Hells (.anvon Hearings
Hearings have been underway in Salem the first part of this
week to help determine the future of Hells Canyon. The issue
is quite emotional, with strong groups and individuals taking
sides.
The State Water Resources board and the electric utilities
favor further development of the Snake River, while the
Oregon Environmental Council and Gov. Tom McCall are in
strong opposition. Some want Hells Canyon locked up from
everybody and everything, while others favor full
development of the river for power and recreational use.
Eastern Oregonians generally seem to favor further
development of the river. After all. if it weren’t for Owyhee
Dam and dams along the Snake River this would be rather a
bleak country , in fact most of us w ouldn’t be here. We would
have neither the rich agricultural development nor the cheap
electrical energy which we depend on for most of our needs.
And the great dams on the Snake. Owyhee. Boise. Payette
and smaller rivers furnish us with much of the recreational
enjoyment we receive from boating, fishing, camping and
related water sports
Personally, we have always felt that Hells Canyon, the
mightiest gorge in North America, should be seen and
enjoyed by all Americans. We think that it should be as
attractive a tourist mecca as the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. Niagara Falls. Crater Lake. Yosemite Park, or any
of the other wonders of this great country.
We had never seen Hells Canyon until Idaho Power
Company provided a fine highway up to its Hells Canyon
Dam. The three dams, the fine parks, the huge lakes, and the
recreational pleasure they have given to thousands seems to
us a plus asset for this area.
We have always agreed with former Idaho Governor and
Senator Len Jordon, who actually lived in Hells Canyon, that
the Snake River is a working river and should be developed to
its fullest. We have little fear that a dam or dams this side of
the point where the Salmon River enters the Snake River
would be destructive.
The power that they would generate, the highways that
would open that country to tourism, the recreational areas
they would open up would be some of the finest m the nation.
To restrict the area to the few who can now get in there seems
kind of selfish.
On the other hand, we have a feeling, and it isn’t based on
any authoritative knowledge, that the Salmon River should
alw ays be kept free of dams and development. This wild river,
as it criss-crosses Idaho, is accessible to tourists and only
touches base with civilization in a few spots such as Challis.
Salmon and Riggins.
The Snake, though, is the life-blood of Southern and
Central Idaho. Eastern Oregon and part of Washington. It
irrigates tens of thousands of acres, its dams provide
hydro-electric power to a whole empire, and it will soon
provide slack water navigation to Lewiston. We can't see how-
one or two more dams to complete the development of the
Snake as a true working river could be other than a benefit to
this area.
Some day this area will be accessible to the citizens of this
nation who wish to enjoy it. And if by chance they can see the
bottom of the gorge from the highest point, it won't look much
different if there is 500 feet of water or a thin stream running
over the rocks. And if they should see the wakes of a few
pleasure boaters or fishermen, we doubt if that sight would be
any less desirable than the wake of a commercial jet boat,
which is about all that can get in there now.

TWO OF THE SEVEN PAINTINGS of Mrs Bonita Witty
of the Big Bend-Adrian Community are pictured. She is the
featured artist at the Nyssa Public l ibrary during the month
of July.
Mrs. Witty has studied under Art Hart and Robert Peter at
the College of Idaho with oils. The paintings which arc on
display were all done while she was taking a class from Mike
McGuire at Treasure Valley Community College
"To me. what painting 1 can do can hardly be called a
hobby, for it seems just another facet of life one that many
times has been crowded by duties as a mother, teacher,
homemaker, or member of the community, but one that has
always been there When the brush isn’t in my hand. I paint
beautiful pictures in my mind, which, to my chagrin, always
turn out much, much lovelier than those that get on canvas."

Close the curtain
on summer heat!
That'., right. Closing <lr»[a-ri,-s, blintls or cur-
tains to keep out direct sunlight can reduce the heat
entering your house, substantially lightening your air
conditioner’s workload.
Other ways to get the best energy use out of your
air conditioning system:
• Install insulation to retard heat build-up
• Set your thermostat for 78 degrees, an ideal tem
perature for comfort and energy efficiency
• Once you set your thermostat, leave it there If the
entire family is away all day, however, you might
raise the setting five degrees
• Weatherstrip windows and doors and keep them
closed as much as possible
• Avoid heat build-up by adequate attic ventilation
