HELLS CANYON DAM
VITAL TO Land,
water development 7

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(LDNS) -
Unless Congress passes the Hells Can
yon bill introduced by himself and 20
other senators, Sen. Wayne Morse
(D-Ore.) thinks the nation will be
consigning "13 per cent of its land
area and 40 per cent of its water
resources to haphazard underdevel-
opment."
The bill (S-1333) would authorize
construction, operation and malnte-
nance of 722-foot dam in the deep
est canyon in the nation, on the Snake
River which flows between Oregon
and Idaho.
The Idaho Power Co. wants to
build from one to three small power
dams in the same area. Proponents
of the Morse bill say the site should
have flood control, irrigation and
storage uses as well. They say small
dams would not do the job adequate
ly.
Small dams, under control of the
private power company (Which has

also would break up the regional
power marketing system in the Co

power program takes benefits from

private utilities, Murray D. Lincoln,
president of the Cooperative League,
said here, March 80.
Speaking at Wisconsin Electric Co

called on U. S. electric consumers TO

Private Power Profits
Went Up I'm 1854

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(NRECA)
Electric utility income increased
1867 during 1854, although the
total sale of electric energy increased
only four per cent during the same
period of time, according to Federal
Power Commission statistics.
In relation to the 1860 net in
crease in income-equal to over $109
million-the total operating revenue
incoming to electric utilities increased
6.1Go; deductions from total operat-
ing revenue increased 49,; and
gross income amounted to 1870 in
crease.
According to FPC, the increased
revenues are attributed to increased
electrical use by residential and COM
mercial customers. Industrial con-
sumers' revenue declined during the
year, although they used more power.

Mckay also predicted happily that "local" utility
company, the Idaho Power Company incorporated in
the state of Maine will get government permission to
bottle up Hells Canyon with its little dams.

public opinion will change his mind. The

The people of McKay's home state shouted their

They have spoken just clearly in reliable public

Low-cost federal power made Oregon what it is
today. But generous Doug Mckay still wants to stop

Sees Atomic Locomotive
In 0ffing For Railroads

The engineering research director
of the Association of American Rail
roads, G. M. Magee, has predicted
that an atomic-powered locomotive
may be operating on the rails in the
not too distant future.
SO far, no one is building such an
engine, but intensive research is be-
ing conducted on the matter, he said.
Other new types of locomotives being
explored include gas turbine engine
that would operate on the same prin-
ciple as a jet plane.

AS to who is a small farmer depends
on what part of the United States we
live in. In Montana, would say, on a
straight wheat farm, anyone raising
200 acres or less would be a small
farmer and he shouldn't be cut one
acre But let's forget acres, we have
lots of them, and leave that for the
farmer to worry about.
Now as to the irrigation farmer, I
can't see why he shouldn't fit into the
bushel allotment picture too. The fact
that he can raise wheat every year
shouldn't stop the dry land farmer
from raising his wheat and storing it
for dry years. After all, irrigated wheat
is only a small per cent of the wheat
acres in the United States.
Whenever the world market is high
enough so the, farmer figures he can
come out on top by selling his surplus
on the world market, that is his bust
ness. his surplus and his wheat-E. C.

time working on ranches. There came
a day when Dave was called upon to
move camp wagon some distance
across lot of open country. There
were gentle teams on the ranch he
could have used, but for Dave the only
pair worth hitching up was a team of
half-green, fuzztails with snake eyes
and boiler pressure slightly below the
safety valve limit.
The iron wheeled wagon had white
canvas top and inside, according to
Dave, was nothing but a solid load of
tin dishes, buckets, ETC. All went well
while the going was smooth, but when
he got them away from the buildings
Dave advanced the throttle slightly and
with that business picked up. One bronc
rolled a white eye back far enough to
see that white canvas top chasing him
and must have told his pardner about
it, because both decided right then to
leave it behind.
They were doing a pretty good job,
too, but when those iron wheels began
to juggle all that tinware in the wagon
it sounded like a cement mixer full of
tin cans. Those fuzztails didn't care
where they were going just so it was
straight away, far off and fast
Those ponies were really unwinding
it with Dave standing up in the front
end of that wagon, the stove and all
that tinware banging around inside,
those iron wheels jumping foot off
the ground every time they hit little
bump. 1t must have sounded to those
cayuses as if hellish cyclone was
going to chase them plum out of the
country.
The way Dave tells it, they may be
going yet. He. doesn't know because
about the time they reached flying
speed the doubletree pin jumped out,
the ponies jerked Dave out of the wa
gon, and when he turned loose of the
lines his nose rough-locked him to a
stop just far enough ahead so when the
wagon turned off it just missed run
ming over him as it rolled into final
heap in a coulee-the tinware music
in a grand finale.
This happened long time ago, and
he way Dave tells it, he's still walk
ng, hasn't gotten home yet, and as far
as he knows those ponies are still try
ng to outrun that noise.

1T means that much of the doubt

1T means that the long delayed
