Weaver Hated Helli Canyon Dam today as one of the chief projecti the Corp Of Engineera la considering to help control Columbia Basin floods. In a speech prepared for delivery before the Northwest Public Power Association here, the North Pacific Division Engineer named four other projects which the Corps of Engineers may recommend to Congress this fall.

Weaver described the Hells Canyon Dam on the Snake River, 111 miles above Lewlston, as "one of the key projects In the basin plan," because of Its power potential ana its Hood control storage. Two other possible dams one at Glacier View, In Montana's upper Flathead- Valley, and the Kooskla Dam on the Clearwater River's middle Fork, 57 miles up stream irom iewiston, idano are being studied. Weaver said. but pose difficulties which may eliminate them from the final recommendations. Weaver's speech was a preview of the Columbia River and tribu taries review report which will be submitted to the chief of the Corps of Engineers this fall..

Weaver said the report Is now being re-studied in the light of the recent Columbia River flood "to provide more reliable con trol, with less reliance on the accuracy of flood predictions." He named liells Canyon, Priest Rapids, I.lbby, John Day, and Albeni Falls dams as pro jects receiving particular consid eration because of the effect they would nave on mitigating floods. None of these have vet been authorized. Weaver said the review re- PHONE 307 FOR SAWDUST and HOOD Safes Single or Double Loads Ph. 307 YOUNGS BAY LEB. CO. port would, In general, recom mend: 1. A fully developed navigable cnannei irom iewiston, Idaho, to the sea. 2. A general flood control plan of levees and multiple-purpose reservoirs adequate to control any Columbia River flood. 3. A plan for development of more than 7,000,000 kilowatts of prime power. 4. Irrigation developments as recommended by the Bureau of Reclamation. 5. A Lower Columbia fisheries plan developed by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife service to Insure preservation of salmon runs. Weaver said The Dalles dam on the Lower Columbia River was also "likely to be recom. mended for early development In the interest of navigatian, power production, and multiple-purpose benefits." Looking toward the more dis tant future. Weaver listed 15 other projects which might event ually be built: Nez Perce, Asotin, Clarkstan, on the Snake River; Crevice and Freedom on the Salmon River; Klkberry and Bruce'e Kddy on the Clearwater River; Mossy Rock and May field on the Cowlitz River; Yale on the Lewis River; Rocky Reach and Wells on the Columbia; Katka on the Kootenai River; Bound ary on the Pend Oreille River; Cabinet Gorge on the Clark Fork River. : s six :H I ifa Woman Complains Nude Mannikint Embarrassing DETROIT.
