Northwest Boom Sparks Early Settlement to Power Rights By LEROY POPE ' Unittd Press International New York-CPD-A big pio neering boom in the Pacific Northwest is spurring Ameri can interest in pressing for an early settlement of the long dispute with Canada over di vision of Columbia river pow er rights. An agreement in principle was reached earlier this year but the details still have to be ironed out. The agreement represented a victory for Can ada because the United States conceded that Canada was en titled to a substantial share of power to be generated on the American reaches of the Co lumbia in return for the stor age water on the Canadian side. The American need for power from the Columbia has been growing steadily but has become pressing because of a swift widening of the horizons of economic planning in the basin. Money Given Recognizing this, Congress just recently appropriated 52 million dollars for various im provements on the Columbia. According to Col. Paul Symbol, an Army district en gineer in Washington state, the U. S. government may have to spend two billion dol lars for water control on the streams of the Pacific North west' in the next 20 years to keep up with the needs of industry and the many farm ers in the region. Colonel Symbol said the preservation of the Columbia salmon fisheries alone will be an increasing headache in the coming years. Engineers have proven that fish ladders will enable the salmon to come up- Two Men Rescued From Crash Scene Juneau, Alaska - (UPD - Two men were rescued from the 5,800-foot level of Mt. Abbey Sunday after surviving a heli copter crash and seven days in the rugged glacier coun try. A third man died in the crash. The survivors, Robert Sheldon, Spo! ane, Wash., and Melvin Guerrera, Reno, were flown to a hospital here ! after being 'ocated by a heli copter participating in the search. Both were reported in satisfactory condition with no serious injuries. Authorities identified the dead man as Robert Baldwin, address unknown. His body, along with the crashed heli copter, was located at the bot tom of a 200-foot crevasse on Mt. Abbey, which is 115 miles west of here in the Gla cier Bay Area. An attempt to recover Baldwin's body was scheduled to be made to day, weather permitting. Sheldon, a geologist, and Guerrera, the pilot, said they survived the' week-long or deal on I, ".ns ' rations. The crashed helicopter, owned by Petroleum Heli copters of Lafayette, La., was reported overdue last Mon day after it failed to arrive back at its base camp at Dun das Bay. The Coast Guard then launched a full-scale search for the missing crait. All three men were identi fied as employees of the New mont Exploration company. Car, Bus Crash Fatal to Woman Pendleton-flJPD-One woman was killed and two members of her family were injured critically when their car and a Greyhound bus collided hear-on near here late Sunday night. Killed was Mrs. Stella Boyer, 38, John Day. Her husband, Don, 41, and daugh ter Martha, 18, were in criti cal condition in a local hos pital. None of the 26 passengers on the St. Louis-to-Seattle bus was injured. Driver T. L. Williams of Seattle suffered a cut lip but was able to drive the relief bus which contin ued on to Seattle after the accident. The accident occurred near a side street which leads to the Pendleton airport. The bus ended up in a 14-foot ditch and the right front wheel and left side were dam aged. The Boyer car was pulling a horse trailer. One of two horses riding in it were in jured. The injured Boyer girl is a Pendleton Round - Up prin cess. Traffic on Highway 30 was tied up for 20 to 25 minutes by the collision. Temperatures in the U. S. in September are frequently higher -than those recorded in June and July. stream to spawn, he said, but each new dam, nevertheless, causes a great destruction of salmon. The fish scientists and engi neers have not yet solved the problem of keeping salmon fingerlings from being killed when they get caught in the terrific falls of water from the dams. The Army engineers have mapped a 10-year program of experiment and study which they hope will solve the sal mon problem. Demand Created The leaping growth of the Northwest not only is creating a virtually insatiable demand for electric power but an in terest in making long stretch es of the Columbia navigable for barges drawing 12 feet of water. At present, barges can come upstream on the Columbia as for as Pasco, which is about 40 miles upstream from Walla Walla. That means the Colum bia is navigable for 400 miles inland from the port of As toria, Ore. Not long ago a shipment of German automobiles was un loaded from a barge at the wheat belt town of Pasco aft er coming all the way from Hamburg by water. However, the Army engi neers, 20-year-program for the Columbia does not envision turning it into a Pacific ver sion of the St. Lawrence sea way. Before that could hap pen, there would have to be a lot in ore growth in the U. S. Northwest and British Columbia and much agitation for a seaway on both sides of the border. And Seattle, Port land and Vancouver probably would oppose the idea as vig orously as the Atlantic ports opposed the St. Lawrence sea way for years.
