MINNESOTA'S GROWTH Minneapolis (U.R) Minneso ta's 1955 population is estimated at 3,138,872 by the state regis trar of vital statistics, Dr. A. J. Chesley.

Both Sides Get A Laugh There appears to be considerable humor in the fight over Hells Canyon within the Oregon dele gation. At least Congressman; Ellsworth, stalwart cham pion of the private-power interests, declares, in his latest communication to his constituents that remarks by Senator Morse regarding this question makes it im possible for him to suppress a chuckle. The particular item in one of the home letters that so stimulated our Congressman's risibilities follows, quote: "But do not be misled. Don't let yourselves be fooled." It is, we assume, Mr. Ellsworth's contention that Oregon's senior senator is in some way misleading his constituents regarding this important question. In searching around the Ellsworth offering for evidence of this we found the following statement by our congressman, quote: "The Federal government does not make any profit from any power dam." Could this be advanced as a refutation of the claim by Oregon's senior Senator that government power projects don't cost the tax payers anything be cause they are eventually "self liquidating." If so then Senator Morse should also get a laugh. POR while it is true the government does not make a profit from its power-projects, as a private pow er company does in the shape of dividends, it does make money millions in fact said millions being paid back to the US Treasury until the original gov ernment loan is liquidated on behalf of the tax-payers. To claim this is "not making a profit," would be like claiming that a man who pays back a bank loan out of his salary, isn't making a profit. Obviously if he were not mking a profit he could not keep up his payments. CO the debate goes on and on. And it does have its amusing features as well as its exasperating ones. Among the latter Is the reiterated claim that no matter how desirable federal projects may be, there is no chance of congress, as now constituted approv ing them. As the need for more power is critical and time is the essence, the only practical "out" therefore, they claim, is a compromise ship plan, for example, whereby the private company pays for the power construction and gets the profits therefrom while the government pays for the collat eral benefits, such as flood control and transportation improvements, which pay no profits. 1X7ELL, no one can blame the private power com- panies for favoring such an arrangement tak ing the cream while .the tax payers pay the freight and a generous subsidy. DUT how can the private power advocates be so sure that congress would not approve any 100 federal project at this time Hells Canyon for ex ample.? , Only a few days ago the Senate, with the admin istration's approval and support, approved a far larger 100 federal project on the Upper Colorado, which will cost the taxpayers two or three times as much as the Snake river proposal. If Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado can do it, why can't Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, particularly when power can be produced on the Snake at about one third the cost? (XF course the House may defeat the Colorado pro- posal. But to date it hasn't. Certainly the possibility of failure in Congress did not deter the delegations from the -Colorado Basin area from trying. Why should it deter the represent atives of Oregon, Idaho and Washington from doing the same? TTHE point in both cases is whether or not a federal power project will serve the people of the areas concerned better from all angles than any private power or partnership project and at less cost. If this is true then it should be done. If it isn't true then it should be abandoned. The facts should determine the decision, not the wishful thinking of those who oppose federal power on any basis and at the moment on the pretext "it can't be done." R.W.R. Can They Beat Morse? If the above is a fair example of what the strategy of the Republican High command will be a year hence in its effort to defeat Senator Morse then we fear it is doomed to a rude awakening. For if there is one charge against Oregon's senior Senator that can't stand up it is that of "double-talk" any effort on his part, at any place or any time, to "fool the people." fF all the representatives Oregon has sent to Wash ington in its entire history, we believe Wayne would rank first in the direction of absolute candor, frankness and forthrightness. Like all other humans he is not infallible, he has his faults, he makes his mistakes, but he never side-steps an issue, he never equivocates, he never tries to fool anyone, he never fails to take the Deonle all the neonle into his con fidence, and whether they 1 SB m mm m ne never iails to put all his cards on the table and face up. Many don't agree with 'him. But not even his worst enemy we feel sure would deny that there is never any doubt as to JUST WHERE HE STANDS. CO this sort of talk intimating that our senior Sen ator is misleading and trying to fool the people Sunder. May IS, 1955 adoption of the partner agree with him or don't, - Matter of Fact FEELING OUT THE RUSSIANS Washington "Operation Feeling-Out" is now about to begin. The purpose is to test Soviet in tentions to i l n a o u i whether there is any thing real and solid behind the small signs and portents suggesting that the Soviets may actually want a relaxa tion of ten- ... Stewart Alsop sions. "Operation Feeling-Out" is of ficial American policy, duly ap proved by the National Security Council and President Eisen hower. But it should be under stood that it is a testing opera tion and no more. With the long heralded "meet ing at the summit" apparently in prospect, and with optimistic talk suddenly being heard all over the place, a lot of" people are beginning to think that an actual settlement of major East West issues may be in sight. No such settlement is at all likely or at least no informed official believes so. What is apparently in pros pect instead is a long period of "intense diplomatic activity," which means that both sides will go on for a long time sniffing at each other, like suspicious dogs. The meeting at the summit, if it takes place, will be hardly more than a particularly high level sniff.. One lawyer-official compares the meeting to an in troduction between principals in a legal case, before the princi pals' solicitors get down to business. It is no secret that President Eisenhower and Secretary Dul les only agreed to this curious ceremony as an election present to the hard-pressed British Con servatives. Both previously be lieved that there should be a top level meeting only if "Operation Feeling-Out" were a success, and some real area of agreement had first been established. Instead, in order to satisfy the supposed hankerings of, the Brit ish electorate, the meeting at the summit will precede the feeling out process rather than the other way round. The meeting may turn out to be a useful high level sniff. But it is nonsense to supose that a real settlement of major issues above all the German issue could emerge from a few days of guarded talk between the chiefs of state. TNDEED, there is very little ex- pectation that a real settle ment is likely to result even when the solicitor-Foreign Min isters get down to business. The heart and soul of any general agreement would be, of course, an agreement on Germany without such an agreement the cold war cannot possibly , end. And there is no sign that either Russia or the Western Allies are prepared for the kind of drastic policy change a German settle ment would require. For ten years, both East and West have shared a nightmare that a reunited Germany might become allied to the other side. The Russians are not likely to agree to a German settlement which would leave Germany in NATO and American troops on German soil. And this country is equally unlikely to accept any settlement which would leave Germany ostensibly neutralized, with American forces with drawn across the Atlantic. Any such settlement would knock the Western alliance into a cocked hat. . ' There is no visible reason for supposing that any new way out of this ancient stalemate is about to be found. There is, to be sure, a new element in the equation, West Germany, a pros perous nation of 50,000,000 sov ereign again, and getting ready to rearm. It has long been a second nightmare in Washington that the Russians might offer the Germans the sort of deal no German government could turn down.. The formula might be an offer of reunification on the basis of free elections, in return for a German promise to aban don NATO and tell the Ameri cans to get out. The former Ger m a n territories behind the Oder-Neisse line might be thrown . into the pot, to make the bargain more tempting. If the Germans accepted such an offer, or even looked like ac cepting it, this country and its allies would be faced with an enormously threatening crisis. The Austrian negotiations have made this second nightmare par ticularly vivid. The Soviets may conceivably have something of the sort in mind. But always be fore and with good reason they have stopped short of the kind of offer which would really of Oregon on the public vs. private power issue or anything else can't get to first base because it is 100 untrue. And the people of Oregon regardless of party will know it before election day if they don't know it now. - Senator Morse has plenty of enemies, and in next year's election he will have very strong and generous ly financed opposition the strongest the Republican party can assemble but if Congressman Ellsworth's tack is to be followed, on the public-power issue, or anything else, as the spear-head of the opposition, our prediction is Morse will win in a walk. R.W.R. By Stewart Alsop tempt the West Germans. THE Soviet Communist pup pets would be overwhelm ingly defeated in any free elec tion in East Germany, thus pub licly exposing world commu nism as a fraud perpetrated by a tiny minority. The abandon ment of the German puppet would hardly encourage others. The loss of East Germany would mean the loss of important uran ium mines. It would give restless Poland a common border with freedom. For such reasons, if the Russians do make the kind of offer Washington has long feared, it will mark a truly revo lutionary change in Soviet policy. For the same reasons, any such dramatic Soviet initiative is believed improbable. Indeed, most officials doubt that the coming period of mutual sniff ing will produce any great drama at all. Abut the most that "Operation Feeling-Out" might produce is a tacit agree ment not to commit mutual sui cide. But even this would be a considerable step forward. (Copyright, 1955. New York Herald Tribune Inc.) In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Portland has been having a rash of bombing threats one being at a place called Johnny's Tavern, where a message found at the door warned the proprie tor to come across with a pay ment of several hundred dol lars or else! Otherwise, the note said, the tavern would be bombed and its proprietor would be shot. Police say they think it's a hoax. WOULDN'T it be wonderful if people would only follow a GOOD EXAMPLE as readily, as quickly and with as much fun as they seem to follow a bad one? AT THE present moment in his tory, the United States has as its President the foremost sol dier in the world. The business of reducing army, navy and Ma rine corps forces being a purely military decision, I think I'd rather trust Ike's judgment. THIS comes from Japan: Japanese villagers are con tinuing to protest the firing (at practice targets) of American guns on the slopes of Mt. Fuji. The Japanese don't like the idea of guns firing on the sacred mountain. They object, also, to the fact that the shells pass over two trails used by pilgrims on the way up Fuji. I THINK we'd better do our tar get shooting somewhere else. -In these critical days when we need REAL ALLIES WHO MEAN BUSINESS, winning friends and influencing peole is tremendously important. TELLING about the weather in the West, the teletype (which is often an amusing robot) re marked: "A scattering of low pressure centers in the Far West is caus ing rather widespread cLOUSI NESS." The context of the story indicated that it meant to say CLOUDINESS. Let's let it stand. It's accurate AS IS in this freakish spring season in the West. WALL STREET report: The stock market declined today FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT DAY. Losses of one to three points were widespread at noon, but strength was shown by some individual issues. IS THAT good? Or is it bad? It all depends, I think, on your point of view. If you're interested chiefly in the long-term welfare and prosperity of our country, you'll hope the stock market desn't climb too much and too rapidly from here on for a while. If it keeps on going up and looks like it never would come down, it will lead too many peole to quit working and saving and start pursuing the fast buck. If, on the other hand, you're already pursuing the quick buck along the speculative trail, you'll be sure that any break in stock prices is bad. OVER on the other side of the mountains, short-sighted peo ple are doubtless hoping secretly that Public Law 587 WILL force Klamath reservation timber on the market for immediate cut ting, thus precipitating a big rough lumber boom even though such a boom would in evitably be followed by a bust. Those who look forward to the long future DREAD the thought of a quickie boom that would be followed by an inevit able bust.

To the Editor: Is Oregon to emerge from 150 years of medieval waste and destruction? It is indeed good to know that a state-wide effort is being made to bring about at least a semblance of conservation of our forests and other natural re sources. Pledgings and warnings were made through all those years for sane and sound use; but heeded not. UnequaUed, un controlled greed and vandalism raged unchecked. No longer can we fool our selves, or be fooled into believ ing America's forests "inexhaus tible," "Timber-r-r forever--r-r-r," "We'll never run short of timber," and other false slo gans. Had the West Coast Lumber Assn., which includes the Weyer haeuser Timber Co., and a score of other big timber and logging outfits heeded the warnings thru the past 100 years, and es pecially the last 50 years, there'd be no timber shortage now. Had the Federal Govt, and the states exercised the warnings of Pres. Cleveland, Pres. Theodore Roose velt, and America's first Chief Forester, who brought our U.S. Forest Service and National For ests into being, or even if for est conservation urged at the October, 1946 American Forest Congress by Lyle Watts, and through his period as Chief For ester, been heeded by private lumbermen and loggers, the crisis we are now in would at least have been delayed. Gifford Pinchot and some other far-sighted, public-spirited men worked tirelessly to bring about forest practices by which America might have forestry al w a y s, protected watersheds, streams, soil, wildlife, and other resources dependent upon for ests, including labor. Working with Mr. Pinchot, president T. R." called a congress of all state Governors, and oth ers, in May, 1908, to whom he said in part: "We are over the verge of a timber famine in this country and it is unpardonable for the Nation or the states to permit any further cutting of our timber save in accordance with a system which will provide that the next generation shall see the timber increased instead of diminished." Those were the for estry teachings and practices of our first Chief Forester, Gifford Pinchot. ' More power to every conser vation movement that will bring the greatest good to the largest number for the longest time. John E. Gribble, 139 Kenwood ave. It's Skid Road To the Editor G r a t e f u 1 thanks to the United Press or was it the Mail Tribune that de serves the credit for spelling it out, Skid Road, insead of the meaningless term, Skid Row. Can't remember when it was last spelled right as it was in Friday's issue of the Mail Trib une,, front pages, col. 4 next to the bottom item. It would have been good reading to the late ed itors of the Timberman, Geo. M. and Geo. F. Corwall who fought doggedly to have it spelled Skid Road. So has Jim Stevens, col umnist in the MT and other pa pers, also that profilic writer of logging lore, Stewart Holbrook. Just why the Skid Road term was applied to off color or more correctly too much color streets, is hard to know. For the skid road was where the moaning, tongue-lolling ox-teams came dragging the string of logs down the swamped out roadway, crossed with peeled-top logs, greased on the upgrade, sanded on the down, the simplest, best way to get them to the water landing where the big sticks could be handled. How the early settler and log ger wished the big Douglas firs were smaller like trees back east. . For they had to be axed down and into log lengths. That's how come the spring board that enabled a faller to go up two or three boards high so the chips would come out better from the up to two feet or more deep cut. The skid-road term seems to have been born in the roaring days of logging in the Puget Sound area. That was when the big Swede grabbed up the saloon heating stove and hurled it at some heckler but missed and smashed through the front door. This and much more attracted some brainless wonder writer to come out to Seattle and write it all up, using the moron term, skid-row. And the confounded thing stuck, even to this day. Some reason for the skid road term was the fly-by-night saloons and their female satel lites that located on or near long used skid-roads to wangle what they could from loggers on their way out to "celebrate," or as an old timer told me, "to give my brains a rest."

POT LUCK (By M-T Staff and Contributors) The picture above is a scoop. It is the only known existing picture of the pilot of a Martian flying saucer. How it was taken, when the saucer landed, whatever com munications were undertaken between the photographer and the pilot are a secret of pho tographer a Camp White mem ber who wishes to remain uni dentified. The reports indicate, however, that the saucer landed on Table Editorial Comment STATE MEAT INSPECTION he Grants Pass Courier notes that after five legislative ses sions in a row had turned down state meat inspection the recent session, the 48th, set up a pilot program. An appropriation of $75,000 was made which will be supplenmted by fees collected from packers and meat dealers, his will enable the State Depart ment of Agriculture to make a start in inspection of meats for human consumption, a service now performed by federal in spectors only in th efew plants in the state electing it, and by inspectors from some cities. The Courier credits Southern Oregon packers with heading the campaign for the bUl. That part of the state has suffered from dumping of meats that would not pass California inspection. One person who deserves a major share of the credit for this initial elgislation is Mrs. Marie Bos- worth of the Medford League of Women Voters. She gathered petitions, came to Salem with them and lobbied energetically for this consumer protection. Salem (Oregon) Statesman (Editor's note: It should per haps be added that Mrs. Frank Fairweather has been chairman of the Medford league's commit tee supporting meat inspection, and that both Mrs. Fairweather and Mrs. Bosworth have spent a great deal of time and effort, over a period of years, in behalf of the measure.) Coon Says Debate May Not Be Needed Washington (U.R) Rep. Sam Coon (R-Ore.) told Sen. Itich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) Fri day that a debate on "partner ship" development of John Day dam may not be necessary. Neuberger proposed a debate to be staged in Oregon in Sep tember on a bill Coon intro duced to allow private power companies to participate with the government in building the dam. He said Friday the Pendle ton, Ore., Junior Chamber of Commerce had offered to spon sor the meeting. "Senator," Coon wrote Neu berger, "I want you to know that I shall be very happy to meet you in public debate on the merits or demerits of any timely subject. However,' as seems to be your habit, you have pre sumptuously jumped to the con elusion that H.R. 5789 the part nership bill will not have be come law by September." Coon said he had not intro duced the bill for publicity or "facetious" purposes and said he would work "tirelessly" for its passage. Cortisone Flown to Aid Burns Woman . Portland (U.R)' A mercy shipment of cortisone was flown to Burns, Ore., Friday to aid a woman critically ill with an abdominal ailment. The woman was Mrs. Agnes Kennedy, wife of Donald Ken nedy, special assistant to the U. S. Ambassador to India. The air force made the flight. Two relays of Oregon State police and a Boise, Idaho, Red Cross car teamed up Thursday to rush blood from Boise to Burns. The hospital's weekly quota had been exhausted. Mrs.- Kennedy, who returned to Burns to live with her sister, Mrs. Jessie Richey, last week because she found the Indian cli mate unbearable, had been re ported as improving Saturday after receiving the transfusion.

Rock, and the pilot made his way to a neighborhood tavern, after which he boarded the Camp White bus in an hilarious condi tion. We are assured that the Mar tian's resemblance to an oak puff ball is purely coincidental.

We restrain ourselves with with great difficulty, leaving the temptation to the Ouster houts. who can probably do all right for themselves. Maybe he was left over from Easter, and maybe not, but any way, a large gray rabbit showed up Friday morning at Doctor' clinic on West Main st. He (or she) wandered around under the feet of the caretaker, and in and around the clinic all day. One of the girls who works there took him (or her) home Fri day night so she (or he) wouldn't get run over or lost , or some thing. . i It is still unknown where he (or she) came from and if his (or her) owner can identify and claim the rabbit, we have a hunch a bunch of doctors and their helpers would be grateful. With the number of doctors recently domiciled on a cer tain street in a new section of east Medford, the suggestion has been made that the area be renamed "Verde Pills." Butte Falls, May 6, 1955 Potluck Editor: In regard to the stranse nlac names in your column a few days ago, I lived near the town of Ono, Shasta County, Calif., for several years. The story I have heard in regard to naming Ono and Igo was this: "There were several hundred Chinese mining about half a mile from what is now Igo, and evi dently were enjoying a bit of success. A large group of whites were banded together, and de cided to run the Chinese out. One Chinaman was a bit more stubborn than the others, but fin ally he said 'Igo, Igo. Perhaps he and others later started mining near Ono anyway white men decided to run the Chinese out of there too, and one of them said 'Ono, Ono me washee." I assume he decided to run a laundry. As for the other towns, can someone give excuses for towns such as Happy Camp and Hum bug on the Klamath River? Knob, Shasta county, was named for a nob-shaped peak nearby. Also Hat Creek, Shingletown, Shasta county; Fiddletown, east of Sac ramento; Yankee Jim's near Col fax; Rough and Ready near Grass Valley; Shilling (post office), more generally known as Whisky town in Shasta county; Birds Landing near Vallejo (pro nounced Valley Ho); Long Barn east of Stockton; Fair Play, east of Sacramento; Fallen Leaf near Lake Tahoe. Perhaps that will keep Pot luck busy for a few days and provide some food for thought. Respectfully yours, Floyd H. McCabe Fish Packer Wants Central Authority Portland (U.R) An official of one of the Pacific Northwest's largest fish packing concerns Saturday recommended that sol responsibility for management of Oregon's salmon and steel head resources be given th Oregon Fish Commission. Thomas R. Sandoz. president of the Columbia River Packers- Association at Astoria, told th Izaak Walton League In Port land that under the nresent set up jurisdiction over regulation of the salmon and steelhead re sources is divided between th Fish Commission and th Ore gon State Game Commission. He said this divided authority had led to confusion in regula tions and conservation activities. Sandoz called for a return to the original concent which he said was "to center the respon sibility for management of our salmon resource in the Oregon Fish Commission." Morse Requests Hearing On Hillsboro Air Bdse Washington (U.R) Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) Saturday said he has requested the Navy to hold a public hearing at Hills boro, Ore., on the establishment of a naval air reserve training school there.
