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. F. Maughan, E.
L. Smith and Gunn arrived at the
Walla Walla municipal airport yes­
terday afternoon in three 046 type
observation planes and they will be
joined today by Captain E. A. Davis,

detail commander, in a Fairchild
photographic ship.
“The photographs to be taken, it
was said, have been ordered by the
district army engineer in Portland
for use In connection with construc­
tion of a dam at The Dalles.
“Specific purposes were not known
and the officers were unable to say
if the views would be used for in­
land navigation, floow control or
hydraulic power production usee.
“Taking of the pictures is expect­
ed to require four full days of work
and if favorable weather is encoun­
tered the work will have been fin­
ished by the end of the week. If
cloudy skis are encountered the
four will return to the base here
and await sunshine, it was said.
"Special equipment has been in­
stalled in the Fairchild plane, It was
said, for the immediate task.”

L. W. Dixson has completed the
harvest of his ten-acre field of hops.
The yield amounted to ten tons of
dried and baled hope. The price at
the present time is over 43 cents per
pound, or $860 per ton. The hops
were of the cluster variety and were
seedless because Mr. Dixson took out
the male vines last spring. While
the production would have been 20
percent greater under the ordinary
methods, the price is higher.
