STOCKS WALL STREET NEW YORK ( Oils and steels helped pull the stock mar ket higher Wednesday after a hesitant start. Gains ran to a point or two at the best, in late afternoon but here were numerous small losers throughout the list. Volume approximated 2.400,000 shares for the day. That com pares with 2,580,000 shares traded Tuesday in a lower market. HugeCanada Smelter To Be Fired Up KEMANO, B. C. (A Furnaces of the giant Aluminum Co. of Can ada smelter 50 miles from here will soon be fired by 420,000 elec trical horsepower which will flow from a great hydro-electric plant built in the bowels of Mount Du Bose. The story behind the power be gan three years ago when the company started to build a hydro set-up that would light and power a city the size of Vancouver. To do it, contractors hollowed out a mountain, made a river flow back wards and built a huge lake. The project was built at a cost of 38 lives 16 died In one plane crash. But Ole Strandberg, project manager for the contractors, con siders that figure low "when you think of the three-year job and tlie 6,000 men employed on it." The cost in money was 160 mil lion dollars double the original estimate. ' Now Karl Roestad, Norwegian born resident engineer here for i the Aluminum Co. of Canada, Is v almost ready to throw the switches r that will send power humming " over a twisting 80-mile transmis sion line to Kitimat. There it will be used to blast aluminum metal out of ore carried from the British ; West Indies. As many as 6,000 men worked on s the power project 400 miles north of Vanoouver. They built a 20 mil ' lion-dollar dam across the Necha ' ko River 150 miles east of here. Fart of the river became a 358-square-mlle reservoir. The other half was allowed to dry up. A 10-mile tunnel, 25 feet high and 11 feet wide, was punched through 7,000-foot mount DuBose. At the end of the tunnel near the western side of the mountain a huge cavern was scooped out for the power house 1.400 feet under , ground. 1; iThen the transmission line had ; to be built across mountains amidst continuous snow. More thnn one bulldozer and its operator slid over the 3,000-foot cliffs. The line rises from a low of 600 feet above sea level to 5,000-foot-high Kildala ( Pass. The tunnel from the reservoir to the powerhouse was driven with the help of 8 million pounds of explosives. Water moving through the tunnel will drive three turbines already installed. A fourth generator will be put in when needed and four more can be installed. Plans are ready for another 10-mile tunnel and more generators to double the present output If the aluminum market booms. Wood Products Tariff Raise Approved WASHINGTON i.n The House Rules Committee Wednesday cleared for House consideration legislation aimed at hiking the im port duty on hardboards. The bill, sponsored by Reps. Col mer (D-MIss), Scudder (R-Califi, and Utt (R-Calif), would reclassify hardboards, as wood projects rath er than as paper products as now. Import duty on wood products run up to 33 '.'2 per cent compared with 16 2-3 per cent on paper prod ucts, Colmer told a reporter.
