The "Copco Two" dedication which is scheduled, to take place next San day, July 5th, marks the culmination of one of the most important con struction jobs ever undertaken in thin territory. A very interesting and entertaining" program has been pre pared for this auspicious event which will be attended bv hundreds of I Copco stockholders customers und employes from all parts of Southern Oregon and Northern California. The dedication .ceremony will be ynique in.thut there will be no lonif speeches or lengthy exercises to take the joy out of an otherwise attractive program. Starting with the flag raising at -11:80 a. -m. which will be followed by a short alle'goricnl eledi there will not be a dull moment in the entire dny. Band concerts by two prize bands, trips of interest over the new project and a big "feed" with plenty of good things to eat will help occupy the time to good advantage until 4 p. m., when the visitors will depart for their homes. Attractive bronze medallions com memmorating the event will be given each guest as a souvenir of the. occa sion. This . important new power devel opment which is located on the Kla math River only 16 miles- from Horn brook represents an investment of over three million dollars and assures an abundance of electric power for this whole territory for every indus trial and domestic need. Actual con struction work was started nearly a year ago and has given employment to hundreds of men throughout the I job as many as 1200 men being em- piuyeii. ai uuv unic miticnaia wen; purchased locally wherever possible the total amount running into im pressive figures. The item of lumber alone represents a total of over 223 carloads, all of which was purchased in Southern Oregon and Northern California. Cement purchased from the Beaver - Portland Cement com pany of Gold Hill, Oregon, totaled 290 cars. -These are but two of the many items which were used in vast quantities in this big hydro-electric development. The following is a brief description of the "Copco Two" project: The diversion dam, wnicn is lo cated just below the Copco No. 1 plant, will divert the waters of the Klamath river into a concrete-lined tunnel 16 feet in diameter and 2440 feet in length. From the end of this tunnel the water will enter a cresoted wood-stave pipe 1318 feet long and 16 feet in diameter. This is the largest Wood-stave pipe in the world and will be a source of great interest to those who visit the project- on July 6th. From this huge pipe the water will pass into a second -tunnel 1105 feet long.' Both of these tunnels are lined with concrete in a horseshoe section, :the area of which is equivalent to a circle 16 feet in diameter. From the lower end of the second tunnel the! water will be conducted through two steel penstocks, each 13 1-2 feet in dia meter and nearly 400 feat in length to the power house below. In the power house, which is of structural steel construction, there will be found two vertical type generating units, each consisting of a 20,000 horsepower turbine and 15,000 kilo watt generator. After passing through the turbines the water is returned to the Klamath river by means of. a tailrace 75 feet wide and 250 feet long. With the completion oi tnis new power plant the Copco generating svstem will embrace a total of 11 I different power plants on three principal rivers, namely: The Kla Imath, the Rogue and the Umpqua, 'with a total capacity of over 100 080 turbine horsepower, i The . entire project is of extreme interest throughout and will no doubt prove a revelation to those who have never visited an extensive l.y-pro-electric- development of such magnitude. Members of the Copco organization will act as guides, and will personally conduct the visitors over the job. The roads leading into Copco are- said to be in good con dition and no difficulty is anticipated in caring for the unusually heavy travel which is expected in connec tion with the big, event on July 5th. !
