LET'S HAVE ACTION
In the summer of 1949 there were many days when the
water in the city reservoirs was pulled down to the danger
point. On any one of those days had there been a (ire calling
for the use of great quantities of water by the fire depart
ment the reservoirs would have been emptied. It is not neces
sary to dwell on all the dangers there are in an inadequate
water sunnlv nor on the extent of the damage that can result
from empty mains and supply pipes or mains in which the
pressure is at a minimum.
Like or even worse conditions of supply can be expected
in the coming summer. The number of flat rate users is up
sliirht.lv from last vear. There will be days of (for Bend) un
usual heat. Water use will increase and again there will be
danger. Annually, indeed, the city will face this problem ol
an inadequate supply and the attendant dangers. Annually,
that is, unless steps are taken to remedy the situation.
In saving these things we present nothing new. Just about
everybody who reads knows
missions and city managers, oia ana new, nave aiscusseu it
There have been studies and reports, examinations and re
examinations. There has been a lot of everything except
action.
This is a call for action. It is a call for action that will meet
the needs of the city of today, that will provide water for in
dustrial as well as population growth and that will make it
possible to offer water to surrounding additions that now
lack an independent domestic supply.
Bend s water now comes trom the boutn lorK 01 iumaio
creek. There is a small surplus
flow periods. That surplus is the full amount of water that
can be added to the city supply from this source. In terms of
water supply Bend, if it relies on the boutn lorK source, can
not grow beyond the limits imposed by that small surplus.
This surplus flow now goes ultimately to irrigate lands in
the Tumalo project. To divert the surplus to Bend use would
require purchase of the water and retirement from irrigated
production of certain Tumalo acreage. That would be costly.
There are difficult legal matters to be worked out as well.
It was once proposed to develop a reservoir on Tumalo
creek for storage of a sufficient amount of winter flow to re
place the South fork surplus if it were taken for city use. That
plan, we believe, has now been abandoned and wisely so for
it would be costly and highly uncertain.
Drilling to find an artesian supply has been undertaken
with the contractor now on the third location and with no
greater promise of success than that met on the first two
tries. '
While the milky condition of Tumalo creek, itself, at any
point below the Middle fork junction makes the use of the
water impossible there is an ample supply in the North fork.
It is less than three miles from the Middle fork down to the
main from the South fork. Use of North fork water in, per
haps, a new main to the city would answer the supply prob
lem but acquisition, under the terms described above with
respect to the South fork surplus, would be necessary. It
would doubtless be necessary, also, to resort to chlorinution
in a higher degree than with South fork water.
The other supply possibility is to go, as suggested by Jack
Hamby, to the Camp Abbot supply that was developed by
the army. This, too, is adequate and safe but very costly for
there would be a long pipe to put down, there would be
pumping expense and the possibility of having to meet condi
tions caused by the development of the Upper Benham falls
reservoir, an undertaking that some day may come to pass.
We have made no investigation of costs but are inclined to
the belief -that the North fork supply would be less expensive
than that from Camp Abbot. Perhaps the experts have al
ready investigated it and tossed
an investigation.
To our mind it's either North
a case of doing something now. Let's have action.
Metering would serve to stretch the water supply by lead
ing to greater care in use. Metering is the quick answer to the
currently pressing problem and we believe in it but even
with metering Bend needs a new supply for its own growth
and to aid in the growth of its surrounding acres.
Let's have action.
Bend can hardly remain an island in a day light saving sea.
With Portland, Eugene, The Dalles and Klamath Falls to
name but a few on summer time the city commission should
vote for the plan and end the argument.

(NEA Wauhinxtun Corrcsimnilent)
Washington (NEA) Postmast
er general Jesse M. Donaldson's
efforts to put the U. S. post office
department on a business basis
are at last beginning to pay off.
Reorganization of the depart
ment in line with Hoover commis.
sion recommendations got by
without objection from congress
last year. Major administrative
changes will take ef fectwhen the
new fiscal year begins 'next July
1 if congress passes additional re
organization legislation.
The house has passed a hill
which will increase all but first
class mail rates. If approved by
the senate, this will reduce the
post office department's annual
deficit of $550,000,000 bv about
$130,000,000 a year and bring it a
little closer to paying its own way
as It goes.
Finally, the interstate com
merce commission has just hand
ed down a decision to try on its
merits the U S. railroads' request
for what mounts to a 95 per cent
increase in pay for carrying the
mail. This is reversal of a pre
vious ICC stand on this case.
It is also a great victory for the
postmaster general, who has been
fighting the railroads' demand for
more mail pay without hearing.
ine postmaster general put his
foot down and said "No!" He
demanded a cost study to justify
the railroads' demands. The rail
road presidents fought him on
that, too. but he won out. A
survey of some 10,000 railway sta
tions where mail Is handled was
made and the results of that study
are now being examined bv the
railroads and the P. O. depart
ment.
When the railway mall pav rnse
goes to trial in September before
the ICC, it will be on the basis
of these cost studies. The rail
roads and the government have
agreed to exchange their data be.
fore the trial begins. So the pro
ceedings should be completed be
fore the end of 1950.
There is no doubt about the
railroads getting something more.
There lias been no Increase In
mail pay rates for 25 years. In
the interval, the character and
volume of the mail have changed
labor costs have increased ami so
have operating costs in railway
terminals. liul what the rail
roads will be paid in the future'
in will be baseil tm actual costs of
in j operation, and not on guesswork.
What the cost surveys are ex
in peeled to reveal are where the
ranmans aim ine government are
wasting money by inefficient
operation. For instance, in the
New York, Huston ami other met.
ropolilan areas, there is no sense
in trucking mall to the railroad
terminal, loading It on mail cars,
hauling it 10 or 20 miles into the
suburbs, unloading it, trucking it

to another post office and then
distributing it. Great savings are
anticipated by truck route opera
tions from post office to post of-
iiee.
Similarly, the railroads' present
charge of 52 cents a mile for
returning empty mail cars from
the west to the east where the
bulk of all mail originates is ex
pected to be cut down. Over the
past 20 years this movement of
empties has cost the government
an estimated $-100,000,000.
Readjustment of railway mail
pay rates on a fair cost basis is
only One of the postmaster gen
erals moves to put his depart
ment on an efficient operating
basis. It is the biggest business
in the world, with the most cm-
plpyes-over 535,000.
One of the principal reforms
now being sought is separation of
airline subsidies from pay for car
rying the airmail. Up to now,
civil aeronautices authority has
fixed the rates for mail carrying,
and told the post office depart
ment what it should pay.
But since CAB ras been inter
ested in fostering the growth of
civil aviation, it has added onto
the mail pay substantial subsidies
to the airlines to make opera
tions profitable. The postmaster
general now wants a fair rate
fixed for hauling the airmail on
a ton-mile basis. Then if the gov.
ernment wants to subsidize the
airlines, put that in a separate
appropriation and call it by its
right name.

Dalles-California highway north
from Bend to the county line, as
requested by a local delegation.
A rabbit drive will be held in

Man Sells Blood
To Return Lost
Stocks to Owner
Los Angeles, March 28 (U'l
Harold Price, although jobless and
broke, was so honest that he lit
erally sold his blood so he could
return $27,000 In negotiable stocks
and checks he found on a street.
Price found the bundle of val.
uables Saturday night In down
town Los Angeles,
"Most of it was endorsed," the
27-year-old Price said. "I guess
I could have casiied it."
But he didn't.
Price was able to identify the
owner as Mrs. Josephine Seeder,
Sherman Oaks, Cal. He called the
Seeder home, but no one answer
ed. She had left for her Chicago
residence.
Price borrowed money from
friends in order to store the valu
ables in a locker. He was afraid
to go to police for fear they'd
book him as a vagrant.
Aided by Newspaper
Finally, he sold a pint of blood
for $4 to use as carfare to Sher.
man Oaks to find out where Mrs.
Seeder could be reached.
But a friend persuaded him tc
go to a newspaper, the Los An
geles Times, . which traced Mrs.
Seeder to Chicago yesterday and
also located a sister, Mrs. Esther
le Kushen of Los Angeles.
Neither sister knew the secur
ities were missing. Mrs. Seeder
said she had given them to a Los
Angeles attorney to have names
altered following the recent death
of her husband.
The attorney also was unaware
that the valuables were gone. He
added that he didn't think they
could have been cashed by a
stranger, however.
Price was assured of a reward
by the Chicago woman. He said
the only kind he was interested in
was "a good job."

performance of "Spring Fever."
According to Carl Degncr, "And
the Bud Blosspms," the year book
for the creative writing classes,
is in the last stages of prepara
tion and should be in circulation
in the near future. Mary Lou Ha
zen, editor, reported to the
Spokesman office Saturday morn
