Several weeks ago, the call for bids brought only one bidder and his figure was almost 16,000 over the estimate. Last night, live bidders offered figures on the project which has been estimated at $14,385.50. Low bidder was Trio Construction Company of Creswell. Ore., at $14,382.50. Other bidders were: N. R.

Robert Y. Thornton and ask the legislature for specific authority to lease Ore gon's tidelands. The decision grew out of a re cent opinion by the attorney gen eral that the board lacked author ity to grant a lease to Shell Oil Co. for oil and gas exploration on Oregon lands. A spokesman for the company. Durland E. Clark Jr. of Los An geles, said company legal coun sel disagreed with the Thornton opinion. Clark said that if Shell had felt the land board lacked authority to grant the lease it would not have submitted the proposal to the board. In the proposed lease. Shell offered to pay $150,000 annually for the right to explore exclusive ly 541,000 acres of coastal sub merged lands and 59,000 acres of submerged land in the bed of the Find Voman In Trunk VALE, Ore. (AP) A woman police said was locked In the trunk of an automobile for three days was recovering in an On tario hospital today. Mrs. Lucille Schoonover left home in the family car Friday. Her husband a little time later re ported to police that she was missing and said he was concern ed because she bad been under a physician's care. Monday evening, state police game officer Chester Hostick came upon an apparently aban doned car on a rarely used road north of Vale. There were no tracks in the snow, be said, so it appeared it had been there for a few days. As he was inspecting it, he heard a woman's muffled voice cry for help. It came from the locked trunk. Unable to open the trunk, he ripped out the back of the seat, freed Mrs. Schoonover and took her to a hospital where she was reported today to be in satisfac tory condition. She said she had been in the trunk three days. There was no clear explanation for her plight. The keys to the car trunk were in her pocket. Her husband said she had not been well. :- Boy, 10, Hit By Automobile; James Daulton, 10, was struck by a car while riding his bike to school on Altamont Drive Tues day morning. The boy was taken by Peace Ambulance to Klamath Valley Hos pital for. treatment of a minor ankle injury. State police said the car was driven by Ronald Bouchard, 3204 Altamont. Bouchard told them he didn't see the boy, who was rid ing on the road's shoulder near state police headquarters, officers said. Investigation Is continu ing. The boy k the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Daulton, 4331 Bisbee Street. Co HM Columbia River the. whole of Oregon's tidelands. , This would have given the com pany the exclusive right to oil exploration along the entire Ore gon coast extending from the beach three miles out into the ocean. The lease also contained a provision so that state would get a 12 per cent royalty if any oil was discovered.. Clark said that Oregon law says 1 tat MlhA iuiwak nronliiH it, that "the power granted vested severally in the state of Oregon. . , . " He added that the law says that "the power is self operating without any subse quent legislation." Thornton said that this point was considered and evaluated in the formation of his opinion. He said the history of the Oregon at torney general's office has been to consider tidelands separate from on shore property. - He pointed out that the board is not compelled to follow his ad-1 vice but that by following the advice the members Gov. Mark Hatfield, Secretary of State How ell Appling and State Treasurer Howard Belton are protected from any liability should the court overturn the opinion later. He said 1 that conversely they are not pro tected from liability if they do not follow the ruling. Appling said that in an Oct. 15, 1953, letter to the board Thornton said the right to use, develop and lease submerged state lands was under the jurisdiction of the State Land Board. .' Thornton said that in the final paragraph of his most recent opinion he said that it modified any previous opinions. He said that if the board had acted under the Oct. 15, 1953, opinion it would have been safe from any . lia bility. Hatfield asked Thornton to pre pare' specific data for a recom mended measure that the legisla ture could be asked to approve BELL'S HARDWARE FIREBASKETS BLACK 6' !'
