His time will stand as the world
indoor record for a dirt track. Only
Oienn Cunningham's sensational
4:04.4 of 1938 on a board track-
exceeds Santee's performance in
indoor competition.
So now there are three separate
indoor mile records:
1. Cunningham, 4:04.4 6i-lap
board track.
2. Santee. 4:04.9, eight-lap dirt
track.
3. Gil Dodds, 4:05.3, 11-lap board
track.
Dodds set his record at Madison
Souare Garden in 1948. Cunning
ham set his at Dartmouth College
In a handicap race. Both were on
board tracks, but the number of
laos varied.
Differences in tne conditions oi
all three are relevant.
We have to list aiem separately
because some places don't have
board tracks and others don't nave
dirt tracks," explained Dan Ferris.
secretary-treasurer of the Natlonni
Amateur Athletic Union, in New
York. '
"We couldn't have one standard
wllh the two kinds of tracks."

Plan
Irrigation
and Future
Witneses before the Federal Power Commis
sion by careful estimates iletermined that approxi
mately 1,200,000 acres of new land would be re
claimed by irrigation in the area above the Hells v
Canyon stretch of the Snake River in the period
1948-2008.
This means that, year by year, more and more
water must be reserved for irrigation, and less will
be available for power and other purposes.
Accordingly, Idaho Power's plans for its Hells
Canyon area development provide for use of only
as much water as will be available after the needs
of irrigation have been met.
The proposed federal dam, with its contcm
plated storage capacity of 3,800,000 acre feet,
would either stand partially empty in low water
yean, or water to fill it would have to be taken
away from the needs of irrigation.
. In southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, the nse
of water for irrigating farms has always come
ahead of the use of water for electric power for.
agriculture is the Snake River Valley's most im
portant resource. . v
Here is the provision protecting irrigation, rights
written into water permit applications made by
Idaho Power Company to the State of Idaho for
the Hells Canyon area projects:
t : - - ' '
"The rights herein granted for the use of the
teaters . . . are subject to the conditions that the
project shall be operated in such manner as tcill not
conflict with the future depletion and flow of the
teaters of Snake River and its tributaries, or pre
vent or interfere with the future upstream diver
sion and use of such water for the irrigation of.
lands and other beneficial consumptive uses in the
Snake River watershed."
