Deer Hunting Reported Great ASTORIA Ml Hunting In the five-day-old deer season was re- ported the best In years here by hunters returning with choice, fat deer. Don Jossy, who operates a lock' er company where deer are brought for freezing, Raid that the animals show signs of having had an excellent feeding season during inc pasi winter. Roach, Idaho Power's president, "would be a ' better witness on rates." Mrs. Cooper delved into Idaho Power's changes In plans and cost estimates as she cross-examined Woodhead. She brought out that Idaho Pow er engineers had Investigated the possibility of building two dams Instead of three and that a five dam plan also had been con sidered. '. ' Woodhead said the two dam plan was inierior from an economic stand point. Mrs. Cooper then turned to prot ect cost estimates made in applica tions filed with the Power Com mission. She said Idaho Power originally estimated the Oxbow project would cost 21,621,000 but later hiked the figure in an appli cation amendment to 123,600,000. She said that the cost of Idaho Power's proposed Hells Canyon Dam was estimated at 144,850.000 at one time and $45,100,000 another time. I Woodhead said he couldn't ex plain the apparent discrepancy but would study the matter. Mrs. cooper asked w n e t n e r Woodhead had made a cost esti mate for the proposed federal Hells Canyon Dam, which proponents say would cost about 400 million dollars. Idaho Power estimate Its projects would cost 133 million dollars. Woodhead said he had not estl mated the cost of the federal pro- Dosal The attorney men asxea wneuier Woodhead, without making a com parison, had satlsfiedtalmself that the three-dam plan would be the best for comprehensive develop ment nf the river.

Cotton, wno testified earlier In the hearing, compared the federal ana utility plans last year at the request oi the Interior Department Cotton s cost estimate tor power generators and turbines lequlred by Idaho power was aoout mil lion dollars higher than Wood head's. , Mrs. Cooper asked Wocahcad If he had read the Cotton report ana if he would compare his and Cot ton s cost estimates.

I didn't go to Mr. Cotton because J didn't think I would get anything out ot it (his report)."

She said such dams were subject to damage as a result of settling of the structure ana asted wny woodhena chose such a design. He replied that settling would re sult In some damage to all dams out that the foundations In the middle Snake would be suitable for dams of the type he dcsHncd. He added that he felt no unusual seepage problems would be encountered. ALL BOLLED UP J. S. Wallace, of Sikeston. Mo contrasts specimens of urinated and nnn.tri-loatprf j-ntinn mi, .i Campbell (Mo.)

A blaze reported Tuesday In green timber five miles east of Oakrldge was controlled after It had covered six acres. A crew of 70 men was rushed to the fire, thought started by railroad loco motive sparks, when initial reports indicated it mignt get away to a head start. Ouv Johnson, forest service fire control officer In Portland, said that lots of slashing fires are burn ing In Western Oregon where the woods are reasonably damp. The big hazard, he said, comes from the fact that so many men, be cause of the deer season, are in the woods. This Is especially true, he said, In -Eastern Oregon where most of the fires have been reported. A dozen or more fires have been laid to careless hunters.
