Idaho Power Co. would sell power
to cooperatives at preferential
rates Ilxed by the Power Commls
slon on the basts of cost estimates
for three dams proposed in the
Snake Elver. .
Mrs. Evelyn Cooper, represent
- Ing public power groups, asked the
question at a hearing on Idaho
Power's application to build dams
along the Idaho-Oregon border In'
eluding one in Hells Canyon where
a federal project had been pro-
posed,
E. A.' Woodhead. Idaho Power'
chief engineer, said he couldn't
answer. Hearing Examiner Wil

"you have the wrong witness
here," and said he thought Thomas

Deer Hunting
Reported Great
ASTORIA Ml Hunting In the
five-day-old deer season was re-
ported the best In years here by
hunters returning with choice, fat
deer.
Don Jossy, who operates a lock'
er company where deer are
brought for freezing, Raid that the
animals show signs of having had
an excellent feeding season during
inc pasi winter.
Roach, Idaho Power's president,
"would be a ' better witness on
rates."
Mrs. Cooper delved into Idaho
Power's changes In plans and cost
estimates as she cross-examined
Woodhead.
She brought out that Idaho Pow
er engineers had Investigated the
possibility of building two dams
Instead of three and that a five
dam plan also had been con
sidered. '.
' Woodhead said the two dam plan
was inierior from an economic
stand point.
Mrs. Cooper then turned to prot
ect cost estimates made in applica
tions filed with the Power Com
mission. She said Idaho Power
originally estimated the Oxbow
project would cost 21,621,000 but
later hiked the figure in an appli
cation amendment to 123,600,000.
She said that the cost of Idaho
Power's proposed Hells Canyon
Dam was estimated at 144,850.000
at one time and $45,100,000 another
time. I
Woodhead said he couldn't ex
plain the apparent discrepancy but
would study the matter.
Mrs. cooper asked w n e t n e r
Woodhead had made a cost esti
mate for the proposed federal Hells
Canyon Dam, which proponents
say would cost about 400 million
dollars. Idaho Power estimate Its
projects would cost 133 million
dollars.
Woodhead said he had not estl
mated the cost of the federal pro-
Dosal
The attorney men asxea wneuier
Woodhead, without making a com
parison, had satlsfiedtalmself that
the three-dam plan would be the
best for comprehensive develop
ment nf the river.
Woodhead repented tnai ne nao
not examined the Bureau of Rec
lamation's DroDOsal.
After ouestloning of Woodhead
by commission attorneys Monday
and Tuesday morning,
nf the federal project lotk over
TiiBKdav afternoon. They ham
mered away at his cost estimates
and designs. .,
Wnorihead Insisted that his esti
mate of 133 million for the three
dams was reasonable and that the
projects are engineering ieas
Ible, Mrs. Evelvn CooDer. attorney for
arouDs favoring the federal project
in hii nanvon. onened ner case
against Woodhead's estimates by
bringing up a report by John S
Cotton, consulting enginetr from
San Anselmo, Calif., who favors
the federal proposal. Cotton, wno
testified earlier In the hearing,
compared the federal ana utility
plans last year at the request oi
the Interior Department
Cotton s cost estimate tor power
generators and turbines lequlred
by Idaho power was aoout mil
lion dollars higher than Wood
head's. ,
Mrs. Cooper asked Wocahcad If
he had read the Cotton report ana
if he would compare his and Cot
ton s cost estimates.
Woodhead said hn

added:
"I wanted to present a icaltstlc
estimate for my company. I didn't
go to Mr. Cotton because J didn't
think I would get anything out ot
it (his report)."
On design, Mrs.' Cooper ques
tioned whether the propoM d Idaho
Power structures Rockfiil dams
with concrete facings would be
most suitable for the miuole sec
tion of the Snake. She said such
dams were subject to damage as a
result of settling of the structure

such a design.
He replied that settling would re
sult In some damage to all dams
out that the foundations In the
middle Snake would be suitable
for dams of the type he dcsHncd.
He added that he felt no unusual
seepage problems would be encountered.

No Serious
Fires Burning
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Small forest fires spotted around
Eastern Oregon continued to keep
suppression crews alert Wednes
day, but the regional Forest Serv
ice office in Portland said no Im
portant fires were burning.
A blaze reported Tuesday In
green timber five miles east of
Oakrldge was controlled after It
had covered six acres. A crew of
70 men was rushed to the fire,
thought started by railroad loco
motive sparks, when initial reports
indicated it mignt get away to a
head start.
Ouv Johnson, forest service fire
control officer In Portland, said
that lots of slashing fires are burn
ing In Western Oregon where the
woods are reasonably damp. The
big hazard, he said, comes from
the fact that so many men, be
cause of the deer season, are in
the woods. This Is especially true,
he said, In -Eastern Oregon where
most of the fires have been reported.
A dozen or more fires have been
laid to careless hunters.
