Guaranteed Warranties Offer Water Heater Protection When the water heater goes on the blink the whole family is in "hot water". The supply Oregon Water Law Research to Cover Diversion Problems Future legal protection for states asked to divert their wa ter resources to help water-short areas may result from investi gation being sponsored by an Oregon State University water resources group. A study of Oregon's water laws, sponsored by the OSU Wa ter Resources Research Institute, is underway by Chapin D. Clarke, a University of Oregon lawyer. The study Is to provide a basis for future WRRI projects concerned with the legal and socio-economic problems of wa ter use, including problems con nected with inter-state water diversion. The WRRI, established at OSU in 1960, serves as a statewide center for the coordination and promotion' of water resources re search. It is the coordinating agency for some $2 million in water research now underway at OSU. The water law study, which began last summer, will investi gate the adequacy of some Ore gon water laws and early water-use court decisions in the light of modern conditions. "Many of the laws and cus toms governing water manage ment are based on situations of 40 or more years ago," noted Malcolm H. Karr, WRRI execu tive secretary. Some of these laws badly need up-dating to meet modern needs, he indicated. Clarke's water law study is one phase of a continuing eval uation of water management institutions throughout Oregon by the OSU agency, Karr ex plained. Included in such insti tutions are water law, water use customs, water managem e n t agencies and administra tive regulations connected with wa ter. The WRRI evaluation effort will eventually be expanded to include personnel from eng leering, economics, law and po litical science, Karr explained. Other long-range programs of the institute include the devel opment of research and training in hydrology the study of wa ter cycles and the continued training of scientists and engi neers already working in water resources. of h4 water is often taken for granted, according to.

Smith Bares Proposal fo Up ' BLM Grazing Fees Rep. Robert F. Smith, chair man of the Public Lands Inter im Committee, stated that he hat exoosed Dortlon of a let ter from the Director of the Bur eau of the Budget. Charles L. Schultze. to Secretary of the In- torinr ITi1.il! which introduced a proposal to increase grazing lees on Bureau oi una Man iprment lands to eoual the For est Service grazing fees by 1968. This could mean an increase of 40 over existing fee rates. Rep. Smith quoted a portion of the letter, written on June 25. 196.1 to the Interim Committee at a meeting In Lakevlew No vember 12: Your letter also points out that the Bureau of land Management will submit to the Department later this year, plans for adjustment of fees under sections 3 and 15 of thp Tavlor Grazine Act. It is our understanding that these adjustments would be along tne lines that von and Kermit Gor don discussed with the Presi dent at the ranch last fall. i.e.. raising the Bureau of Land Management grazing fees be ginning with the 1966 grazing year to a level comparable with the Forest Service." Smith stated. "Evidently there are negotiations between the Bureau of the Budget, the Sec retary of the Interior and the President which have not as yet become public knowledge with respect to grazing fees. I would hope that no administrative ac tion be taken by any federal agency with respect to increas ing grazing fees or increasing user fees on campgrounds and recreation areas until the Pub lic Lands Law Review Commis sion has had an opportunity to study the economic impact to the livestock industry, the rec reation industry, the tourist in dustry and the local commun ity. Several economic studies are hpinc conducted In Oregon which will evaluate the impact of an increase in grazing fees, and plans for an increase should be delayed until such studies have been completed. The Pub lic Lands Law Review Commis sion is beginning its activity and will no doubt assign part of their efforts towards a study of the over-all grazing fee struc ture. It would be a disservice to all those communities and peo ple dependent upon the live stock, recreation and tourist in dustries should the President, Secretary of the Interior and the Bureau of the Budget arbitrar ily determine to increase graz ing fees." The Interim Committee on Public Lands heard a number of witnesses discuss the disposition and fee structure of federal and state lands. Rep. Smith is Oregon's repre sentative to the Public Land Law Review Commission which was recently organized, electing Congressman Wayne Aspinall, Colo, chairman. Rep. Smith stated he will re quest that the Public Lands In terim Committee draft a letter to be sent to Congressman As pinall, requesting a complete study of the fee structure on public lands. The Interim Committee will be meeting throughout Eastern Oregon and its tentative agenda includes Ontario in December and Pendleton in January.

Nation's '66 Herd In 'Good Shape,' Says Cattle Head The nation's beef cattle herd will enter 1966 In "better shape than In recent years." C. W. Mc Millan, executive vice president of the American National Cat tlemen's association, said In Portland. McMillan was a speaker at the annual convention of the Oregon Cattlemen's association. "Slaughter of cows and heif ers continues to run large and some reduction In total numbers Is almost assured," McMillan said. The consumer needn t worry about any so-called shortage' because projections Indicate a continuing ample supply In 191.6." he said. McMillan complimented the nation's hundreds of thousands of ranchers and feeders for the "phenomenal adjustment." "By bringing numbers more nearly In line with demand, most cattlemen now will have a chance to pay some bills In curred In 1963 and 1964 and be ready to continue growth to meet expanding needs," he de clared. McMillan, who headquarters at Denver, Colo., said economists were "surprised" that cattle slaughter continued heavy Into the fall In the face of "enthus iastic" predictions for the future. "Actually, It appears that most stockmen remembered the consequences of too-rapid ex pansion in 1962-1963 and vow ed never again to let supply outrun effective demand. It wa3 an expensive, but effective les son," he said. Dr. and Mrs. Archie McMurdo left for Portland on Wednesday for a family Thanksgiving re union.
