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.
