TWO MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Wtdnndar. Jn. 10, 1943 KLAMATH RIVER DIVERSION PLAN CONSIDERED ANEW Yreka, Cal., Jon. 10 (U.FO Engineers of the U. 8. bureau of reclamation have indicated In formal discussions with Siskiyou county farmers that the bureau is considering diverting water from the Klamath river into the Sacramento river, it was report ed today. M. V. Maxwell, Siskiyou county farm advisor, said the engineers were arranging for a public hearing on the proposal project in Klamath Falls, Ore., within the next few weeks. Max well in turn said he will call meeting of farmers at Montague, Cal., to discuss the plan prior to the Kiamatn raus meeting. Talked Before Maxwell and Roy E. Swlgert, secretary of the Montague irri gation district, believed that the proposal may be a revival of the so-called old Marshall nan whereby a enna! was to have been dug between the Klamath and Sacramento, for irrigation purposes. The abandoned canal route ex tended along the foothills skirt ing Willow and Bogus creeks and Goose Nest mountain. A new proposal would re-route the ca nnl around the footslopes of Mt, Shasta and then into the Sacra- mento river near Weed. The re ported plan, unconfirmed by any official government source, en tailed a xravity flow of Klamath waters into the Sacramento along the east side of the Siskiyou mountain divide. This water then presumably would be di verted into the lake created oy Shasta dam as part of the power resources of the central valley water project. ...... ' ' Codoo Opposes O. G. Steele, vice-president of the California Oregon Power company announcing that his firm would fight any plan to di vert Klamnth river waters form their present course, said an alternative plan may be under consideration by the bureau. Topography indicated, he said, that a feasible route for a Klamath-Sacramento canal would be through the Lookout country di rectly to the Pit river, thence emptying Into the Sacramento. Stelle said diversion of water from the Upper Klamath would "reduce- the power output of all installations - served by the California, Oregon Power com pany, which derives power from Copco lake near the California Oregon border."

Hugh Pru.tl Astronomer, General Extension Division, Univ. of Oregon How far can one see with this telescope?" is often asked by observatory visitors, Let us counter with, "How far can one see without optical instruments of any kind excepting a pair of good eyes!" Along the earth's surface we may observe hills, mountain ranges end snow peaks at dis tances of 10, 60, 100 or more miles, depending upon the clar ity of the lower air. The strato sphere balloon, Explorer II, reaching 1S.7 miles altitude In Its ascent from Rapid City, South Dakota, en November 11, 1B3B, enabled its passengers to see 330 miles in every direction. Even the curvature of the earth was evldont. When looking into the sky, we see the moon a few hundred thousand miles away; the sun and planets, millions of miles But the fixed stars send their light to us across the Immense space of trillions of miles. If our eyes are good they will re ceive light from "far beyond the stars," entirely past quadrillions and from quintlllions of miles of almost eternity. At this time of year around 7 p. m. there is almost directly overhead an ob ject that Is four qulntllllon miles from us. This object Is so in conceivably far away that its light, traveling 186,000 miles a second, is just now reaching us flight night after 700,000 years of across an immensity of and nothingness. This Is the great Andromeda galaxy, another immense star system far outside our own gal axy of billions of stars, and sometimes called an island uni verse. If the air Is very clear and you are well shielded from artificial lights, you should see this far away wonder, which will appear as a very small and faint hazy patch, about like the head of an indistinct comet. This Is the most distant object your unaided eye can see.' Until 20 years ago the An dromeda galaxy and numerous other similar objects were thought to be members of our own star-system. Although It looked like a nebula, the spec troscope showed its light was that of stars. The huge 100-Inch Mt. Wilson telescope and mod ern photography finally resolved It into millions of the tiniest of pin-points of stars. Recent meth ods of space-measurement reveal Its renl distance. Look for this at your first opportunity. Its reality is overwhelming!
