CHET BOND, Wallula, Pacific Gas Transmission Co. supervisor,
explains the complicated switching panel at the PGT compres
sor station at lone to members of the lone Lions and the Heppner-Morrow
county Chamber of Commerce at a tour of the sta
tion on September 23. Whenever anything goes wrong at the

PART OF THE LIONS-CHAMBER crowd is shown as they listen to Chet Bond of PGT at the control
house at the lone compressor station, all keenly interested in the rather mystifying opera
tion. The lone plant, which is one of a number cf stations that boosts gas through the pipe
line that runs from Alberta to the San Francisco Bay area, helps build capacity of the line to
650,000 cu. feet of gas per day. Roger Thompson, public relations representative of the com
pany, announced September 23 that PGT plans another expansion of the lone installation, cost
ing $1,778,000. which will help hike capacity of the pipeline to 850.000 cu. ft. per day, if Fed
eral Power Commission approves.- (G-T Photo).

TO TELL AN ACCURATE story, this picture should have another dimension, that of sound. Noise
in the building that houses the turbine and can pressor of Pacific Gas Transmission Comrxmv
at its lone installation was so great that Lions and Chamber members visiting there September
23 couldn't speak above it Lions President Herb Ekstrom. Jr. (right) peers through a glass peep
bole to watch combustion in the gas-fueled turbine. (G-T Photo).
