Phone 4702 • «3B No. 51 * POWERPLANT IS DEDICAT Odell 229 * Phone 2371 Hood River assumed holiday ■pirli Thursday for the ded lost ton of • 91,250,000 hydro-electric plant just completed on Hood river, immediately South of the city, by ths Pacific Power 4 Light Company. About 175 prom­ inent Portland officials of power con­ cerns, flnanelal iustitntions and Arms engaged in the manufacture of elec­ trical equipment motored here for the event, and The Dalles sent a delega­ tion of 50, chiefly members of the Kl- wanis Club, all of whom were individ­ ualised by their unique Klwania caps. Following a buffet lunch s<*rved to 700 persons nt the tuess camp of the Phoenix Utility Company, builder of the big project, the formal program was held beside the new power bouse. Lewis A. McArthur, general manager and vice-president of the interstate KIh 11c ut I lit j presided. Ghy W. Tal- t, president, announced that other similar power projects later would be constructed on Hood River. L. B. Gibson, county school superin­ tendent, represented Hood River coun­ ty. He expressed appreciation on the part of the busiaeM folk of the town and the people in general fur the dis tribution of the heavy labor fund. More than 50 per cent of the >1,250,000 was HiHiit in wages. Mr. Glbauu said that last summer, when a maximum of 450 Hood Residents were among the 827 employes, a large numlier of high school students were able to earn money for pursuing their work this year. Judge Fred W. Wilson, of The Dalles, president of the Oregon State Bar Aasociation, declared that the in­ stallation caUlug forth the day's cere­ monies was but the initiation of a power development in the Columbia river basin that in time would be the lradlng exemplification of hydro-elec­ trical projects of the continent. Mr. McArthur introduced officials of the power company and numerous guests,' among tlkem the following: R. D. Johnson, of New York City, de- siger of the surge tank and gigantic valve segulating the flow and pressure of the great water bead; H. T. Hum­ phrey, of Portland, manager of the plate steel depart met of the Wiliam- eile TR®~r Ntefl-WöfMT stalled the steel pipe and gates-of the huge dam, and C. L. Wernicke, man­ ager of the Portland branch of thr Wsatinghouae Electric Company, which Installed the generating machinery. «•parity The generator, Which bds a capacity of 9,000 horsepower, Is the largest driven by water in the Northwest. In­ deed, electric experts have said that the Hood river, plant is the most com­ plete now in operation in the North­ west. No other plant west of the Miss­ issippi is equipped with a Johnson valve or surge tank. Because of the new features the de­ signer made the journey from New York City in order that he might wit­ ness its operation. His coining waa a surprise to the officials who arranged the dedication services. The ceremony ended with a dramat­ ic climax when Mias Prudence Talbot, daughter of the company's president, moved a lever that opened the huge Johnson valve. The hum of the great turbine set the crowd to cheering. Miaa Talltot then pressed a button that turned the energy being developed by the mighty generator into a system of transformers that stepped it up from 6,000 to 06,000 volte, and the energy flowed out through the intricate switchyard across the Columbia and thence in a twinkling down to Port­ land. It was also immediately avail­ able at The Dalles and other inid- Columbla iniInta. For a minute small guage lights on the switch dial manipulated by the girl seemed to flicker. It was ex­ plained that this phenomenon would result until the plant and other huge projects with which It was tied in be- caipe synchronized. The little lights grew steady and glowed brilliantly de­ spite the glare of an afternoon sun. "She's going," cried Mr. McArthur, and thus the 9,000 horsepower of new energy from the Hood river's white coal, was cut In for driving Northwest­ ern induatrit«. As cameras clicked and a motion picture machine recorded the activities, Miss Talbot pulled a cord that released the folds of a huge American Flag high up on the giant surge tank, which towered 207 feet above the spectators. The crowd gave an ovation to John E. Shinn, superintendent of construc­ tion of the electrical project. Mr. Shinn, a veteran in electrical ctmstrac- tlon work/ has won a reputation for his ability to handle labor. No trouble, It wss declared, has been ex­ perienced on any of the projects of which he was In charge. The Hood River plant, located about a quarter of a mile south of the city limits, has the following equipment. •Utircly new to northwestern power plants: The Moody spreading draft, tube, Johns«« control valve, Johnson differential surge tank and electrically operated steel roller gate«. Other outstanding! features are as follows: The Intake gate electrically controlled from poww house nearly three miles lower down the river, reinforced con­ crete settling basin, and Venturi meter, where readings of water flow can t»e taken. The net water head 1R 1ST feet. The Are proof powerhouse la 47 by 82 feet and 17 feet high. The Mg surge tank is 207 feet high. The flow line Is 15.985 feet long, made up of the fol­ lowing construction: Woodstave pipe. 10 feet in dlamdter, 7.851 feet; 10-foot steel pipe, 604 feet; steel pipe, of a diameter 8 feet and 4 inches, 1,409 feet; wood stars pipe, 8 feet in diam­ eter, 120 feet; wood «taré pipe,. 8 feet and 4 inches, 4,506 feet; open wood flume, 977 feet; concrete lined ditch, 520 feet The pipeline has a capacity of 500 cubic feet per second. It Is supported by 1,360 concrete saddles. The aeries of settling basins, which will remove glacial silt from the water, are 142 feet long by 48 feet wide. They can be flushed separately without tnter- of the unique roller gates is 76 feet long and 7 feet and 8 Inches in diam­ eter. The gates can be so operated as to divert into the intake so much of the flow of the stream as needed for driving the generator. The folkowing items of material were used: Cement, 14,000 barrels; sand and gravel, 16,700 cubic yards; total quality of reinforcing material, 193 tons; lumber in pipeline, 1,700,000 taiard feet; steel bands -on pipeline, 45,276. The total number of cars of material reached 700. Included among the electrical folk present were: E. Q. Robinson, of Canby; 8. Sampson, of Stevesiaon, Wash.; Fred Henshaw, of the United States Geodetic Survey; P. H. Deter, of the Bureau of Publie Roads; Major Park, of the United State« War De­ partment; R. H.

Chief meats and pastries of the highest qual­ ity in sumptuous quslitlties, won high praise from the crowd. The committee In charge of prepara­ tions for the su<-cesaful dedication was composed of Berkeley H. Snow, man­ ager of the local branch of the com­ pany; J. B. KHmore, of The DaHea, and 8. E.
