By JOHN KAMI'S
WASHINGTON Ml A Senate
caring on Hells Canyon Dam
pgislation neared an end Thurs
ay with testimony slated by pro
onents and opponents.
The hearing is on a bill to auth
ize a federal dam in the Hells
anyon reach of the Snake River
Ion? the Idaho border, which
otild flood the sites of three
nalle: dam:, proposed by the
Maho Power Co.
The hearing began Wednesday
lore the Senate Interior sub-
Lmmittce and was scheduled to
n three days. But the subcom-
liittee may run out of witnesses
;tc Thursday.
Chairman Anderson (D-NM)
lid at the beginning of Wednes
day's session that the group would
i?ek to expedite itsconsideration
Would Cost Lots More
Reclamation Bureau engineers
titied Wednesday that their
ist estimate for the controver.
:al dam has increased 46 million
illars in the past two years bc
iiise of rising construction costs.
Sie 1955 estimate was 308 mil-
n dollars compared to the nros-
it 354 million dollars. Transmis-
tljon lines would cost an addition
i J 148 million.
pj.locl F. Adamson, Bonneville
; fewer Administration official
j tfom Portland, told the subcom
IBlittee the higher construction
6-f4st estimate would not affect
I M'A rates and that Hells Canyon
'(.power still would be economically
found. .
f. 'Anderson asked whether Hells
Canyon still would be feasible if
i the dam were built and the gov
; eminent paid 15 million dollars
- to Idaho Power Co. for work done
5 on Brownlee Dam. Brownlee is
S one of three dams for which the
i company has a Federal Power
, Commission construction license.
All three sites would be flooded
j by the proposed high federal dam.
f Adamson said lie believed Hells
: Canyon would be feasible even
with the 15 million dollars added
to its cost.
Could be Paid In Year
( Anderson said he believed the
: 15 million could be paid in one
year by power revenues from
Hells Canyon.
. Sen. Dworshak (R-Idaho) asked
when a power shortage is expect
ed to occur in the Pacific North
west. Adamson said one is expect
ed in 1964-65, despite projects
planned for the area by Idaho
Power and other private firms.
Gordon Fernald, Army engineer
: from Portland, Ore., testified in
i reply to a statement by Rep. Ull
, man (D-Orc) concerning" the
V corps' review of its main control
plan for the Columbia River basin.
Ullman said the corps had ex
cluded the middle reach of the
Snake River from its review.
Denying that such had been the
case Fernald said the corps had
given consideration to storage in
Idaho Power's three proposed
; dams, since they were licensed
' by the FPC, and also to the ap
, plication by Pacific Northwest
Power Co. to build Mountain
Sheep and Pleasant Valley Dams.
