The engineers last week made public their new water resource development plan for the Colum bia Basin, which extends throuch portions of Washington.- Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Canada. Some of the proposed dams, which would have to be authorized by Congress and constructed with appropriated money, are opposed by fishermen, hunters and con servationists. Some are at sites sought by private power companies. One, Libby, is mixed in an inter national dispute. Libby dam in the Kootenai Kiver spelled Kootenay in Canada where it heads) has the highest price tag of any of the proposed projects, $307,900,000. This big dam in nortnwcsiern Montana, long considered a key project in the Army engineers' main control plan, would back water into Canada.

Another controversial project recommended by the Army engi neers, Bruces teldy dam in the Clearwater River's north fork, would cost an estimated $127.- 166.000. Sen. Henry Dworshak (R-ldaho) has been advocating Bruces Eddy for years, claiming almost two dollars would be returned in bene fits from the project for every dol lar invested in it. The benefits would include power and flood control. A leader in opposition to Brucos Eddy,' speaking for conservation groups, has been Sen. Richard L. Neubergcr (D-Orcl. Opponents claim the dam would destroy big game rangeland and large num bers of salmon and steelhead (sea going rainbow trout.) The lowoi canyon project in the Salmon River. Idaho, was named in the Army engineers major water plan but it is not recom mended for authorization pending solution ol tish passage problems. The Salmon River has major fish resources. Opposition to dams in this stream will be strong until ways are found to get salmon past them. Adult fish swim up the river to spawn and the fingerlings re turn to the sea.
