the basin as unit, Secretary
Krug said. A single account for
the entire Basin is recommended
forestablishment with the United
States Government. Construction
costs for irrigation and power un-
der this arrangement would be
charged to this account and reve-
nues from irrigation water users,
power sales, and other uses would
be credited to the account. Even
with high construction costs now
prevailing, a surplus of revenue
over construction cost OF all prof.
ects in the plan is in prospect
under this plan of repayment, he
added.
Annual bnefits of the whole
program are estimated at about
$685., 100000. They will exceed
the annual costs to the Nation by
nearly $100,000,000.
mo basin Is richer in water re-
sources than the Columbia" Sec
rotary Krug said. 1.-THE Bureau
|of Reclamation'S plan will serve
as guide for bringing into bal
anced relationship the. multiple
uses to which the streams in the
Columbia Basin can be put. With
out unified program as a pat
tern, such as this basic report
represents, stream flow may be
applied extravagantly, or for a
single inferior purpose, thereby
barring it's application to other,
more beneficial uses. How well
we plan today will be reflected
for years to come"
Reclamation Commissioner Mi
chael w. Straus emphasized that
various local, state, and Federal
, agencies participated in compila-
ton of the report, which is being
transmitted to the Governors Of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Nevada, and
Utah for review and comment
Federal agencies also are being
asked for. comment. The report
together with the comments OF
the reviewing agencies, then will
be transmitted to the President
and the Congress.
Land development through ir-
rigation and drainage will create
between $4,000 and 10000 new
farming opportunities" Commits
sioner Straus pointed out. "These
new agricultural enterprises will
provide permanent jobs for some
10000 wage earners in local en-.

for a total population of one mil

United States would be attribut-
able to this development.
sThe development will involve
the Joint efforts of all Federal
agencies concerned with water re-
sources development. Most of the
projects in the plan would be con-
structed either by the War Depart
ment or by the Department of the
Interior"
~ PROJECTS NOW AUTHOR
lied
Mr.. Stratus said that the report
covers Basin projects now author
lied but not yet constructed as
well as other developments not
yet authorized.
OF the 238 projects reported on,
81 are now authorized for con-
struction by the Bureau of Recla-
nation, Office of Indian Affairs,
and War Department. Further
appropriations to initiate or con-
finr,o nc tho coSo NAV ho and
complete these projects, are to be
recommended as construction
schedules are developed or de-
tailed requests and statements OF
justification are presented to the
Congress.
A specific Recommendation is
made for three small develop
ments previously authorized, but
not constructed, under the Water
Conservation and Utilization Act
These are the Mann Creek Project
in Idaho, North Side Unit of the
Missoula Valley Project in Mon
tana, and the Woodside Unit OF
the Bitterroot Valley Project il
Montana. The report suggests
they be re-authorized under the
reclamation laws.

There is a lot of merit to the
suggestion contained in the above
Complaint. But there is little doubt
fhat every merchant and property
owner in the city has thought
along the same lines. Some have
done something about it. Others
have investigated and been forced
to delay action until a more pro-
pitious time. A time when ma
terials and labor will be more
plentiful.
CHANGED
One property owner who didn't
wait in modernization program
is the Highlands Club. The hall
has been subjected to several
changes, designed particularly to
better handle the ever increasing
crowds that visit the popular hall,
especially on Saturday nights. The
entrance has been changed to
eliminate the crowds that congre-
gate around the door and flow
over half of the dance floor. The
crowd will still congregate but in
the rear of the hall. A section OF
folding doors has been installed
to form partition from the dining
room. The fireplace, popular
feature of the hall, has been re
modelled. If you don't believe il
is a change for the better, just try
going out there any Saturday
night.

GOOD READING

For good reading this week we
refer you especially to the feature
on reclamation. Plans of the
bureau are astounding in the long
range program. Especially pleas
ing IS the fact that the Kennewick
project is one of the "musts" on
the list for immediate action.
With rumblings of activity to
start soon at a point a few miles
down the river this is exception
ally good news that the long
sought Kennewick project il re-
membered after all.

MATERIALS

VIA 1G1tI1kIS
Speaking of materials we can
see some point in waiting. Dozens
of new and beautiful building ma
terials have already been devel-
oped or are in the process. We
don't own any business building
so it is easy for us to say "let's
mOdernize." But what's modern
today might be as outmoded as
peg top trousers within few
short years. Plastics are in their
infancy. Unbelievable things are
being done with glass and some
OF the other older materials in an
effort to keep them popular. It
might be wise to wait just little
bit.

SPORTS ROUNDUP
(BY Chick Hosch)

ATLANTA, (P) - Paul (Bear' Bryant, Kentucky's young foot ball coach, at first glance appears to have scored the south's greatest victory since Bull Run.
 A tentative roster of 48 fresh . man gridders lists 27 Yankees" " including nine from Pennsylvania and ten from West Virginia. In fact, he got an entire "all-state' backfield from the latter state and a dozen others made various "honor" teams.
 Bryant, younger at B than sev- eral of his assistants, started a TO- year contract for the Wildcats last year by winning seven games more than any of his southeast ern conference predecessors.
 To go with those AS yearlings, Bryant has 28 lettermen and about 20 reserves from last year, which ought to rank his team fairly close to the top this fall. That's why Kentuckians, who in the past have shifted the conversation to horse

President Signs Paper And Pulp Legislation

WASHINGTON, (PD - Legisla- ton under which a newSprint in dustry, may be established in Southeast Alaska was signed today by President Truman.
 It permits sale of timber in the Tongass National Forest to news print manufacturing companies.
 The forest service of the agri- culture department is given au- thority to provide the paper com panies with a steady source of wood, harvested in the Tongass preserve on a sustained yield ba- sis.
 Endorsing the bill before Con- gress, forest service officials eS- timated it would open the way for construction of five S30,000,000 paper mills in Alaska. The forest service predicted each mill would create a town of 5000 or more population.
 The bill stipulates that money from the sale of Tongass timber will be held in the U s. treasury until claims of native Indians to parts of the land are settled. h. dians of Southeast Alaska have opposed the legislation
