TOKETEE FALLS POWER PLANT IN OPERATION The
first unit of the eight-unit Toketee electric generating project of
the California Oregon Power company went into operation for the
first time recently. It is shown in the picture above as it appeared
before the recent snowfalls. The power plant pictured here cost
about $7 million. The water flowing from beneath the power
plant will be reused by other units of the project further down
stream. The main penstock has a sharp drop from the top, where
the water tunnel empties into the plant facilities. Each of the three
lower penstocks leads to a turbo-generator. At the top can be seen
the surge tank, which acts as a safety valve, in case one or more
penstocks are shut off. If it were not for this safety feature, the
sudden added pressure in remaining penstocks might split them
wide open, Copco engineers say. The photograph was taken by G
A. Pickett, 637 J street, who was employed in the construction of
the unit last year.
Livestock Census Completed In State;
Sheep Lead; Horses Said Disappearing
Salem, Jan. 21 A census of
livestock in Oregon has recently
been compiled for taxation pur
poses by the assessment and tax
ation division of the state tax
commission, according to Tax
Commissioner Robert D. Mac
lean. In addition to livestock the
census includes mink, foxes, and
other fur bearing animals, as
well as bees and poultry. The
tabulation was made in each
county by county assessors as
part of their duties in making up
assessment rolls.
Sheep Predominate
The report sH.ws that sheep
still predominate, although the
number is not as large as for
merly. There are 956,495 sheep
in the state. Cattle number 748,
042. Swine total 58,020. The no
ticeable slump is in the horse
and mule division. Assessors
counted 52,940. The decrease is
the result of mechanizing farms
and the Increased use of the au
tomobile for transportation.
Maclean's report says there
are 14,177 fur bearers, most of
them mink. There are 9,715
stands of bees.
Leading county for livestock
is Malheur, which had with
80,924 head of cattle and 6,190
horses and mules, and was in
second place with 38,342 sheep,
and third place with 4,845 swine.
Harney was second with 71,729
cattle and 4,475 horses.
Despite the thousands of sheep
on the range east of the Cas
cades, Douglas county in west
ern Oregon has more sheep than
any other, and exceeds the near
est competitor by 42.000. Douglas
reported 80,864 sheep. Third
sheep county was Linn, with
36.921, and Morrow was fourth
with 31,673. Wallowa had 6,714
swine, followed by Clackamas
with 5,113; Uniou with 4,400,
and Baker, 4,358.
Tillamook had the fewest
horses. 265, and the least num
ber of sheep, 251, but it leads
with fur bearing animals, report
ing 6,038. Clatsop was second
with 3,165, then Multnomah with
1,828. Thirteen counties had fur
farms. Umatilla has the most bee
stands, 1,783, and Tillamook the
least, 73.
Poultry, including turkeys, is
concentrated in the Willamette
valley, although there is excel
lent production in all counties.
Lane lead with 216,985; Wash
ington second with 210,061;
Clackamas with 199,690. Other
important counties were Yam
hill, 188,900, and Linn, 104,816.
