Lost Creek Reservoir May Be Operating by 1970 Group Told Lost creek reservoir may be in operation by 1070 or 1972, depending on the range of government appropriations, Henry Stewart, of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland district, told approx imately 150 people attending a Rogue basin project tour Saturday. . The proposed $530,000 in initial planning funds for the Lost creek reservoir at the Uncanny Canyon site in the McLeod area is now before the House public works sub committee and appropriations committee. Standing on the crest of the hill at the Lost creek site, on the road at the Elk creek site, or gazing down a steep can yon at the Applegate dam site it was difficult to imagine the immense size of all three pro posed reservoirs. "In a few years this project will probably be too small to satisfy the water use de mand," G. V. Schirk, chief of projects and reports branch. Three Anti-Castro Cubans Executed Miami - flJPD - Three anti Castro Cubans, described as spies for the United States, were executed in Cuba Sat urday, according to Havana radio.

Bureau of Reclamation region al office, Boise, Ida., remark ed. Stewart said it is corps pro cedure to over-estimate the project cost and underesti mate benefits or multi-purpose use. The corps was too conservative in estimating the recreational use of the Lost creek reservoir. Bigger Than Howard Lost creek reservoir would cover 3,100 acres compared to Auctioning Ends Week of 4-H, FFA Fair Activities The Jackson County 4-H and FFA fair wound up its week of activities with the auction ing of 217 animals Saturday night, plus a pen of six Leg horn chickens and a pen of market rabbits.

This would allow plenty of room for fishermen and water - skiers, Stewart pointed out. The Applegate reservoir area will have 945 acres. Elk creek reservoir op erated as a unit with Lost creek will have too great a draw down for much recre ation use, Stewart predicted. The corps will provide such basic recreation facilities as clearing for picnic area, park ing area, water line and boat ramp. Applegate reservoir, 1 V4 miles north of the Copper post office on the Applegate rd., will have year-around use due to the mild area climate. The Forest Service is basing much of its recreation program in this district around the reser voir, it was pointed out. Current cost estimates are $80 million for Lost creek, $18,700,000 for Elk creek, and $15,800,000 for Applegate. Much of this money will be spent in the Rogue valley, Stewart pointed out. To Use Tunnel The largest dam of the three, Lost creek, will re quire 21 to 22 million cubic yards of rock and gravel ma terial to construct the dam 360 feet above the river level, Stewart explained. As much of the material as possible will be taken from the area near the dam site. The engi neers will use a tunnel and coffer dams to reroute the Rogue river during dam con struction. Siltation will he a critical point and will be care fully watched, he added. Fish passage, spawning bed and hatchery facilities will be operated jointly for Lost creek and Elk creek dams. Details on these facilities are not yet known. Initial planning funds do not include planning for the fishery facilities, Stewart said.

Ban Proposed on Some Drugs in Cold Treatment FDA Order Would Curb Prescriptions Washington - WPP - The Food and Drug administra tion Saturday proposed ban ning more than 50 "cold cure" prescription drugs after a team of leading medical sci entists found that the anti biotics have no effect what soever on the common cold. The proposed order would prevent the certification of prescriptions which include antibiotics in conjunction with analgesics, anti-histamincs, de congestants, and caffeine. It would affect only pre scription drugs taken by mouth. The order also would initi ate regulatory action, if nec essary, to remove from the market analgesics, deconges tants, caffeine and antihista mines when mixed with any other anti-microbial agents, primarily the sulfa family. Action Said 'Major' An FDA spokesman de scribed the action as "major" and said it would affect 50 or more products manufactur ed by about 20 firms. He said that most of the products con tain antibiotics and a few other anti-microbial agents. The proposed order was published in the Federal Reg ister, an official government publication, and gave object ors 30 days to file protests or comment before it can take effect. Under the order it would be illegal to manufacture the drugs specified and they would be unavailable to doc tors. But the order would not affect popular cold remedies sold without prescription.
