Klamath River Water Bill Introduced by Coon, Engle Klamath Falls Speedy au thorization by Congress of the proposed compact between Ore gon and California over the use of the Klamath River for irri gation and power, was promised Friday with the introduction of a bill by Rep. Sam Coon (R) of Oregon asking consent of Con gress, for r- negotiating the con tract. Passage of the bill, according to Rep. Coon, will clear the way for discussion of future use of the: water -which flows from Oregon 5into California. Coon worked "with the Oregon Klam ath River Commission in pre paring the bill. Rep. Clair Engle (D) of Calif ornia, whose house interior committee will take up the mat ter, also introduced a similar bill. The bill would permit a com pact to be drafted and submit ted to the legislatures of the two states. It would need congres sional ratification to become effective. Th Cnnn hill nrnvides that the President will appoint a rep resentative of the federal gov ernment to participate in the ne gotiations and report to Con gress. It also provides that any compact worked out will not become law until ratified by both? the state legislatures and lower Coffee Prices Expected in Portland Portland (U.R) Coffee indus try spokesmen said here today a devaluation in Brazilian- cur rency may result in a drop in the price of wholesale coffee of from 8 to 10 cents a pound dur ing the next several months. However, spokesmen said such a drop might not be no ticed too much by the consumer because many stores have been selling coffee under cost as a loss leader. WEATHER By United Press Northern California: Mostly fair but occasional light rain Eureka north. the Congress. Coon introduced the bill at the request of the Oregon Klamath River Commission with whose officers, Nelson Reed, chairman and James Kerns, vice-chairman, he had conferred. Both are from Klam ath Falls. Coon was urged this week by Oregon's state engineer, Lewis A. Stanley, to try to obtain enactment of the authorization bill so that the compact may be drafted and placed before the legislators during their current session. Most Klamath Basin irriga tion, present and potential, is in Oregon, while most hydroelec tric power developed and left to be developed, is in California. As the river is further develop ed Coon said, the rights to the remaining water will need to be divided between the two states. Coon disclaimed any political inference in the fact that the bill's two sponsors are of oppo site parties. His bill declares the intent of the proposed compact to be to apportion the water rights of the Klamath River and its tributaries, including Lost River, between the two states. "There is ground for more ir rigation development in Oregon, from the Klamath and more in California," Coon, said, "and there is a lot of power potential on the river." A meeting, tentatively set for February 9 in Salem, has been called for a conference between Stanley, Oregon state engineer, Robert Bond, assistant engineer for the California-Klamath Riv er Commission, Allan G. Bird, special legal counsel for the California-Klamath River Commis sion, a representative from the office of Robert Y. Thornton, Oregon state attorney general and representatives from the California and the Oregon Klamath River Commission. Slated to attend from here will be James Kerns, vice-chairman of the Oregon Klamath River Commission or George Stevenson, Klamath Falls, mem ber of the commission. TAUtUS APR 2!

Heavy Winds Lash North Part of State By UNITED PRESS Widespread power failures were reported last night as brisk, 50 to 60 mile per hour winds whipped through Oregon from the Columbia river to Salem. Portland Weather Bureau re ported gusts up to 51 miles per hour, while the Columbia light ship was tossed about by 60-mile winds. Astoria, Gearhart.and Seaside were blacked out by the winds, which knocked down power lines at the Clatsop county air port. Minor outrages were re ported in Portland.

Last of Union Vets Nears 108th Birthday Duluth, Minn. U.R) Spry old Albert Woolson, the drum mer boy who lived to be the last of the Civil War "Boys in Blue," will celebrate his 108th birthday Friday under orders not to talk about the war between the states. His daughter, Mrs. John Ko bus, issued the "no war talks" order. "He getsjtoo excited when he talks about the war," Mrs. Kobus said. "It isn't good for him." She also will discourage him from shoveling snow on his birthday, as he did for several years up to 1954. Aside from Woolson's ten dency to get excited when he talks about the Civil War, Mrs. Kobus said his health was as good as a year ago, maybe better. 4 Who says' I can cjet Union Pacific Rail Strike Called Off Pocatello, Ida. U.PJ A strike against Union Pacific railroad by conductors and brakemen was called off last night and a union officer said the matter had been turned over to the federal mediation board. H. W.

Tuesday, February 8, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVElf Back Stairs: Ike's Remarks for Sale shadows which would otherwise' be present because the special lights aim down on him. -. By MERRIMAN SMITH -United Press White House Writer Washington U.R) Backstairs at the White House: When President Eisenhower made his inaugural address in 1953, he had no idea that within two years the text of his re marks would be selling for $3.50. A Worcester, Mass., publisher, Archille J. St. Onge, has brought out a limited edition of the Ei senhower inaugural address in the form of a miniature book measuring 1SA by 2V2 inches. St. Onge had the book bound in London. He felt that the Pres ident's inaugural speech and the prayer preceding it were the most powerful words Mr. Eisen hower probably would ever utter. The Worcester publisher, re ports that among his . best cus tomers hdve been members of the White House staff. Press Secretary James C. Hagerty keeps one of the little volumes on his desk at all times. The people of Thomasville, Ga., were right in their hunch that Mr. Eisenhower would visit 87 Proposes Toll Bridge Over Columbia Olympia U.P.) Reps. Al Henry and Ole Olson yesterday introduced a bill calling for con struction of a toll bridge across the Columbia river at Biggs rapids between Washington and Oregon. 1 The bridge would be con structed in cooperation with the Washington Highway Commis sion, Klickitat county, Wash., and Sherman county, Ore. It would be financed through .the sale of bonds and would become a free bridge after the bonds were paid off. them shortly. When the Presi dent was in Augusta, Ga., last week end, there were reports from Thomasville that he might go there soon for a week end of quail hunting on the. planta tion of Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey. At the time, members of the White House staff were un aware that such a trip was in the works. Barring a new inter national crisis, Mr. Eisenhower will spend this next week end at Humphrey's handsome plan tation.. The trip to Thomasville will not s t r et c h Mr. Eisenhower's flexible and self imposed travel limitation of no more than two hours flying time from Wash ington.. The White House points out that the two hour limitation was not meant to be precise, but "about." The flying time in the chief executive's Air Force plane probably will not be much more than two hours. The desk behind . which the President stands at his filmed press conferences is now cov ered with a large, bright yellow blotter. It serves to reflect the movie and television flood lights up into his face, relieving II TJfflGniGP Thousands of people who travel regularly pre fer Hotel Plaza.
