Kwry house in Cascade Locks is occupied and new cottage«
are beinjf gobbled up before they are finished. The reason for
this is obvious. Cascade Locks is only a short 10 minutes from
the ltonneville dam by automobile. Government employes can
live here and run to and fro to their jobs i less time than the
average man working in the city require« to get to his job.
There are now l.'IOO men engaged in building the Bonneville
dam and on government contracts which have been let in con­
nection with clearing the river channel, running surveys, sinking
test hole«. This number will be doubled as the work progresses.
Cascade Locks will be a permanent town when the great
dam is completed. It was an important point on the fur trade
routes a century ago; it became an important river town with
the coming of the steamboat; it has every opportunity to become
a popular summer resort after the government employes are gone.
There are now more than 1000 people in Cascade Ix>cks and
new families are arrivirr daily. New business houses are being
opened. Men with capital are studying its advantages in relation
to cheap power and deep water to the sea.
Cascade Locks is an obi established community. Its people
are law abiding, friendly, energetic. It has splendid schools, an
abundance of pure mountain water, excellent transportation
facilities.
