Fish Study Traces
Vitamin Qualities
At Ocean Source
Astoria, Ore. IP A Xive-year
study of 50 species of North Pa
cific fish shows that fish before
mating have a larger vitamin
content in the liver.
The study, conducted by Rus
sell O. Sinnhuber and D. K. Law,
bio-chemists of the Seafoods Lab
oratory of Oregon State college,
also found that livers of male
fishes had more vitamin value
than the female.
Furthermore, it showed that
the mature fish had more vita
min than the younger ones but
after a fish mated, there was a
reduction in the vitamin content.
The survey is considered of
considerable value in regulariz
ing the supply source of the nat
ural vitamins demanded by the
medical profession.
Between the lines of statistics
also is traced a part of the story
of the great American yltamin
age that brought a bonanza to
North Pacific fishermen as the
war started.
Up to $12 a Pound
The loss of the Norwegian sup.
ply of vitamin oils and the heavy
demands of American doctors for
higher concentrates shot the
price of good livers up to $12
a pound.
Ordinary fishermen frequently
brought in a $10,000 catch after
a night of lucky fishing. The liv
ers of soupfin sharks literally
were almost worth their weight
in gold.
Fishermen risked their lives to
load the huge sharks into tiny
trolling boats while fortune
hunters from inland cities arriv
ed in the northwest to build
strange boats that refused to
float upright.
The "assayer" in this mad rush
for "liver gold" was the biochem
ist. The fisherman did not al
ways understand the scientists'
retorts, burisen burners and good
crucibles.
"How come, ne would say,
pointing to a pile of livers taken
by a rival, "that his are worth
$12 a pound and mine 75 cents?"
"Uevil Stick" Used
All his life the fisherman had
measured his day's work bv size.
color and weight.
ine biochemist read his ans
wers off the slide rule, a "devil
stick" whose readings could
mean a fortune or a pittance.
Had the Sinnhuber-Law survev
been available during the earlv
days of the rush, it would have
been worth more than a map of
Incas' hidden gold and a lot eas
ier to read.
But while the Astorlans were
investigating hundreds of tons of
livers and checking virtually
every important commercial fish
in the North Pacific,' another
group of scientists were prick
ing at the bubble in an effort
to synthetize vitamin A.
Their success with A and later
with D took the fortune out of
"llvering," although fishermen
still get substantial prices for the
natural products.

For the past several months, the demand for power in Central Oregon has been taxing
the capacity of generating plants. Rapid growth in power use has absorbed every bit of
reserve capacity. With all equipment heavily loaded, any little trouble causes serious
operating problems. So we have a "tight" power situation, which will unavoidably con
tinue until our new Central Oregon transmission line can be rushed to completion.

This chart shows how Pacific Power & Light Compan
to keep ahead of demand until the' use of
y kept enlarging its power resources in Central Oregon
electricity skyrocketed in the last 18 months.
( The black bars represent the peak or maximum use of electricity on our Central Oregon system during a typical month (March) of each year, )
POWER DEMAND HAS SOARED IN RECENT MONTHS
Until 1946 the use of PP&L's low-cost power in Central Oregon increased
steadily, but at a fairly uniform- rate. Then the demand for power began
. to soar higher and higher. In March, 1948, the peak load on our Central
Oregon system was 54 greater than in March of 1946!
PP&L CENERATINC CAPACITY HAS KEPT AHEAD OF USE UNTIL NOW
Since 1940 Pacific Power & Light has been steadily adding to its power
supply resources to keep pace with the normal increase in the use of
electricity. Here is the story:
1941. PP&L and Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company jointly installed a
3,000-KW steam generator in the lumber company's plant. This
arrangement provided PP&L with 2,000-KW of additional firm
capacity, and actually has resulted in making an even greater
amount than this available.
1943. PP&L contracted with The Ochoco Lumber Company at Prineville
for purchase of power from the mill's generators. Electrical facilities
were installed to take an estimated supply of S00-KW.
1943. PP&L rebuilt its Cline Falls hydro plant near Redmond. An old
150-KW generator was replaced with a unit that produces 1,000-KW,
except during the irrigation season when the water is required to
grow crops on Central Oregon farms.
1943. PP&L contracted with the Warm Springs Lumber Company for
purchase of power. Electrical equipment was installed to get an
estimated supply of S00-KW.
1946. Under a cooperative arrangement between PP&L, the Jefferson
Water Conservancy District and the Bureau of Reclamation, the
Bureau installed a 1500-KW generator at the Company's Cove
hydroelectric plant, which again increased the supply of power.
1947. An agreement was reached with Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company
to operate its Plant "A" for PP&L. Capacity: 1,000-KW.
1948. PP&L is building a $1,400,000 transmission line to link Central
Oregon with the Northwest Power Pool.
POWER SUPPLY PROBLEM CAREFULLY STUDIED
When the postwar load curve began to climb at an unprecedented rate,
PP&L engineers revised all past studies on how best to provide for growth
of power use in Central Oregon. A fresh look was taken at all possibilities
steam, hydro and diescl for developing more generating plants in the
area. Decision of the engineers was that the most practical solution was a
transmission line to connect Central Oregon with the Company's main
system at The Dalles, and in turn with the 150 private and public generat
ing plants in the Northwest Power Pool.
MATERIALS ORDERED MONTHS ACO
As soon as construction of a transmission line was decided upon, orders
were placed for the necessary quantities of copper wire, insulators and
similar materials. But there was still one more important question to be
answered if the long-term interests of Central Oregon were to be protected.
Future plans of the Bonneville Power Administration called for a
high-voltage government transmission line from the Columbia River into
Central Oregon. Such a line would parallel much of the route of the Com
pany's new circuit. If both lines should be built independently, the result
would be wasteful duplication of investment, and an unnecessary future
burden on users of electricity. . .
COMPANY - BONNEVILLE PLANS COORDINATED
Out of a series of conferences with officials of the Bonneville Power
Administration there was developed a practical and business-like arrange
ment, under which the Company is building 42 miles of its new line to
government specifications. Later, when Bonneville may be authorized to
do so, this section of the line can be purchased by the government and
included in the 230,000-volt circuit which is planned to link the Central
Oregon area directly with the big federal projects at Bonneville, Grand
Coulee, McNary and Detroit. Then the Company will take delivery of
power from the government at some convenient point for distribution
throughout the area.
This forward-looking program means that Central Oregon will be on
the "main line" for Columbia River power development.
CONSTRUCTION WORK IS IN PROCRESS
First crews have already started work on the big job of building the
$1,400,000 transmission circuit. More and more crews will be moving into
the field as contractors get under way.
By concentrating forces on the job, it is hoped to cut three months oft
the original construction schedule and have the line in service by early
October.
MEANWHILE, PLEASE SAVE ELECTRICITY!
Maintenance of electric service is vital to the public welfare. In tho
present tight situation, every, one can help!
Mill operators and workers are cooperating by staggering hours of
operation to spread the power load more evenly throughout the day
and night.
Homes and businesses can do their share by watching use of electricity,
and avoiding waste! livery kilowatt-hour saved is a help.
Many thanks for your cooperation toward meeting a difficult problem.
