Awarding of the $10,000,000 con­
tract on the spillway dam at Bonne­
ville to the Columbia Construction
company of Reno, Nevada, by
United States army engine«;? was af­
firmed by the war department Mon­
day.
Confirmation of the contract will
let the contractors go forward im­
mediately with construction work.
The company has started moving its
equipment into the federal reserva­
tion at Bonneville and early in July
it will begin work on he new bunk-
houses, which will stand on the
hanks of Tanner creek, just west of
the railroad station.
The company expects to start
work on its coffer dam from the
Oregon shore. Work will begin in
the middle of the river. Less than
200 men will be employed in the be­
ginning, but the payroll will be in­
creased as time advances. Eventu­
ally several hundred men will be em­
ployed on the job.
Headquarters for the work.
cording to present plans, will be «*-
tablished near the camp, west of the
administration building at the reser­
vation
When the job Rests into full swing
the contractors will be employing
1,000 men. This will necessitate the
construction of additional bunk-
houses, unless a majority of the men
cNxwe to live outside of the camp.
July 6 the army rntfneers will
award the contract for the founda­
tion of the power house, which will
be 550 feet long, 300 fret wide, and
set in Bradford slough, between the
Oregon mainland and Bradford is­
land. The 500 men to be employed

Army engineers asked the govem-
ment to increase the number of per-
missable working Niqrs for common
laNir in an effort to lift the standard
of living among families which are
dependent upon the dam for a live­
lihood. It should have the result of
enabling workers to find houses ami
(¡v^ outside of camp. Contractors
and engineers at least believe it will
have this result, and so they are not
building as many bunkhousrs as
originally planned.
Silver E. Terras not only enjoyed
a nice run of business last Saturday
when Mrs. Terras joined him in
throwing their new meat market open
to the public, but he really enioyed
passing out the lemonade to the
crowd that flocked into the store to
wish him success. He and Mrs. Terras
made up a 10-gallon jar and it was
all gone before the evening was over.
