SIXTEXJf MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, April 28, 1937 Former Reclamation Commission Head Endorses Rogue Project Washington, D. C. (Special) Need for the Rogue River Basin project was termed "critical" by Michael W. Straus, former rec lamation commissioner arid an interior department assistant secretary.' who commended Rep. Charles O. Porter's "action and energy" in advocating the proj ect. Congressman Porter has an ounced his intention to intro duce a bill to authorize construc tion of the remaining features of the Rogue River Basin reclama tion project , i Excerpts from the letter from Straus follow: ' "Your action and energy in connection with the opportunity to achieve for your area a full and comprehensive multiple purpose development of the Rogue River Basin was most re freshing and pleasing to myself. eng Familiar "Over the years as a Recla mation Commissioner and an In terior Department Assistant Sec retary, I have long studied and been familiar with the Rogue Basin opportunities and possibil ities and on numerous occasions discussed them publicly and privately with the citizens of the area. It is my conviction that in the Basin there is an almost un paralleled opportunity to achieve highly - beneficial basin -wide multiple purpose development. In fact, the benefit-cost ratios worked out officially over the yean show a higher proportion of benefits to costs in the Rogue Basin than in any other compar able basin with which I am fa miliar in the country. "What has been needed for so long is a representative from kt area who could bring this fntter before the Congress for otion. That representative has apparently now arrived in the person of yourself, but it prob ably is in order for me to advise you that the task will not be simple and easy. There will be lethargy if not outright opposi tion by the administration, which has neglected its responsibilities in the Rogue for the past five years. "Whatever the os t ensible cause for such neglect may be and whatever the palpable ex planations for administration paralysis may be offered, I have reason. to know that before you are through with this matter you will find that the actual ob jections are truly based on the administration's allergy too re source development that hap- Lea Motors Showing New Rambler Rebel The new Nash Rambler Rebel is now on display at Lea Motors, Fifth and Bartlett sts..

I think you are familiar with that situ ation. "I am mindful of your deter mination to see that fish, wild life and recreational possibilities are fully protected and in fact enhanced in any legislation you may sponsor. This of course is a matter of public policy in which we are in full agreement. As this matter proceeds you will be confronted with the task of sep arating the real and sincere groups devoted to recreational fish ' and wildlife development from those masquerading in such garb who are actually op posed to this basin development for other special interest purposes." Residents May Have Survey To Solve Drainage Problem Officials of the Jackson Coun ty Health department have urg ed residents having drainage or surplus water problems to con tact the department for a survey of conditions and possible solu tions. To those interested vm mosqui to control, officials recommend ed reading an Oregon State col lege agricultural experiment sta tion bulletin entitled, "Sugges tions for Mosquito Control in Oregon." The bulletin is avail able at the experiment station and at the county agent's office. Bulletin Quoted Following is a quotation from the bulletin: "Since mosquitoes require wa ter for- their development, any procedure that eliminates stand ing water will reduce mosquito annoyance. Elimination of breed ing areas includes ditching, dik ing, filling, leveling, brushing, clearing and control of lrnga tion water. Many swamps and tidal flats can be successfully ditched and drained' to eliminate mosquito breeding permanently. Ponds and low de pressions can often be drained. "The cleaning and straighten ing of meandering streams and partially filled ditches should be a part of any mosquito control program. In irrigated sections, good leveling, proper use of wa ter and quick removal of excess water are essential. Water must remain in a pond or ditch or on the land for a week to 10 days during midsummer, and slightly longer earlier in the season for a brood of mosquitoes to have time to develop." - ' The mosquito hazard is becom ing worse every year, officials stated. In view of the fact that use of chemical control is of limited value, it is suggested that a program of permanent control be developed immediately. Such a prDgram would have support marshes, of the health deparement, county T COEDS SHOW INDIFFERENCE . Richmond, Va.
