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."

An Island Universe
Br J. 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!
