Inc., states that construction of
the temporary bridge crossing
the Santiam river upstream
from the dam sight, is nearing
completion this week.
The big Job being undertaken
now is the excavation for an
upstream portal tunnel for di
version ot the river One of the
large bulldozers has been trans
ferred to the other side of the
river to work on the project. To
gain the desired location the
machine had to be taken in a
round about way over the top
o a mountain, then down the
opposite side, which was al
most perpendicular.
In the attempt the machine
had to be held back by cables
tied around trees and finally
the Job ended by having to
bring another bulldozer over
the hill to rescue the first one.
Palmer, accompanied by several
other men, made a' trip to the
dam sight Friday to take picT
tures for official use.

ect is showing more progress
