ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
Speakinj of the well organized
Co igresslonal hearing In Redding,
, vauiornia taut ucnv in
he ambition of the Bureau ol iW
jwmiion 10 divert water from the
Trinity River to the Bacramento In
a half billion dollar boondoggle, the
Redding paper announces: "Shasta
and Trinity counties put up a united
liont this morning urging quick
action for construction of the Trini
ty River project with request for
adequate supplies ot water for the
counties of origin."
This "united front" fable Is a
thing that always amuses me as
every hearing organized by the
Bureau of Reclamation and its
cover screen of local boosters is
managed adroitly so that the rec
ord would appear to have a"unlted
front1' even Wough the opposition
within the community Is great. The
opposition, however, is handicapped
because It is not organized and
does not wish to come to grips with
the Bureau's well trained and glib
spoken boosters. Engineers look
contemptuously upon the layman
who attempts to express his views
upon subjects they consider to be
their own God given right. As a
consequence the opposition lets the
boomers have their way and pray
that outsiders will come in and pre
sent the opposing arguments that
they do not have the intestinal for
titude to get up in publlo tnd
Milk Prices
Reduced
PORTLAND Wl Milk will cost
a half cent less per quart in nine
Oregon counties on May 15, the
State Board of Agriculture an
nounced Monday. .
The board also voted sharp re
ductions in cream prices from
2?4 to "10 cents a pint in an at
tempt to reduce aurplus butterfat.
The new pricing regulations will
mean that producers will get one
'cent less ner ouart as the board
added a half cent to the distrib
utor's margin. - .
The vote on the new price regu
lations was 3-2 with Fred Cockell
of Mllwaukle and Lee Holllday of
Klamath Falls opposing them.
They argued that If the producers'
price was to be cut a full cent the
entire reduction should be, passed
on to the consumer.
The regulation affects Marlon,
Clackamas,, Polk, Wasco, - Hood
River, Columbia, Washington,
Yamhill and Multnomah counties.
The new prices will be: 3.8 per
cent butterfat milk, 21 ,4 cents
43 cents in two-quart containers;
4.3 per cent milk, 22 cents; 5
per cent milk. 23 "2 cents; 10 per
cent milk, down 2 2 cents to 20
cents a pint; 20 per cent coffee
cream, down 7 cents to 30 cents a
pint; 33 per cent whipping cream,
down 10 cents' to 40 cents a pint.
John Day Chrome

BAKER tfl Plans for a chrome
processing mill to be in operation

day by Fred J. Young, Blanche
Behner and Margaret Hoskins, all

Nerme, Hohokus, N. J., and Alwyn

UNION MEETING
NEWPORT, Ore. Iff) Some 150
delegates and members of their
families are expected for the three
day annual meeting of the Oregon
Etate Council of A PL Carpenters
and Joiners which opens here
Thursday.
voice. After all, one can hardly
blame them, they have to live In
the community and the boosters
can exert pressures that might be
embarasslng to local opposition
since they usually control the polit
ical voice of the community. -
We have been aware that there Is
till opposition developing in the
Trinity area though that opposi
tion has not been voiced publically
by the local paper which must pre
sent the "united front" fable by
playing down any opposing argu
ments. Apparently there has been a
question raised, in fact, a serious
threat in the line of opposition, be
cause some people in Trinity Coun
ty are beginning to as what guar
antees are there that their . area
will have an adequate supply of
water ten to mem alter the Bureau
and the citizens of Redding get it
diverted to their special benefit
is Trinity to become a second
Owens Valley?
The boomers have always been
quick to meet these questions that
pose a threat to their desire to get
tho good old man with the long
chin whiskers to generously dig
down into the Tax Payer's pocket
for a few loose millions that can be
spent in their community it's a
great American Oame in which we
all participate and then scream
bloody murder about the taxes we
pay.
This question of future water sup
ply after it has been all diverted
must have been quite serious be
cause tne boomers have had their
big guns running around preparing
the ground and calming fears the
best they can. The chief leader for
the Bureau's ambition stated "we
do not intend to adopt a dog in the
manger attitude" when he sought
to allay fear that there would be
nothing left for the people at home,
however, I greatly doubt such his
trionics was very reassuring. I
also notice that now the boomers
are beginning to attempt to placate
tne recreational Interests and prom'
Ise them an "adequate" supply of
water of favorable temperature.
By the time the Trinity River di
version boosters get through prom
ising everyone that their needs will
be taken care of one wonders how
much water will be left for diver
sion. These boys have been long on
promises In their attempts to beat
down the arguments of the opposl-
tion and have deliberately sought to
buy off the opposition by bribery
out of the public purse. When Trin
ity started worrying about their
school system which is now exceed
ingly inadequate and would be
forced to cope with a large influx
of construction workers the ans
wer was simple Uncle will take
care ot that and build you new
schools. When the people started to
worry about their road system
which would suffer by the project
construction Tut! Tuti
my friends, good old Uncle Bam
will come to your aid.
Where the great dam Is to be
located is aulte some distance from
the city of Weavenrtlle and the
main highway from the dam would
go to Redding instead, it looked as
If Weavervllle merchants woura oe
cut out of the gravy by their ad
verse position, however, the boy in
the striped pants will take care of
that by seeing that Weavervllle is
connected to the construction area
with an adequate highway.
Then when the opposition cried
about the loss of tax lands by virtue
or the construction of great reser
voir, that was a question which was
not so easily answered, nowever,
trust the ingenious promoter we
will lust have Uncle pay the county

the promoter can oe caugnv wimout
an answer so long as the public
pocket is large ana generous.

LOS ANOELES W President
Elsenhower plans an international
conference of scientists to explore
"the benign and peaceful uses of
atomic energy," says Lewis L.
Strauss.
The chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission made this dis
closure last night in addressing the
Los Angeles World Affairs Coun
cil. He said it is the President's
Intention to ask a national Amer
ican scientific organization to call
the meeting later this year.
No specific date was mentioned
for the meeting, which would be
the first conclave of Its kind in
the nuclear age. :.
Strauss, In stating Its' purpose,
quoted the President's words: "To
