WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 1,
Work on Power
Line Being Rushed
Contractor's crews have boen
put on a nine-hour day and more
men und machinery have been
put on the Job to speed up work
still more on the main Madras
Maupln section of Pacific Power
& Light company's new Central
Oregon power transmission line,
according to a progress report re
ceived by W. A. Lackaff, district
manager for the company.
At the same time, the com
pany's own construction crews
moved this week to the north end
of the project to begirt building
the Tygh Valley 'section of the
line. Formerly based at Madras,
this big crew has completed the
Madras-Cove hydro plant section
of the new line and the switching
station necessary to tie it in with
the local power system.
All materials for the big job are
now flowing smoothly into the
area, Lackaff said, following
earlier delays. This has permitted
McPhall Engineering, which is
building the major portion of the
heavy circuit on contract, to throw
more men into the job.
Seven compressors now are
strung along the right-of-way,
serving jackhammer crews drill
ing and shooting pole holes in the
rocky route. Substantially increas
ed crews are keeping other phases
of the work setting poles, fram
ing them and the like right on
the heels of the excavators.
Work on the Madras-Maupin
stretch now is centering around
the Trout creek area. This is one
of the more rugged spots along
the route of the line, and is hard
to get into.
In addition to its crew now
starting the Bakeoven-Tygh Val
ley section of the new line, Pacific
has another crew reinforcing its
existing transmission line north
from Tygh Valley to The Dalles as
part of the $1,400,000 improve
ment program, Lackaff said.
Alternate poles are being in
stalled on a nine-mile section of
the line to strengthen it through
an "ice belt," and new heavy cop
per conductors are being Installed.
The finished project will mean a
sturdy avenue of power supply
right through from Pacific's new
$250,000 substation at The Dalles,
which connects with Bonneville
there, to the Deschutes power
system link at Cove.

Picnickers Advised
To Ice Their Food
Lincoln, Neb. illi Picnickers
are warned to be careful.
The chances are, according to
University of Nebraska bacterio
logists, they may suffer some
sort of food poisoning from a dish
that neither smelled nor looked
spoiled. The mistaken belief that
cooked food will keep for several
hours in a warm place has been
responsible for ihany an upset
stomach, the bacteriologists said.
Cream-filled pastries and ,pork
products such as mild-cured ham
cause the largest number of food
poisoning cases. Other offenders
include custards, cooked salad
dressings,' gelatin mixtures, stuff
ed eggs or egg salads, and cook
ed meat, poultry and fish.
The specialists recommend
packing the picnic lunch in iced,
insulated containers.
Wisconsin Scout Life
Lures French Youth
Madison, Wis. l All last win
ter, Michel Benamou, 18-year-old
French youth, heard tales of the
glories of the Madison Boy Scout
drum and bugle corps.
His friend, Jean Megy, was full
of stories of the Madison group.
Jean had served as their interpre
ter at the international Boy Scout
jamboree in Moissons last sum
mer. Michel became obsessed with
the desire to visit Madison, and
soon had a "pen pal" correspon
dence going with four or five
young persons here.
Now Michel is in Madison and
is so "sold" on it that he will
spend the entire summer here. He
will return to his home in Mar
seilles in September to enter a
French university.

U. of Illinois Enlarges
Air Training Course
'Champaign, 111. (IP) The Uni
versity of Illinois has become
more air-minded.
Two new courses have been
added to the six flight courses of
fered by the university's insti
tute of aeronautics. One to the
two-year courses will train pro
fessional pilots. The other is for
aircraft maintenance engineers.
Dr. L. A. Bryan heads the in
stitute, which enters its, third
year tills fall. He believes the
program to be "a unique educa
tional contribution in a field that
is crying for leadership."
Last year 97 per cent of the

university's flight training cours
es were awarded pilot certificates
and ratings by the Civil. Aero
nautics Authority. Private pilot,
commercial pilot, flight' Instruc
tor and Instrument licenses were

Scientists to Excavate
Mohawk Indian "Castle"
Schenectady, N. Y. tll A group
group of archeologists in this
area is going "castle" hunting.
They plan the first thorough
scientific excavation of a Mohawk
Indian "castle." Although many
Mohawk sites are known in the
nearby region between Fort Hunt
er and St. Johnsviller none which
can be identified as one of the
historic Mohawk castles has ever
been systematically excavated.
The Rev. Thomas Grassmann
of Tekakwitha Friary, Fonda,
will head the exploration work.
It is hoped to find enough re
mains of the stockaded Indians
town of Caughnawaga .to make
a copy of the friary museum. The
so-called "lower castle" of the
Mohawks was occupied from
about 1667 to 1693, when It was
destroyed in a French raid.

Brush Spread Threatens
California Range Land
San Francisco iui Brush Is
taking over much of California's
range land at the expense of val
uable grass, reports Harold H.
Blswell, assistant professor of
forestry at the University of
California.
A recent survey by Blswell in
conjunction with the state fish
and game division revealed that
in 76 per cent of the areas exam
ined spreading brush either had
crowded out the grass completely
or threatened to do so in a few
years.
Blswell is studying methods of
controlling the threat. One possi
bility is burning, if brush has not
completely taken over. If it has,
burning may result in danger
ous erosion, he reported.
