wild and snow-blanketed Owyhee;
Mountains at dawn today in
search of a 19-year-old youth who
became lost seeking help lor Ins
stranded parents.
The Owyhee County sheriff's
posse, bolstered hy the Idaho

. stranded about two miles from the
. ghost mining town of Silver City
Sunday afternoon when their car
broke down.
They stayed with their car un
til Monday morning when Delford
set out for Silver Cily.
Sheriff Al Barberis said the
youth had only an orange and
pocketful of gingersnaps. There is
no habitation within 20 miles of
the spot and snow drifts range to
five feet deep.
Wednesday morning the elder
Sharpe started hiking toward Mur-
phy, the Owyhee County scat ol
; some 50 population 24 miles away.
He was picked up by a rancher
. about 15 miles down the road
'. When Sharpe got to Murphy, a
I rescue party was organized. It
: bucked its way through a new"
: snow fall to reach Mrs. Sharpe
: and bring her to Murphy. No
trace was found of Delford.
The youth's anxious parents
waited for news of their son after
their rescue.

Fish Group
Cooperation
Draws Fire
SALEM i UPI The State Fish
Commission was charged with
lack of cooperation by members
of the Slate Game Commission at
a hearing before the Ways and
Means Natural Resources subcom
mittee Wednesday.
Commissioner John Amacher,
Roseburg, charged "they wanted
to carry the ball or they wanted
out."
Rollin Bowles, Portland, Game
Commission Chairman, said "we
got the brushoff."
The subcommittee wanted to
know why about $200,000 from
salmon and steelhead tag sales
had not been equally divided be
tween the two agencies.
'The money was supposed to
be fairly well divided." Sen. Wal
ter Leth, R-Salem, commented.
"I feel the game commission
hasn't lived up to legislative in
tent," Rep. Stafford Hansel), R
Hermiston,. added.
The Fish Commission has re
ceived only $20,000 of the tag rev
enue, instead of half the funds,
he said.
Hansell said he would give the
situation "another look."

A study by the Bureau of Rec

the chamber voted to urge the
Bureau of Reclamation to con

Clear Lake Unit.
Bailey said that continuance of
the study also had the endorse

other work which would provide
more water storage space at the
reservoir.
Bailey added that the develop
ment of the watershed was of es
pecial interest to the Pacific
Power and Light Company, since
the project, if successful, would
enable the lirm to have water lat
er in the year, when it is needed
most. i
George Proctor, chairman of llie
Agriculture Committee, remarked
that money to finance the proj
ect after the study is completed
would be contributed equally by
irrigation, power, fisheries and
reclamation interests. Proctor
said lurther that the program
would provide flood control lor
parts of the Basin and increase
the area available for fishing and
bird hunting. Emphasizing sports
men's interests, Proctor comment
ed that the U.S. Fish and Wild
life Service has asked for a
"firm" water supply for T u 1 e
Lake, although it has yet to be
determined whether the water
should come from Klamath Lake,

BPA Payout
Explained
WASHINGTON (UPI I Interim
Secretary Stewart Udall an
nounced payout procedures
beng used in most other major
river basins will be applied to the
Columba River power system.
Udall said repayment for the
Columba River system by Bonne
ville Power Administration here
after will be computed on a "con
solidated system basis."
This, he said, means that when
a federal power installation has
paid for itself, the dam will con
tinue as a working partner con
tributing financial support to all
other elements in the system, in
cluding those irrigation invest
ments chargeable to power reve
nues. For example, Bonneville Dam is
expected to repay its investment
by li)94 after which it will contin
ue to support financially the con
solidated system. Under the pres
ent method Bonneville Power Ad-
minstration computes repayment
on each dam individually over a
30-year period.
Udall said .it was estimated the
revised payout schedule would re
duce BPA's repayment obligations
by $7 million to $9 millon annual
ly. "However," he said, "these re
ductions in annual payout require
ments do not reduce the total ob
ligators." Doors Open 6:45

Railey later took a parting shot
at House BlU 1233. which would
establish a Department of Natural
Resources. Bailey stated that
his committee opposed passage ol
the bill since it would set up an
other bureau in a government al
ready administered by "too many
bureaus."
George Callison, reporting for
the Local and Slate Affairs Com
mittee, added that the bill would
remove t'ontrol of our natural
resources from interested conser
vation groups and place it into
the hands of an indiscernible bu
reau. The bill has been revised so
often since it was originally in
troduced before the legislature that
it has swelled to 154 pages.
The chamber decided to with
hold discussion of the bill until it
comes out of committee and nu
merous amendments, could be
studied.
The other measure brought be
fpre the chamber was House Bill
1825, which would require that a
10 per cent, tax be charged for ho
tel and motel accommodations of
less than one month's duration.
Callison's recommendation, on
behalf of the Local and State Af
fairs Committee, that the pro
posed bill be opposed was ap
proved by the chamber. The
principal objection to the tax was
that it was discriminating and
would hinder efforts to develop
tourism in the state.
Keith Cobo, director of the
Tourist and Contention Commit
tee, reported earlier to the Local
and State Affairs Committee that
in those states where a similar
law was in force, the local com
munities received part of the rev
enue collected from the tax. If
the bill were passed, Oregon

would be the only state in which
all of the tax revenue would go
to the slate government.
On one of three other mat
ters. Brooks Dickerman, co-director
of the Industrial Development
Committee, reported that Harold
Rose, vice president of Hayden
Xewport Industries, would arrive
here from Florida in May to seek
a potential site for an industrial
here from Florida in May to seek
a potential site for an industrial
plant to process tree stumps.
The firm, with main offices in
New York City and its central
plant in Florida, was the only
bidder on two million tons of
pine tree stumps in the Des
chutes, Winema and Fremont na
tional forests. The company bid
$2.27 per tun and agreed to con
struct a plant somewhere in the
Bend-Klamath Falls region which
would employ about 100 persons
to process -chemical extracts from
the stumps.
Dickerman said that the east
ern firm indicated interest in the
acquisition of the former Johns
Manville plant, near Chiloquin.
now owned by the Boise-Cascade
Company of Idaho.
The interest shown in the area
by the chemical company spurred
the Industrial Development Com
mittee to take stock of the as
sets of Klamath Falls as applied
to industry, Dickerman said.
If this city is to attract large
new businesses it must have in
dustrial sites available, he added.
A survey team composed of mem
bers of his committee has locat
ed suitable property east of Wash
burn Way and is in the process
to determining the value of that
land, Dickerman said further. The
chamber will not purchase the
property, but seeks to "tie it up"
like
3 ;
VvHt it!
hi
so it would be available to indus
try, he concluded.
On another subject, Dickerman
said that Al Lynch would repre
sent the National Development
Committee on the newly or
ganized nutn Employment Com
mittee, which was established
through the local office of t h e
State Department of Employment
to assist students seeking work
during summer.
A final report came from Deb
Addison, chairman of the Roari
and Highways Committee, who
related that two major bonding
programs, weer in the legislative
mill which, if passed, would fi
nance a large highway project in
the Portland Mt. Hood area and
the construction of a bridge across
the Willamette River. ,
Addison stated that he had con
sulted legislator Carrol Howe and
found him optimistic that the bills
would be voted down in com
mittee. The Chamber of Commerce
went on record in January as op
pqsing the financing of highway
construction through bonding pro
grams. The matter was brought', out
at that time when the Oregon
Coast Association was lobbying
for a one-cent gas tax on gaso
line to finance bonds for the con
struction of a highway in t h e
western part of the state.
Establishing a tax levy explicit
ly to finance construction of roads
in counties represented by the
Oregon Coast Association would
be unfair, because counties out
side of the association would also
be contributing to the project, Ad
dison had said. Revenues from
such taxes should be beneficial
to all of the counties and not a
select few, it was explained.
