application with the Federal
Power Commission for a natural
gas transmission system to serve
the Pacific Northwest.
The new plan would include
349 miles of pipeline in Washing
ton and Oregon and one com
pressor station to be constructed
at a cost of $17,142,000. The firm
said it still plans to obtain gas
from its associate, Westcoast
Transmission Co., Ltd., which
has fuel in Alberta and British
Columbia, Canada.
277-Mile Lin
Under the new plan the Amer
ican company would build a 277
mile main line from the interna
tional boundary near Sumas,
Wash., to Portland. It would
have short branches to Belling
ham, Mt Vernon, Everett Belle
vue, Seattle, Tacoma - Olympia,
Centralia - Chehalis, and Kelso
Longview, all in Washington,
and St. Helens in Oregon.
The proposed line would have
a capacity of 80,000,000 cubic
feet daily at first and 200,000,000
cubic feet eventually.
Planned Two Lines
Originally Westcoast planned
to build two main lines the
Sumas-Portland line and another
extending from Osoyoos, British
Columbia, to serve both Spokane
and the atomic energy plant at
Hanford, Wash. The project
would cost $25,690,000 and
would have a capacity of 221,
000,000 cubic feet of gas daily in
its fifth year of operation.
The amended application said
another company, Trans-Northwest
Gas, Inc., will file an appli
cation . with the FPC seeking
authority to build a line to serve
Spokane and the Hanford plant.

Large Tunnel To Feed
Water Into Ontario
Niagara Falls, Ont. (U.R) A
tunnel large enough to "swal
low" a four-story building,
stretching for more than five
miles, will be built to feed water
into Ontario Hydro's new gen
erating plant at Queenston, Ont.
The $182,000,000 power proj
ect, expected to stretch over the
next four years, is one of the
largest engineering jobs in the
world today. When completed,
the new underground waterway
will be the largest of its kind
anywhere.
The development involves, be
sides construction of the long
pressure tunnel, the building of
an open-cut canal about two and
one-half miles long and the erec
tion of a generating station with
seven 100,000-horsepower units
giving a total output of 525,000
kilowatts.
It was made possible last year
when the United States and
Canada signed a 50-year treaty.
After sufficient water has been
provided to assure the scenic
character of the majectic falls,
the two countries share the re
mainder. '
