Klamath Falls. He has been doing
this lor the past three weeks, and
logs from the right of way clear

mill by William Wampler. Chilo-
quin logging contractor. Logging
will soon by halted by deep snow
and will be resumed in the

Caterpillars and other heavy
equipment were moved last month
to the road building site from
Woodlcaf, California, where the
Fishers recently completed a log

At present they have two woods
operations under way near Red

at Rainbow lake, located 30 miles
northwest of Redding, managed
until recently by Harry (Sonny)
McAllister. Last week Carl Fish
er was called from the Fort Klam

perintend the Rainbow Lake log
ging, as McAllister had received
a severe accidental neck injury.
Clyde Maupin was left here in
charge in Fisher's absence.
The second logging contract is
at Minersville, 20 miles southeast
of Redding, where Thomas Fish
er is superintendent. Logging at
both sites is being done for the
U.S. Plywood Company of Red
ding; The Fisher business office is
also located at Redding.
The Fisher brothers and some of
their crew members are no strang

borhood, as they had engaged in
considerable ogging in the vicinity
several year's ago. Their last con

neville Power Administration," he
said.
However, Cecil C. Clark of
Wapato, president of the. Wash
ineton Stale Reclamation Assn
charged the proposal on the
grounds lhat freedom of restraint
on the five-member corporation
board and its manager could lead
to "one-man rule and dictator
ship."
Agreement in principle was ex
pressed by Dean Barline, director
of utilities for the City of Tacoma.
But Barline criticized two provi
sions in the contemplated bill.
He said the section giving the
corporation power to condemn
utilities could be misused.
He also objected to the provision
giving .the corporation manager
permission to allocate power to
chosen areas under the board's
jurisdiction. This would be a re
versal of the present Bonneville
Power Administration regulation
which grants public utility corpor
ations first call on power.
Others who opposed the plan in
cluded Donald H. Thompson of
Port Orchard, representing the
South Kitsap Chamber of Com
merce: Galen Wiley, executive
secretary of Ihe'Washington State
Farm Bureau; C. David Gordon.

Assn. of Washington Industries,
and Dean H. Eastman, Seattle

Earl Coe, director of the State
Department of Conservation, testi
fied he was appearing for Gov.
Albert D. o Roscllini and that the
state was In strong support of the
measure.
Others favoring the bill included
a representative of Luke S. Gra
ham, chairman of the State Demo
cratic Central Committee and a
former superintendent of Seattle
