WESTERN DAM PROJECTS BOLD, EXPERT SAYS “ It is believed that the new treaty now being discussed by the state department and the Dominion gov ernment concerning development of the St. Lawrence river will meet ob jections advanced by the Ontario government,” said Dr. James C. Bonbright, vice chairman of the power authority of the state of New York, when questioned Monday about status of the negotiations. The first treaty failed to pass the senate in 1932. Dr. Bonbright is on a week’s tour of Northwest power projects, which took him to Bonneville dam Monday and will take him to Grand Coulee and Seattle’s municipal develop ment on the Skagit river. Duties of the New York power authority, as created by the legislature when President Roosevelt was governor of the state, are to develop power in the international reaches of the St. Lawrence in behalf of the people of New York. In addition to his New York Power authority duties, Dr. Bonbright is vice chairman of the World Power conference and is professor of fi nance at Columbia university, spe cializing in corporation finance and public utilities regulation. He is be ing accompanied on his tour by Mrs. Bonbright, Bonneville Administrator J. D. Ross and U. J. Gendron, exec utive assistant of the Bonneville pro ject. “ The Canadian attitude toward de velopment of the St. Lawrence has changed materially since the first treaty was proposed,” he said. “ At that time there was a threatened shortage of power in Ontario, but now there is a surplus. Premier Hep burn has been particularly vocal in his opposition to the development program, but now it is believed that the new treaty will meet the objec tions which the Ontario government has had, particularly so by relieving Canada o f the necessity of buying and taking large quantities of power as soon as the project is completed. It will take at least seven years to complete the project. “ In the East the big question is what can be done with Bonneville and Grand Coulee power. I hope to go into this in great detail with Mr. Ross because it will have a decided bearing on the St. Lawrence project. These projects are more bold and daring than the St. Lawrence project because of the tremendous market for power in New York. The num ber of dams in the St. Lawrence project hasn’ t been decided yet, Canada favoring two and the United States army engineers one,” he added.

Patriotic Etiquette With Independence Day coming next week, one local patriotic citizen recently called attention to the prop- , er method of displaying the Ameri- I can Flag, the Flag Salute, and the salute to the National Anthem. In order to clarify these points, the fol lowing accounts are herewith pub lished : Code of the Flag The Flag should be displayed only from sunrise to sunset, or j between such hours as may be des ignated by proper authority. It should be hoisted briskly, but should be lowered slowly and cer emoniously. The Flag should be displayed on all National and State holidays and on historic and spe cial occasions. However, being the emblem of our country, it ought to fly from every flagpole every day throughout the year, weather permitting. Parts of Old Dalles-Sandy Road Still Seen formed on the Columbia river. It is Cascade Locks, only a few miles up the river. This project was first authorized by congressional act Aug ust 14, 1876. It was completed and dedicated in 1896. Even in recent years, when but few freight-carrying river craft have plied the Columbia, it has been used to pass a huge footage of logs, piling and other tonnage. When the S. S. Charles L. Wheeler, heading the marine parade of July 9 in celebration of opening the ship lock of Bonneville and the new seaway, passes by the old Cascade Locks, passengers will see merely the sidewalls, an exam ple of the fine type o f masonry once employed by the United States En gineers in such projects. Some 10 miles east of Cascade Locks is a n o t h e r transportation tomb, one of the land. High on the sides of Shell Rock mountain may be seen portions of the old grade of The Dalles and Sandy wagon road, a project prosecuted in the 1870’s by state appropriations. This grade, confined by dry masonry walls, may be seen on July 9 by the CBS com mentator, who describes the mid- Columbia from the air. The high way became decadent even before completion. The rail line along the south bank of the Columbia was pushed through, utilizing some of the grade of the wagon road. A highway along the banks of the Col umbia was merely dreamed of until 1912. It is now but the tomb o f a road, digger squirrels and porcupines making their homes in its walls. From masonry crevices, too, spring Oregon grape and wild currant bush es, where their roots find nourish ment in leaf mold, and the blooms from them might seem as if nature is decking this tomb in remembrance of man’s intention to accomplish something worth while. COLUMBIA WORK SET FOR AUG. The two-year job of improving the Columbia river channel from Van couver to Bonneville to provide for ocean-going vessels will get under way in August as the result of al lotment of $630,800 for the project, it was revealed here yesterday at the North Pacific division office of the army engineers. Formal notice of the allotment has not been received by the local office, but telegraphic confirmation has been received. is $2,650,000. Work the first year will be carried out at the Bonneville end of the channel and will consist of dredging and driving spur dikes for the 300- foot channel with 27-foot depth. The work will be carried on during the low-water period from August to March or April. Excavated materials will be available to the Oregon state highway commission for the water- grade highway fills if so desired, providing there is no additional cost to the federal government, it was I explained.

Formal notice of a l l o t m e n t of $612,000 for B o n n e v i l l e also has not been received, although announced at Washington. This money is for fishways, canal bridge, flowage and other incidentals that have not been completed, the engin eers explained. Hood River, Ore.
