Record Construction Program Now Being Carried on by PP&L Pacific Power & light company's record breaking 1957 construction program required the investment of $56,000,000, the largest amount of new capital of any year in the company's history, it was report ed Monday. Further expansion of system-( wide customer service facilities' and the completion of generating: plants now being built wil ro-1 quire another record outlay of. capital funds during 1958, PP&L president Paul B McKee report-j ed in a year-end summary of the company's activities. j Since 1950 Pacific has expended, over $170,000,000 in construction j to help meet area needs, Includ- j ing a half-million-kilowatt power plant program, McKee said. "During the year now closing Pacific invested $50,000,000 in new generating plant construction, transmission lines and distribu tion fec.'-ities." McKee reported. "And in 1958 it is expected that a larger amount will be expended to complete projects now under way and to maintain the rate of expansion required by area growth ." Major phases of PP&L's pro gram are the 250,000-kilowatt Swift hydroelectric project in southwest Washington, which ! was half completed in December; work of installing a third 45,000- kilowatt generating unit at the-' Mcrwin plant on the Lewis river; and the 100,000-kilowatt Dave Johnston steam-electric plant In Wyoming which will use coal from deposits PP&L is developing in that state. Under permits of the Federal Power Commission, hydroelectric studies were directed at sites on the north fork of the Coquille- river in soutnwest Uregon ana the Meadows area of the upper Lewis river. PF&L has a license pending before FPC to build the 110,000-kilowatt muddy project upstream from its other three Lewis river developments. Together with three neighbor ing utilities of the Northwest, Pacific hopes to start canstruction In 1958 on the $210,000,000 Pleas ant Valley-Mountain Sheep pro ject on the Snake river for which an FPC license is also pending. The proposal would have an ul timate generating capability of 1,416,000 kilowatts. The possibilities of utilizing coal are also being Investigated in Oregon and in Washington. Near Chehalls, Wash PP&L and Washington Power are exploring seams that might be useful In the future, ond in Coos county Ore gon, the company is studying the prospects at Eden ridge for a nine-mouth power plant of 100, ()()() kilowatt or larger capacity. Long-Dry Southeast Gregon Lakes Filling With Lif e-Giving Water Lakeview Folks Tell Travelers Hunting Good The followlnf It condensa tion of a motorloj; appearing la The Sunday Oregonlan. It U one of an annual terlei of travel itorlee sponsored jointly by the Oregon State Motor as sociation and The Oregonlan. BY HERBERT L. LARSON SUfl Writer, The Oregonlan U. S, highway 97, which cuts through Oregon from The Dalles on the north to Klamath Falls on the south, has been dubbed by one travel expert as the road with 97 varieties of. vacation fun. We found that out on a recent Oregon State Motor association motorlog down the length of the artery. We also discovered that if you want to enjoy 97 varieties plus of vacation enjoyment you should Include the triangle side trip from Lapine to Lakeview and back to Klamath Falls, via highways 31 and 66. We came into Lakeview (4800 feet above sea level and 14 miles from the California border). We came into Lakeview after an overnight stop at East lake and a visit to Paulina lake. A left turn off 97 was made sev eral miles south of Lapine onto highway 31. Keep in mind 31 This is one of the prettiest and non-commercial paved drives of about 150 miles that we ever enjoyed. Traffic Is light and about all you have to worry about on the road are deer, eat' tie and a few horses crossing or visiting on the forest-border ed boulevard. Highway 31 becomes 395 a short spell north of Lakeview. We were told that this Is a fast route from Portland to Reno, Los Angeles and San Diego via The Dalles, Bend, Lakeview and Alturas. This we believe. Lakes Come Back About midway between La pine and Lakeview on 31 is a small community called Silver Lake. A few miles south and east Is Silver lake itself, skirt ed by the highway. And therein lies an Interesting story about the lakes of this region. In Lakeview we learned from Zane Gray (county clerk of Lakec ounty and no relation to the novelist) that years ago there was plenty of water in the lakes thereabouts.

In the early 1930s 6iiver lake and adjacent Sum mer lake dried up and stayed years ago, when water started to return. On this trip we found Silver lake doing well. So much water has returned to the lake bed that the highway grade was raised some eight feeti n one stretch to keep cars on dry land. The work was still in progress as we passed. Why has the water returned? Be cause of heavy rains ani run off according to the explnna tion given us. Skirting the eastern boundary of Fremont national forest, Summer lake comes into view shortly after you leave Silver. Here again is a goodly body of water which the highway borders for nearly ten miles. In Lake county geological remnants of thei ce age can be found close to thel atest lava flows. Of great geological in terest is Abert rim along the east side of Abert lake. Here is the largest exposed geological faultl n North America. It rises 2000 feet above the lake- shore. Young Julian Henubn Jr., Lake county district attorney, took time out to tell us of the vast primitive country iround Lakeview where streams and lakes offer excellent fishing and the hills and valleys abound with game. Lookout rolnt Visited With Herndon at the wheel of his car we climbed along a winding private logging road to them ost spectacular lookout point experienced on the entire trip. Atop Black Cap rim, 7500 feet above Lakeview, Warner valley is a checkerboard with its ranches, farms, lakes and mountain backgrounds. From this perch one can see Goose lake and the California border 14 miles to the south. The northern tip of this size able body of water liesi n Ore gon. There are other easily ac cessible viewpoints, too, near Lakeview. Boundaries of Lake county surround more than scenery, hunting and fishing areas. For ests support four sawmills, two box factories, two planing mills and a moulding plant. Most of the timber Is now being cut on a sustained yield basis. The re gion is rich in mineral deposits and uranium deposit is being worked. Just north of town on 395 at Hunters lodge and hot springs is what we were told is the only continuous spouting geyser in America. It shoots wa'er of 200 degrees heat 60 feet in the air. Homes and buildings nearby are heated from this source. Area's Hunting Good For winter sports there is the Warner valley ski area ten miles from the city center with its 1600-foot electrically-operated ski tow. In the hunting department we learned more than 10,000 mule deer are harvested each year and some 35,(X)U water fowl. The folks down that way are mi'mty hospitable, they Know theii country is big, varied and wonderful area for iuture de- ve'op'nents and opportunities It is a great outdoor country and even during a snort visit you get thef eel that here Is the real west, strong, congenial and rowing.
