V 1 Fanlp Pninf Pptirfonf Favnrc Bnnim Development Project In Statement Eagle Point, Jan. 19 Argu ments concerning the proposed development of the Rogue basin, under the bureau of reclama tion's "Plan A" continue to be heard in this area, which would be considerably affected by the construction of the dams and ir rigation waterways provided for under the proposal. Latest to make public his views on the matter is C. R. Broughton, route 1, box 258, Eagle Point, who said today that "I, like many of my neighbors, am 109 per cent for the reclama tion's Rogue river basin pro gram, and especially the Lewis creek dam project. Broughton continued: "I have been for a number of years a resident of the upper Rogue river valley, owning river frontage property one mile be low Shady Cove, known as 'Broughton's Park on the Rogue,' where I reside. I, li'-.e many of my neighbors, am 100 per cent for reclamation's Rogue basin Erogram, and especially the ewis creek dam pioject. "In the first place I want to see a flood control program to protect my property against flood. I have seen great damage to my own and my neighbors' property, fine land and beautiful trees (including 200 feet of beau tiful trees from my very own beach) washed out and down the river. One neighbor south of me lost fine garden soil, a building, beautiful trees and his tractor to this old river in flood stage not too long ago. Stop Wait Water "An other reason I am whole heartedly supporting this fine development is to see enough of this wasting water, which runs by my place daily, stored up in the winter and released down the river in the summer when the salmon have such a hard time getting over the shallow riffles and shoals on their way up the river from the ocean. "At my own beach is a fine salmon hole, one of the best in this section, but many of these salmon, after fighting their way this far up, are bodily bruised and scarred, weak and half dead. Many of 4he tourists who visit my place complain about this and the generally poor fish ing in the Rogue river. I say, give us the dams and the fine lakes behind them, stock them properly along with the streams and we will have a fisherman's paradise, to say nothing of the fine hunting and other recrea tion they will furnish us, right here at our door. Many Com Her "Many of my friends and neighbors have come to this val ley since I have lived here. I have seen it grow, double and multiply by leaps and bounds people buying lots and acreage, building such nice little homes and stores and businesses. And many more will come, and you can't stop them. We can't tell people they can't come here. But what we can and must do is to provide more irrigated acres and farms from our fine soil, much of which only awaits the proper storing and distribution of this wasting water to provide a good livelihood for several To Buy New Delivery Horse For Carrier Boynton, Owla., Jan. 19 (U.R) Lavern Trussell, 13-year-old newspaper carrier. Is so popu lar with his customers that they were chipping in today to buy him a new horse. The horse he rode on his de livery route was killed In highway accident Christmas eve Lavern's arm was broken. While his two brothers have been delivering the Muskogee Daily Phoenix is his absence. left-handed Lavern is learning to throw papers with his right hand. hundred additional families here in our fine, fertile valley, with added prosperity and security for all of us. "And, with the added electric ity from these dams, will come to us more industry, more jobs for these new neighbors, more of the blessings of life for all of us. And for all of these bless ings I say no matter what the formula for repayment is or isn't the cost is mighty small. Materials Her "God, the Creator, has given us here, in our own beautiful valley, the water, the canyons to carry it, the ideal locations for reservoirs to hold it, the cement sand and gravel to build the dams so that with only our own initiative and labor we can avail ourselves of all these blessings and prosperity. Who can be shortsighted enough to deny us this our due? And if, to carry out this program, it becomes nec essary for me to give up my fine piece of river property for the good of my southern Oregon neighbors then I say take it in the name of progress and pros- naritu all INTRODUCTORY OFFER- ib)DIgll Enjoy this healthful breakfast treat fer Vi cent per serving To invite your trial of this superior new Carnation product, your grocer is offering it for a limited time at just HALF normal price!

Rogue River Club Hears Report On Projects Of City Rogue River, Jan. 19 The Women's Civic club held the first meeting of the month on Janu ary 13 at the club rooms, despite the heavy snow storm that kept many members from attending. Mayor Fred Denglar addressed the meeting on future projects for the club and ways In which it could work with the city gov ernment in improving and beau tifying the city. Mayor Denglar gave a report of the excellent progress made by the water de partment and explained why in stalling of water meters would be beneficial to home owners and that it would assure an even pressure of water adequate for fire fighting throughout the dry summer months and would pro vide a steady revenue for opera tion of the city. It would also help detect leaks and wasting of water, he said, and thus be an economy both to the city and the taxpayers. Building Must Wait Questioned by a member of the club regarding the proposed bond issue to build a new school, Mayor Dengler stated it was, in his opinion, impossible to bond for enough to build an entire new school building, and there fore the old building must be used for a few years and new units be built. But, he added, he was opposed to building of the new units on the west side of the highway and for the coming few years have a part of the lower grade class rooms on one side of the highway while the gym in which pupils play during the rainy weather, their cafe teria -and other class rooms are on the opposite side of the high way in the present location.
