ON COOPERATION
(Continued from Pig On)
at Christmas time to resume ad
vanced planning, and late in
January, with America fully in
the war, construction of the
camp was authorized in Wash
ington.
Five Take Contract
Construction was actually be
gun late In February, with the
prime contract awarded to a
syndicate of five companies,
namely, Ford J. Twalts company
of Los Angeles, Morrison-Knud-
sen company of Boise, Idaho,
Peter Kiewet and Sons of Oma
ha, Nebraska, The Sound Con
struction company of Seattle
and The Griffith company of
Los Angeles.
First concrete was poured
March 11 of this year and since
then the job has stayed ahead
of schedule throughout its con
struction. At the peak of con
struction early in July, many
thousand workmen were em
ployed. It is understood that
construction is now substanti
ally complete, except for a few
minor phases.
Major. Bean had words of
praise for all members of the
area engineer's office, including
Captain Byron E. Doll, execu
tive and engineering officer;
First Lieutenant William A.
Jones, property officer and Cap
tain Lin Shields, who was in
the engineer's office during a
great deal of the construction
period and who since has been
appointed post engineer at Camp
White, his function being to
maintain and operate the utili
ties of the camp.
Cited by General
"All these men had a great
deal to do with the successful
construction of the camp,"
Major Bean said, as did civilian
personnel who were exception
ally loyal and Industrious."
In recognition of the excellent
Job done by Major Bean in rush
ing the completion of the camp
Major General Charles H. Ger
hardt, commander of the 91st
division, has recommended that
he be promoted to the rank of
lieutenant colonel.
The Medford-Klamath Falls
area is under the direction and
directly responsible to the Port
land district engineer, Colonel
Donald J. Lechey.

AFTER LONG ILL
Portland, Aug 14 (P)
Death took Sam Brown, the Ger-
vais farmer who became one of
Oregon's most colorful politi
cians, at a hospital late yester
day. . '
Virtually unknown by his full
name, Samuel Henry Brown, he
died after an extended illness at
68 He was a longtime member
of the State Legislature, as rep
resentative in the 1913 and 1917
sessions and as senator from
1923 to 1933.
Twice, in 1934 and 1938, he
sought the Republican nomina
tion for governor, but it was his
1936 campaign against Charles

torial nomination that perhaps
ittracted the most attention.
He stumped the state with
'$40 and a Ford" and when his
'our was threatened by depleted
funds he said, "I'll walk if I
must." Many voters came to his
aid with contributions of gaso
line. SILVERTON PLANT
