iov. Hatfield Opposed to Federal -Sigh Dam on Snake River Salem, m - Gov. Mark Hatfield told the U. S. Senate public works committee Thursday in a statement he is opposed to federal construc tion of the high mountain Sheep Dam on the Snake river between Oregon and Idaho. - Hatfield said he opposed "authorization and construc tion of high mountain Sheep Dam, or any dam, by the fed eral government, when pri vate Industry is ready, will ing, and able, to construct the identical dam and integrate its operations into the federal and non federal dams now existing in the Columbia river basin at no cost to the tax payer. " The statement was present ed for the governor by Tom Murray, Public works consult ant to the department of plan ning and development, in Washington, D. C. Members of the Pacific Northwest Power Co. are seeking to build the dam. At the same time, Hatfield called for approval of four federal flood control projects in the Willamette Valley: Strobe Creek on the McKen zie, Gate Creek Dam on Gate Creek, Fern Ridge Dam on the Long Tom river and Cascadia Dam on the South Santiam river. The four projects are in cluded in an amended U. S.

The report, reviewed and changed several times since 1958, is being stud ied by Congress for possible authorization of power and flood control projects.

Pre-Enrollment Plan At SOC Clarified Ashland The new pre cnrollmcnt program started this summer at Southern Ore gon college has caused some apprehension to prosepective freshmen, college officials have announced. This was brought to the at tention of the college admin istration, which hopes to clar ify the matter. The pre-enrollment program was designed to aid incoming students by relieving tension caused by many new students enrolling at one time, officials said. Although more than 400 students have pre-enrolled, there are still places available for students who can qualify to the normal requirements needed. Orientation Week for in coming freshmen begins Tues day, Sept. 18. Regular enroll ment begins for new and old students, Friday and Satur day, Sept. 21 and 22. The last day to register without pen ally for fall term classes is Tuesday, Sept. 25. Any person registering af ter Sept. 25, but before Mon day, Oct. 8, will be assessed late enrollment fees. The last possible day for enrollment is Monday, Oct. 8. Any student desiring to en roll at SOC this fall who has not started enrollment proce dures should contact the reg istrar's office as soon as possi ble, college officials said. private and public funds." He said private construction of the dam would assure a supply of power to private utilities in Oregon. He said since Washington has a larger number of public utilities than Oregon, Oregon private power companies are at a disadvan tage in a power shortage as public utilities have first call on federal power. The governor said h e agrees with the engineers' major water plan in so far as it provides increased water and flood control. But, he said he is "displeased" that two navigation projects have been dropped from its recommenda tions, i They would make the Columbia-Snake navigation pro- Power Company Takes Fight To Congress Washington - HOT - An of ficial of the Pacific Northwest Power company Thursday car ried the company's fight for the High Mountain Sheep Dam to Congress. Kinsey M. Robinson, com pany president, told a Senate Public Works subcommittee Con gross should reject a recommendation by Interior Secretary Stewart' L. Udall for federal construction of the Snake River dam.. jeet 14 by 250 feet at mini mum regulated water flows and would extend navigation to Rock Island Dam in Wash ington. The added navigation facili ties can be justified, he said, by the fact that river tonnage has increased after every ma jor navigation improvement. Hatfield termed the Colum bia system of dams "not a well-balanced system" at the present time. He said greater amount of storage for flood control regulation and hydro electric power is needed as well as the "enhanced facili ties for navigation, conserva tion, recreation ard reclama tion which will result from major dam developments. He said, "we realize that we cannot have the maximum power supply potentially available from the Columbia river system and still have the maximum conservation of its fishery resource." That is why, he said, he favors the Mountain Sheep project over near-by alternate Ncz Perce dam sile. The Sal mon river, a salmon and steel- head spawning area, empties I above the proposed Nez Perce I site and below the proposed Mountain Sheep site.
