Add to that the commission's hiring of Lew Stanley, new state engineer, to do Its technical work. Tl la ! 11111. h nAlnn av . . v a a .II.IL avtici . lii.l.iuii to realise the full significance of we recent announcements ny ine uregon ana cailiorma ikiamain River commissions. The first announcement was that of full agreement on an Interstate compact on beneficial use of the waters of the Klamath River sys tem. It still must be ratified by the two states and the Congress. The second announcement was that of lull agreement on terms of a contract between the United Ktataa inn tha ralifni.i.la rtHaaatta Power Company on regulation and use of Klamath water In the upper Dnsin ana tne river canyon. The work of the two commis sions, with the power company and Reclamation, resolved problems on hanaflrtal ilea nt uatat that hairs been unresolved since Uie first lr- ligation aitcn was dug and the first hydroelectric turbine turned When this contract is signed by ine government and is acted on by the two slates the Klamath Basin Will hi flK-tiraH nf full iliulnnniMit of all land that can be Irrigated ana development oi me lull nydro- eiectric potential in me river eanvon.

Seems that the rice crop Is more important wan wneat or oar ley. Something to think about any way. Thinking again In terms of long range chamber of commerce ef fort, It was back In 1945 that we successfully fought off the Army Engineers proposal to divert the water south. A similar Reclama tion proposal was wrestled during the 1649-81 period. In March 1B52 the continuing Water Policy was adopted. That statement of policy Is: It is agreed that agriculture shall have prior use of all waters orig inating In the Upper. Klamath Ba sin; That all remaining waters, in cluding return flow, shall be al lowed to return to their historical channels; That private enterprise shall be encouraged to develop all the po tential hydroelectric power on the Klamath River. It was from deliberations In forming this policy that the idea came for creating the , Klamath River Commissions. i Rnaakltia. nf huntlntr rantinata tin that word cornea from over In Lake Pmint.U- thAl m fatllntU hw that nan... of Ivan Moore, s Eugene resident, xuiea a muiey duck.

Duck Herding By BILL JENKINS now mat the grain harvest Is out oi me way and suggestions are loo late we get a letter from a fellow by the name nf r. a v... hart, a member of the US Coast tuaru. witn a new idea on the duck handling altualion. He allows as how the use of surplus blimps such aa those used on World War One ship convoys and which hung over me English countryside during the hectlo days of the bus bombs could be pressed into service. A blimp at esch corner of a field, perhaps, with one or more moored near the center, each with a line (sailor's word for rope) eith er dangling from It or connected to the other gaa bags from which oould be suspended bits of cloth aluminum foil and other bright fhb"'hlJ,ht..mlght "rv t0 'rlghten me birds off.

I think th'st a duck haa enough reasoning power to figure out that tha herders aren i trying to kill him a. though s lot of thein are killed and left laying but only to ingnien mm off. so at best all he doea la rise off the ground, move over a few yards snd settle down in another patch of grain where he resumes his leisurely feeding. Just like anything else, you don't I always admired him," recalled juie, wno doesn't go Into politics but puts an equal glow on Demo crats and Republicans alike. Louie, who says "with me busi ness is always looking up," has raised two children. At the age of 18 Louie's father took him back to Italy, s "They paid me 16 cents a day to carrv rocks, fnr a rmiiiis Louie said, "and I told them If' l could only see America again I would never aee Italy again." After four months I nil, a AA come back to the United States, became a cltlsen and never has returned to Italy. "I still don't want to go back," he said. "I have nobody there any more only my three nephews b" my sister-in-law.

Louie, who Is 6 feet 5, and combs his gray sideways across (he top to spin th. bald spot, un derwent a serious throat opera lion last March. He waa off work three full weeks, the longest ab sence of hla life, and hundreds of his clients missed him. "TheV sent flnnara ..i-. .. books to the hospital," said Louie. But they didn't miss me. They missed my shines. Without me where could they go and get a good shine? I always bring a good shine to them." Louie feels better now. He's worked back to his 60 shines a day schedule. "tile Is very good." he said But you atand on your knees all day and by night you are tired." Maybe Louie also becomes wearied because of (he number of hla clients who depend on his con slant, gallant grmd cheer to re furbish their spirit aa he brightens their shoes. Above all, Louis, who never went to war. is a soldier. He haa gone to the same old battlefront dally, year after year and at K still files his flag In hit smile and never cries tor help.
