Sweden's hbitory li Interesting. Back In the early 1600's. a (treat king arena by the process of re. bolllon against a weak and corrupt nynteio. Ht name wna Ountavun Vaa. Ho was a military genius . and a natural leader. He defeated bis country's enemies and when he all died In 1600 he loft Bwoien the strongest power In northern Europe Throe warrior kings followed him and they succeeded In turning the Baltic nes Into Swedish lake by the simple process of conquer ing and gaining military possession of the Bnlllc's nnoren. Tint period was Sweden's, hour In the sum. It didn't last lone. Atong about noo, the powers that Sweden had whipped got together. An alliance wan lormed by Den. mark, Prussia. Poland-Saxony and Russia. This alliance fought the Swedes until their country was ex hausted. The nhorelsnds which Swe den hsd conquered were taken away Irom her and Hie Baltic ceased to be a Swedish lake. ; Eventually, weak and worn out, , Sweden turned to a policy of lieu ' tralliy and under this policy she tiremiUieiicd her economy and suc ceeded in gaining for her people sn admlrablo degree of prosperity tnd a hlith standard of living. But THAT period is now tlireut tnd. Russia is selling out to make ot the Bsltio aUrftlAN lake. I fear that unless powerful friends come to hor aid Sweden will be trampled Into the bloody mud as SHE trampled other nationalities into the bloody mud when SHE wss msklng the Baltlo Into a Bwe dl.ih lake. Time marohes on, Ts there no balm In pileadr In there no peace for the peacefully-minded who have possess'ons that are coveted by vll-mlnded neighbors? Is there no hope?, I think there Is hope. In It slow and inexorable way, history points It out for us. It w are to have peace (with out walling through in millen niums necessary for the making over of human nature) ome great and righteous nation with both the will and the power loej tnbllntv and enforce JUSTICE throughout th world must arise. That nation could be ours. But If It IS to bo ours, w must become both a great and a RIGHT EOUS nation. Our motives must ba both high and right. If we are to accomplish a task like that, wo must be able to say and BELIEVE: "Our strength Is an th strength of ten because our' hearts sic rt pure." t . In no other wsy can It be don. But It would be wonderful If It WERE done. The benefits that . would accrue to everybody would " be beyond calculation.

California Enters Tilt On Copco Dam License By HALE SCARBROLCH. The lives- and' times, or migra tory fish in the lower Klamath River occupied most of Wednesday morning's session ot the Federal Power Commission hearing on the California vOreson Power Compnny application for license for Its pro posed Big Bond No. 2 hydroelectric development on the Klamath River; Tne connection is rather remote. However, the State of California has pending against the power com pany a- suit In which California Is trying to force Copco to build a dnin at Iron Gnte. on the river In Siskiyou County, which would regulate the river flow from that point on down to the ocean. The power company s present dnms (Copco No. 1 and Copco No. 2 in northern Snkiyou Co.'iuyi n,e alleged to be the cause of consid erable fluctuation in the water lev el of the river nil tlie way down to the Pacific, causing it to be a dangerous stream for fishermen and also a dangerous one to fish. The Iron Gate dam; about four miles below the present stream of obstructions, would be designed to smooth out the water flow. . Copco is willing to build the dnm for its hydroelectric output, but Lost Rancher's Body Located The body of 63-year-o'ii Join Houbs was milled from the waters of the Williamson River shortly be fore p.m." yesterdny after search parties hnd dragged the river, since Sunany;. . . , .

J. H. Wales of Mt. Shasta, Cali fornia Department of Fish and Game biologist was the expert "wit ness called by Ralph W. Scott, dep uty attorney general of California. Wales testified to various sur veys taken by his office on the Klamath and reported that during the year 1948-49 a total of 1. 862.000 fish were lost In the lower Klamath by stranding the fish, most of of them fhuierlings, getting strand ed on banks and sandbars due to fluctuations of tlie water levei. The cost or hatching those fish to the State of California, he said, would amount to $130,000. He went into considerable detail as to how the determination of the estimated number of fish deaths was reached,- by samples, and sta tistics, and also elaborated on the Operation or the . state's king sal mon egg taking station at ' the mouth of Fall Creek. . ' Building the Iron Gate- dam would cut off several miles or val uable spawning grounds, Wales said, but would inure than com pensate for that loss by alleviating the loss of fish by stranding, ' Harrison Gregory, Conco attorney,-oross examined Wales closely on the' methods used in making, the estimates of fish loss. i E.-L. Stephens, manager of, the Bureau of Reclamation's Klamath nroiect. was on the witness stand Tuesday afternoon, more or less recounting the history of the pro ject rrom 1905 until this year, and shortly before Wednesday noon he returned to the stand for further testimony, The Bureau of Reclamation also has intervened In the FPC hearing, asking' that the Conco license not be granted,-or at least be held up until a USBR comprehensive sur vey o water and . land resources ' . .

This action was taken by the as sociation Wednesday morning; after hearing a report of its Traffic Com mittee, given by Chairman Dick Maguire. , HAZARDS -.'J: "It should be clearly recognized that the bottleneck and hazards of the viaduct are causing large num bers of motorists to use the East Main approach to the downtown business district. This in turn, adds materially to the load carried by Maui Street In the downtown area. One uf the surest ways to relieve the. traffic load oa, downtown Main Street is to Improve the Sixth Street viadUct so that motorists may ase it without fear of its pres ent extreme hazards," tne commit tee reported. ; .- - V TRUCKS '' '; '';' T "The proposal to Install one-way traffic on Main Street and Klam ath Avenue would involve the rout ing of through southbound trucks down the main street ot Klamath Falls and hmugh its highest prop erty value district. . , ' Such a plan is utterly prepos terous and Is the complete opposite ot all recognized concepts of good mgnway ana city planning. - Plum street was referred to by the committee as a possible two- way route for easing crosstown traffic. It pointed out that this route is ideally located between the business and commercial districts. ana reierrea to tne Hann, camp bell and Associates report to the city and county in 1948. REPORT ' The impartial Halm,' Campbell report stated: ' , . "Your consultants have not In cluded one-way streets in any part of this plan. It Is their belief that a proper development of the Plum Street crosstown - connection ' will better serve tratfio requirements than a one-way plan on any pair of present streets "There should be ' no disagree ment on the part of those Interested in the protection of the present high value business- district with the thought that in the future we will need first, a Westside By-Pass and second, an Eastside By-Pass to provide for the traffic needs of the suture. , "This theory or method of hand ling through traffic is lust as well accepted by competent authorities as tne idea of routing through trucks down the main street of a sizeable. city is repudiated by these same autnoriues.' The merchants put the Westside oypass as the second project, alter the Sixth Street viaduct, on the grounds that 89 per cent or through traffic is north-south on highway 97, and only 11 per cent heads east toward Mkevlew. . ..
