BOSS in MONTROSE 138 N. Townsend PORTLAND, Ore. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has begun a complex effort to flush trapped salmon and steelhead back into the Columbia River from dark chambers beneath Bonneville Dam. Meanwhile, the corps was considering whether to go along with a request from federal, state and tribal fishery biologists to shut down the dam's second powerhouse for several weeks so debris can be removed from the system that helps adult fish make it upriver past the dam.

Such a shutdown would mean a loss of millions of dollars in potential electricity. The debris, washed down by this spring's heavy runoff of mountain snowpack, had ripped holes in grating, causing an undetermined number of fish to become trapped beneath the fish ladder near the powerhouse on the Washington side of the river. No one knows how long the fish have been trapped. Corps engineers moved bulkheads and valves to create an artificial flow of water in the caverns to try to persuade any salmon and steelhead to instinctively move against the flow By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS and out a sluiceway into the river. By late Thursday afternoon, no fish had been seen, said corps biologist Gary Johnson.

The corps expected to continue the flush through the weekend before determining if it had been successful. "If they are in there and if they can move and are attracted to that flow, they can come out of there," Johnson said. Some biologists have estimated as many as 1,000 salmon and steelhead might be trapped in the dam. Meanwhile, the National Marine Fisheries Service asked state regulators in Oregon and Washington to grant a waiver allowing the level of nitrogen gas in the river below the spillways to exceed state standards. The waiver is necessary because the amount of water spilled will have to be increased if the powerhouse is shut down.

The reservoir behind Bonneville Dam has virtually no storage capacity. Excessive levels of nitrogen gas can be lethal to salmon and steelhead, but biologists feel that the increases are worth the risk. Nearly a half-million steelhead and fall chinook are expected to move Legislative committee begins redrawing House District 60 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER A legislative committee has begun redrawing State House District 60 in south -central Colorado to create a voting majority of Hispanics as required by a federal court order. The committee began its work Thursday by setting a tentative schedule, with a Nov. 3 deadline to complete the plan.

The committee tentatively set public hearings on Sept. 22, 23 and 24 in Alamosa, Trinidad and Pueblo, and an Oct. 6 meeting in Denver. A second round of hearings in those cities would be held Oct. 21-23.

The reapportionment, which could affect up to five adjacent House districts, must be done by early next year under a finding issued by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The justices rejected decisions by the Colorado Supreme Court and U.S. District Court and ruled that an identifiably cohesive minority of Hispanics in the San Luis Valley district was effectively being denied the opportunity to elect representatives it preferred. Several committee members questioned that finding Thursday.

Rep. Mike Salaz, R-Cheraw, pointed out that only one Hispanic had run for the District 60 seat since the last statewide legislative reapportionment in 1991. If minority candidates aren't willing to run, "How is that discrimination?" he asked. Others criticized the inconsistency of the federal courts, pointing out that they demanded a race based district in Colorado, but rejected gerrymandering in other states trying to create districts where minorities would be more likely to win. "Isn't it unconstitutional to make race the overriding factor?" asked Rep.

Gary McPherson, R-Aurora. Maurice Knaizer of the state attorney general's office said the courts supported race based districts where there had been a judicial finding of discrimination, as in the Colorado case. But when states have formed districts in the absence of a court ruling, those districts that stretched their boundaries into bizarre shapes had been ruled illegal, he said.

upriver in a about six weeks, many of them bound for the Hanford Reach, the last healthy run of salmon in the Columbia. The fisheries service, tribes and states are urging the corps to embark on a round-the-clock cleanup effort to try to get the system back in operation before the peak of the salmon and steelhead runs in about six weeks. But corps officials noted that there is no way to speed up the pumping of water from the passage system, a process that could take four weeks. Corps biologists said it could take two months or more to clean out the debris, meaning that the fish moving upriver would not have access to one of the primary passageways past Bonneville Dam.

2 powerhouse at Bonneville, 36 miles east of Portland, produces 600 megawatts of electricity, enough to serve the city of Portland. The Bonneville Power Administration, which markets the electricity, stands to lose millions of dollars if the powerhouse is shut down. The shutdown would come at a time of high demand because of hot weather throughout the West. Local police angry over escape, chase By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOONE Now that a SWAT team on an ATV has outrun an escaped federal prisoner on horseback, Colorado authorities want to know how the convicted kidnaper escaped so easily. The escape of Dennis Patrick Glick triggered an intense search including two airplanes, and the Colorado National Guard was preparing to help.

Pueblo County Sheriff Dan Corsetino, whose deputies captured Glick, said he's going to send a bill to the private company that was transporting the federal prisoner when he escaped. Glick had served in the military and at one point authorities were worried that might make him even more of a threat. "There's going to be some interesting blowback over this one," said Crowley County Undersheriff Jeffrey Keyes. Glick escaped Wednesday while a van was parked outside the Crowley County Jail. The driver was dropping one of the prisoners off at the jail.

The other guard reportedly fell asleep while his partner was inside and Glick grabbed his keys. The Aces BOBBY "Look round the habitable world: how few Know their own good, or knowing it, pursue." Juvenal Seeing no danger of losing four diamond tricks, today's South claimed that a successful heart finesse would give him his quickest and best chance to score his game. He was right about saving time; he was wrong about his diamond stopper. A cagey West chose to lead dummy's second suit, rejecting the lead of the unbid suit. Given the strong bidding by North and East's failure to overcall, the spade lead gave him little hope 1 for success.

This imaginative lead paid a huge dividend. It tempted South to duck in dummy, hoping to win his 10. Instead, it led to an embarrassing defeat. East took his heart queen and switched to a low diamond, and South was in trouble. His 10.

went to West's queen, a diamond return went to East's king, and a third diamond lead gave the defenders a nifty down one. South was indeed unlucky, but he made his own troubles. If the heart finesse would win, it would win later as well. Therefore, South should refuse the tempting finesse at trick one and test his luck in the black suits. He cashes the ace, queen and king of clubs, and when no jack appears, he' tries the spades.

He cashes the ace, king and queen, and when the suit splits, he doesn't need the heart finesse. And had spades not been 3-3, South still had time to try a delayed heart finesse for his ninth winner.
