While the entire project involv ing the expenditure of more than 50 million dollars has been ap proved at Washington, no funds as yet for actual construction have been allocated by President Roosevelt. It now appears that little beyond the preparation of plans for the project will take place before congress again con venes, when it is expected that that body will allocate funds for construction. Two of the first dams to be constructe«i according to present plans, are in the Cot tage Grove area—one on Row riv er and the other on the Coast fork.
