A MAJOR ramification of the Klamath fuel
problem is b developing shortage of hogged
. th Klamath Heating company plant,
which supplies neat to most oi
the business district as well
as some school buildings and
residential structures.
The heating company people
have been working frantically
against the impending shortage.
but at the present writing ap
pear to have exhausted all
oossibilities except a partial
conversion to some other type
of fuel, such as fuel oil or j
coal.
fnnsMpration has been given
to shipment of hogged fuel from distant points,
notably Albany, where some fuel has been
located. OPA has indicated willingness to co
operate in such shipment with a subsidy, such
as was given for cord wood for individual use,
but the railroad company is reluctant to move
hogged fuel in open cars through tunnels be
cause of a fire hazard. There are a lot of tun
nels between here and Albany, and unless this
problem is ironed out, use of the 2500 or so
units (about 30 days supply) from Albany will
be eliminated as a possibility.
Conversion to coal or fuel oil can be
effected rapidly mechanically but may bring
some problems in obtaining priorities and sup
ply. It would bring a substantial increase in fuel
costs, which likely would be reflected in rates.
So much of Klamath Falls depends upon the
heating company plant that a solution must be
found to the problem. One advantage of con
version to oil, incidentally, would be elimination
of the unpleasant "black snow" insofar as it
originates in the heating company plant.
Not Only Here
FUEL shortage here, resulting from increased
population and decreased supply from local
mills, is paralleled in a number of other com
munities which are known as lumber centers.
We are told that the situation in Tacoma,
Bellingham and Anacortes is serious. There has
been a heavy movement of fuel wood into
Everett, one of Washington's major lumber
centers, under an arrangement similar to that
effected here. Portland's fuel problem is acute.
The coal supply here appears to be ample
so far, while wood is short. This Klamathite,
who has what was known as a wood furnace,
partially converted to coal this year and finds
it most satisfactory. Others with similar equip
ment might find it worth while trying.
Folkes Case
LAST-MINUTE efforts are being made to save
Robert E. Lee Folkes, the negro convicted
in the Lower 13 murder case, from the Oregon
gas chamber. If they fail, Folkes will go into
the chamber Friday morning.

into the pleasant out aangeiuu .
optimism. . . ... .
The cold fact is that the crisis of the great
German assault hasn't yet been passed. Our
General Hodces' drive in the Grandmeml sector
officially reported today as making good
progress against stiff resistancemust be re
garded as of defensive nature at this Juncture
Of course if the first army push is successfu
It will complement General Patton's sensational
drive northward into the southern flank of the
bulge and so will threaten to cut off the bulge
at the base. This would enclose large German
forces in a sack. However, that's merely a
potentiality. The actuality is that Hodges at
tack is essential for the security of the allied
line north of the bulge.
e
Regain Initiative
THE American forces have regained the Initia
tive about the perimeter of the bulge, but
on the southern flank of the allied line the Ger
mans are on the offensive in the Sarreguemines-Bitche-Lauterbourg
zone and have made some
progress. Their main purposes are to compel
us to divert forces from other areas, and to
oust us from the Saar region.
The probabilities are that the German com
mander still is looking for a soft spot on the.
north of the bulge through which he might
make another thrust towards Liege and thence
on to Antwerp. Loss of the great communlca
tions center of Liege would be a terrific blow
to the allies, and if the port of Antwerp were
put out of commission it would be an awful
catastrophe. I think this is one of the primary
reasons for the new first army counter-offensive
to knock out Von Rundstedt's forces attempt
ing to break through on Miejiorth.
Patton Hero
TWO-GUN PATTON continues to be the great
hero of the bloody drama of the bulge. He
is the absolute key-stone ot tne auiea position.
Or you might say he s the monkey-wrench in
the machinery of Von Rundstedt's offensive.
The big salient which Patton has driven into
the German southern flank about Bastogne has
been the main obstacle to a fresh nazi assault
in the north towards Liege. In short the
Yankee general has been carrying a lot of the
bulge on his own shoulders.
Von Rundstedt's position within the bulge is
Increasingly dangerous. He is deep in enemy
country and the base of his long salient is far
too narrow for comfort. Moreover, communi
cations inside the bulge are bad, so that on the
whole the German general likely would find it
cxtremelv difficult even now to get his forces
out of the bulge without terrible losses.

ON KLAMATH FILING
SAN FRANCISCO (To the Edi
tor) On vacation, I have just
read the article about Copco's
application to the state hydro
electric commission for a water
right from Klamath river, in
which you refer to me as a pub
lic power protagonist.
That designation is not exact.
My primary interest is and has
been in the best economic de
velopment of the Klamath basin,
1. e., in increasing its produc
tion, population and income. To
do that we must from now on
make the wisest possible use of
our natural resources. From
that viewpoint I would like to
discuss this Copco anplication,
beginning with the following
premises:
. 1. The highest, most benefi
cial use of our water supply is
IRRIGATION. An average an
nual diversion of around 300,000
acre-feet has given us a farm
population of around 7000 with
an average annual income of
about eleven million dollars, all
spent here at home. Check with
C. A. Henderson on those fig
ures. No other possible use of
water could give comparable re
sults. 2. More power production on
Klamath river will be of NO
benefit to the Klamath basin un
less it complies with the follow
ing conditions: (a) That all water
rights remain WHERE THEY
ARE NOW, i. e., subject to prior
right for irrigation and (b) that
the power produced be sold at
the rates offered by the Bonne
ville administration.
3. Power development on
Klamath river which violates
cither of these conditions Is det
rimental to and will seriously
limit the long range develop
ment of the basin.
""J private Dower enmnanv
FTr WlllllltMliHBl l
HUB:

will or CAN comply with either
of the first two conditions. On
the other hand we are now, after
20 years delay, promised power
production on the Klamath
which WILL comply with both.
Copco's application is without
doubt intended to obstruct and
delay this local power develop
ment in the public interest.
So much for power. Now I
would consider this application
as it will affect irrigation ex
pansion: Copco now has a prior, per
petual right to 205 sec. ft. of
water and is asking for a prior,
perpetual right to 1380 sec. ft.
more, or a total of 1585 sec. ft.
If it gets it, this amount of water
will have to be left in the river
for Copco's use, even if it is the
total outflow of the lake.
What does 1585 sec. ft. mean
in terms of irrigation? Convert
ed, it is inn a year 1,157,050 acre
feet. With a diversion of four
feet per acre it would irrigate
120,000 acres.
There is in the basin around
40.000 more acres whicli can bo
irrigated by gravity below Up
per Klamath lake, to say noth
ing of the land above it. In the
same issue of your newspaper
carrying Copco's announcement
there is another showing the re
vival of a dormant irrigation
district which should by all
means be revived. In addition,
we are now looking to the com
ing of public power with a pump
ing rate so low that many hun
dreds of acres of bench lands
will come under Irrigation, lands
which never can be profitably
irrigated at any rate any private
power company will or CAN
offer. This expansion of irriga
tion will require a very consid
erable amount of water. With it
in prospect can we afford to
limit by 120,000 acres the only
expansible basic industry the
basin presently has? And for no
benefit whatever?
It is hard to understand why
Copco applied to the state hydro
electric commission for a water
right, for Copco very well knew
that neither it non any other
state commission or official
could grant its request, as by
specific legislation the state has
declared all of the waters of the
basin to be appropriated and
that it will permit no adverse
filings. It must be presumed
that Copco will follow up its In
tile request with an attempt to
get the legislature to change
that law, as it did in 1931
which brings me to the whole
purpose of this letter.
It being obvious that what
Copco now asks would be det
rimental to the economic devel
opment of this community and
it Deing true that it is easier,
quicker and cheaper to stop a
ming Detore it starts rather than
afterwards, I respectfully sug
gest to each civic and service
organization in the basin that
they immediately inform each of
our state legislators that they
demand that NO CHANGE of
any kind whatsoever be made in
the Klamath water laws at this
time, this crucial time when
what we do may well determine
whether Klamath Falls will con
tinue to go forward or start
backward.
It is the plain duty of every
irrigation district board of di
rectors to strenuously oppose
Copco's request and it is to be
hoped that each owner of irri
gated or irrigable land will also
contact each of his state repre
sentatives and state senator and
add his protest to that of his
board. It would be regrettable
if after we get the low public
power pumping rate we would
find that in the meantime the
private power company had ac
quired the water.
The time to file our protests
is Now.
