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

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.

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.

Portland Weather Bureau re

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.

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.

Bridge Over Columbia
Olympia U.P.) Reps. Al
Henry and Ole Olson yesterday
introduced a bill calling for con

the Columbia river at Biggs
rapids between Washington and
Oregon. 1
The bridge would be con

Washington Highway Commis

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.

week end, there were reports
from Thomasville that he might
go there soon for a week end
of quail hunting on the. planta

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

flexible and self imposed travel
limitation of no more than two
hours flying time from Wash

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.

Lucerne does! And here's the story
Minimum standards for milk are set by law but Lucerne sets its own
special and higher standards. And as a f aimer's milk rqfets or exceed
these standards, Lucerne pays him a bonus for the extra quality.
As a result, the finest milk comes to Lucerne and to you
in quality that is well above legal standards for purity, flavor
and cream-content.
Lucerne can sell this bonus quality milk at no extra charge
because of money saved on distribution. Lucerne has no expensive .
door-to-door delivery costs. Rather Lucerne delivers hundreds of
quarts at a time to stores only.
The money Lucerne saves on distribution goes to get the
"Bonus Quality" milk. That's why-though it costs more at the farm
Lucerne's Bonus Quality costs you no more than any other milk.
