PAGE AI THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON. OREGON. ARMY WILL PHOTOGRAPH RIVER Airplane photographs of the Col umbia river valley from The Dalles to Wenatchee are now being taken, according to a news item in the Walla Walla Union. The new work will also include the Snake river canyon from Pasco to Lewiston. The story alleged that the work is under direction of the Army engineers and in connection with the survey of the proposed dam at The Dalles just be low Celilo falls. Two dams are proposed at The Dalles. One would back water to John Day rapids and one to Wenat chee. The elevation at The Dalles is 150 feet and at Wenatchee 600 feet. The photographic surveys seem to contemplate the higher dam. or a Blackwater pool, or great inland lake the entire distance. This lake would submerge all the towns and railroads and highways along the Columbia and Snake. Her miston would be 150 feet under wate). Pasco and Kennewick would be on about the same lake bottom. John Day rapids, Umatilla rapids, Priest rapids and all the other Col umbia river rapids and all the Snake river rapids from the mouth to Ri paria would be drowned out. Echo. Prosser, Touchet and all points of 600 toot level around the new in land lake would be eligible to port development. All possibilités of pow er development at all these river rapids would be lost or concentrated at the big high dam at The Dalles. The cost would be in the hundreds of millions or billions including the dam and power construction and property damage and replacements of railroads and highways. The news item as printed in the Union is as follows: "Aerial photographs of the Col umbia river from The Dalles to Rock Island dam at Wenatchee and of the Snake river from its confluence with the Columbia at Wallula to Lewis- tod, will be taken during the next few days by a group of United States army pilots from the 91st observa tion squadron at Fort Lewis, near Tacoma. “Lieutenants E.
