Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
WERE are a couple of travel notes one
o.,nrKi the other not so cood about
the railroads, which we hope arc clipped and
ent to somebody. S -iJfcstTi
Coming norm nu.u w.
ern California Sunday, we took ,
the Morning Daylight, a honey !
of a train that runs between
Los Angeles and 5an ran-N
Cisco every day in aayiigni.
Here, for no extra fare, are
superb facilities streamlining,
cleanliness, air conditioning,
radio and loudspeaker equip
ment, coffee shop, a unique
baggage service, and big, clear
windows iust richt for the
grand view along the seashore ana in ine
mountains. It hints, we hope, of what the
Espee will do on the whole coast route when
the war is over.
Our connections necessitated a two-hour wait
at the Oakland pier, where the facilities for
customers are as lousy as you will find any
where. The tiny men's waiting room is virtually an
annex to the lavatory, and the women's doesn't
look a lot better. The weather down there is
chilly in the evenings, and we spent an un
comfortable two hours meandering around in
the barn-like place, with no place to sit down
and get warm. We are aware that the Oakland
pier was designed chiefly as a quick change
for passengers going from ferry to trains, or
vice versa, but there seems to be a lot of pas
sengers there now waiting between trains, etc.
There were two or three hundred people milling
about in the place when we were stranded
there, and the little restaurant and news stand
were doing a land-office business. ,
Diversion Project
THE Pitt rlvar diversion project, mentioned
here some weeks ago as a matter needing
further airing and a full understanding in this
area, has blossomed into a full-fledged news
story now, attracting mounting interest in both
Oregon and California.
Diversion of water from the Klamath to the
Pitt watersheds was officially discussed in army
engineer's reports in 1933, when a study of the
entire Klamatti basin watershed was made.
The engineers at that time suggested the possi
bility of a tunnel or channel from the Tule
lake basin almost directly south, but went on to
throw cold water on the proposal in these
words:
"While investigations were not sufficiently
complete to warrant definite conclusions, it ap
pears that the water supply, after allowing for'
future expansion for irrigation, might be too
uncertain to justify this plan and that legal
complications might also prevent its adoption.""
Revived ..
SINCE 1933, when the above words were
published in the engineer's report, some
important developments have occurred. One
was the construction of the Shasta dam project,
which would be fed by water diverted from the
Klamath basin. Another was the construction
of the Tule lake tunnel into Lower Klamath
lake. This takes water out of Tule lake
which, when the report was made, was cover
ing otherwise irrigable area in Tule lake basin.
It accomplishes, in part, what the Pitt river
diversion would accomplish in the way of un
watering Tule lake lands.
About two years ago, we heard reports that
indicated the Pitt riyer diversion scheme was
being revived. Since then, it has been learned
that the army engineers are giving additional
study to the plan, and only recently they have
stated they would hold hearings in this area
to explain it, evidence that it is not a dead
issue. Such a hearing has now been scheduled
in Klamath Falls for February 21.
The engineers have not finished their report
and recommendations. Even if the report fav
ored the project, it would be only a first step
and much would still be required in the way
of legislative action, appropriations, etc., before
it would become a sure thing. It is still very
much in the nebulous stage.
It is, however, a matter of such vital im
portance to this area that we need to know
all about it. First principle involved, so far
as we are concerned, is the absolute and eternal
protection of the Klamath basin's rights to every
drop of water it will ever need for irrigation.
Other questions involved include its effect
on wildlife, Klamath river present and potential
power projects, possible favorable effects
through added water storage facilities and re
claiming and irrigating additional lands, and
other ramifications.
It is good that interest in the community
meaning the entire basin is awakening. It is
too early, we believe, for any final conclusions
on our part, one way or the other, except to
stand on the above-mentioned first principle.
The forthcoming hearings will afford oppor
tunity to find out a lot about this.

Russia to some extent. But Russia will have no

Run Course of Extremity
I DO not know. My judgment is that revolu
tions generally run the course of extremity
before they settle down into sense. First, there
, must arise a powerful leadersmp tor gooa De
fors there can be good.
Atvwe all. no matter what the immediate
future course, there must be no compromise of
ideals. Those who know the true values of
life also know that one day these will be
restored to popular acceptance. That too is
inevitable. .
Therefore, it is the duty of those who believe
in soundness to stand steadfast in this wander-
ine. drifting condition. . It is their duty to
nurture the light in darkness for the future
time when it will again lighten the fires in
every home and bring warming comfort to
future people.
Of the realization of simple substances must
sound knowledge and sound value eventually
come. Money will be worth only what circum
stance or some future authority declares it to
be worth. Our international safety will be only
such as our ingenuity and constant alertness
can prescribe.
There is no safety in numbers, even in mod
ern weapons, because these become obsolete
overnight. Planes in which we trusted at the
outset of this war can hardly be used as
trainers today. Time is fast. So is obsolescence.
Only alertness can endure
Wages, hours, prices, all the other economic
factors have suffered the same swift deteriora
tion 'of their values as the planes in the past
three years. A wage is no better than ihe
goods it will buy.
By such considerations should values be
truly measured, not in the high talk you hear
so frequently today in the search for articles.
magic formulas, economic contrivances and do
vices to bring us all ease, luxury, heaven on
earth, but which are only cheating our reason
of the lesson of arithmetic.
Must Be Met
THESE are the factors of the worm today.
These problems must be met and solved.
They are critical. They need not be fatal,
They demand the earnest energy and utmost
effort of those who know the truth among the
people.
We must restore morality In values. We
must do this in relation to money and peace
treaties as well as to juvenile delinquency. We
must promote a new moral order in relation to
nations and political issues as well as to people
We must further It in every way possible before
tnis contused world can become sound.

11G FUND
APPROVED FOR
FUTURE JAIL
ADDroval of a $10,000 sinking
funa for future development ot
jail facilities was voiced by
memDers oi ine cuy council
Monday night on recommenda
tion of Police Judge Harold
Franey.
Praney explained that such a
fund would enable the city to
make plans for the much need
ed jail. In order to prevent this
money from automatically re-
vertine back into tne general
fund next July 1, he explained
that the council would have to
create what will be referred to
as the jail construction fund.
The city budgeted 510,000 last
July in making up the 1945 bud
get. That $10,000, plus the mon
ey in the police emergency fund
which was voted at the Novem
ber 7 election, constitutes the
city's contribution to the city
county unit. In the meantime.
me city nas oeen aavisea mat
no funds are available through
the Lanham act. '
On motion of Councilman Rol-
Hn Cantrall and seconded by
Harvey Martin, the fund was approved.
ine council was also advised
that the boxing commission has
turned over $1500 to the city,
as the city's percentage of the
boxing operations for 1944.
Franey explained that according
to state law this fund must be

Franey requested the council's
