Compact articles ac ceptable to all concerned were agreed upon and ratified bv the Legislature ot Oregon, the Legisla ture ot uautornia, signed by the respective governors on April 17, M57, and on August 29. 1957 the congressional bill approving t h e compact was signed by President Eisenhower. 4. Copco Contract Relative to Operation ot Link River Dam A contract made on January 31, 1956 between the United States, Bureau of Reclamation (Department of the Interior), representing the w a t e r users of the Klamath Project, and The California Oregon Power Com pany, defines the conditions under which Link River Dam, which con trols Upper Klamath Lake, will be operated by the power company. This contract, which is for a pe riod of 50 years, superseded a sim ilar contract dated February 24, 1917. It is particularly significant in water conservation since a fa vorable power rate of 6 mills per Kwn is made available to the proj ect water users for irrigation and drainage pumping. It also recog nizes a preference of uses favor able to development of the Basin's land and water resources. Local groups and organizations partici pated in the negotiations. Agreement of the operation of Link River Dam also cleared the way for Federal Power Commis sion's approval of Copco's power plant construction now underway at Big Bend below Keno. 5. Termination of Federal Super. vision over Properties of Klamath ' Tribes Public Law 587 passed by the 83rd Congress, approved August 13. 1954 provided1 proce dures for termination of such su pervision. Since the propefties in volved constitute a substantial part ol the resources of the Basin area, the change in status may consid erably alfect the Basin economy and the rate of resource development. 6. Interior Secretary's Decision on Use of Public Lands The most recent action of consequence to development in the Basin was Interior Secretary Seaton s deci- sion of April 1, 1958 on the "home stead versus lease" controversy concerning the public lands in the Lower Klamath and Tule Lake areas. This decision offers a solu tion to a controversy which has existed for nearly a quarter of a century over the question of wheth er several thousand acres of for mer water area drained by the Klamath Federal Reclamation Project is to be used for home steading or retained in wildlife ref uges. 7. Continuing Programs Al though singular accomplishments such as the above indicate definite progress, other day by day efforts have contributed greatly to a full er conservation and utilization of our,.water resource. Activities in conservation education, forest and range management, wildlife man agement and recreation are all in terrelated with water. Progress in any of these activities is progress in water conservation.

ALL Legislative Survey Hit By Siskiyou Outdoorsmen DUNSMUIR - Southern Siskiyou sportsmen challenged the validity of a state legislative survey of the Fish and Game Commission on Saturday when visited by J. D. Lauckhart or beatlle, state game official and Fred Ross of Redding, game management supervisor. The men met with James Lam bert, president of the Dunsmuir Rod and Gun Club; D. E. War ren, president of the Weed Gun iuu gnu vile presiuem ui me Northern Counties Wildlife Conser vation Association; and Andy Wheeler of McCloud. Boyd Pitman of Yreka, another member of the conservation association, phoned his concurrence of opinion during the meeting. Lauckhart outlined the survey procedure in the retention of Booze, Allen and Hamilton, management consultants of ban Francisco, who in turn asked Ernest Swift of Washington, D.C., head of the Wildlife Federation, to hire quali fied men to survey all phases of the Fish and Game Commission operation. He introduced himsell as the expert retained to survey deer programs. Lambert inquired how a clear picture of the deer situation could be obtained from a superficial sam pling of opinion and asked why a man with possibly preconceived opinions had been hired. He unloaded a series of griev ances dating to the authorization of a 195fi doe season over local protests, and release of Fish and Game Commission news stories that failed to note opposition to policies. Warren staled the mule deer herd is one of Siskiyou County's biggest assets. He suggested a stepped-up winter range and water program, curtailment of sheep and cattle grazing in game refuges and national forest lands and some at tention to local opinion. The three local men gave ep proval to the Busch Bill which pro vides for supervisory veto of doe hunts and unit management of deer herds but promised vigilance to see that it was properly ad ministered. They were unanimous in their opinion that the either sex hunt in 1956 decimated the mule deer herd in Siskiyou County and cited for Lauckhart that according to their own deer tag count, the 1957 deer kill was off 50 per cent from the previous year. About 43 per cent of the acci dental deaths of farm people in Ohio occur to persons 65 years of age or older. SNAPSHOT COMPETITION Check with favorite film proceiior Good!
