He officially named the proposed structure the 'Shasta Dam," after the majestic snow crowned peak that guards the north ern extremity of California's great Central valley. Mr. Page said large scale construc tion on the $170,000,000 water con servation project, already In the camp-butlding stage, has been has tened by action of the recent con gress in clearing legal obstacles to its authorization and appropriating an. additional (12,500,000 for this year's work. The commissioner, out from Wash ington, D. C, on an Inspection tour of bureau of reclamation work, char acterized the Central Valley project as "remedial, not promotional," and said it therefore "is a perfect ex ample of the type of irrigation en terprise In which the federal gov ernment should Interest Itself. One of Largest Dams "By providing better distribution of water In the semi-arid Interior valleys of California, the project will preserve and restore these rich areas already highly developed areas rep- resenting a producing agricultural Investment of two billion dollars now facing decline or collapse be cause of an Inadequate water sup ply." Mr. Page said. Shasta dam, during the years of preliminary study and exploration, has been known as Kennett dam, un officially named after a railroad way station In the Sacramento conyon Just above the damslte 13 miles from Redding, seat of Shasta county.

From the white slopes of Mount Shasta Itself will come some of the waters to be controlled and regulated at the dam for the benefit of Irrigation, flood protection, navigation, industrial and domestic use. salt wnter repul sion and power generation in the vallew below," he said. "Mount Shasta, double peaked ex tinct volcano towering 14,161 feet above sea level, Is one of the nation's highest and one of the world's most beautiful mountains. Its snowy crest was a familiar sight to settlers far down the state long before white men ever trod the green grass In the thick forests at Its base. Today, from the dome of the state capltol In Sac ramento, one plainly can see Shas ta's white top lifted proudly above the blue range that closes In the val ley to the north.
