Medford people gave the municipal water system expansion program a hearty "aye" m Friday's elec tion and water commission and other city officials are understandably gratified. OF COURSE, there were two other important city maacui'aci rtn tl-is Viollnf thn fil'fl rlonartmpnf. lm- iiimavuvo VJll vile ua.iuv n.v, fc v . ... v .... provement, and fire department special levy which probably helped to bring out a substantial vote for all three. It must be recognized, however, that the water improvement question received the handsomest ma jority 3,934 to 552 and that such a vote constitutes an emphatic mandate to the water commission to speed the new line in to Big Butte springs, install the necessary mains, and make more city water available to homes within the municipal area, with some for the fringe sectors where it is so much needed. e e e PROM the standpoints of health, dependability and 1 convenience, there is no substitute in these parts for Big Butte springs water. The springs, fed by snow fall on Mt. McLoughlin, deliver a never-failing supply of the purest water to be found any place in all the world. The only problem has been the cost of building pipe lines to the source. Now that the people have authorized the self-liquidating bonds to overcome this problem, let's have the water for our fast growing neighborhood as quickly as engineering "id construc tion factors will permit. E.C.F. Beetles and Earwigs The recent importation of beetles to fight St. Johnswort weed in Jackson county is another case of man employing bugs to fight his battles. Fifteen col onies, totalling 75,000 adult beetles were distributed in nine Oregon counties this month as pail of a long range control program for the weed. THE Oregon State college agricultural experiment ! 1 1 L 1- 1. At- .1 - e station project, is aesigneci co naic me spread ot St. Johnswort on range lands by allowing the beetles to devour the weed. The small green beetles feed ex clusively on St. Johnswort while ignoring other plants in the same field. It is expected that the beetles, which were col lected in Humboldt county, California, will be present in large enough numbers to control the Jackson county pest within three to four years. In Humboldt county the beetles were starving as they had eaten up all of their favorite weed. Entomologist L. G. Gentner of the Southern Oregon branch experiment station here aided in collection of the parasites. Use of beetles as a control for St. Johnswort was developed by Australian scientists. They discovered the species now being used in France and tested them against a wide range of crops. The beetles were im ported into California where they have proved suc cessful in practically eradicating the damaging weed. e e e e A BOUT 12 years ago earwigs threatened to take " over in Medford yards and gardens. The loath some, persistent and fast multiplying little bugs were into everything and the usual poisons, sprays and other weapons brought little relief. Actually, it seem ed that the earwigs grew bigger and more active when supplied with some of the supposedly lethal diets. Entomologist Gentner had a hand in that fight also, helping to importing from Portland thousands of earwigs into whose bodies a parasite had been in troduced.

As soon as it has discovered one, the fly lays an egg close to it. The egg quickly hatches a tiny larva, the latter attaches itself to the earwig, gnaws its way into the insect's vitals and the cycle of life continues, a case of: "Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'm, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum." e e e e A LTHOUGH the eradication of earwigs through " use of the parasite sounds somewhat involved, considerable success has been noted here as the para site lays about 10 eggs to the earwig's one. There are fewer earwigs in the areas where the parasitized bugs were liberated while in the suburban and rural areas where the parasitized specimens have not yet pene trated the pests have flourished exceedingly.

Washington, Mav 25 To most Oregonians, Celilo Falls is that world famous tourist attraction on the Colum b i a river where the In dians spear salmon. But to the small band of M i d-Columbia Indians who live in the shadow of the aae-old fishing grounds Celi lo Falls is their livelihood. With this in mind, it is easy to see why this little minority of vanishing Americans are on the warpath over the possibility of having their ancestonal fishing rights curtailed. The controversy now raging was brought about by some legis lation sponsored by Rep. Lowell Stockman of Pendleton. He re cently introduced a bill which would give the federal govern ment specific authority to regu late fishing rights at the falls. Exclusive Rights Originally only a limited num ber of Indians from the Uma tilla, Warm Springs and Yakima tribes fished at Celilo Falls. Of this group there was a small number of the fishermen who permanently resided at the falls, By accepted tradition, these permanent residents had the ex clusive fishing rights. They had fisrt choice as to fishing spots, and were, in effect, the official managers of all fishing at the falls. Then came the automobile and the high priced salmon market. Indians from all over the West flocked to Celilo Falls to fish. They came from such faraway places as Alaska. Canada ana even Mexico. This high influx of fishermen raised some vexing problems ol law and order, sanitation, use ol fishing sites and types of fish ing gear. Indians Acted As Boss In the past, these problems were dealt with by the Indians. The Indians permanently resid ing at the falls acted as ihe boss ex-officio, with the assistance of an arbitration committee which they had voluntarily set up. It was composed of members from the Yakimas, Warm Springs, Umatillas and Mid-Columbia group. But with the huge influx of Indians from all over the West, the problems which have de veloped are beyond their con trol. The local authorities feel that it is a federal problem. The federal authorities, however, feel that they lack jurisdiction to deal with the matter. The Stockman bill is designed to remedy this. It will give the federal officials some medium of policing the fishing grounds and still protect the fishing rights of the Indians. The big controversy over the bill centers around the fishing rights. lo provide a means of regu lating the fishing rights, the Stockman bill would set up a nine-man committee composed ol three Indians from the Yakima, Umatilla, and Warm Spring.-, tribes. This committee would be given legal authority to enforce its decisions. Equitable Method 1 lie bill seems to provide an equitable method of preservinc the rights of the local Indian.' well as providing an eouit able solution to the problem. Hut there is one small minority who feels that the bill com pletely deprives them of the an cestorial rights. To the permanent residents at the fall the Mid-Columbia grout) the Stockman proposal is rank heresy for it does not give them any representation, as a group, on the Indian arbi tration committee. They feel that the fishing site actually be longs to them. The answer given them is that the Mid-Columbia group has no official legal status in the eyes of the Indian bureau. That agency maintains that the Mid Columbia Indians helnng to one of the three reservation tribes which will make up the com mittee. The Mid-Columbia members argue that they may be legally members of those other tribes but actually their group will not be given fair representation on the committee. They feel that as permanent residents of Celilo Falls, they should have the high est priority in the fishing site. Member Sent East This small minority of Indians were so incensed over the Stock man plan that they took up a collection and sent John Whiz, one of the members of their group, back to Washington to put their case before congress. The ultimate outcome of their plight is highly conjectural. John Whiz did. however, make a favorable impression upon the lawmakers. It can be reported that there are some legislators who feel that the Mid-Columbia group has a strong case.
