As the work at the Ordnance Depot is drawing to
a close, we are beginning to realize that we will miss
the engineering firm of Stevens & Koon, and the
large corp of engineers who have so efficiently done
their work. They have been here fifteen months,
and many of them have become identified as citi
zens of the community. Mr. Koon built a beautiful
duplex apartment and made other investments. Dur
ing the calamity that occurred last spring in the
break of the feed canal, they gave their services in
an elaborate relocation of the lifeline of the Umatil
la project for which every farmer and local citizen
should be forever grateful. They recognized the
emergency, saw what they could do and did it with
out ostentation or display. Their work on the Ord
nance Depot was of the highest quality, and we
trust, will redound to their already high reputation
as engineers.

' Again the newspapers are full of development of
the Columbia river and construction of the Umatilla
rapids dam. The President has asked Mr. Mansfield,
chairman of the l ivers and harbor bill, to hasten the
passage of the billion dollar river and harbor Omni
bus bill. In that bill are features that are called
“Must”, and the Umatilla dam is one of them. Dr.
Paul J. Raver of Bonneville is strong for the dam,
and last but not least, Secretary Ickes is advocating
the same. Power is said to be needed as soon as it
can be available for defense and industry. All to
gether the forces behind the Umatilla dam are grow
ing large, and the early construction is now consid
ered unanimous.

Houses and more houses are needed. We suggest
that those who have good one room affairs, or two
rooms, begin reconstruction and make bigger and
better places for permanent families to live. The
tent house and trailer house and mere shack time is
over, and more attractive and modern places are
sought daily by families who will pay reasonable
rentals and remain permanently.

KILLEFER FARM SCRAPERS
NCREASE the value of your farm—make those much-
I needed improvements with a Killefer Farm Scraper.
Every time an American anti-aircraft gun
lets go with a big 3-inch shell it uses up
nearly 8 pounds of copper—the equivalent
of 25 feet of rural or suburban power line.
Copper, the most practical carrier of elec
tricity. is also a vital part of all ammunition
— the shell case, the primer, and the coat
ing on the projectile.
Now that America is producing millions
of shells a day. you can imagine how scarce
copper has become War production offi
cials estimate their copper requirements at
5,000,000 tons to the end of next year. Only
3,200.000 tons are in sight.
If our army and navy are to have all the
bullets they need to win this war. civilian
use of copper must be drastically curtailed.
Huilt in 3-1/2- and 5-foot sizes to match the power of
wheel-type tractors, this many-purpose tool will handle
all your earth-moving jobs. It is durable and strong—
all wearing parts are reinforced and protected.
Extremely easy to handle, the Killefer Farm Scraper is
tractor-controlled. It cuts and spreads thick or thin,
dumps forward or backward.

■
For example. power companies, normally
the largest civilian users of copper, can no
longer build long extensions to serve farms
or suburban homes.
Nor can new electrical installations be
made to serve industries without approval
of the War Production Board. For in power
lines, as well as in industrial plants. Amer
ica must get the utmost out of existing
facilities—if we are to avoid wasting prec
ious time, materials and manpower.
Just as soon as the enemy has been
thoroughly defeated. Pacific Power & Light
will again continue its policy of extending
copper lines almost anywhere to deliver its
cheap, dependable electricity.
