SIX-lMEDrOHD (OREGOW) MAIL TRXBTJKS Wednesday' AptU 1SS3 Power Production Loss of Funds for Of Hell's Canyon Dam Ice Harbor Dam DisDured bv Foes Blow to Hanford Waqhineton OJ.F0 Oppon ents of Hells Canyon dam called on witnesses Wednesday to dis pute Reclamation Bureau figures on power production of the pro posed project. Bureau officials have told a House reclamation subcommit tee that the dam on the Oregon Idaho border would allow pro duction of more than 300,000 kilowatts of power at down stream plants. To Present Evidence Rep. Hamer Budge, R-Ida., a member of the subcommittee, said Jack C. Stevens, Portland, Ore., consulting engineer, would present evidence that the bureau fieures are too high. Also scheduled to testify, Budge said, were H. V. Sharp, Filer, Ida., a director and former president of the Idaho State Reclamation association, and Blaine Hallock, Baker, Ore., at torney. The present president of the reclamation association, Charles Welteroth, told the subcommittee Tuesday that the organization represented 00 per cent of the water users of Idaho and was on record as opposing the pro ject. Charaes Denied Weleroth denied a charge by some backers of the project that the association's opposition was influenced by the Idaho Power. Co. The company has plana for lower dams along the Hells Can yon reservoir site. The company contribu tes money to the association, he said, but only "on the same basis as other businesses do. He said its contribution last year was S450. Gov. Len B. Jordan of Idaho said irrigators in his state want to "dry up" the Snake river by the time it reached the Hells Canyon site. "That's our goal, and we recognize no limitation on that goal," he said. All Idaho irrigation develop ments on the river are upstream from the dam site. Jordan said present and future needs for the developments should take prec edence over use of the water for power production at Hells Canyon. Edge Taken Off Flood Possibility Burns, Ore. (U.F9 While high water in the Burns area diminished Wednesday, a stream forecaster said that recent flood ing has tended to take the edge off the possibility of new floods. W. T. Frost, Oregon snow sur vey leader, said here Tuesday at the 17th annual irrigation committee meeting that stream forecasts for the main John Day river at Prairie City and the North and Middle forks were all new records. -But, he said, melting of snow in mountain foothills, which caused recent floods, has cut down the danger of further uncontrolled inunda tions. In the Harney Basin, Frost said, the snow cover has broken all previous records. He report ed that the overall snow cover in the area was 91 per cent above average. Pigeon Follows Don Everywhere He Goes Birmingham, Ala. (U.R) In the nursery rhyme, Mary had a little lamb. In real life, Don Teague has a little pigeon. Don thought he came to a friendless town when he moved here from Arlington, Va., but a pigeon which he named Butch decided the youngter should not be lonely. Shortly after Don ar rived here he was riding on his motor scooter when he noticed a pigeon winging above him. The pigeon soon followed Don everywhere he went, like Mary's lamb. Royal Canadian Mounted Po lice motto is not "they always get their man" as popularly thought The slogan is "maintain the right." Washington (U.R) Rep. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wask said Wednesday that elimination from an Army civil functions appro priation bill of an item for Ice Harbor dam in Washington jeopardizes the operation" of the Hanford atomic works. House Tentatively Agrees The $5,000,000 item to start construction of the dam was re moved from the bill by the House Appropriations Committee last week, and the House agreed tentatively to the elimination late Tuesday. Jackson also protested elimi nation of funds for The Dalles project and a cut in funds for Chief Joseph dam. He said the cuts would intensify a power shortage in the Pacific North west. If elimination of the Ice 'Har bor item stands, Jackson said, power production at the Snake river project will be delayed at least from 1956 until 1957. Jeopardises Operation "... This delay jeopardizes the ODeration of the Hanford atomic works," he said. "The Ice Harbor dam is but a few miles southeast of Hanford." "Hanford now is solely de pendent for electric power upon a single line of supply which comes to it from Grand Coulee dam, more than 100 miles away. The Hanford works must have a continuous and large supply oJ power." Unless Ice Harbor is started. he said, the Atomic Energy Com mission probably "will insist on spending approximately $60,' 000,000 or $70,000,000 for a steam plant which must import combustible fuel from other re gions." SCIENCE CHARTS FLIES Charleston, W. Va. tU.B Atomic weapons have been thrown into the battle against horseflies here. The health de partment is injecting radioactive isotopes into flies to determine how far they travel. Geiger counters do it. - Dm Mail Tribune Want Ad Ashland Plans for a conser vation program to be held at Southern Oregon college next week have been completed, it was announced today by Dr. H.
