'SHASTA DAM' IS
OFFICIAL TITLE
Reclamation Commissioner
Visits Site 0 Proposed
Huge Storage Dam Near
Redding To Rush Work
YREKA, Calif., Sept. 20. (Spl.)
John C. Page, United States commis
sioner of reclamation, last week In
spected the site near Keiinett. Calif.,
for the giant storage dam that Is to
become the key unit of the Central
Valley project. 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. Mr.
Page pointed to the geographical and
historical significance of the name
Shasta and said present engineering
designs for the structure will make
It one of the world's largest concrete
dams.
Creat e Huge Reservoir
"It will rise -over 450 feet above
the bed of the river, to back up
water more than 25 miles and create
reservoir with a storage capacity
In excess of three million acre-feet
The dem will be more than 2600
feet long on the crest. 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
