“ The Administrator will not dis­
tribute the power to individuals in a
community at retail. Private power
companies may negotiate to receive
power from the dam. or the residents
of any area may organize a public
power district, a cooperative associ­
ation, or a municipally-owned system
for the distribution of power pur­
chased from the Bonneville project.”
These were statements by Bonneville
Administrator J. D. Ross, made De­
cember 1, in his Bulletin No. 1,
headed "Department of the Interior
—The Bonneville Project.”
In a series of informal talks, Ad­
ministrator Ross has recently told
delegates from all parts of Oregon,
Washington, and Idaho that the fed­
eral project on the Columbia River is
Intended to spread the advantages of
low-cost electricity to the farms,
homes and industrial establishments
of the greatest number of people
rather than to benefit a limited group
in any one area.
The Administrator has expressed
the opinion that there will be ample
power for industrial purposes, par­
ticularly for industries that employ
a fair amount of labor and which will
develop the Northwest. Applications
for approximately If5,000 kilowatts of
power for such use will shortly be
considered. Power districts, private
utilities, manufacturers, cooperatives
and municipal plants have been re­
quested to communicate directly with
the Administrator, as he is now ac­
tively developing a market and plan­
ning the routes of proposed transmis­
sion lines.

Red Cross Drive
Over the Top

“ It’s the largest year yet and re­
turns are still coming in,” declared
C. C. Lindley, Hood River County
treasurer of the recent Red Cross
drive, speaking yesterday of the
manner in which Hood River County
responded to the annual membership
drive which closed Thanksgiving
Day. Just what the total returns are
for the county will not be known
until all districts have reported, but
all indications are that this year’s
roll call is a record-breaker.
A quota of 700 memberships was
given this county, and many districts
which have reported, have sent in
returns far in excess of expectations.

The mixer from which the concrete
is taken is located on a level between
Sherman street and the railroad
tracks. Sand and gravel, hauled by
Lofts & Son, is dumped from trucks
at the Sherman street level, just
south of the highway bridge across
the river, dropping to the mixer.
From the mixer, concrete flows into
a truck on the level of the railway
tracks, to be hauled along the
tracks to where the final pourings
are made. The concrete structure will
be 750 feet in length, separating
stone embankments, at both ends of
the concrete structure. Pouring of
