Reclamation Construction in
1949-50 to be $387,000,000
Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 4 W The reclamation bureau's
construction program in the western states will approach $387,
000,000 during this fiscal year, Reclamation Commissioner Mich
ael W, Straus announced today
Straus, who is attending the convention of the National Rec
lamation association, said ex-'
penditures in the 12 months end
ing June 30 will include $333,
981,038 in new funds plus car
ryovers from past appropria
tions. Work Is going ahead on 63
projects and divisions, includ
ing the Missouri river basin
development, which is being
carried on as a single integrated
project, Straus said.
They include 35 storage dams,
nine power plants, more than
200 miles of canals, and other
facilities for making water avail
able for irrigation and domestic
use
Straus said that Congress in
approving an "unprecedented"
program this year had handed
the reclamation bureau a "chal
lenging responsibility."
"We have been moving dirt
and pouring concrete in record
volume ever since our program
ming conference in Boulder City
last August," he said.
"Now, with the actual appro
priation before us. we can pin
point our goals. The reclama
tions forces throughout the
country can have the ball and
are heading for those objectives
at full speed."
Coupled with actual construe
tion, the commissioner ex
plained, is a far-reaching pro
gram of investigations for future
projects reaching into 17 west
ern states.
Congress also approved $2,-
500,000 for project rehabilita
tion, permitting needed repairs
and modernization on projects
which have long been In opera-1
tion.
The total bureau appropria
tion for this fiscal year, includ
ing deficiency funds, has been
$356, 514,910, Straus stated
He estimated the current con
struction program will make
water available for an additional
400.000 acres and increase hyd
roelectric generating capacity by
about 500,000 kilowatts by next
June 30.
This would Increase the total
acreage for which reclamation
project water is available to
5,750,000 acres and increase total
installed generating capacity on
projects to about 3,2b0,000 kilo
watts. Straus said this year's work
will represent "major progress'
on long range construction pro
grams pointed toward ne,w and
supplemental water for another
4.000,000 acres nd installation
of approximately 2,000,000 kilo
watts in additional power gen
erating capacity by 1956.
Reapportionment Measure
For Vote Filed With O'Hara
A preliminary initiative petition to rea
Legislature on a population basis was filed
of State late Thursday.
James T. Marr, executive secretary of the
Labor, came here to file it. He said it has
AFL, CIO, Young Republicans
and Young Democrats.
If the sponsors get 25,482 sig
natures by next July 6, the
measure would appear on the
November, 1950, general elec
tion ballot.
The last legislative reappor
tionment was 40 years ago
Legislatures since then have
failed to abide by the constitu
tion, which requires reapportion
ment after every census. The
chief demand for reapportion
ment eomes from Multnomah
county, which would benefit by
a reapportionment.
Today's initiative would re
quire the governor, secretary of
state and state treasurer to do
the reapportioning after each
census. And if they don't, then
the state supreme court would
do it.
Under a reapportionment,
Multnomah county would have
a third of the legislators, but
the Initiative also provides that
that county couldn't have more
than one-third.
Multnomah county now has
fix senators, and shores an
other with Columbia and Clack
amas counties. The initiative
would give it 10 senators.
The same county has 13 rep
resentatives, plus one shared
with Clackamai county. Under
the initiative, it would have 20

Ice May Save
Your Life
By
By J. H. WILLETT
or tht Capital Drug stora
In the last five years ice has
been found very effective in
treating various injuries. First
used in amputations, refrigera
tion treatment is now applied in
cases of burns, frostbite, and ad
vanced stages of cancer.
Ice or refrigeration as it is
called reduces pain and swelling,
arrests infection, and eliminates
shock in operation. One of its
greatest advantages is that it
permits the postponement of an
operation until the patient is
physically able to safely under
go it.
