pelton project. It is contained in the applicant's state
ment in rebuttal, a document of such importance in its rela
tion to the Dower situation and, through it, to the welfare of
the state, that it merits general perusal. The statement is
offered to our readers, the first installment appearing today
on this page. . , , .
Mr. Krug, the record shows, recognized the impossibility
that public expenditure, no matter how lavish, could catch up
with the power need in less than five or six years. By no
stretch of the imagination can Mr. Krug De considered a pri
vate power man but it is apparent that he conceded private
power a proper place in the over-all power picture. That, as
far as the secretary of the interior is concerned, leaves every
thing on the high plane of the needs of the people and the
greatest common good.
Here enters Mr. Davidson in the role of hatchet man. The
department, regardless of its public pronouncements, is
against anything that will not add to the department's influ
ence. Private power definitely will not and so any move for a
private power development must be put down. That, it seems,
is Mr. Davidson's assignment. Instead of using a hatchet,
however, he will do it with fish.
But here, also, the facts are against him. Consider the situa
tion on the Santiam. There provisions have already been
made for a salmon hatchery above the Detroit dam. Salmon
will be trapped and spawned below nthe dam and the eggs
"eyed" before being taken to the Marion Forks hatchery. As
fingerlings the f isH. will be returned to the river below the
dam. The plan is outlined in the news by Arne J. Suomela,
master fish warden for the state. Conditions at Meridian, on
the middle fork of the Willamette, where another high dam
is to rise, will require similar treatment, use of an above-the-falls
hatchery, that is, Suomela makes known.
Conditions on the Deschutes in connection with Pelton dam
construction are similar to those at Detroit and at Meridian.
The same solution that the corps of engineers and the. master
fish warden are bringing to the salmon run problem in the
Santiam and Willamette rivers will apply to the salmon run
problems on the Deschutes. Mr. Davidson will ignore this
fact, however. The department of the interior simply has to
hang on to some excuse, no matter how flimsy, for opposing
the Pelton project.

At the conclusion of the hear
ing it was agreed that rebuttal
testimony be submitted in the
form of a written statement It is
suggested that the following
points, among others, should be
covered in such statement:
(1) No competition between the
use of water for irrigation or
power. Applicant agrees that any
right covered by a preliminary
permit or license is subject to
prior rights for irrigation pur
poses. Applicant neither asks for
nor expects a right for the use of
the water for power purposes su
perior to existing Irrigation rights
or domestic use. , There is no
claim whatever of a right super
ior to water for the "north unit,"
nor for any existing or presently
contemplated project. We not
only do not want to but will not
take any water which can be used
for Irrigation. Central Oregon
needs every drop of water that
can be placed on its lands, and ap
plicant will not and does not
stand in the way. It is not anti
cipated there will any difficulty
In agreeing to language to be in
cluded for the protection of exist
ing and presently contemplated
projects. The farmers of the re
gion, without exception, are sup
porting the application the
strongest possible argument that
no conflict exists or is anticipated.
(2) The attitude of the Depart
ment of the Interior is confusing.
A meeting of representatives of
public and private power inter
ests at Tacoma, September 30,
1948, was called by Secretary
Krug to discuss with him what
should be done to meet the acute
power shortage of the northwest.
After reviewing the need and the
fact that the federal government.
no matter how liberal the appro
priation, could not possibly allev
iate the shortage before 1954 or
I9aa, the secretary urged every
agency represented to proceed
with any development, large or
small, which could be brought
into production during that pe
riod. He said his request was to
public and private agencies alike.
It was understood by everyone
present that the department
would lend aid and assistance in
any project undertaken.
There was no intimation of op
position from any arm of the de
partment. This was an invitation
to public and private agencies to
go ahead, and certainly carried
the implication that the federal
government not only was favor
able to such development but
would cooperate in carrying it for
ward. As a result, the companies
who expect to buy the power to
oe ueveioped at the site Involved
in this application looked about
for a quick and economical devel
opment. The best one they found
is the Pelton site, and it is rather
significant that in all the sugges
tions that have been made as to
alternatives none can be so quick
ly developed or at such low cost.
In late February or early March
of this year, and after the appli
cation was filed, a conference was
held wltli Assistant secretary Da
vidson, and assurance was given
by him that the department was
not opposed to this development,
that it had taken no position on
the question of the establishment
of this river as a fish sanctuary,
and did not expect to do so pend
ing tlie application.
The statement submitted for
the record, therefore, is entirely
contrary to the position previ
ously taken by the department,
and is a complete change ol front
by the department.

Logger Jailed
After Gun Fight
Canyon City, Ore., June 13 ttPi
Bill (Tennessee) Sliultz, 25-vear-old
logger, was under ar
rest here today following a Sat
urday night rifle duel on the
main street of Dayvllle, Ore., in
which another man was critically
wounded.
The wounded man, Lloyd Erlck-
son, about 37, was reported in
"precarious" condition in the
Blue Mountain General hospital
at Prairie City, Ore.
No charges had been placed
against Shultz.
"Charges will depend on winn
er Enckson lives, said E. B.
Truesdell, Grant county district
attorney.
According to the district at
torney, the shooting in the North
Central Oregon town, about 32
miles west of here, was preceded
by a fist fight. Truesdell said
that Erickson, angered at losing
the fight, went home for ills rifle
when Shultz went to a parked
car and obtained a ,30-calibre
rifle.
Erickson approached, carrying
his gun, the district attorney
said. Shultz pointed his rifle out
the window and fired one shot,
which struck Erickson- in the
groin.
Out On the Farm

4,000,000,000 dozen eggs yearly.
By Ha S. Grant
June 13 Saturday was home
coming for Gypsy, the little mare.
In mid-afternoon, two young men
from town, who read "Down on
the Farm," presented themselves
In our back yard and announced
that they had come to catch the
horse. "Well that's right friendly
of ya," the chief allowed, "If we
all go together, we can chase her
into a corner."
We filled our pockets with
lump sugar and picked another
bunch of alfalfa, and walked up
the road to the next pasture.
Gypsy was apparently impressed
oy tne imposing delegation, De-
cause she stopped munching
grass and watched with interest
as we approached.
. As usual, I went into the field
alone, trying hard to be very cas
ual about it all and act as though
there was no question but what
she would come when I called
her. I walked towards her pur
posefully and offered the alfalfa.
She bit off a mouthful and stood
stock still. Remembering that
you shouldn't let your left hand
know what your right hand is
doing, I stroked her soft nose
with the fist that clenched the
alfalfa, and with the other grub
by paw, grabbed the halter.
Flushed with success, I pulled
on the ring attached to the neck
strap, and started to lead her to
the gate. She braced her legs,
half crouched on her haunches,
stomped with her front feet and
tossed her head, pulling away
from my grasp. Determined not
to lose face before visitors, I
spoke to her sternly, walked to
towards her again, and waved the
remaining limp spears of alfalfa.
She sniffed at them and snorted,
and let me catch her again. This
time I held tightly to the ring,
and the four wranglers spread
out and closed in. The fight was
over.
Sunday we staked her out in
the yard, and she took only slight
interest In the tall, lush grass
along the ditch, that we hoped
she would mow. She is some 200
pounds heavier than when she
left home a couple of months ago,
and even on a horse, that's quite
a bit of avoirdupois. Her plump,
ness becomes her, and the slen
der legs are Just as trim and
graceful as ever.
Others Say
Under an international whaling
agreement, signed by 12 nations
in 1946, a commission has been
created to coordinate scientific
research on whales and regulate
whaling activities throughout the
world.
WE PLEAD NOT GUILTY
(Albany Democrat-Herald)
"Speaking of salmon runs in
Oregon streams, as many of us
have been doing lately, it has
been interesting to observe that
only minor editorial attention has
been paid to a serious hazard to
such runs," says the Bend Bulle
tin. Maybe so, If the Bulletin refers
to some of our contemporaries,
but as for us, we have been harp
ing on elimination of Wilamette
river pollution for the last de
cade, and it begins to look now
that we are getting some place.
Albany, at least, is taking nec
essary steps toward taking its

Here's another Indication of
the trend of things to come
with respect to lower prices
on the more expensive items.
Graflex announced last Mon
day that in order to stimulate
sales at the height of the sea
son and to offset customer re
slstance to current prices and
customer expectations of price
reductions, they are now pre
pared to offer all of the Speed
ana crown urapnics and ura
ilex cameras at a reduction.
Cameras Beduced
As an example, the 3'4x4?4 .
Super D Graflex formerly sold
for $230.00 and it's now avail
able in the Camera Dept. at
Symons Bros, for just $189.00.
If you've been toying with the
Idea of owning a Speed Gra
phic or Graflex camera but
have been putting it off for
one reason or another don't de
lay. It will pay you to investi
gate these substantial price
reductions.
With the big 4th of July eel
ebration only a few weeks
away, it's not too early to be
thinking of pictures of all the
exciting events. The Water
Pageant Association has an
nounced that there is to be an
Aquatic Show on the after
noons of the 2nd and 3rd, Sat
urday and Sunday. You'll not
want to miss a few shots of
these star performers as they
display their skills in our own
Mirror Pond. They say there's
to be swimming and diving ex
hibitions along with some out
standing novelty acts includ
ing juggling, tumbling and
tight-wire. Since this show is
to be put on-two days, every
one will have an opportunity
to get some pictures.
Pool Opening1 Ahead
Then on Monday there's the
dedication of the Bend Swim
ming pool, which is another
"natural" for taking pictures.
The Bend Municipal Band will
be on hand to lend to the oc
casion and the whole affair
goes to make up a good pic
ture taking opportunity. As a
reminder, the Queen Candi
dates are offering for sale
Pageant buttons and if you
haven't yours as yet, buy one
tomorrow. Support your favor
ite candidate and the Pageant
itself!
Flashgun Advocated
The other day a customer
approached us with this prob
lem: He said, "You know, I've
been looking forward to this
wonderful sunshine all throuph
these winter months, but now
that it's here I find that it's
producing such- strong sha
dows that it detracts from my
pictures. What would you sug
gest?" For those of you who
are strong advocates of side
lighting and back lighting,
your biggest problem is bring
ing sufficient light into the
heavily shaded areas. The best
facial expression is attainable
only when your subject is not
forced to squint into the sun.
So. dig out the flashgun that
you so carefully put away for
the summer, thinking that you
wouldn't need that with all of
the wonderful central Oregon
sunshine that we'll be having
all summer. Yes, that's one
answer that many of the pro
fessionals have found will
solve this problem and permit
you to get better pictures with
out those too strong shadows.
If you question the advisabili
ty of this advice then we in
vite you to inspect any of the
fine samples of photography
that you'll find in all of the
pcpular magazines advertising
cameras and film. Of course,
this isn't the only solution but
It's one of the most recent and
is gaining favor with amateur
and professional alike.
