KLAMATH RIVER
 VALLEY STARTS
 A CONTROVERSY
Whether it Shall Be Play ground or Workshop
 Must Be Answered.

SAN FRANCISCO, July G.. Workshop or playground, which shall the Klamath River Valley be? This question, whether turbines churning electricity out of the Kla- maths waters to operate factories are more necessary for the people of California than a big outdoor playground along the river and one large stream devoted to salmon and steelhead for sportsmen is the Ques- tion that has been put up to the Federal Power Commission to solve.
 Along with it is the problem whether the need for electricity ranks hi@her in the law than food suppIy for Indians.
 If the Electro Metals Company of San Francisco. whose power appli- cation the California Fish and Game Commission is opposing, is al lowed to build dams across the Kla- math, the last good salmon and steelhead stream in the state will be spoiled forever, according to the Commission,
 No salmon could climb the fish ways, in the three dams,t 70 to 300 feet high, that the corpora tion pro poses to build, the state officials contend, since 45 feet is the high est successful fish ladder. Steel head, the brook trout who migrate to the ocean when young and return to spawn, will be crushed in the tremendous pressure of the turbines, they assert, St
 The Electro Metals Company, in a hearing held at Requa,i Del Nprte County, on May 26, revealed plans for building transmission lines from the proposed power plants, to Trini- dad, on the coast, 25 miles north of Eureka. At Trinidad, which their officials described as a harbor, their plans call for shelter to make aluminium out of ore brought iE ships from British Guiana, South America.
 The dams will be built, it wa, stated across the Klamath at tn, mouths or two triDutarleS, the Sal mon and the Trinity with g third dam between these two.
 Since the State of California and the: Federal Government are coop. erating in building a highway 150 miles long paralleling the river so as to open it up to sportsmen and summet campers, the Klamath River should be the peoples playground rather than their workshop, Charles A. Vogelsang, executive officer of the commission asserted at the hear ing. Many Indians and white peo pie living along the river are large ly dependent on the fish for their food supply, he, said, and the can neries operating near the mouth of the river also will be crippled by the power projects, it was stated. The .l,Fish! and Game Commission urged that the dam be built on smaller tributary streams rather than on Klamath itself Fred Fowl CT of the San Francisco office of the Forestry Service presided at the hearing and his findings will be submitted to the Federal Power

CHEAP RATE ON EXHIBITS FROM :
 NORTH ASSURED
Low Transport at ion on Alaska Exhibit to Exposi-
 ton Given by Milwaukee.


 Efforts to secure greatly reduced freight rates for the Alaska exhibit for the International Mining Exposi- tion to be held in connection with the annual convention of the Ameri can Mining Congress next October, at Chicago, has been partially sue cessful. according to information re. ceiyed at the Governors office. This matter has been taken up with rail- roads out of Seattle by Falcon Jos lin and the Milwaukee Railway has advised him that it will make rate from Seattle to- Chicago of $3.50 per hundred on ores and similar ex- hibits and will return them free of charge to Seattle.
 Mir. Joslin stated that he will ar range for free ocean transportation from Alaska ports to Seattle and has taken the matter up with the White Pass Company and asked for free transportation of exhibits shipped from Interior Alaska over it's lines-
 MT. Joslin suggests that inasmuch as the government is more deeply in. terested in the Alaskan exhibit than any individual or even the territorial government, it should participate In the exhibit in some manner, at least to the extent of having a man in charge of the exhibit paying his ex- !, penses, etc. This. matter. he said |. had been taken up with the secre- tary of the Mining Congress in Washington with the request that he confer with Govefhor Scott c. Bone and make the suggestion to the De- partment of Interior Mir. Joslin sng gests that John A. Davis, of Fair. banks, member of the commission authorized to collect the exhibit and in charge of the mining experiment station of the Bureau of Mines at Fairbanks. would be desirable man to ne sent to Chicago with the ex. hibt. sM &
