River Channel
Lost River draws its name at
least partially from the fact that
not far downstream from Its
source it spreads out and disap
pears in a marsh, only to reap
pear some distance away and flow
onward in a channel, eventually
reaching the Tulelnke sump.
But If present plans of the Bu
reau of Reclamation are carried
out, Lost River won't be lost any
more.
ON BOARDS
On the drawing board and al
most ready for bidding is a chan
nel Improvement project designed
to facilitate the flow of the river
in upper Langell Valley, Just be
low Malone Dam.
According to local Bureau En
gineer Mark Taylor, the channel
will be able to let 900 second feet
of water pass without flooding, and
a flood flow of 4,000 second feet
will be made possible without dam
age. One of the principal expenses,
Taylor said, will be the Installation
of almost half a mile of culvert
pipe in 35 or 40 drains along the
route of the channel. A three-mile
lateral will also be Installed to Ir
rigate a strip of land along the
right-of-wny.
The Bureau Engineer, Denver,
has announced invitations will be
issued fo bids about Feb. 14. Tay
lor said that means the bids would
probably be opened the end of next
month. No dates have actually
been set yet.
According 'to Bureau specifica

Trinity River
Policy Argued
A public hearing at Weaverville.
Calif., yesterday on a proposal to
divert some of the water flow of
tne Trinity River apparently netted
nothing but reiteration of diver
gent views on the subject.
The Interior Department's Bu
reu of Reclamation some months
ago announced plans for a $207,
000,000 project to shift some Trini
ty water into the Sacramento river
system for use in the Bureau's Cen
tral Valley reclamation project.
CONTENTION
The need for more water in Cen
tral and Southern California was
cited as making the diversion ur
gent. But Northern California coun
ties generally have taken a stand
against it, at least until as much
local use of the Klamath river
system tof which the Trinity is
a part) is made possible.
The same views were expressed
at the Weaverville hearing yester
day. A former California state sena
tor, Irving J. Quinn of Eureka,
asserted that the Sacramento Val
ley does not need water from the
Trinity and Klamath Rivers, that
the Sacramento Valley has not ex
hausted its own water sudoHcs.
Quinn said sufficient water could
be obtained by doing more work
on the Feather River and Table
Mountain projects.
uut irnest Jones, commander
of the American Legion post at
Weaverville, declared:
"It is nearsighted' to condemn
a project which will bring good
and money to Trinity County."
Much of the cost of the huge
project wouia De spent m Trimly.
LIMIT
Still others said that only water
not needed in Trinity would be di'
verted.
The meeting was sponsored by
me inniiy woumy uoara o: super
visors. The Bureau of Reclamation pro
posal is to construct two dams in
tne vicinity of Lewiston, Calif.,
and tunnel through a mountain to
run water from that point on the
Trinity to empty it Into the Sacra
mento at Keswick Dam.
The Trinity originates near Weed
and runs south into Trinity County
before it turns Northwest to join
the Klamath.

Funds Sought
Means of raising funds for com
pletion of 14 miles of Sprague Riv

of Oregon Highway 31 are being
investigated by Klamath County
Court and Klamath Agency repre
sentatives. County Judge U. E. Reeder said
about $300,000 would be needed to

He said investigation will be
made by possibility of obtaining
half the amount from state high
way bonds and similar match
money from federal sources.
Judge Reeder said the money.
if obtained, would probably be not
available till the summer of 1953,
but steos were being taken now
to try and get it.

the boys today.
Apparently the boys obtained
some beer somewhere not at .the
places in questWn, but before their

and later In the evening became
involved with some girls at a mo
tel. ,
OTHER ANGLES

ported it was Investigating "some

Young Sister
LONDON Wl Princes Marga
ret must now get her big sister's
permission before she. can marry.
Queen Elizabeth, as the reigning
sovereign, must approve all mar
riages relating to" the Royal family.
And London newspapers specu
lated Friday that the death of
King George VI will lead to a
change In Margaret's marriage
plans if she has any. -
The 21-year-old Princess moved
up to third in line of succession
to the throne with the death of
her father. She is expected to be
called upon to fulfill more public
duties.
Margaret has led the gossip col
umnists on a merry whirl since she
turned 21 last August.
There have been indications dur
ing the past few months that she
has romance on her mind. Her
name has been closely linked with
the highly eligible Earl of Dal
keith. -
With the King's death, however,
there can be no marriage for the
young Princess .until after the cor
onation of her sister as Queen even
If she becomes engaged before then.
And the Coronation is likely to be
at least a year away.
