Relation Of River Project To Westfir Told In Report (Editor's Note: Today is pub lished the second article on the Willamette Valley project program as affecting the upper Willamette region. The first article was printed last Sunday). By JOHN CAMPBELL ( Register-Guard Correspondent) LOWELL, Nov. 20. (Special) For some time past, ever since the project was first started, and after the engineers had surveyed the land, there was much discussion on whether Westfir and Oakridge would be under water. The find ings and recommendations of the engineers are that the town of Westfir would have to be moved as the back water up the North Fork would cover that town. Oak ridge will be above the water line and will not necessitate moving any part of it. It is also stated that the dam will cover the railroad for a distance of 18 miles and the present high way for 11 miles. Out of the $22, 571,000 for the construction, $12, 246,000 will be for the revision of these two roads. The dam will make a pool form ing about 4,000 acres. The nar rowness of the valley is the reason that the water backs up such a distance to Westfir. Two Years Work When and if congress at the next session approves the project it is estimated that it will require at least two years to complete. This includes the extra work of re building the railroad and highway. As far as possible local men will be employed which will be a boost to Lowell as it is the only town near unless they build a separate town such as they have at Bonne ville. How can the residents help. In the first place it is necessary for the people of the valley to get well acquainted with what the project stands for and how much it will benefit them when passed. This will help the Oregpn members of congress to put forth their best efforts to secure authorization and will help them to convince other members of congress from other states having similar projects so that the federal government will feel justified in spending around $50,000,000 for such projects. Work Described After the project' Is authorized by congress, it must appropriate the -money necessary and direct construction. The army engineers will be in charge of the building of the res ervoirs and navigation but if the farmers wish water for irrigation that part will be under the United States bureau of reclamation. How- ever there will be no Irrigation projects developed until each dis trict has been voted to do so by the land owners. Now comes the cost of using the water and this they have figured out to be from a minimum of $74 to $190.50 per acre. This seems rather high at first but when this includes the cost for draining lands where necessary it is not so much. Some local items may en ter into the cost per acre such as length of pipe lines and length and number of canals required for that certain farm. One reason of this high Initial cost is that the hydro-electric has not been developed to assist in pay ing for the construction of the dam. It is not necessary for the farmer to pay all this cost at one time as they can be amortized over a 40-year period and this even in cludes the interest that would be charged. The per-acre cost given in the engineers report also in cludes all maintenance and oper ation charges. Corvallis will probably be the headquarters for the office of com mercial navigation. On Fish Life R. H. Kipp, executive secretary of the Willamette Valley Project committee, has Interviewed Harlan B. Holmes, fish biologist for the United States engineers, who has completed an exhaustive study of the probable effect on fish life as the result of a change in the stream flow brought about through the reservoir system of the Willamette Valley Project. Mr. Holmes' survey deals mainly with the initial plan of flood con trol, navigation, irrigation and stream purification as outlined by the district engineers' $300,000 sur vey and report which is now on file in the war department and will be presented to congress. During the winter and early spring these reservoirs will be used to store this flood water and then be let out gradually in the summer time to keep the same height in the rivers. Thus they will be drained and filled annually, and unless provided with "fish ways" will block the migration of fish. The principal fish that will be affected are the resident trout and the migratory species of salmon and steelhead trout. Statement Given Mr. Holmes said: "It will be most convenient to consider first the programs for perpetuating the runs of migratory fish represented by Fordson Tractors Delivered $810 Quackenbush's salmon and steelhead trout For many years the Oregon fish com mission has maintained hatcheries in the north and south Santiams the McKenzie and Middle Fork! In operating these hatcheries pick et fences are placed across the rivers in order to block the fish from going to their natural spawn ing grounds further up the river. This is done for the purpose of col lecting the spawn. In doing it this way the young fish are ready to be placed in other streams. The stor age reservoirs will affect three of the four hatcheries and tor this reason it is proposed that the hatcheries be removed to favor able locations below the dams. The McKenzie river hatchery is the only one not affected." The report goes on to say that the reservoirs will not disturb the resident trout except in the areas that will be flooded by the dams and it seems that these sections will be lost to fish propagation as the rise and fall of the reservoir levels will destroy the natural food supplies for the fish. To compensate for this loss it is proposed that the remaining stream area be increased by more exten sive application of artificial propa gation. Hatcheries Not Affected The three state trout hatcheries that are in operation in the Wil lamette valley now will not be af fected by this Initial project Mr. Kipp states this report by Mr. Holmes contains information many people have been waiting for and especially calls to attention the fact that the army engineers have in their report recommended $1,000,000 expenditure for improv ed fish hatcheries bn tributaries of the Willamette.
