Highway Building
Approval Expected
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Albert Gore predicted today that
the Senate Public Works com
mittee will approve a compro
mise bill that would provide for
building upwards of $3,000,000,
000 of highways a year.
He also predicted that the
compromise will not include a
controversial administra
tion plan for financing a sub
stantial amount of the federal
share of the bost by issuing
special bonds outside the public
debt.
The Tennessee Deirocrat is
chairman of a roads subcommit
tee that has been holding hear
ings on three highway construc
tion measures. The subcommit
tee will draft, probably early
next month the legislation which
the full committee will send to
the Senate for its action.
Land Management, Oregon wild
life federation and other groups
took to the ragne around Powder
river and Eagle creek valleys
where an estimated 3,000 to
5,000 animals have gathered.
The group estimated that from
100 to 300 deer had died on the
range this winter.
Proposals Offered
Proposals have already been
offered by the group to control
increasing deer herds, produce
more brush-type forage on the
lowland slopes, and to increase
multiple deer-livestock use of
the winter range.
Game commission officials
said that population control
would probably include a hunt
ing season for either sex this
fall.
The hungry animals have al
ready begun their migration
back toward the forests of the
Wallowa mountains, following
the melting snow line to better
feeding grounds.

Firemen answering a garage

an incorporated fire protection
