he had canvassed private firms
on the number of workers paid
$15,000 a year or more. This is

Ask the man who lives close to the Deschutes river, near the 100-foot-deep canyon

dam on the Santiam, and in other similar deep, man-made lakes In Oregon.
This will be an entirely new recreational spot for Oregonians. To enhance the
enjoyment of boat fishermen and recrcationists, PGE will provide an access road into
the reservoir area, with boat dock, trailer ramp and picnic grounds. Besides, 100 miles
of swift fishing water will remain undisturbed 'between the project and the mouth of
the Dcachutaa.

The natural flow of the lower riven will be preserved by meant of a re-regulating dsn ; .
about three miles downstream from Pelton. For the passage of migrating fish there willbtM J
a fish ladder which bypasses both dams. This Udder will have gradients comparable to Of t

, There will be appropriate attraction devices installed at both the upstream and!
