negotiations were carried on for
severar years. 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riod of 50 years, superseded a sim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.

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.
