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.

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.

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.
