Honoring the Corps of Engineers of
the U. 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.

FRIDAY, JAN l'A BY 21, 1038
Ross Confers
With F. D. R.
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.
