State Granger
Opposes Proposed
Merger of Firms
Portland - Elmer McClure,
master of the Oregon State
Grange, told the Portland Re
porter here last week that he
was opposed to the proposed
merger of Pacific Power, and
Light company and California
Oregon Power company.
He claimed the merger
would ". . . make It possible
lor PP and L to get around
the proposed federal intertie
for exchanging surplus power
between the Northwest and
California."
The master further charged
thut the motive behind the
proposal to merge is to profit
from the sale of cheap surplus
Bonneville power in Califor
nia, where power costs more
than in the Northwest.
Expresses Concern
Mcuiure said that his or
ganization is concerned over
the likelihood -of "so much
power" being pumped into
the highpriced California mar
ket that PUDs and REAs in
the Northwest would have no
adequate surplus power avail
able for their local needs.
Copco does not have ade
quate transmission lines for
an immediate intertie, accord
ing to McClure. He maintained
that its lines could be "heav
ied up" through high-voltage
transmission and without a
completely new hookup.
He further contended that
PP and L will have surplus
federal power to sell under
Its 20-year contract with
Bonneville and that California
is hungry for this "cheap"
power.
'Normal Business'
McClure claimed that a pri
vate intertie would not come
under special regulation and
could be managed as a "nor
mal business practice."
The State Grange has urg
ed federal legislation to pro
vide for an Intertie which
would protect for the region
the power supply developed
from the region's own water
resources.
The matter was held up for
additional study In the last
session of Congress at the re
quest of Northwest public
power and other Interests con
cerned about having a stop
valve put on the intertie, The
Reporter said.

Archaeological
Site in Copco Y
Irongate Project
(Editor's note: This fol
lowing story about an arch
aeological expedition from
the University of Oregon
excavating an Indian tribal
site in the Irongate dam
sit along the Klamath liv
er is chiefly the result of
the Mail Tribune's corre
spondent at Hombrook,
Mrs. Kathrine Chapman.)
Copco, Calif. -An archaeo
logical site that is of import
ance because it is oh a three-
tribal boundary in what has
been an archaeological void
In northern California was
discovered and excavated this
summer by a University of
Oregon archaeologist, David
L. Cole.
The site is located on the
Klamath river, 15 miles east
of Hombrook, Calif., where
the California-Oregon Power
company Is building Irongate
dam.
Financed by a grant from
Copco made to the University
of Oregon s department of an
thropology, Cole and an as
sistant, Frank C. Leonhardy,
made a preliminary survey in
the reservoir basin, and locat
ed a series of depressions
which they decided might be
house sites.
Starting -June 11 of this
past summer, they excavated
two of the depressions of
"house pits." Evidence was
promising but they had to
leave the work June 21. When
they returned they found that
in the interim vandals got in
and had destroyed their pre
vious work and had made a
shambles of the site.
They started work again
Sept. 4 and excavated a third
house pit that had not been
too badly disturbed.
What they found was a sue
cession of houses in a single
pit. A series of three or four
floors were uncovered, show
ing successive occupation over
a reasonably long period of
time.
Houses Were Oval
The shape of the houses was
oval with dimensions 20 to 28
feet at the longest part. v
The investigators were not
able to get much of an Idea
of the structure of the houses
except that cedar beams were
used in the construction.
These evidently were used un
til they rotted and fell, or
burned down, they the occu
pants covered the debris with
dirt and a new structure was
built on top. Remains indicate
a relationship between these
houses and those of Indians
of central California.
The artifacts found in the
pits, including p r o j e c t ile
points, scraping tools, drills,
and grinding stones suggest
ing that the Indians inhabit
ing the houses were related
to or had contact with Indians
throughout the area encom
passing the lands from the
coast to east of the Cascades.
Located as the - site is, on
the boundary between the
lands of the Shasta, Klamath
and Modoc Indians, the influ
ence of all three tribes is evi
dent, but the Strongest -evidence
suggests that the inhab
itants of - the old house pits
were of the Shastas.
The bones of such animals
as deer and beaver and of fish
indicate that these foods were
major items of diet with these
ancient peoples. Acorns found
Indicate these also were a
staple.
The excavation sites will be
covered with water when the
dam is completed.
Weyerhaeuser to
Keep Lumber Price
Tacoma, Wash. - Weyer
haeuser Company announced
Thursday that it will maintain
present prices on lumber and
plywood and will curtail pro
duction when necessary to
control Inventories.
Jon. R. Titcomb, manufac
turing vice president of the
company s lumber and ply
wood division, revealed that
production cut -backs would
be under the direction of local
mill managers. The policy ap
plies to the company s pro
duction from sawmills and
plywood plants at Enumclaw,
Everett, Longview, Raymond
and Snoqualmle Falls, Wash.;
Springfield, Cottage Grove
and Klamath Falls, Ore.; and
Areata, Calif.
Titcomb blamed a sluggish
market in home-building for
the new price production
policy. The move by Weyer
haeuser follows recent cut
backs and shut-downs an
nounced by other Western,
lumber manufacturers.
Mill managers were in
structed by the company to
maintain ample inventories in
order to service their lumber
buying customers without de
lay, Titcomb stated.

This Week in California
First Agenda B Test Fails;
Politics Also in Headlines
By United Press International
A new satellite designed to
boost spy-in-the-sky into space
flashed upward from Vanden-
berg Air force base in south
ern California last week. But
minutes afterwards it fell back
into the Pacific ocean.
The first test of the "Agena
B" had flunked.
Scientists, engineers and Air
Force technicians compiled
the scant information receiv
ed from the 25-foot satellite
before it plunged flaming back
to earth over the Pacific some
where off the South American
coast. -,
The launching of the modi
fied Thor first stage went off
without a hitch in one of the
most impressive firings to
date. But about 30 minutes
later Air Force officers said
they doubted the new satellite
had separated from the Thor.
Crimp in Plans
The failure put a crimp in
high-priority plans to develop
series of Midas and Samos
satellites to protect the United
States from surprise attack.
The Midas, using infrared
sensors, would tell intelli
gence agencies that ballistic
missiles had been fired, giving
about 30 minutes notice an
attack was imminent.
The Samos is designed to
take the place of the U2. Its
cameras would scan the earth
below and send back pictures
in detail.
The Agena B has the un
usual ability to be restarted
and maneuvered in space. But
this restart capability was not
to be tested on the first flight.
Political Scene '
Meanwhile, on the state po
litical scene, Gov. Edmund G.
Brown's proposed $1.75 bil
lion water bond Issue also
suffered a setback but admin
istration officials apparently
were not too concerned.
Hired consultants said that
the bond issue, designed to
pay for transporting northern
California water to the south
ern part of the state, was feas
ible with some changes in the
water program itself.
Among the changes was a
proposal that the state find
other means of financing con
struction of huge Oroville dam
across the Feather river in
northern California. The con
sultants said the dam and the
aquaducts to carry the water
could not be constructed at
the same time under the bond
issue.
Harlow: Film director Hen
ry Hathaway was questioned
in Hollywood in connection
with the 28-year-old death of
actress Jean Harlow's hus
band. The investigation result
ed from a magazine story that
the husband, Paul Bern, had
been murdered.
Hunter: A Jury of 11 women
and one man found actor Tab
Hunter innocent of beating his
pet dog. Hunter claimed he
disciplined the dog for dig
ging in his yard. The misde
meanor trial lasted 11 days.
Hepburn: A $50,000 traffic
accident damage suit against
actress Audrey Hepburn went
to trial in Los Angeles Supe
rior court. Mrs. John Paladini,
a 24-year-old actress, claimed
injuries suffered in the acci
dent lost her several impor
tant jobs.
Leaky Tiki: The wreckage
of a raft named "Leaky Tiki"
in which three men hoped to
sail the Pacific ocean was
found at different locations
off the coast of California.
The three Washington men
were missing and presumed
dead.
Suit: The California Real
Estate association and its 18
member board was charged
with unfair trade practices in
a suit filed by Atty. Gen.
Stanley Mosk. The action con-
