BOAT LAUNCHING SITE A gravel surfaced boat launching site provides sports
men with the only small craft launching ramp on the east side of the lake. Later this
summer when the spring reaches its low water mark, the Klamath County Park Com
mission will arrange to lay a concrete surface over the lower end of the ramp and
cover the upper end with an asphalt coating.
BRIDGE SPANS BARCLAY SPRINGS A wooden footbridge which bisects the sev.
en-acre park, will take pedestrians from the picnic area to the trailer park and boat
launchinq site. In eerly Klamath County history, the springs once teemed with salmon
and were a favorite stopping point for travelers en route north and south.
One of the favorite restinR
places fnr travelers who jour
neyed alone the east shore of
Klamalh Lake during Orecon's
early history has become desig
nated as Hagelstein Park and
will open to the public later this
summer with facilities attractive
to the overnight trailer camper,
as well as the daytime visitor.
Familiar to local residents as
Barclay Springs, the new park is
nearing completion after nearly
one year of construction work in
volving landscaping of the
grounds, designing of a picnic
area, building of restroom facili
ties equipped with electric out
lets, exca'vation work for a boat
launching ramp, and the designa
tion of an area for trailer camp
ing which is to be provided with
running water and picnic tables,
The site will be the only publicly-owned
campground for over
night trailer camping on Highway
97 between Weed, Calif. southern
terminus of the highway and
Spring Creek, which also offers
facilties for tent campers.
The picnic area, located in the
western portion of the park is
being equipped with three or four
barbecue pits and 10 nionic ta
bles, which are now being as
sembled by Earl Kessler, park
director and employe of the Coun
ty Roads Department.
Trees are to be planted in the
picnicking site later this year to
enhance the beauty of the grounds
which have been seeded through
most of the park, including the
trailer parking area.
The trailer campground will ac
commodate 10 trailers, including
five about 5S feet in length, two
of 40 feet in length, and three
approximately 14 feet long. A pic
nic table and water spigot will
be located at each trailer stall.
South of the trailer camp near
the southern boundary of the park
is the only boat launching site on
the eastern shore of Klamath
Lake. The launching site pro
vides access to Barclay Springs,
which flows west under the high
way and then follows the road
north about 100 yards before flow
ing under the Southern Pacific
train tressle into Klamath Lake.
The boat landing is gravel sur
faced, but next July or August
when the creek reaches its low
water mark, its upper end will be
covered with asphalt and the low
er strip will receive a concrete
coating.
A modern restroom equipped
with two lavatories, two com
modes, six mirrors and as many
plug-ins is located across the road
from the trailer park, within short
walking distance from any area
in the park.
Land for the establishment of
the park site was acquired through
the State Land Board and the
Hagelstein estate for which the
park was named.
Constructed at a cost to the
county of about $20,000, the park
is the first such facility to he
administered by the County Parks
Commission. Another park is ex
pected to be established soon on
Lost River, near Olcne, and will
include a one and four-tenths acre
strip of land which will be donat
ed to the county by George Stevenson.

nut of the crucial Judiciary Com
mittee. The bill is expected to come up
for Assemhly action early next
week. It will be a month after
that before it faces the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
As McMillan's bill now is
framed it would grant a 4-year
moratorium on the death penal,
ty to all but twice-convicted mur
derers, double slayers, kidnap
murderers, prisoners who kill
while in an institution and any
person who kills a peace officer.
Specifically excluded from the
moratorium are the 43 persons
now on death row in San Qucntin.
In place of the death sentence,
the maximum penalty would be
life in prison without possibility
of parole. But the governor would
still retain his traditional powers
to commute the sentence to a
definite term and to pardon.
At Wednesday's hearing pro
ponents claimed that the death
penalty "brutalizes" society,
causes crime and sometimes kills
the wrong man.
Opponents said it deters crime
and suggested that the entire
matter of abolition of the death
penalty be put up to a vote of
the state's citizens.
Ally. Gen. Stanley Mosk was
the administration's major wit
ness. Although conceding the death
penalty may be a deterrent to
murder, Mosk told the commit
tee the execution of a killer was
an "obscene pageant."
Mosk characterized the McMil
lan bill as an attempt to say to
persons who oppose abolition of
the death penalty; "Won't you
try fnr just four years to see
whether we can get rid of the
death penalty in certain categor
ies of crimes without endanger
ing society?"
"With confinement and an in
telligent program of penology."
said Mosk, "most of our mur-

Others to testify in favor of the
bill included George Edwards. De

Pennsylvania criminologist, and
Father Edward Dincberc. former
chaplain at San Qucntin.

grammed by Assemblyman
.George Dcukmejian, R - Long
Beach. He claimed the bill would
have the effect of making "gui.

abiding citizen" who may be mur

A major witness for the onpo-
sition was J. Miller Lew. Los

citizen." In addition, he said, the
state should not wait until the
criminal gels "a double or a
triple" before executing him.
Assemblyman E. Richard
Barnes, R-San Diego, a Navy
chaplain for 20 years, quoted
the scriptures to prove hit case
lor the death penalty.
He called attention of the com
mittee to Chapter 9 of Genesis
which says: "Whosoever shed-
deth man's blood by man shall
his blood be shed." He also re
ferred to Exodii (or a statement
that "He that tmiteth man so that
he dies shall be surely put to
death."
In answer McMillan said he
was convinced God was on his
side. "God doesn't want us to
take a life," he said.
After the hearing ended, Mc
Millan told newsmen that he felt
the prospects for Assembly ap
proval were "good" but said only
that chances of favorable Senate
action were "better than ever bo-fore."
