PROGRAM CONTRACT FOR DAM C o n stru c tio n C om pany to B egin W o rk on $ 1 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 Jo b R ap id ly a s O et in E q u ip m e n t. 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 »his job will be »«impelled to live «* tcnts unlil the Guy F Atkinson company completes its contract in October and surrenders the J8 bunk- houses that stand near the railroad station. t nder a new policy adopted by the federal government, the common h b o t employed on the dam contracts »¡H he (»aid 50 cents an hour and permitted to work 40 hours a week. wj|j kavf ppjujj „f giving the lowest paid labor $20 a week, ami wi]| bring the average weekly wages for (he dam contracts up to $J0 a w rr|t or better. 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.
