Grange Hears Idaho Power
Official On Hells Canyon
Stanley Church, public relations
representative lor the Idaho Pow
er Company, appealed to Klamath
County Pomona Grange membera
last weekend to study the facts
of the Hell's Canyon controversy
and to be prepared to fight for
the plan that will ultimately short
en the program lor distribution of
electric power.
Church, whose company advo
cates construction of three, low,
hydro-electric dams on the Snake I
River at the Hell's Canyon site,
ramer than the single high dam
as now proposed, answered the
private enterprise-government con
trol dispute by refuting statements
made last May by Al Ullman.
Democratic candidate for a U.S.
Congressional scat in the Novem
ber election. Ullman spoke on the
Hell's Canyon proposition before
members of the Pomona Grange.
Claiming that power production
is the primary asset of the Hell's
Canyon site. Church staled that
the Idaho Power Company's plan
would utilize the entire 602 feet
of river fall and would provide a
million acres of storage, lor all of
the water consistently available
after allowance has been made lor
future upstream Irrigation needs
and downstream navigation.
Ho conceded that the proposed
federal high dam would produce
at least 47,000 kilowatts more ilrm
power than the three lower dams
could, with a peak capacity of
900.800 kw but lie also contended
that the cost of the extra, produc
tion would be over 25 times great
er than the cost of his company's
firm power output.
Church emphasized that present
power needs demand that power
be made available as quickly as
possioie. He explained that the
Idaho Power Company could com
plete the three low dams and get
operation under way in 38 months
after being granted the necessary
license, in contrast to an estim
ated to years for construction of
the high dam.
"Thus." he snid, "the three low
dams could produce 40 billion kil
owatts of power, an amount equiv
alent to 10 Bonneville dams op
erating for one year, before Ihe
high clam could be completed.
Congress has twice rejected the
proposal for the high dam. Ap
proprintion of money for construc
tion costs may be delayed for
years. Church said.
Touching on the oilier assets ol
multi-purpose dams, the speaker
reminded the grangers that neith
er plan proposed claims to be an
irrigation reservoir, since all ir
rigable lands are upstream from
the dam sites, but If Irrigation
should be developed below, water
would not be available to fill the
proposed high dam reservoir and
still supply the 5000 cubic feet
per second downstream flow
which army engineers say Is
needed lor navigation.
Church stated thai 101 upstream
water users have publicly opposed
the high dam proposal. 1
He claimed also that due to the
lesser fluctuation of water levels
the three-dam project is much su
perior to the high dam from the
recreation standpoint. If the three,
dam plan Is allowed, the Idaho
Power Company Is prepared In
road construction, two additional

crossings on tile dam crests and
the maintenance of public recrea
tion areas, a plan of public cooper
aticn followed at other dam sites.
Conceriirr flood control Church
reported that the Upper Snake
River is already 55 per cent con
trolled by irrigation dams, and
will be 80 per cent controlled
when two dams now under con
struction are completed.
A report from the U.S. Depart-
mant of the Interior indicated that
either the high dam or the lower
dams would have reduced the
1948 Vanport flood crest by only
seven tenths of a foot.
Because of the high cost of con
struction of the dam proposed by
the federal government which Is
estimated by the power company
to be about four times the total
cost of the three low dams, the
government could not possibly
produce power as cheaply as the
Idaho Power Company's 4.4 mill
per kilowatt hour, estimated base
cost rate.
The federal government Church
said, would pay no taxes on the
federal property where the power
company would pay county, state
and federal taxes totaling $10,
000,000 annually on the three dams
in addition to the taxes paid by
the power consumers.
Church refuted a statement
made by Ullman concerning the
"Electric Furnace" production of
low co." nnospliale fertilizer from
cneap acii s canyon power. Ull
man in a Public statement Raid
that fertilizer operations would
need power at a cost of not more
than three mills.
In rebuttal Church said."thcre
can be no such thing as power
that cheap either at the dam and
certainly not at the phosphate
beds which arc farther from Hell's
Cfnvnn t'-m Portland or s.?atK"

Your perfect servant
Aladdin never had it so good. Of course he could rub the mystic lamp and summon
a jinni to build him a palace overnight, comQlete with fans and dancing girls, but the
old spectre wasn't the most dependable sort. The little oriental shack had an
unpleasant way of vanishing at the most awkward moments.
Today, the head of the house has it all over the Arabian Nights. His powerful
servant electricity is wired into the home and is always dependable. Day or night, he
can push a button and get instant service, from air conditioning to entertainment
...a way of life that Aladdin couldn't even have imagined.
COPCO brings you electricity ... the perfect servant ... dependable, convenient
and inexpensive. And its amazing power promises an even better life in the future.
