Recent Ruling on Hatchery Is
Latest Episode i n Controversy
The recent ruling of the
Federal Power Commission,
ordering Pacific Power and
Light company to construct a
fish hatchery at its Iron Gate
dam on the Klamath river,
was the latest episode in
controversy between the pow
er company and the Califor
nia Fish and Game depart
ment, dating back to 1918,
the EPC reviewed in announc
ing the decision.
PP&L's predecessor, Cali
fornia Oregon Power compa'
ny, built two hydroelectric
power projects on the Klam
ath river just south of the
Oregon state line.
Copco No. 1 was built in
1918 and Copco No. 2 was
completed in 1925.
Since the dams were too
high to permit fish migration,
California Oregon Power built
a hatchery at Fall Creek, a
few miles downstream, con-
veying the facility to the state
in 1918.
Fith Trapping Facillli.
In 1925, the power company
constructed fish trapping fa
cilities and an egg collecting
staion, also conveying them
to the state. The department
operated the Fall Creek hat
chery until 1948, when It was
discontinued as uneconomial.
Both Copco projects oper
ate at peak load facilities,
with alternate storage and re
lease of large volumes of wa
ter, the FPC noted. Opera
tion of the dams caused severe
changes In downstream river
levels, with detrimental ef
fects on fish downstream, the
FPC said.
In 1950, the California
agency filed a suit against the
power company to enjoin the
abnormal water fluctuations
as a continuing public nuis
ance. Enter Into Agreement
Following long negotia
tions, the power company and
the department entered Into
an aggrcment on July 27,
1950, providing that the pow
er company would build and
operate the Iron Gate project
principally as a regulating
dam. The power company
agreed to build fish trapping
and egg collecting facilities
according to plans approved
by the state.
The question of the need
for a fish hatchery at the
dam was reserved for future
determination. The Iron Gate
Day was completed in Jan
uary, 1962.
On Aug. 21, 1961, the Call
fornla fish and game depart
ment filed its petition re
questing the FPC to order the
power company to construct,
operate and maintain the hat
chery. PP&L's answer deny
ing the need for a hatchery
was filed Sept. 13, 1961.
At the conclusion of the
hearing and at the request
of the examiner, the parties
met and agreed to the speci
fications of the hatchery fa
cilities which would be built
If ordered by the FPC.
Claim Hatchary Not Needed
The department had re
quested that the commission
require PP&L to pay the en.
tire cost of operating and
maintaining the hatchery.
PP&L claimed that no hat
chery was needed, and that
if one were required, It should
not have to pay to construct,
operate and maintain it.
The commission staff had
proposed that the operating
and maintenance costs be
shared equally by the two
parties.
The Federal Power commis
sion said that since PP&L
"created the situation which
necessitates the fish hatchery,
it is no more than reasonable
to require that it pay the cost
of construction."
Pay Some of Coils
Continuing, the FPC de
clared that for the same rea
son, Pacific "must also be re
quired to pay a substantial
portion of the operating and
maintenance costs.
Otherwise, it was pointed
out, "California taxpayeri
would have to assume the
burden for expenses arising
from a situation where PP&L
could have taken an alterna
tive course of action."
The commission was not con
vinced, however, that PP&L
should pay the entire oper
ating and maintenance costs
of the hatchery, since the
benefits received by Califor
nia from the construction of
Iron Gate surpassed the pri
mary objective of returning
conditions in the river for
maintenance of anadromous
fish to those which existed be
fore the dams were construct
ed.

Faith Y. - How can she
throw herself away on an ig
norant fellow?
Xathryn C He has an enor
mous native Intelligence. I
respect him.
Faith Y.-Kltty has a Ph.D.
degree in English Literature,
while AI is only a factory
hand. It's true he's unusually
good-looking, but that's not
enough on which to base a
marriage. Yet thats what
Kitty talks of doing. She in
troduced Al to my husband
and me, and we found it hard
to talk to him. We tried base
ball; he doesn't understand the
game. We watched wrestling
on TV; it didn't interest him.
With Kitty's education and
brains, what do they have In
common?
Kathryn C. - Timing and
world history were against
Al. He's a studious type and
would now hold advanced de
grees, too, except that at 14
he had to flee the Nazis. He's
35 now, and scll-educatcd.
Faith wonders what we have
in common. We love poetry,
and Al reads it in several lan
guages. I don't know baseball
scores either. But Al is well
read, bright, and a stimulating
companion. It's easy for me
to love him.
a
The Council: Having warn
ed Kathryn against the star
dust which Al's charm and
handsomeness may have flung
in her eyes, Faith must from
now on bite her tongue. It's a
cliche, but a wise one, to urge
similars to marry. Yet all
around us we find compatible
"dissimilars" who defy the
statistics. Why? Because they
are united on the important
factors: goals, values, enthusi
asms. Given a normal world,
Al's course might have paral
leled Kilty's. The difference
between them is a forced one,
whereas the resemblance is
a natural one. The only prob
lem we can envisage would
arise if one should ever, in
pique, attempt to "diminish"
the other. Kitty must try ex
tra hard to keep Al from
feeling inferior. He isn't. And
both he and she - even with
the Ph.D. - must never slop
growing.

Monkey Is Bored io Dth
While Lion Lit ConUnl.d
Contrary to what some soft
hearted folks believe, the ani
mal pacing to and fro in the
cage, frantically walking
from one end of the enclosure
to another, is really not try
ing to get out. It wouldn't
have any place to go if it did.
It is merely trying to exer
cise its muscles. It is a crea
ture that, in the wild state, is
far-ranging and naturally
restless. Instinctively it feels
that it must be in motion . . .
must keep its muscles in per
fect condition toward that
time when, once again, it will
roam free and far.
The restless ones, the con
stant pacers in the cage, are
those which must seek safety,
food or a mate by traveling
far and constantly. They are
duplicating, in the cage, their
actions and locomotion in
their natural environment.
Next time you feel sorry for
the caged creature as it paces
from one side of its cage to
the other, stop and think
about the habits of that par
ticular animal. You will no
tice, if you are at all familiar
with the species, that the wolf,
fox, coyote, hyena and some
of the other carnivores are
the restless ones. They are
the creatures that travel con
siderable distances in the
wild stale.
Crave Exarcii
In captivity, they still react
to the impulse of movement.
They want to get their regular
exercise, keeping their bodies
always in trim, for that time
when once again they will
wander far and wide.
An exception to the wide-
ranging carnivore is the so-
called king of Deasts ' , . .
the lion. This animal seldom
paces; he is content to remain
quiet . . . almost lazy and in
dolent. The only time the lion
exerts himself is when he is
hungry.
Even if he decides to move.
he will do so with consider
able dignity slowly and with
a majestic haughtiness. The
lion probably suffers least
from being in close confine
ment. Members of the monkey
clan probably suffer most
under confinement, yet sel
dom does the visitor to the
zoo ever waste a thought or
sympathy for these ' little
creatures.
They act so cheerful and
are usually so active and, to
all outward appearances, hap
py and perfectly contented.
May B Wretched
Yet their plight is often
wreteched. Being naturally
alert and highly intelligent
the monkey-folk know they
are prisoners, and resent it.
The little guy who may be
a picture of despondency over
in one corner of the cage may
be so bored with his enforced
confinement that he actually
deteriorates in both mind and
body. He may even worry
until his mind becomes de
ranged and he becomes a
hopeless idiot. A monkey can
actually be so bored, and suf
fer so terribly as to die of
boredom.
Viewed through the bars of
the cage, the primates - those
animals nearest to man in
build and mental development
may try to be naoDv and
cheerful, or may even "put
on an act" for the amusement
of the audience. All the while,
the "actor" may actually be a
hopelessly frustrated monkey.
Being mentally alert and
intelligent is a decided dis
advantage to the imprisoned
creature of God.

RESULTS!
Neivspaper Advertising Scores
More Sales than Other Media
The nation's local advertisers invested $2.7 billion in newspapers last year.
That's six times as much as they spent in radio, nine times as much as in TV,
three times as much in newspapers as in all other major media combined!
Herman C. Nolen, president of McKesson & Robbins, Inc., puts it this
way: "We at McKesson feel that if you place an advertisement in a news
paper the result is-something happens. You get action."
If you want action, if you want results - use the daily newspaper.
