TAXES & SPENDING
Dick Magruder opposes increas
ed legislative pay and believes
tax revenues must be more ef
ficiently used to insure local
property tax relief. Dick Ma
gruder believes your m oney be
longs in your pocket— not in his.
During the term of our present
representative, legislative pay
and benefits have increased from
$1,200 to over $10,000 per term.
An increase of over 800%.
Our
zw
representative has supported all
pay raise measures and even
sponsored a pension plan for leg
islators.

MANDATORY ZONING
During the term of our present
representative, property rights
have been sharply curtailed. A l
though a referendum showed
that 86 per cent of Columbia
County voters opposed manda
tory statewide zoning, our pre
sent representative actively sup
ported and helped to pass such
a zoning law .
Dick Magruder believes that it
is a representative's duty to re
present YOU, and not impose
mandatory statewide zoning and
feels that citizens of local areas
should be able to decide zoning
matters for them selves.

Dick Magruder believes ineffec
tive representation is respon
sible for our small share of high
w ay funds. He offers aggres
sive leadership in the battle for
highw ay improvement.
During the term oi our present
representative, Clatsop County
received $39,972,000 in primary
highw ay construction funds —
Columbia County received only
$10,052,000.

I wonder just how much hit
ter opposition, from the people
would have been forthcoming,
to the dams already built, es
pecially in the Snake, if the
public in general could have
foreseen the damage, and total
destruction of the fish runs that
resulted from their construc
tion?
Certainly the citizens of Idaho
would not have eagerly sought
the Idaho Power dam complex
if they thought their construc
tion would mean the total loss
of all anadromus fish runs
above these stream-blocks.
Power company spokesmen
could see nothing but sucess
for all their elaborately engine
ered fish facilities and sold
many the idea that all it took
was an out-pouring of company
dollars to solve fish passage
problems.
Oxbow dam proved to be the
end of the trail for the Snake
river fish runs above its site.
After an outlay of over five
million dollars for traps, ele
vators, tank trucks, skimmer
nets, and other gimmicks, which
proved unworkable, the once
great runs of salmon and steel
head were wiped out. The run
of fall chinook into this area
was around 30,000 fish in 1958.
This was the fish which so
long supported commercial fish
ermen and delighted sportsmen
by the thousands every fall.
At PGE’s Pelton dam, built
incideotly against the wishes of
the state of Oregon and without
a state license, several million
dollars worth of fish facilities
failed miserably, and anglers to
day have forgotten about the
salmon and steelhead which
used the area above the dam
site.
Now power companies and
PUD’s seek to dam the last
wild stretch of the Snake and
their spokesmen talk loudly of
the wonderful recreation area to
develop within the dam area
after the dam or dams are built.
It is this writer’s opinion that
Hells canyon should be desig
nated as an wilderness area or
even a national park, but with
out any more dams to tame this
last stretch of free flowing
Snake river.

Memories of Long Ago
As my mind goes back
through the years of tim e I
think of February. 1922 when I
came to the beautiful Nehalem
Valley undisturbed by man e x
cept for the homes here and
there.
My first night in Vernonia 1
stayed in the little hotel owned
by Mrs. Olive Powell. I would
like to state that she was quite
a power plant, able to do the
work of two average women,
and she was doing just that.
It has been about 48 years
since I met “Mother” Powell,
as I have always called her and
as many others do. She was
always a friend and a mother
to whoever was in need.
I would like to take this op
portunity to express my grati
tude for the privilege of know
ing and having this dear per
son as a friend these many
years.
To me it was a special pri
vilege to have my picture tak
en with her on her 100th birth
day.
I, with many other friends,
wish her the best of what life
has to offer, and at last a home
in God’s Kingdom.
A Friend,

Oregon sport fishermen will
have many new waters in which
to test their angling skill be
ginning May 23. The date marks
the opening of all coastal streams
to trout fishing and the high
lakes in the Cascades, Paulina,
and Siskiyou mountins. In most
waters the seasons will extend
through October 31.
Streams along the coast are
reported to be in excellent
shape and good trout fishing re
suits can be expected. Anglers
are reminded that the mini
mum length limit in these wa
ters is 8 inches. This important
regulation provides protection
to downstream migrant salmon
and steelhead, most of which
will range from 5 to 7 inches
in length.
Cutthroat trout have been
stocked
in
many
coastal
streams for the opening week
end. With wild populations of
cutts also in the streams, ang
lers should make some fine
catches.
Fishermen are advised that
many lakes remain snowbound
and frozen over. Cold weather
and snow blizzards in the high
country this spring have slow
ed the snow-melt and it is dif
ficult to keep abreast of areas
opening up. Anglers should
check locally for the latest road
and snow conditons.
