Impoundment Set
At 4,600 Acre Feet
(Continued from Page 1) bursable costs based on pay
The reservoir would be be-fments from irrigation over a
hind an earth-fill dam, and ! 50-year period, to begin after
would have a 4,600-acre-foot; le" Pfd f devflop-
impoundment. Most of
would lie in section 25
ment, and that financial as-
i sistance sufficient to retire the
of i portion of reimbursable costs
it
township 36 south, range 1 i lying beyond the water users'
west TO, southeast of Eagle
Point and northeast of Eagle
ford. The tip of tne lake would
be in section 36. and the di
version dam would be in sec
tion 30.
While the preliminary plans
are complete, the project will
have a long way to go before
construction can start. It has
the recommendation of the
regional office of the bureau
of reclamation, but it must
also be approved at the Wash
ington level before it can be
presented to Congress.
Once authorized by Congress,
detailed planning could begin,
and construction started after
initial Congressional appro
priations are made. This could
be anywhere from one to four
years, depending on the degree
of support the project receives,
and the willingness of con
gress to approve it.
Irrigation, Recreation
The project would have
neither flood control nor pow
er bencfit5, and is classed as
an irrigation and recreation
project.
It has been reviewed by the
U.S. fish and wildlife service
in consultation with the Ore
gon state game commission,
and the service's recommenda
tions are a part of the favor
able report. The national park
service also has approved the
proposal, and has made recom
mendations for limited recrea
tional development. The Army
engineers have been consulted,
and have no objections to the
project.
The report recommends a
repayment plan for the reim-
repayment ability be made
available through net power
revenues from the Green
Springs power plant.
Part of Original Plan
The project is a revision of
a part of the original plan for
development of the Rogue
basinf of which the Talent pro
ject is a part), but the report
points out that, its construc
tion would not preclude de
velopment of the river if other
segments of the basin plan are
ever put into effect.
Sexton said that the board
of directors of the district, and
the landowners in the area,
are strongly in favor of the
project.
Two Drivers Cited

TPJHEN SPORTS WRITERS are together long enough, the
" conversation inevitably drifts round to reminiscences of
the great Ring Lardner. A Chicago baseball writer thinks Lard
ner's most memorable crea-
tion was the stranger who
bobbed up at the wedding
of a drug tycoon and Hugga
Much, an Eskimo beauty
queen. The stranger turned
out to be the electric chair
tester at Sing Sing, whose .
duty consisted of sitting in
the chair just before an exe
cution, and telling the elec
trician whether the current
was just right or a teentsy-
weentsy bit too strong.
In 1893. a printer named
Humphrey O'Sullivan had an
inspiration. He invented the "rubber heel" to make walking easier.
Some time later, observes Sam Himmell, a designer of women's shoes
had an inspiration that proved even more successful. She invented
"high heels" for young girls so they wouldn't be kissed on the fore
head. C 1939. by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by Kins Features Syndicate.

Application (or Impairment Granted
An application of W. H.
Daugherty Lumber company,
White City, for authority to
impair standard railroad
clearances at a loading dock
and shed has been granted by
Public Utility Commissioner
Jonel C. Hill.
Hill also granted the White
City Terminal and Utility
company, which operates
switch engines in the White
City industrial area, to oper
ate over the tracks under con
ditions of impairment.
The building and trackage
which serves it were con
structed during World War
II, Hill noted, and because of
the emergency conditions
existing, no attempt was made
to comply with state regula
tions regarding impairments.
Hill said the impairments
are of such a nature as to be
almost impossible to correct
and do not constitute an un
due hazard to the utility com
pany's switching operations.
A recent investigation by
the commissioner's staff dis
closed the unauthorized impairments.
