There may be en gineering reasons for this lack, but with all that has been said about the shortage of power in the northwest It seems odd Ur build dams on the Santiam for flood control only. McNary dam Is apparently go ing to be built although it may be years before It produces any North turn at WASCO power It Is likely that no private concern will dare build any dams because of fear of government Wasco, Oregon interference and this restricts Phone possible solution of the^ power shortage ‘ be as acute as stated.) Close at home flows the Des chutes river which could be made to produce electric . power in quantity as great as almost any river In the nation mile of it. The flow Is constant and loss of commercial flab would be neg ligible. Why the government chooses to build on big rivers instead of the . smaller ones is not explained; perhaps the en gineers like a bigger job It la yet to be proven that the irrigation plans fon the big dams is worth while; the transportation feature (whidh is charged with a goodly part of the cost) is yet io be used extensively.

Some minor gains are promised by this action. Shortly after it goes into effect it will be possible to dine without din and there might be a lessen ing of radio noises. Eventually, however.
