THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1956 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE TWENTY-NINE California Board Sets Water Action SACRAMENTO (UP) The Wa ter Resources Board has taken the tlrst step toward conserving ;3 million acie-fcet ol water each ' year In the Ilood-sU'lcken North Coast area of California. The board requested the De parlment of Finance to file appli rations lor water rights on six major North Coast streams and approved a plan for IS major aams and reservoirs. The board also received a mas ter plan for 44 other "local" water projects in the North Coast area. But the board ordered no water rights filings on these streams as yet. The first 15 reservoir projects are designed to handle "export ' waters from the Trinity, Klamath. Eel, Van Duzen, Mad and Smith rivers. Combined with the pro posed California aqueduct system they would stoic and transport 13 million acre-feet of water a year la the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California. The watershed involved extends from the Oregon border to San Francisco Bay. The 44 projects on which the board took no action for water rights, are envisioned as local projects to provide irrigation, do mestic flood control and recrea tional uses In the counties of origin. The report said the north coastal portion of the state has 41 per cent of all 'the water in California, but only four per cent of 'the need. The report estimated total use of water in California some day would increase five-fold, necessi tating conservation of most of tnc 71.000,000 acre feet runoff avail able In the state. Nearly 30,000,000 acre feet of that is in the north coast, the report said. Art Events Calendar Great Books Club meets January 26, at the city library, 8 p.m. "St, Augustine's Confessions."

The report divided development of north, coastal surplus waters in to the Klamath-Trinity Division and the Eel River Division. In the Klamath-Trinity Division, works would be constructed to de velop surplus flows of the south fork of the Smith, the Klamath, the Trinity, the Van Duzen and the Mad rivers.. The conserved wa ters would be conveyed to the Sacramento Valley, largely by tunnel conduit through the Trinity Mountains, for further transmis sion to southern areas. Major reg ulating resorvoirs would be built along both the Klamath and Trin ity nvers from the vicinity of their Junction upstream. Works In the Eel River Di vision would include major conser vation reservoirs on the Eel River and its Middle Fork. Pumping plants would take surplus water up the Eel to tunnels leading to the Sacramento River Basin, the Napa Valley by way of Clear Lake, and to the Russian River Basin and lands north of San Francisco. ' Total storage capacity of the 15 major projects would be 39,920,000 acre feet. Largest projects in the series would be Beaver Dam on the Trinity and Slate Creek on the Klamath River. The second half of the water development plan would provide water for the ultimate needs of local residents. The projects were divided In three groups six dams on the Smith River, Klamath River, and Trinity River group; 12 dams on the Redwood Creek and Eel River group; and 26 dams in a Mendocino-Sonoma group. A breakdown of the 15 major projects in the first half of the report: Klamath River: Hamburg Res ervoir immediately below the con fluence of the Scott and Klamath rivers would store 1,850,000 acre feet of water which would flow through a power plant. Further regulation of the Klamath would be provided by Happy Camp Res ervoir, three miles downstream from the community of Hap py Camp. Water would flow through a power plant and to Slate Creek Reservoir, down stream from- Happy Camp and seven miles upstream from the confluence of the Klamath and Trinity. Canthook Dam on the Smith River and South Fork would be transported to Slate Creek Res ervoir by pump. Water from Slate Creek Reservoir would go by gravity to Beaver Reservoir on the Trinity, to be describee later. Humboldt Dam and Reser voir, 20 miles downstream from the confluence- of the Klamath and Trinity would complete the control of the Klamath River. Trinity River: Beaver Reserr voir, as described earlier, would store some water of the Klamath, South Fork and Smith rivers. In addition, the 7,760,000 acre-foot reservoir would control some run off of the Trinity River Basin. The reservoir would be six miles upstream from the confluence of tlie Trinity and Klamath. Burnt Ranch Dam would be three miles upstream from Beaver Dam. Eat on Dam on the Van Duzen River would be built 1.6 miles down' stream from Dinsmore. Waters of the Mad River would be con served on Ranger Station Reser voir, one mile downstream from Mad Rive'r Camp. Eaton and Ranger Station would be con nected by tunnel. Eltapom Dam would be built on the South Fork of the Trinity downstream from Hyampom Valley. Helena Dam would be constructed 3.7 miles downstream from the confluence of the Trinity and its north fork. Discharges from Eltapom and Helena dams would feed into Burnt Ranch Reservoir. From there all waters of the Smith, Klamath, Trinity, Mad and Van Duzen rivers could be diverted through Big Flag Tunnel east into the Sacramento Valley. Eel River: Sequoia Reservoir 10 miles upstream from the mouth of the south fork of the Eel River and one mile from the community of Sequoia would be the lowermost feature.

HOME EXTENSION ALTAMONT , By Mrs. Joe Schuh The Altamont Extension Unit met at Joan's Kitchen on Tues day, January 3 to learn a few pointers in making sweet dough and the types of rolls which can be made from sweet dough. Mrs. Joe Schuh and Mrs. Herbert L. Willey led the demonstration and discussion. Sweet dough, being softer and more workable than plain dough adapts itself to more varied types of rolls and rings. Mrs. Willey demonstrated the roll ing and shaping of numerous types of rolls, including cinnamon rolls and tea rings which may be used or dessert. A refrigerator dough was used for shaping the rolls and It was clearly demonstrated that a re frigerator dough is much easier to handle and shape than a fresh warm dough. However, It is im portant in making a refrigerator dough to use a recipe that was In tended for this purpose because the proportion of yeast and sugar and liquids and flour vary from those of an ordinary basic recipe. Mrs. Schuh followed up' this por tion of the demonstration by show ing the methods used to mix a batter dough and a basio kneaded dough, with which most persons are familiar. The batter dough has become very popular in recent years because of the spread with which the final product may be obtained. The necessity for proper temperatures to dissolve the yeast and raise the dough was empha sized. During the business session Mrs. Donald Groves led a discussion on program planning for the com ing years. Some ideas on pro grams which received favorable comment were "cooking of wild WHIG CAOdELS U.S. JET PLAtlBS game In order to utilize and make more palatable some of the nat ural resources of this area; sewing and fitting, especially for becln- ners; and using leftovers. Knitting ana a cotton dress workshop were both discussed as possibilities for a workshop. , A delicious luncheon featuring the use of rolls with salads was served by Mis. Pete Coiley, Mrs. Richard Teater, Mrs. Bertll sho- gren, Mrs. Herbert Willey and Mrs. Joe Schuh. Twenty two mem- oera ana guests were present, Feather River Project Said 'Blanket Policy' SACRAMENTO (UP) A Cali fornia water expert said today he considers an independent engineer ing study of the proposed Feather River Project a "blanket endorse ment of the state's plan." Theodore Neuman, In charge of FRP planning in the Division of Water Resources, said the lengthy report by Bechtel Corp. of San Francisco upholds the state's con tention that the project is both financially and engineering sound. "On the whole, I think the Bech tel report expresses approval of the state plan," Neuman said. "It makes minor suggestions for Im provement and has some criticism of our deslpn assumptions. "But, generally, It endorses the project." The Bechtel report was request ed by the Legislature which all thorhed the expenditure' of $250, 000 to get an independent point of view about the merits of the proj ect, a Hi billion dollar plan to dam Feather River In Butte Coun ty and furnish additional water as far south as San Diego County.- While the Bechtel report did not take a specific stand on the ques tion of state or federal operation of the San Luis Dam and Reser voir site in Merced County, it did: 1. Urge the Legislature to ac quire the site of the San Luis Reservoir for the state. 2.

The report said the state's en gineering concepts for the massive undertaking are considered sound." As for financing, it said general obligation bonds would be the most economical and practical means of financing the project. , while the Bechtel report stressed that It offered no solution to Such problems besetting the FRP as the county of origin water rights con troversy, the engineering firm ap pealed to the Legislature to resolve its differences and get on with construction of the project by say ing: ' .. : . ;.( "A comprehensive and orderly development of the state of Cali fornia's water resources is essen tial, and the existing and incipient deficiencies In several areas re quire1 settlement, of sectional, pol icy and legal differences hamper ing or preventing coordinated ac tion tovinltiate such developments for the common good." .
