Survey of Umatilla Dam Site in Hands
of the Reclamation Service.
The Umatilla rapids project, which
w ill Involve the expenditure of sev­
eral m'llion dollars, has a three fold
purpose
First, the deepening of the water
In the upper Columbia river, making
navigation possible for a distance of
SO miles above the rapids.
Second, the development of water
power for the Irrigation of between
five and six hundred thousand acres
of land in the eastern part of Ore­
gon.
Third, the production of electric
power for commercial purposes.
A fourth phase of the project
which has been proposed would be
the erection of a bridge across the
Columbia river near the a’te of the
huge dam, which will be about three
miles above Umatilla and about
eight miles northest of Hermiston.
The preliminary survey for the
dam site waa made poes'ble by an
appropriation of *50,000 b ythe fed­
eral government and *10,000 by the
state of Oregon. The Umatilla rap­
ids project association, composed of
persons Interested in the develop­
ment of Irrigation facilities for east­
ern Oregon has been active in urg­
ing the federal government to under
take the project.
