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.
