Ht told the story of the latest phase of the American economic revolution; how the modern devel opment of industry and agriculture is interlocked with the movement of goods by trucks; how our major highway systems are behind the seeds for the essential movement of goods and people. He made an enlightening talk (reported elsewhere in the paper) without getting into controversial subjects, as he promised at the outset. But the sixty four dollar ques tion, of what formula should be used for the truckers to pay their share of the upkeep and moderni zation of highways, still needs to be discussed. There are measures on this sub ject to be Toted on by the people of Oregon in November. This sub ject can stand a lot of discussion and argument between now and then. It said in the paper Thursday that the Fish and Wildlife Service Is In the process of acquiring 4386 diod NfcW YORK ( Every time 1 meet Royal Toner, the noted sea farmer, he says: . "If all the offspring of two '. oysters survived for five genera tions, they'd make a mass as big at the whole earth and then where would you be?" This always makes me so un easy that I rush to the nearest restaurant and swallow a half doz en oysters raw. If these little liv ing pearl factories think they can gang up and crowd me out of my world well, I can live by the law of the fang, too. This year, however, Toner, who operate 6,000 acres of underwater agriculture in Long Island Sourt and Delaware Bay. said I could worry about something else. The , oyster Is no longer a threat. "The supply of oysters has been very slim lately much below nor- i mat," said Toner, a big, booming volced man who is board chair- V man of the National Fisheries In stitute, an organization of the na tion's leading commercial fishing firms. - "It's all part of the balance ol nature. The weather conditions at the time of spawning have been unfortunate for the last few sea sons hot without a. breath of wind." . As he explained it, the baby oyster is a free-swlmmlng minia ture tadpole for a few days, then sinks to the bottom and anchors its tall to an old piece of shell or rock. But If the sun is too hot and ' the ses too calm, the temperature rises, the oxygen level of the wa ter falls, and the little oyster Called a sprat peels oil and dies. i As a result of bad weather and , overfishing, the bivalve, far from y being a villainous menace to man i kind, right now is fighting hard - for self-preservation. : "We've only had a 6 to 7 million bushel oyster crop the last two years," said Toner. "Forty years sgo Maryland alone produced that many, and oysters were the No. 1 seafood crop. "Now they have been passed by the salmon, the cod, the halibut, METSKER'S COUNTY MAPS Bfl mpi ff gpartimtn. Tr.llt, Crrekf, I,akt: all coantlft, Idahv, Orrnt Mkihtnilon, C1iritrnti. tor ilr !

Cutting down our traffic deaths is a problem that lies directly in the hands of the nation's drivers. It is up to us to see to it that more caution Is observed, that dangerous situations are handled with care and that safe and sane driving is the smartest thine in the long run.

The IF, and it's a big one, is if the marshland is being bought for the purpose of providing a public hunting ground for duck and goose hunters. Birds and hunters have been steadily squeezed, year after year, by the ever increasing agricultural development of the country. It is insurance ior tne tuture to bet aside now part of the remnant of marshland left here in the Basin. But there's just one big reason for providing further for the birds, and that's to insure the future of the recreation of hunting. The 12'5 thousands acres would be big enough to make a good public hunting grounds. It would provide one in the Oregon end of the Basin. The ones we now have are in California.

"We don't know which they like best, as no oyster ever com plains." There is an old superstition hat oysters aren't good to eat during the summer months, when they spawn. "Actually they are better then they taste sweeter." said Toner. He believes the legend arose be cause one variety of North Sea oyster, wnen bitten into in the spawning period "tastes like a spoonful of sand." But commercial growers would just as soon have their customers consume oysters on the shell only during the months with an 'R' In them. "Every time you swallow a spawning oyster," said Toner sternly, "you are de.strovmtr be tween 25 and 50 million fu Jre little baby oysters." People may think right now mere are too lew oysters.

Coulee Profits Reported At Ail-Time High PORTLAND Profile from sale of power from Bonneville and Oraud Coulee Dams aet a new all t line record high last year, tlie Bonneville Power Administration reported Friday. In an annual audit prepared by Anderson ai Co. of Seattle, BPA reported a net profit from the Iwe Columbia River power piojects of tl5.W0.000 In the fiscal year end ing June 20. That Is an 11 per cent Increase over last year's profit The money turned over to the federal treasury to amortize Its capital Investment which lal June stood at 1533.863,000 in the two projects. To date mora than 123 million dollara have been returned to the treasury. That waa what was left of 250 million dollars In receipts alter all expenses, Including de preciation, were deducted. Dross revenue from power sales also was up about 11 per cent to I40.180.M6, the audit reported.

But thus lar Pre mier Mossadegh has been making the same old noises and hopes of real results Is slim. Prime Minister Churchill and President Truman ollered fresh proposals because they know Iran is In difficult financial straits through loss of markets for Its oil. 'the Wel could use tlie oil. But the primary Impulse toward settle ment Is the lear that a tottering Iranian economy might make the nation easy prey to a Moscow-Inspired Communist coup. These problems, ol course, have existed all along. The Churchill Truman offer at this time sug gests that the West leels Mossa degh might be more approachable now that he has felt the heavy financial pressure of the past sev ernl months. But Mossadegh has shown no sign of readiness to give way. He knows the West trembles at the prospect his government might col lapse and be replaced by a Red regime. Tnerciore ne seems 10 ice, that time Is on his side, thst If he can Just hold out long enough the West will conceoe nis inn lerm. Those terms are stiff. Undoubt edly he wants a much bigger loan from America man inn iu '" lion nronosed now by Mr. Truman. More than that, In his antl-Brltlsh furv he wants absolutely no con cession of any sort to the British who built and managed tne Iran Ian oil facilities and now find themselves out In the cold. The Churchill-Truman plan wouia submit all questions of compensa tion to the British for settlement by the World Court. Mossadegh has relccted that solution flatly. As a matter of fact, he has pub Pjly rejected the whole program In a drastic, three-page statement that appeared to shut the door to future negotiations. But. In accord with past practice, Ironlan officials have at the same time privately attempted to keep the door to ne gotiations open. . Mossadegh seems to believe that this little game Is shrewd and Is bound to pay off. He behaves as If he holds all the cards and merely needs to nlnv them. But he nlrcBdv has made one malor mistake.

Industrial connuniFra took mo.nt of the power, though, and these sales accounted for it per cent ol the gross revenues. One of the major Industrial customers was the aluminum Industry which paid S13. 316.301 for power. Thla was sllKhtly under last vear'a total of 113.523.218. The drop was caused by a slowdown In operation of the Longvlrw Reynolda plant because ol construction.
