Ross Surveys Routes
For Bonneville Lines
Immedately following the Public
Works allotment of $10,750,000 for
Bonnevill's initial transmission sys
tem, Administrator J. D. Ross set
out on a personal survey of the
routes of the proposed power lines.
Accompanied by Charles E. Carey,
principal construction engineer, the
Bonneville administrator made a
detailed inspection of the region be
tween Grand Coulee and the lower
Columba river dam. On foot and by
car Ross and three engineers from
his staff investigated the 250-mile
route of the "high line" that will
link the federal hydroelectric pro
jects of the Northwest.
Administrator Ross pointed out
that" the 220,000 volt line to Grand
Coulee was the kep to opening the
power markets of eastern Oregon
and Idaho, and developing an inte
grated power system that will econ
omically serve all of the Northwest,
According to Secretary of the In
terior Ickes, the high tension circuit
will not only enable the government
to recover its investment in Bonne-
vlile dam at an earlier date, but it
will materially advance the develop
ment of Grand Coulee by furnishing
a market which Coulee can take
over. Mr. Ross predicted that by the
time that dam was completed, the
demand for power in western Ore'
gon and Washington would be so
great that it would absorb Bonne
ville's entire output of 504,000 kilo'
watts.
The major circuits in Oregon will
include a 110,000 volt line from the
dam to The Dalles by way of Hood
River. Approximately half the pop-
ulation of Oregon will be reached by
a line that will extend down the
Willamette valley from Portland,
passing through Oregon City, Salem,
Albany and Eugene. This line will
provide a strong "intertie" with the
southern part of the state and help
meet an increased power demand of
the municipal system at Eugene.
Returning from his survey of the
transmission network, Mr. Ross
pointed out that the lines he will
build are in no sense the limit of
his program. They are merely the
beginning. Extensions of the initial
transmission system will be made as
rapidly as markets are developed
and construction funds made avail
able. The proposed lines are designed
to connect with existing and future
distribution system that will serve
a wide area.
OSC Students Receive
Coveted Appointments
Oregon State College Appoint
ments as second , lieutenants in the
engineer corps of the United States
army have been received by four
Oregon State college students who
received their ROTC commissions
and their degrees in engineering in
June. The new appointees are Stan
ley Kelley, George Bennett and
Frederick Zitzer of Portland, and
William Holley of Corvallis.
Such appointments are available
to only the upper 5 per cent of the
graduating class of West Point, and
there were only 36 appointments
available this year. Oregon State has
made an exceptional record in plac
ing four men each year for the past
two years in the regular army en
gineers corps, according to Colonel
F. C. Test, commandant at the col
lege.
Gazette Times, Heppner,
Church Has Big
Place in Rural
Social Program
The church, movies and the auto
mobile are the chief factors in the
social life of older rural young peo
ple in Oregon, according to the sur
vey made by J. R. Beck, rural ser
vice specialist at Oregon State col
lege, and Barnard Joy, agriculturist
with the national extension service.
The organization to which the
largest number of young people be
longed were church, Sunday school
and young people's organizations of
the church. More than half (52.4 per
cent) of the 410 young people be
tween the ages of 16 and 25 be
longed to the church, while 26.8 per
cent considered themselves mem
bers of the Sunday school. Exactly
25 per cent were members of such
young people's organizations as
Christian Endeavor, Epworth League
and B. Y. P. U.
The typical young person in Till
amook, Union, Clackamas and Lane
counties, where the study was made,
attended one of the church organi
zations, went to the movies and went
auto riding with others for pleasure
each on an average of three times a
month. The approximate average at
tendance at meetings of organiza
tions not associated with the church
and at suppers, parties and picnics
was once a month. In addition, the
typical young person interviewed at
tended one or two fairs a year and
took three trips to places more than
50 miles from his home. The aver
age total participation of young wo
men in social activities was 204
events a year, compared to 156 by
the young men.
While many of the young people
expressed keen interest in new rural
extension organizations which would
give them more social contact, the
average total social participation for
all those interviewed shows 178
events a year, which is almost 3 a
week, or one every two days.
"A group program sponsored by
the extension service could in part
satisfy the needs felt by the young
people when they indicated that
