Hmmstim Ita tlò VOLUME XXX AGENTS PREPARE D A M S IT E F O R CONSTRUCTION WORK CONFIDENCE HELD FOR A U T H O R IZ A T IO N President Roosevelt has not given the order to go ahead with the Uma tilla dam up to this hour. Yester day’s Washington News stated that he would have the recovery program in full swing by the first of July. Whether this will include the Uma tilla dam now was not mentioned, or whether the legality of allotment of funds from the national recovery appropriations bill had been ap proved. Several crews of engineers are now working at the dam site. It is reported that 24 men are re-staking the dam site; that a barge crew is taking soundings; that another crew will be there next Monday to uncap the drill test holes made several years ago; that land appraisers are negotiating with owners of property near the dam site; that surveys have been made for the headquart ers and camp site on public lands near the south end of the dam site, and that men are in the field test ing for gravel pits and rock quar ries, and that many other records are being compiled in readiness for use whenever the order is made to start work. It is also reported that the dam must be built under the new recovery program by 1940 to supply all employment possible dur ing the succeeding months and that three eight hour shifts of men will he used with a possible total of 4000 workers.

"Construction of the dam within a two-year program period is set up, the association pointing out this is entirely feasible providing the time allowed includes two full low water construction seasons, which would mean getting the project started shortly. "It Is estimated 500 men could be put to work, this figure being In creased to 1,500 within 90 days with approximately 3,000 being maintained for the duration of the contract. “Governors of the three Pacific Northwest states, senators and con gressmen and J. D. Roes, adminis trator of Bonneville dam, have been asked to give their cooperation in' behalf of the project. McNary Optimistic "In Portland Tuesday night Sen ator Charles McNary predicted a start would be made this summer on both the Umatilla rapids dam and W illamette valley flood control pro jects, the Associated Press reported.
