S. Army, a "Bonneville Cel ebration” staged at The Dalles by The Dalles-W asco County Chamber of Commerce W ednesday, drew a large delegation from the Dam area. Engineers went to The Dalles via the river in the afternoon and partici pated in the festivities, which were climaxed by a banquet at the Elks Temple in the evening. Honor guest of the affair was Div ision Engineer Col. Thom as M. Rob ins, who was lauded by speakers, particularly Governor M artin, for his work in finding the site, obtaining the project, and constructing the dam. The banquet w as probably the largest gathering of men of public service and public contact ever held in the Mid-Columbia region, accord ing to those who attended. Vancou- ' ver, Astoria, Seattle, Portland, W alla W alla, and Pendleton were in attendance in addition to the engin eers, Governor M artin, Secretary of State Snell, and large delegations from various Mid-Columbia towns. A high light of the program was the pageant, "The W edding of the W aters,” produced by am ateur tal ent of The Dalles, depicting in bur lesque the need for and development of the Bonneville project. Col. Robins w as presented with a gold w atch as a token of apprecia tion, speech of presentation being made by Governor M artin. The state official expressed the thought th at the dam would be a lasting mon um ent to Col. Robins. Responding in a modest m anner, Robins pointed out that Bonneville was the third m ajor engineering project of the Columbia, preceded by the building of the jetty at A storia in 1885, and the dredging of the Columbia to Portland, largely completed in 1917.

At According to dispatches from the East, J. D. Ross, Bonneville Admin istrator, yesterday conferred with President Roosevelt prior to asking the Federal Pow er Commission to fix base rates for electric power gen erated at Bonneville. Ross outlined for the president plans for allocation of operating, power and navigation costs on which the rates will be based. He also asked the president for an additional appropriation for the projects but declined to nam e the figure. Ross revealed that he has been ne gotiating with the Portland Electric Power Company, for the sale of a portion of the Bonneville power, estim ating th at its immediate need is for 10,000 kilowatts. He expressed hope th at he would be able to deal with the Pacific Pow er and Light Company which he believes will need about 12,000 kilowatts. Ross said no com m itments had been m ade pending the fixing of a power price. Discussing proposals for govern m ent purchase of utilities in areas where projects are under way, he said he_ favored such transactions w here an agreem ent could be m ade as to price. He pointed out th at where there is a rate w ar between public and private utilities, especially where the public agency is entering the field, it probably would be better to meet the dem ands of the private utilities to some extent. Ross said th at in spite of state m ents to the contrary, Bonneville and the Grknd Coulee Dams would not be sufficient to meet the power dem ands of their areas in the next six years.
