as much electric power as Oregon
last year, the Washington Depart
ment of Conservation reports.
The agency said 36 million kilo
watt hours, or 63 per rent of the
total for the Pacific Northwest.
were generated in Washington. Of
that amount 4.3 million was

amount included 4.2 million kilo
watt hours from private sources.
Idaho generated 9 per cent and
Montana S per cent of the Pacific
Northwest total of 55 million kilo
watt hours.

comparison to show that electric
rates charged by mutuals and co

kilowatt hour, rates of private
utilities average 1.22 cents, public
utility districts 1 cent, municipal

More Conferences
Due On Snake Dam
WASHINGTON (AP) The
Interior Department says there
will be more conferences Willi
agencies concerned before any
thing is done about Reclamation
Bureau studies relating to the
proposed Pleasant Valley Dam on
the middle Snake River.
James Carr, undersecretary of
the interior, said the action re
affirms Secretary Stewart Udall s
letter of March 15 to the Federal
Power Commission. Udall asked
that any derision on licensing
dams on that part of the Snake be
withheld until problems of grtting
fish past the dams are solved.
Dr. Gerald E. Collins of the
Bureau of Commercial Fisheries'
research laboratory in Seattle is
conducting the study.
Carr said Monday, "It may be
that interests of the Pacific North
west and the nation can best be
served by conducting studies of
high Pleasant Valley Dam concur
rently with the fish studies.
"The department, however,
wants to make a careful evalua
tion of this possibility before
reaching a decision."
Carr said the decision will be
affected by the department's re
view of the recent report ol the
Army Engineer? dealing with the
Coluirbia River Basin.
The report includes recommend
ations for alternative projects in
the same part of the middle
Snake.
