No Snow Reported at Allhouse, Page Sites Cave Junction For the sec ond month in succession, forest service men, in the snow course check at Althouse and Page mountain, brought back a "No snow" report which might in dicate water shortages here be fore the end of summer. Although March storms de posited some snow on surround ing hills, subsequent rains and warm weather have left the ground bare. In recent years the mountains have rarely been free of snow this early. Conducting the snow course were Dave Chamberlain and Ralph Huber. Snow depth at Page mountain of March 31 1956, was 54.2 inch es, and at Althouse, 77 inches.

Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said today that provision of the 1957 omnibus rivers and harbors bill Grange Notes Gold Hill Grange The Gold Hill Grange held its regular meeting on April 4. Busi ness was conducted by Master Hal Bishop. The minutes were read and approved and committees on ag riculture and legislature gave reports. Alva Walker said that the Grange is now representing the flood control program. New business included a re quest for volunteers to help plant shrubs, trees and flowers around the Grange hall. The committee working on the float to be entered in the Pear Blos som festival by the Grange also made it known that assistance from other Grange members would be welcomed. The master gave two and three year pins to members who have earned them. The lecture hour consisted of the study of Oregon's counties, county seats and industires, and was concluded with a balloon game., A luncheon was served in the dining room. The next serving committee will be Fred Jones and Mr. and Mrs. Kamping. Grange closed at 10:30 p.m. Nellie Miller, Publicity Chairman Suspension of Officers For Violations Approved Salem (U.R) The House has passed 41-17 a bill pro viding for suspension by the governor of public officers in dicted for infamous crimes or violation of ' their oaths of of fice. The vote was over objections of Rep. Berkeley Lent, Portland Democrat, and others that the bill was in violation of the con stitution and an extension of the doctrine of guilt by accusation. Spokane (U.R) Spokane's estimated population as of April 1 was 189,000 persons. might well set a precedent if fu ture legislation is deemed neces sary to reserve to Oregon a share of power from federal dams in the Columbia Basin. Neuberger said he referred to a new section which requires the secretary of interior to allocate an equitable proportion of energy from projects on the Mis souri river "for use in the state where such dam is constructed." Might Establish Pattern Neuberger, a member of the public works subcommittee which drafted the bill, said he agreed to the provision because he felt it might establish a pat tern by which some allocation could be provided for Oregon in the distribution of kilowatts from the Bonneville system. "Now that the omnibus bill has passed the Senate by a de cisive margin," he said, "a pre cedent definitely has been created." Neuberger said that a reserva tion of power for Oregon might be desirable under some circum stances. But he added that .such a proposal had its perils. "Under existing methods," he said, "Oregon is receiving about 25 per cent of energy from the Bonneville power system, while federal projects within Oregon or half on the 'borders of Ore gon make up less than 20 per cent of system installed capacity. In addition, most of the remain ing federal damsites are in states other than Oregon. A strictly geographic allocation of power might help Oregon at John Day but would be to the state's dis advantage if equally applied at such sites as Libby, Paradise and Bruces Eddy, in Montana and Idaho." Could Become Important The best solution, he said, would be "an abundance" of kil owatts so there would be enough low cost power for everybody. He said a geographical divi sion might hurt Oregon at the present time. However, he said such a system could become im portant 'later on, as the pre ference clause acts to withdraw additional kilowatts for publicly owned operations in the state of Washington. 4 CLUB NEWS Wesiside Herdsmen The Westside Beef club re organized March 27 to include the Westside Dairy Club.
