Nature's Scenic Cascades
Viewed by Local Motorist
Newhalem, Wash. -Whether1
you're interested in dams or
mountainous scenery a trip
which includes both is avail
able daily during the summer
in northwest Washington.
The twice daily trips are
of Seattle City Light's Skagit
Hydroelectric project and in
clude rides by bus, incline
railroad and boat.
While the majority of those
who take the trips arrived
here by car, once a week
(on Tuesdays) a bus leaves
downtown Seattle. Newhalem
is about 130 miles from Se
attle and can be easily reach
ed via Highway 99 then 55
miles east of Sedro-Woolley.
The drive through the fer
tile, and apparently prosper
ous, Skagit valley and along
the Skagit river to Newhalem
is well worth the trip in it
self. Briefing
For those taking the morn
ing tour a briefing is held in
Currier hall here where the
entire hydroelectric project
is explained. Then lunch is
served family style in the
chow hall across the street.
Platters of fried chicken,
spaghetti, cold cuts and
cheese, potatoes, green beans,
salads, relishes and dinner
rolls are passed and after you
have eaten far too much,
there is blackberry pie and
ice cream.
Here the buses are boarded
for the seven mile trip to the
incline railway at Diablo
dam. A guide, University of
Washington students, accom
pany each bus and comments
on points of interest.
Every mile of the trip un
folds magnificent view of
primitive mountain regions
usually inaccessible except to
the seasoned high-country
hiker.
The road, winding along
the Skagit river, has recently
been widened and extended
by the Bureau of Public
Roads. Tourists can now trav
el this route during certain
hours to U.S. Forest service
campgrounds and recreational
areas about five miles beyond
Diablo dam.
This road, part of the pro
posed North Cross-State high
way, will join Highway 16 at
Mazama north of Winthrop
and Twisp, which should be
come a major scenic road in
the state.
Four Tunnels
The present road, which in
cludes four tunnels, one for
westbound traffic only, is on
the old railroad grade which
wus discontinued in 1954.
Residents note, however, that
surveys for a road through
litis area and on cast were
first made in the 1870s when
there was talk of gold here.
The highway crosses Gorge
creek and the bus stops to let
the passengers look down 250
feet to the water.
The first of the three dams
is Gorge dam. Next is Diablo
dam. The incline railroad
was built after the comple
tion of Diablo to surmount
a ring of impassable moun
tains. It carried all materials
and equipment for die Moss
dam to the upper level of
Diablo dam. From there work
men traveled by barge to the
damsilc-41 -j miles away.
The traveler today takes
the same trip, the platform
with a capacity of 158.000
pounds climbs the 08 per cent
grade in six minutes. It oper
ates on three sets of tracks
and as it rises the tiOO feel
it provides the traveler with
a panoramic view of snowy
peal's spread out in all direc
tions with Diablo camp and
its green lawns below.
Solid Rock
The incline slops on the
level of a road which cuts
through solid rock, and it is
here that one gets the first
view of Diablo dam and lake.
The dam Is wedged between
two rocky walls so close to
gether that one wonders
where engineers found space
enough for it.
The boat Alice Ross 11 is
boarded for the trip to Ross
dam powerhouse. There are
two levels to the boat and
the more hearty chose the
upper deck so as not to miss
a single snowy mountain or
rocky cliff.
Al ttie powerhouse the i
! guides explain its operation j
; in language easily understood
; by the layman and tar more :
thoroughly than in larger j
dinns loured by this traveler, j
Also, the guide was able to
I answer several questions
here in previous tours else
where she had received only
! vague half-interested replies.
From the powerhouse one
can see Ross dam, fifth high
est in the world when com
pleted in 1959. It backs the
waters of the Skagit river 'J4
miles extending into Canada.
Visit Garden
Returning to Newhalem the
bus stops at the Ladder Creek
falls and garden established j
I by one of the tirst superin-I
pendent;, of the Seattle City j
Light company. The gardens, j
' neglected during World War
I 11. have never regained their
j status of the pre-w ar era j

and flowers are not identified,
A few of the exotic ones sur
vive, and one wishes there
was someone, somewhere in
terested enough in the garden
to restore it or identify the
plants growing there today.
From here it is a short walk
back to the car and the drive
out.
Reservations are recom
mended for the trip and may
be made through Skagit Tours
office of the City Light com
pany in i Seattle. The tour
price ($3) includes the trans
portation throughout the proj
ect and one meal. Persons
taking the afternoon tour
have the evening meal instead
of lunch.
Motorists traveling north
anytime through September
15 should plan to take the
tour adding to their knowl

Housewives Offer Ideas
For Improving Products
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York-lUPli-The nation's
housewives never run low on
ideas for improving the manu
facturers' products.
The latest list of "why
don't they?" from a consumer
consultant panel arrived on
this desk today. The women
offered suggestions ranging
from a plea for soup without
onions to man-sized paper
handkerchiefs packaged in
masculine looking containers.
National Family Opinion,
Toledo, Ohio, compiled these
"why don't they?" from let
ters written by the women
consultants. The firm says it
has 85,000 homemakers en
rolled as part time advisers.
One woman wondered why
there weren't more of the pop
ular soups made without
onions for those who cannot
eat the "tasty" little fellows.
The one who wanted the
man-sized paper hankies indi
cated the packaging of most
of those now available arc in
feminine looking boxes.
Other "why don't they?"
requests:
-Make a spray can dis
penser for grease and oil to
be used for baking purposes.
Cloth Bags
-Put flour in cloth bags as
they used to. The cloth was

useful in numerous ways
when the flour was gone.
-Make clastic that will last
as long as the garments that
it is sewn into.
-Package lard and other
shortenings in pre-measurod
units, as they do for butter
and margarine.
-Use tubes to pack butter or
margarine for picnic and tra
vel use to simplify sandwich
making. -Package individual s e r v
ings of instant tea or coffee.
The writer suggested such
packages would be easy to
carry to work and with a lit

-Make windshield wipers
of black metal only. At cer
tain angles of the sun and car,
sun reflection on chromium
is blinding.
-Put non-metal, perhaps
plastic, stocking fasteners on
girdles because many persons
are allergic to metals.
Invent a better toothpaste
lube. With a family of "mid
dle squishers" something new
would be welcome.
-Make a clear plastic foot
feed on the sewing machine
so one can sec when the bob
bin thread is almost gone.
-Fit upright freezers with
roll-out baskets on the shelves.
If a freezer is al all full,
frozen packages continually
slide out when the freezer
door is opened.
-Arrange the stocks of
supermarkets so that eggs,
butter, frozen products and
bread can be picked up last.
Having these first on a shop
