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.

A homespun comedy-romance,
cleverly acted, skillfully directed and
with the added advantage of a plot
that is different, "Old Home Week,"
Thomas Meigfian's latest picture, is
showing at the Cratcrian tonight for
the last ime.
Here is a picture that .portrays the
sunny side of Main Street and does
it in a human, and humorous fash
ion. - Although the star's performance
is the outstanding feature, he is nbly
supported by an exceptional line-up
of experienced players, headed by
Liln Lee.
The story deals with the experi
ences of a small town boy, who re
turns home nfter having "made good''
in New York. The citizens hail his
arrival with the keenest, delight bo
cause the town is at that very mo
ment in the midst of an oil boom.
The local "hero" discovers that ra
couple of crooked promoters a're in
back of the oil boom, and inhabi
tants learn that their native son is
in reality a failure and bankrupt. The
resultant developments are full of ac
tion and suspense, eventually leading
up to a surprise climax and a happy
ending.
Horses with nation-wide reputa
tions for their bucking : proclivities
will be seen making life uncomfort
able for some of the world's cham
pion riders as a part of the entertain
ment furnished in "Let 'Hr Buck,"
opening at the'Rialto Theater tomor
row, booked as a special attraction for
the Fourth of July, with Hoot Gib-ion
i,i his biggest starring role.

progress. Edward Sedgwick took his
company from Universal City to Pen
dleton and made the great carnival of
cattle range sports the location for his
picture work.
"The Air Mail," which closes to
night at the Kialto, is a rapid-fire,
up-to-the-minute melodrama based
on the United States Government Air
Mail Service, the code of which ser
vice is, "Noil snow, nor rain, nor
wind, nor night, can stay the pilot In
his flight." . ... :.
