ect la a signal for general develop
ment, aad will lay the foundation
for widespread expansion of all In
dustries, Governor Charles A.
Spragno declared la an address
Friday night before 25 Lane
county leaders, gathered in Eu
gene to celebrate the approach of
first actual construction work, on
this project. .
Governor Sorarne. like farmr
governor Charles H. Martin who
appointed the valley project com
mittee early in 1935. has been vi
tally interested in development of
ine rauey. ii win ee recalled that
as result of a bill which passed
the 1939 legislature, he snnointed
the three-man Willamette river
basin project commission, which
will lend co-oneratfon to Maior C.
R. Moore, district engineer. Port
land district office of army engi
neers, who is directly In charge of
the project for the federal govern
ment.
Solntton of Problem
And Major Moore, in an address
in Salem early this month, de
scribed the nroiect aa the anTutfnn
of the most serious problem con
fronting the valley and forsees
with its comnletlon a ranid and
healthy growth for the valley.
. Major Moore pointed especially
to the navigation features which
will come as result of the nroieet.
a phase of which entails rebuild
ing of the locks at Oregon City
through substitution of a single
and wider lock to renlace the four
locks now In use and which now
take 2 hours to get a log tow
through. The navigation develon-
ment win release huge timber
holdings in the valley. With a on-
urouea stream, anlpptng will be
come a vital factor and It will be
come an easy matter to release tha
vast Umber supplies. At the pres
ent tune it la estimated there are
124 billion feet of timber In the
valley and that there Is a aus
talaed growth of 415 million feet
annually.
Navigation Aid
From a navigation standpoint,
those leaders who worked long
and earnestly tor. the project aay
Salem will become another Ti
Dalles. The reservoirs will help
make possible a I foot minimum
river the year around at Salem, ao
It does not seem far fetched that
the day is not long distant when
$200,049 steamers with 5 foot
drsft such as todsy operate on
the Columbia will be common
place at Salem. No one has put In
ngures wnat tnia feature alone
will mean in the industrial and
business life of this city and of
the valley.
One other major factor, supple
mental moisture, shares with navi
gation the spotlight In the secon
dary phases of the flood coatrol
project. This will be discussed la
the next article.
Provision has also been made,
under the coordinated plan, for
creation in later years of power
from the dams built for flood con
trol. With this in view, the dams
will be built of sufficient height to
store the water for flood control,
but also so these dams may be
raised later to a height adequate
for power production. However,
Bonneville power will be used up
before the nower resources of the
valley flood control project are
orougnt into play.
The- coordinated or. distant view
plan provides for cower develop
ment at three dams, at Detroit,
Quartz creek and Lookout Point
and it is estimated that each year
the valley will benefit to the tune
of more than $4,000,000 from this
factor.
The army engineers believe
enough hydro electric machinery
can be installed at these three dam
sites to develop about 413,140 kw.
of hydro electric enere-r and about
two billion kilowatt hours annual
