Copco Plans
Public backing Is being sought

local Butchers Union asking the
Federal Power Commission to
oratit a llranca .n lha fTallfamia
1 0regon Power Company to build
1 lts propose(j hydroelectric develop-
ment on the Klamath River.
The Federal Power Commission
has scheduled a hearing on the
Copco application for June 30 at
the Klamath Falls Armory.
The resolution is to be presented
to the Commission at. that time.
NEED CITED
- It- sites- the need for more
electrical power In the- Klamath
area and past power shortages,
and also sites Copco's published
statements that Irrigation water
users will be guaranteed first and
full water rights.
When the Copco application first
was made several months ago,
some opposition immediately arose
because of fear that Copco might
sometime demand and take water
needed for irrigation.
The power company has asked
for permission to build a dam
some seven miles downstream on
the Klamath River from Keno, the
first of a proposed development ot
several hydroelectric plants on the
river.
The Butchers Union resolution
requests that Copco be granted its
license as soon; as possible. -
COPIES OVT
The union hopes to get the
signatures of 3.500 Klamath County
property owners endorsing its res
olution have been placed at vari

spokesman, said that copies would

A thorough frost slaoned down
Klamath Basin farm and garden
crops last night, but Uie full extent
of the damage was not known this
morning.
Some fields Buffered more dam
age than others; some reportedly
came through In fair shape. Either
way, the frost wasn't expected.
Farmers reported their potato
vines black and . flattened this
morning after temperatures dipped
to 28 in Tulelake, 39 at the Klam-
am Airport and a 34 degree record
ing in downtown Klamath Falls.
TOO LONG .
Despite moisture which provides
some protection against- freezing.
ihe fields were touched because
the frost stayed on for - aeveral
hours during the night. One iarmer
sam it was several degrees below
freezing near Poe Valley at mid
night last night, and was still there
at dawn today.
Had the frost been on for a
short time, according to County
Agent Walter Jendrzejewski. dam
age would probably have been
very slight because of the mois
ture. A total precipitation of .41 inches
(in both rain and snow) was
measured at the Link River rain
gauge during the 34 hours ending
at o p.m. yesterday.
MEMORIES - ,' :.
The freeze brought back mem
ories to local farmers of June,
1949, wnen thermometers recorded
below-20 temperatures and did ex
tensive damage among grain, po
tato' and other crops throughout
the Klamath Basin. Some small
larmers are still recovering from
losses suffered during that freeze.
