EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Tuedar, July 17, 1956
Advisory Board for BLM Tours
Howard Prairie Reservoir Site
Members of the 15 man O and
C advisory board for the Med
ford Forest district during an
all day field trip and business
meeting last week inspected the
site of the 5-mile long. 2-500-acre
lake which will be created with
in 3 years through the construc
tion of the Howard Prairie dam
by the bureau of reclamation as
part of the Talent project.
Members of the board come
from Gkndale, Grants Pass,
Medford and Klamath Falls.
They represent lumber, mining,
recreation and livestock inter
ests, union labor and the public
at large and meet to advise the
district forester for BLM con
cerning the solution of land use
and management problems in
the Medford district.
Five Counties
The district includes Jackson,
Josephine counties and portions
of Klamath, Curry and Douglas
counties.
The Howard Prairie reservoir
site is located south of the Dead
Indian road between Ashland
and Lake of the Woods. The dam
will be a 90-foot hinh earth-fill
structure which will store ap
proximately 60,000 acre feet of
water and create a lake to a
depth of 80 feet at the deepest
place.
Present plans of the bureau of
reclamation indicate that the
fluctuation of the pool level will
vary between 10 and 15 feet dur
ing summer months.
At the request of the BLM
national park service personnel
have made preliminary studies
of three locations on the new
lakeshore which should be de
veloped for recreational use. It
is planned that installation of
minimum recreational facilities
will be made as a part of the
Talent project. These will be
primarily on O and C lands.
Bond Suggestions
The board suggested that the
state highway commission be ad
vised of one particularly well
located recreational site and
asked if they would be inter
ested in it as a unit in the state
park system.
The board is also studying the
possibility of asking Jackson
county to administer the public
recreation area, or in contract
ing it to a concessionaire who
would be directly responsible to
the BLM.
A portion of the lakeshore
will be made available for small
tract leases similar to those cur
rently being offered to veterans
at Hyatt lake. Also, there will be
lake frontage available for or
ganizaiion sites.
Members of the board also in
spected the small tract lease lots
at Hyatt lake and were told that
approximately 100 applications
had been received for the 15
sites which are currently avail
able. Additional Funds
E. K. Peterson, district for
ester, reported that additional
funds made available this fis
cal year for the construction of
access roads will result in a
rapid speed-up of construction
during the next few months.
The construction will involve
an extension of the Galice access
road system and a section of new
rod through the Rogue river
drainage north of Marial. In ad
dition a survey has been com-
pleted on the West Fork Evans
! creek road in Jackson county
and one is scheduled this fall
for the proposed Keno road in
Klamath county.
Peterson also explained to
the board details concerning the
exchange of O and C and na
tional forest lands in order to
simplify administrative prob
lems. The exchange was official
ly completed on June 21. In the
Medford district it involved ap
proximately 156.000 acres of
O and C lands and a similar
acreage of national forest lands
in five counties.
Board members who attended
included Eric Allen Jr., F. I. Bris
tol, O. K. Puckett, A. C. Smith,
L. L. Simpson, chairman, W. B.
Tucker and Ted Wood.
Guests were Hugh Moulton,
Grants Pass, H. E. Geiger, Klam
ath Falls. Judge Rodney Keat
ing, Commissioners Chester
Wendt and L. G. (Shy) Morth
land and Engineer Paul Rynning
of Jackson county, James Gal
Ian, bureau of reclamation, Cole
Rivers, Oregon State Game com
mission, and Professor Dilworth,
Oregon State college.

Amnesty Offered
North Korea Reds
Seoul, Korea (U.R) Presi
dent Syngman Rhee today offer
ed "amnesty" to North Korean
Communist leaders and pledged
to protect those who accepted
against retaliations "by any
foreign power."
Rhee made the offer in a
message to the peole of North
Korea on the occasion of the
Republic of Korea's eighth Con
stitution Day.
He coupled the offer of am
nesty and protection with a
warning that the Reds would
"pay for their crimes" if they
refused to surrender.
His reference to "foreign pow
er" apparently meant Commu
nist China and Soviet Russia.
Rhee warned that failure of
the North Korean Communists
to accept his amnesty offer
meant that "the time will come
when they will have to pay for
their crimes."
"With the entire Free World
supporting our people," he said,
' the means of reuniting our
country will be found.

Bridge Work Slated
Portland (U.R) Contrac
tors building the new Columbia
river bridge linking Portland
and Vancouver said today that
the river level is fast falling to
a point where actual construc
tion on the interstate span can
begin.
A timber walkway along the
west side of the present Inter

call for construction of a sec
ond bridge and reconstruction of
the present span at a cost of $14,

any holds a S6, 681, 840 contract
for construction of the second
bridge, to be located about 30
feet downstream from the pres

Most piers for the new bridge
will be built by digging holes
in the river bed and lowering
precast concrete shells into the
pits. Concrete will then be pour
ed into the shells.

Neuberger Speaks
On Hells Canyon
Washington (U.R) Sen.
Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.),
charged today that if the Sen
ate defeats a bill to authorize a
federal dam in Hells Canyon it
"will mean a reversal of 50 years
of conservation policy."
Neuberger made the charge in
a speech prepared for delivery
in the Senate, which was tenta
tively scheduled to take up ' a
bill Wednesday to authorize the
dam.
An identical measure is pend
ing before the House Rule com
mittee. Neuberger charged that the
Eisenhower administration is
promoting public projects which
produce high cost power, while
leaving better sites for private
development. He called the pol
icy "organized plunder."
House Rules Committee mem
bers said no time has been set
for completition of a hearing on
the House version of the bill.
The hearing opened Friday. A
half dozen witnesses still are
scheduled to testify.
Thornton Sees End
Of Multnomah Probe
Portland '(U.R) Attorney
General Robert Y. Thornton
said today that he expected the
grand jury investigation of al
leged vice conditions in Multno
mah county to end in a "rela
tively short time," but added
that it was not possible for him
to say exactly when.
Portland Police Chief Jim
Pursell Jr., was back to testify
before the grand jury yesterday.
It was his seventh appearance.
District Attorney William
Langley apparently has escaped
questioning by the panel. Thorn
ton said the "grand jury, upon
advice of the attorney general,
has found it inadvisable to have
Langley as a subpoenaed wit
ness." During yesterday's session,
about 10 Portland police officers
were called before the jury, as
the seventh week of the probe
got under way.
FAMILY BIRTHDAY
De Smet, S.D. (U.R) -At least
three members of a family here

26. It is the birthday of both
parents.

Circus Gone Forever;
End of Colorful Era
Comes To Ringling
Pittsburgh (U.R) John Ring
ling North brought down the Big
Top of the "Greatest Show on
Earth" early today for the last
time.
Down with it tumbled a world
of excitement for small chil
dren. And lowering of the mas
sive canvas tent symbolized the
end of a golden era in the his
tory of entertainment.
North doomed the big top of
Ringling Brothers and Barnum
and Bailey Monday with the
announcement that "the tented
circus is a thing of the past."
Remaining Dates Cancelled
He cancelled all remaining
dates for the season and said
the show in the future will be
"an almost completely mechani
cally controlled exhibition." It
will move indoors next year,
into air-conditioned arenas.
Only a small group of spec
tators had turned out for Mon
day's matinee performance. But
after North's dramatic and heart
breaking announcement was
made known crowds surged un
der the Big Top for the final
night show.
A feeling of nostalgiga had
spread through the city. Grown
ups evoked nostalgic visions of
small boys sneaking into the
show under the most convenient
tent flaps and trudging on wet
sawdust past the big cat cages
into the main arena.
But Ringling's words meant
these days were gone forever.
Many Sat on Ground
Many of the 10,000 spectators
sat on the ground in front of
the stands. Others stood on the
sidelines. The final show was
delayed for an hour and a half
to allow spectators to push their
way under the big top.
The circus ended its show
with the usual glittering finale.
Then the band played "Auld
Lang Syne." Ringmaster Al Ta
bor bid farewell to the audi
ence at Pittsburgh and to those
who would have seen one-night
stands across the nation.
As the crowd shuffled out,
roustabouts prepared to lower
the 70-foot-high tent. Guy ropes
were loosened, stakes pulled
and the 21 -ton canvas that
houses the fantasy land of the
"Greatest Show on Earth" was
folded and stored away for ever
Labor Will Discuss
