Snake Withdrawal
Action Postponed
Salem-flJPD-The state water
resource board Friday voted
to delay for one month any
action to withdraw waters of
the Snake and Imnaha rivers.
The action came after a
fish by-pass canal designed to
carry migratory salmon both
upstream and downstream and
completely around the short
Imnaha arm of the lake be
hind a proposed 670-foot high
Mountain Sheep dam on the
Snake river was outlined to
the board.
Pacific Northwest Power
company said a fish screen
capable of handling the entire
flow of the Imnaha river
would be installed in the
stream at the upper end of
the 9-mile arm to assure that
all fingerling salman headed
downstream are directed into
the canal and safely around
the proposed dam. ,

Ogreish Cougar
Fails to Foil
Lass With Lens
Terry Turner, a resident of
Gold Hill and a sophomore at
Crater High school, is as fond
of cats as the next person, but
even if she'd have had a
saucer of milk handy she
wouldn't have stopped to feed
the one she saw on a mountain
trail recently.
Terry said she had taken a
hike on the seven-mile Boy
Scout trail near Gold Hill to
take pictures of snow scenes
and had paused to aim her
camera when she heard a
deep growl behind her.
She said she glanced over
her shoulder and saw a cou
gar lying about eight feet
from her in the shelter of
some underbrush. The snarl
ing animal had its teeth bared,
Terry said, but made no mo
tion to charge.
Nearly Frozen
Trying to act nonchalant,
while nearly frozen wth
fright, Terry said she con
tinued to whistle, aimed her
camera at the scene she in
tended to take and snapped
the shutter. Then, still trying
to show unconcern, she walk
ed slowly to a point some dis
tance from the animal before
breaking into a run. She told
her grandmother, Mrs. Har
riet Elliott, that she probably
broke all speed records for
that two or three mile section
of trail back to town.
Terry added that not click
ing the camera at the cougar
itself, at that short range,
might have saved her from
being attacked, although she
admits a portrait of the ani
mal would have been undis
putable evidence to back up
her story. The cougar has
been known to charge human
beings when cornered.
Seen, Heard
A resident of Gold Hill re
ported seeing a cougar recent
ly on the hill behind the
Ideal cement plant and a
woman said she heard what
she thought was the cry of a
cougar early one morning,
which seemed to come from
the hill north east of town.

New Loading Tong
Invented in Lebanon
Logging equipment dealers
of southern Oregon are ex
pected to start handling a
new type log-loading tong in
about 30 days, R. F. Jenkins,
Lebanon, inventor of the
tongs, has announced.
The "Doroy" tongs, Jen
kins said, has the same func
tion as other tongs, but differ
in that they are operated by
the loader operator rather
than a second man specifically
for that purpose, thus elimin
ating a safety hazard responsi
ble for many accidents.
Jenkins, who has been in
the logging business for 15
years, said the idea for a
"safer and faster" loading
tong had been worked out
over a number of years.
Opening and closing the
jaws which grip the log is
controlled by a single cable
while the lift is made by a
second cable.
All operations are conduct
ed from the cab of the loader,
Jenkins said.
Capaciy of the tong built
on an experimental basis is
a 42 inch log, he said.
