(UPD-One of the earliest smoke - filled rooms in American political history stands intact in this small town, 23 miles east of Cleveland. .-; . :' A ' one-room farmer's cot tage was the. national head quarters ' of the Republican party 80 years ago- It was the campaign office of James A. Garfield, elected 20th Presi dent, and it was only a few steps from the porch, from which he made his speeches. GOP bigwigs crowded into the single room headquarters on the night Garfield was elected. Irrigation -Wafer ; Outlook Better Portland - IUPD - Oregon's 1961 irrigation water supply outlook is reported improved because of greater-than-aver-age snowpack increases in most portions of the state. , The Soil Conservation Serv ice said forecasts of expected stream-flow . in the April-to-September irrigation season had been raised 5 to 20 per cent.', It said the outlook was now "fair" to near "average" ex cept for the following areas where "short" water supplies are apt to hold the outlook to "fair" - only: Crooked River Ochoco, Lost River - Gerber, Drew Creek-Lakeview, Silvies and Silver in Harney Basin, Malheur River and Owyhee. Water supply forecast meet ings arescheduled Thursday in La Grande and Bend, Fri day in Canyon City and Klam ath Falls, Saturday at Burns and Monday at Medford. Earthquake Felt Off California Berkeley, Calif.-(UPD-A fair ly strong earthquake, appar ently centered in the Pacific Ocean off the northern Cali forna coast, was recorded Wednesday night on the seis mograph at the University of California. Seismologist Don Tocher said the temblor occured 225 miles northwest of Berkeley. It hit at 8:05 p.m. (PST) with a Richter magnitude of 5. Project Mohole Attempts To Unlock Earth's Secrets Washington-(Science Serv ice) - U. S. scientists are now deep in a large-scale drilling project designed to unlock the secrets of the earth. Drilling a 560-foot deep bite out of the ocean floor more than two miles beneath the wind-swept surface is a major feat In itself.. However, the tests off the Mexican coast are only a prelude to poking a hole through the earth's outer skin into its unknown interior. Dubbed Project Mo hole, the hole would yield material now unobtainable containing information about the earth's history and inner structure. Ultimate goal of scientists is to bring to the surface a sample of the earth's mantle, a dense plastic-like material underneath ,the earth's crust. For the first time scientists would then have evidence to shatter or confirm some of the present theories of the earth's interior. All that is now known is by indirect evi dence. Dividing Lin Seismic waves have told scientists there is an irregu lar dividing line separating the earth's crust from the underlying mantle, which is known as the Mohorovlcic discontinuity, or Mono. It was named after the Yugoslav sci entist who discovered that earthquake waves suddenly increase in velocity when they pass through this boundary. ;.- Below the 1,800-mile thick mantle, the earthquake waves reach the earth's core. The core is supposedly composed of iron and nickel. ' , The earth's crust is a thin, slag-like veneer of light gran itic rocks averaging ten miles in thickness. Scientists believe the crust, w i t h its jagged peaks and . valleys, "floats" over deeper plastic material. The Mohole cannot be drill ed on land, because the weight of the continents has pushed the mantle to a depth averag- Rocket Launching Partial Success Washington -OiPD-The civil ian space agency Wednesday launched a rocket experiment to gauge winds and tempera tures in the upper atmosphere, but reported it was only "par tially successful." ' ' A Nike-Caj un rocket was fired from Wallops Island, Va., with a 60-pound payload of scientific devices. The rocket reached an altitude of 71 miles as planned. A dozen explosive charges in the payload were to be ejected and detonated at in tervals from 20 up to 60 miles. But the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said electronic gear in the rocket failed to transmit In formation on how the devices worked. The shot was partially suc cessful, it said, because in struments on the ground were able to determine that at least seven of the charges were detonated. Scientists hope to calculate temperatures and wind be havior at the explosion alti tudes from studies of the smoke and sound. FISH GETTING ULCERS Fishy Facts Brought Out During Hearing by House Subcommittee By DICK WEST . Washington -IUPD- If you've been looking for someone to fill you in on the latest de velopments in the ichthyologi cal world, I'm your man. . I can tell you, for instance, that studies being carried out under the auspices of the In- .' terior Department have deter mined that certain fish have ulcers. I also can inform you that experiments in the artificial cultivation of bivalves have been so successful that they may lead to the creation of commercial "oyster farms." And, if you still thirst for information, you might be in terested in knowing that one of the problems of underwater warfare is how to find sub marines that are hiding be hind schools of fish. These are a few of the fishy facts that hooked my attention as I was reading the testi mony taken by a House ap propriations subcommittee at hearings on the new Interior Department budget. Talk About Seaf cod The Interior Department has jurisdiction over just about everything that flies, swims or crawls, and there was, consequently, a lot of conversation about seafood. One of the more fascinating programs the department is sponsoring, at a cost of $527, 000 during the next fiscal year, was described as "re search on fish migration over dams." I'll admit that doesn't sound very fascinating. But when I tell you that it involves build ing elevators for salmon, per haps you will find it so. Half of the research is di-r-led at finding some way to build big dams in the Pacific Northwest without interfering with the right of a salmon to swim upstream to spawn. The other half is directed at finding ways for the baby salmon born upstream to get downstream to the ocean with out bumping into a dam or getting lost in a reservoir. Conducts Tests The Bureau of Commercial Fisheries has been testing all sorts of elaborate equipment, such as "fish ladders" and locks, or elevators, that might enable salmon to surmount high dams. In the experiments,, "sal mon ascended a f ishway equiv alent to a mile in height with out evidence of fatigue," Don ald L. McKernan, the bureau director, told the subcommit tee. But, he said, in 'actual prac tice "the highest dam we have successfully put fish up over and back down is about a hundred feet." A Long Way To Go Since one of the dams pro posed for that area would be 700 feet high, you can see that the bureau has a long way to go. As for the baby salmon, Mc Kernan said one of the most promising methods of guiding them safely past dams "is through the use of electric screens which divert them into bypasses." Although the two subjects were not connected in the tes timony, it occurred to me that problems like this may be one of the reasons that fish are getting ulcers. ing 20 miles, very difficult to drill. Scientists ha ye a good chance of reaching the mantle underneath the buoy ant oceans where the crust averages only five miles in thickness. The world's deepest hole was 25,340 feet below the surface, or nearly five miles, barely denting the earth's crust that shields the hidden mantle. Information from the Mo hole would solve such prob lems as whether the magnetic poles have wandered through out geologic history or wheth er the planet ts becoming hot ter or cooler. Geophysicists C . kidney 'n meat liver 'n meat chicken meaty mix chopped fish SECTION .MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1961 will be able to estimate the density of earth's material all the way to the earth's center from samples of rock taken deep in the crust. And the age of the earth's crust and mantle will no longer be in doubt. Few Yean Off Although the actual drilling of the Mohole to pierce the mantle, is still a few years off, preliminary- test drilling rfluta i to enow underway, will yield wealth of scientific Informa tion. Already, drills have gone through the ocean sediments called the "most fabulous his tory book of all time." Core samples taken from the ocean's bottom ooze and layers may reveal an uninter rupted record of the earth's development for two billion years. . Somewhere, burled under tons of sediment, is the earth's original face, dotted by a lay er of ancient meteorites that fell from the heavens many eons ago. , Whether or not the Amer icans beat the Russians in the race to earth's inner space is a moot question. Although the Russians claim they now have the necessary equipment to reach the mantle, U. S. scien tists do not know whether the attempt is being tried, because the Russians are not talking. : However, U. S. scientists are not waiting for an answer but will soon start another test hole, even deeper, through the ocean bottom sediments. lTAM Pal STAMP5J wit give f stamps! ISTAMPSl stamp?
