California Oregon Power company officials said Thursday that the lake now stands at 4142 8 feet above sea level, or about six Inches under the maximum permitted under the Copco permit with the federal gov ernment. There Is currently no spill or waste in Link river, with virtually at the lake's discharge of 1431 sec ond feet (24-hourly average June 1) going through the two power plants on the river. Copco District Manager Sam Rltchey said It Is planned to hold the lake as high as possible as long as possible. He said Improved mois ture conditions late in the season resulted in the heavy increase In storage in the lake. For the last 10 days, Williamson river, chief In flow stream, has been running at 2300 second feet consistently. Because of moisture conditions down the valley, the reclamation service has been drawing rather liiiitly on the lake. On June 1, the main canal was carrying only 480 second feet, or about a third of ca pacity. The reclamation service said to day that available storage In Upper Klamath Is now 476.730 acre feet.

Tulelake residents said it started raining at 8 o'clock and kept up for about one hour. It was described a "good downpour." Earlier, at both Merrill and Malln, a heavy shower pelted that section. There was considerable lightning display in town between 8:30 and 9 p m. and lightning is thought to have caused one of the big trans mission lines out of the Klamath river plant to go out of service at 4:30 p. m., Copco officials said here.
