“THE PAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS."
—George Putnam.
More Power For Us
North Santiam canyon gets an electric outlet. President Truman re­
cently signed into law funds for the construction of a Bonneville substation
located in Lyons. W ithout this substation the canyon would be very much
like a house all wired, with the single exception—no outlets for appliances.
Industrialist and farmer alike hails the arrival of the substation as a
green light on balanced development of the canyon. Once Detroit dam rises
to that stage of completion where travel over it becomes a daily occurrence,
then new areas of logging will be opened up. The increased pace of logging
will be met head-on and handled by the new Bonneville power source at
Lyons. This fact alone means more gainfuly employed men and women.
Now that power in good supply will soon pour into this area, civic
bodies can turn their energy towards wooing new industries which naturally
seek out favorable sites for plants. Low-cost power looms big in any
manufacturer’s budget and not much arm twisting is necessary once such
power is assured.

Farmers can soon freely install heavier irrigation pump motors and
add more electrically driven equipment on their farms. Life will be less
burdensome when dependable low-cost power is available at the flick of a
switch in the farm home, barn or out-building. Chicken houses and farm
buildings soon can be brilliantly lighted and heated through the use of clean
and efficient electricity. Losses of tiny livestock in harsh winter weather
can be held thereby to a minimum. Farmers can operate farm-size feed
grinders and mix their own stock feed.
A dignified mining industry can develop in the canyon with the arrival
of surging low-cost power. Electric power makes possible and simplifies
the proceasing in this area of ore found in the Elkhorn and Rock Creek
country. Mining operations have been conducted on a very limited scale
because of the excessively high cost of such operations in the past.
Many solid and prominent citizens carried through their desire for a
Bonneville substation in Lyons. The Lyons substation, to many of these
citizens, means opportunity and a "new lease on life" for the North Santiam
canyon, This power outlet is the first step in weaning the young economy
of this area away from the apron strings of “mother” forest products,
Ixigging alone, at present, is a defective balance wheel which might fall
apart again as it has in the past.
Often it is said that progress comes only by sheer sacrifice upon the
part of many individuals. That may be the way of things today, and
certainly it has been so regarding the struggle for the Santiam Valley sub­
station at Lyons, but it need not he so in the future. God provides the
wonderful flow of water which tumbles restlessly towards the Pacific Ocean.
The citizens of these great United States, through their duly constituted
government, are creating the means whereby this vast hydro force can be
harnessed for the general welfare of the entire nation.

There is not one* sound reason why these citizens should not enjoy also
this magnificent natural resource in the fullest measure, The Lyons power
outlet is the golden opportunity for this community, We have little doubt
regarding the decisions citizens will make regarding use of the substation
once they are made fully aware of the facts.
Editorially we commented several weeks ago that unless our canyon had
a Bonneville power outlet, power generated by Detroit and Big Cliff gener­
ators most certainly would be used elsewhere. With a deep sigh, we now
know this cruel state of things will not come about. We too. can have a
slice of thia strong, steady and dependable current.
The situation for the future is now one where the North Santiam river
will work for those in this area who have long enjoyed its beauty and spirit.
The fine part about this future picture is that the beauty and strength of the
stream will not be diminished, but rather enhanced by the appreciation of
it by more and more newcomers. Our thanks hounds out in all directions
Io Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon for his able assistance in getting the
Santiam Valley substation at Lyons for us.
