Suez stuff:
Stocks dropped an estimated
2Vi billion dollars in quoted
value in trading on the New
York stock market. International
oils' were hardest hit and showed
the least comeback when the
market tried to steady itself
shortly before noon.
("International" oil comes
largely from the Near and Mid

around the southern tip of Afri

delivery.)
THERE was a time in history
of the world when war was
regarded as good for business
especially FAST BUCK business.
Those days are gone. Every
body knows now that war is bad

THE day's dose of politics:
Harold Stassen continues
his anti-Nixon campaign today
with charges that the vice-president
has evident weaknesses as
a vote-getter among labor, mi
nority and independent voter
groups.
He might have added that
Nixon is EXCEEDINGLY weak
among dyed-in-the-woot Demo
crats. They look upon his as too
popular among voters generally,
and would like to get rid of him.

camp at a forestry project near
Eureka, and road blocks set up
in the area failed to catch him.
He was sentenced in Trinity
county in December of 1954 to
a term of up to five years and he
had a prior felony on his record,
but his behavior had been good
enough to win him a chance at
honest labor in the great out
doors. He WASN'T good enough, and
skipped out when nobody was
looking.
THERE have been a lot of es
capes from these honor
camps, where convicts do useful
labor in the national forests and
the state parks and other public
enterprises, and are paid wages
in addition to their board and
lodging.
The percentage of escapes,
however, has been surprisingly
small, and I hope the state of
California keeps the honor sys
tem going. Suppose some of
them do take it on the lam. May
be few will think it over and

Talent Project Plans
Talked at Roundtable
Walter . Hoffbuhr, secretary
manager of the Talent Irriga-1
tion district, discussed plans for
the Talent project at tiie Jack
son County Chamber of Com
merce roundtable luncheon yes
terday in the Jackson hotel.
Hoffbuhr explained that the
present irrigation system is un
able to provide a uniform
amount of water to about the
10,000 acres under irrigation
Last year, Hoffbuhr said, the
irrigation system provided about
12 inches of water per acre and
this year will provide about 12V4
inches per acre. When the new
Talent project is complete, he
said, the system will irrigate
about 5,000 additional acres.
Diversion Sites
Hoffbuhr-said the new Talent
project will operate with diver
sion sites situated on several
creeks which divert water into
collection canals. From collec
tion canals, he added, the water
will be directed into the Howard
Prairie Collection reservoir and
then delivered through a long
canal to the pover house.
The 15,000 irrigated acres
will receive a uniform amount
of water, he said. Emigrant res
ervoir, located below Howard
Prairie reservoir, will be used
for flood control as well as stor
age, Hoffbuhr pointed out. He
said the Emigrant reservoir will
be enlarged five times its pres
ent size and will be designed to
relieve the pressure on the low
er Rogue.
Hyatt reservoir will be used
for supplemental storage only,
he said, and will be practically
full, or static, all the time1. He
said the bureau of land manage
ment is planning sites for sum
mer homes on the banks of both
Howard Prairie and Hyatt reser
voirs. Cost of the Talent Project will
be about $21,000,000, Hoffbuhr
said. He pointed out that $96,000
will be utilized for fish and
wildlife: $350,000 for flood con
trol; $356,000 for recreation;
S12,000,000 for irrigation; and
$8,000,000 for power features.
Financing Project
Hoffbuhr continued that wa
ter users will have to pay for
about $5,810,000 of the project
costs. Power costs should be paid
or in about 41 years, he said.
The total cost of the project
should be paid for in about 53.9
years, he commented.
After completion of the proj
ect water users will receive
about 2.6 acre feet of water for
irrigation, Hoffbuhr said. This
is about twice as much as they
have been receiving, he said.
Water, users will be assessed
about $10.75 per acre, he point
ed out, which is about the same
as they are paying now.
Hoffbuhr stated that bids have
been opened on the Deadwood
tunnel which is the first feature
of the Talent Project to be con
structed. Next summer, he said,
construction crews will clear
the area for the Howard Prairie
reservoir and will start con
struction on the dam the follow
ing summer. Completion of the
Talent Project will be in 1962,
he said.
Answers Questions
In answering questions on the
project, Hoffbuhr said prospects
for diversified crops will remain
about the same: He said about
$4,000,000 of the cost will be
used to expand present facilities
in the Talent Irrigation system.
The Talent Project will re
main under government control
for the 53.9 years allotted to pay
for the project, he explained.
Then the control of the project
will return to the Talent Irriga
tion district, he added. The gov
ernment will have permanent
control of the power house, he
concluded.
