"The people of your region can Deer Hunting Results Differ As In the past, the reports on the opening day of deer season have varied from ; "red hot" to mighty slow. . Generally speaking, however, the Vord Is thai the hunting through out the state has been better than average with most hunters quite satisfied with the results exper ienced. Prom the northeast regional of fice at La Grande comes the word that hunting in that part of the state was excellent opening day, and all of the lockers in La Grande are full. The weather has been clear and cold, and thus far all the roads are open. Hot spot of the central region with headquarters locatea at aeaa, was In the Prineville-Ochoco for est area with many bucks taken from the area. One other favorite area, the china Hat region, south east of Bend did not produce as good as last yearvIn other areas or central Oregon Including the Bisters, Metolius, and Cascade re gions, hunters reported seeing plenty of deer. In the other region east of the Cascades, the Burns office of the game commission reported hunt ing as being good with good num bers of deer being taken. One old buck with seven polpts and weighing 254 pounds hog dressed was taken near Seneca. As else where on the east side, the weath er Is clear and cold. West of the mountains the re port was slightly different In some areas, and the commission office at Roseburg summed up the hunt ing as about the same as last vear. North farther, however, the hunting was good according to per sonnel at the Corvallts game com- mission office, with success in cer tain areas excellent. Lane County . came through with a high sue ' cess while the Linn County ratio was lower. Prospects are that hunting should hold up during the season fairly well, providing Jhe weatherman cooperates.

Adams said the Reclamation Bu reau, the Bonneville Power Ad ministration and the Army Corps of Engineers are presently at work construction budgets of lo2 million dollars. 'These partnership expendi tures mean that you will have an additional 641,000 kilowatts of gen erating capacity on the line by next June 30 and assuming the same rate of construction another 618,000 kilowatt in the next fiscal year. "This means there will be an ad ditional 60,000 ' acres of land brought into irrigated production on the Columbia Basin next spring and more each spring tor many years to come." Adams added, howerer, maxi mum development will depend upon a partnership program in cluding the federal government, state, public and private agencies. If you here In the Northwest wait for tax dollars to be collect ed from citizens all over the United States and to be appro priated by Congress," he said, "much of the work you want done will not get done, either on the scale you want or la the way you want." ' The President's assistant said the Federal Power Commission has receipted applications from 14 local groups proposing water pow er development on the Columbia and its tributaries.

Beall (R-Mdi asserted Tuesday unjusti fied ooffee price increases cost the American consuming public "an estimated 393 million dollars" from January to August. Beall made the statement at a public hearing by a Senate bank ing subcommittee. The group called New York Coffee and Sug ar Exchange officials before It for questioning about charges by the Federal Trade Commission that the exchange has engaged in un lawful restraints of trade contrib uting to the rise in colfee prices. "There is no evidence of a cof fee shortage today nor during the past year to Justify the increase in price," Beall declared. As leadoff witness, FTO Chair man Edward P. Howrey defend ed his commission's attempted crackdown on the exchange, and exchange president Gustavo Lo- oo jr. countercharged that the FTC has been "biased and inac curate" In its allegations. Both Howrey and Lobo had pre pared statements which they read to the subcommittee. 'These dealt primarily with a report the FTC Issued last July which contended that manipulation of the market, Phone 4153 HEATING OILS. for personalized Housewarmer service, call your Standard Heat ing Oil Distributor, or local Standard Oil Office.

Howrey said that since the com mission will sit as a quasi-Judicial body on its formal charges against the exchange It would be Improper for him to detail those accusations now. Lobo said the exchange will de fend itself- vigorously before the PTC, but that he hopes his testi mony d ei o r e tne suocommutee will "show on what filmy grounds" the FTO'a case Is based. Beall called for federal regula tion of the exchange, a step Lobo said it will resist. Beall said that witnesses at hearings before bis subcommittee last spring "attempted to Justify the spiraling coffee prices as a natural result of the July 1953 frost In Brazil and increased world wide consumption." He said he rejects those contentions, add ing: "A rise In coffee prices accur ately reflecting these factors would not have been intolerable to the consumer, nor caused the President to announoe that the FTC was conducting an extensive investigation and the senate to or der this inquiry." 821 Spring i7- t : ' i ... ly-.!'
