John Day Project Bid Awarded PORTLAND (UPH Army En gincers Friday awarded a $70,496,- 8.12 contract for completion of John Day Dam on the Columbia River to a California firm. Engineers said it was the largest single civil works contract they naa ever awarded. It went to Vin nell, Mannix, McNamara Corp. and George A. Fuller Co., Alham bra, Calif. Maj. Gen. W. W. Lapsley, divi sion engineer, said it was the low est of five bids submitted to the Walla Walla district and opened July 25. The contract is for work on the south, or Oregon, shore. The main structure will be a powerhouse about 2.000 feet long with an ini tial plant capacity of 1.350,000 kilowatts of fiower based on 10 generating units, and an ultimate installation of 20 generating units with a plant capacity of 2,700,000 kilowatts. The work will be carried on within a 20-acre area behind the south shore cofferdam which will divert flow of the Columbia Riv er through the partially completed spillway bays. Final completion of the con tract is scheduled for September, 1968. Old School Established About 1871 BONANZA The present school of Bonanza is an attractive brick structure with appropriate land scaping, playgrounds and a foot ball field. There are 16 class rooms, a well-equipped science laboratory, a library, a projector room, ollicc space, cafeteria and two gymnasiums complele with lockers, showers and dressing rooms. The front hall is deco rated with beautiful paintings de picting the life of the commu nity, painted by Charles Steber, principal of the school. All this is in striking constrast to the first school of the town, a log structure built about 1871 and located on the east side of Lost River. C. H. Dyer was the teacher. Later a two-room school was built near the present home of Dewey Horn. Birdie Burk, 88-year- old Bonanza resident attended that school and recalls that there were 12 or 13 pupils. The teach er was Smith Orr (later Judge Orri. fcehool was held there until 1907 and Was called the Sage brush Academy. Bonanza, the oldest incorpo rated town in Klamath County, organized school district No. 2 about 1876. The county unit system for the elementary grades went into ef fect in 1922 and later included the secondary grades. ; Later the eight classroom brick structure was built and used un til 1940, when the new wing of the present structure was com pleted. High school classes date back to 1908. Buildings, equipment and trans portation are not the only things that have changed. Adminis tration has changed from the lo cal board to the county unit. Teacher certification depends upon college degrees, rather than an eighth grade graduation. The basket socials and spelling bees have been replaced by more so phisticated entertainment. Pupils no longer come to school on horse back, in buggies, or sleighs. They are transported by comfortable buses. However, one thing remains un changed, the community's inter est in its schools. Children come to Bonanza School from Sprague River, Lan gell Valley, Swan Lake, Hilde- brand and Dairy. By l.EROY POPE United Preu International NEW YORK (UPH It's fool- lish for big cities to keep buying fantastically expensive downtown real estate and putting only a school on it, in the opinion of a veteran school archilect. Michael Radoslovich. former chief architect of the New York Citv Board of Education, thinks it is equally foolish to build typically suburban low ranch tvpe school in a crowded urban area. It would be wiser to incorpor ate a school into a large skyscraper or an apartment building, he thinks. New York's schools. Rados lovich believes, are shabby, de pressing structures that are cost ing the city a mint of money Some are seriously undcr-occu pied because the inner-city popu-j lation was dwindled by the trend to the suburbs, he said. Wasteful Eyesores "Even those that are fully used are wasteful eyesores mat no longer are in tune with the life of the city. The little red school house suited its rural setting and its rural pupils. The anachronis tic Manhattan school suits neith er the modern city skyline nor modern city boys and girls." said Radoslovich. now a member of Emery Roth & Sons, designer of skyscrapers. Radoslovich said Chicago and one or two other of our largest cities have the same problem as1 New York in wasting money on expensive downtown schoolsites. New York and other very large cities must start putting the downtown schools in skyscrapers and large apartment house build-! inns. The school part of the build in? must have separate entrances and be designed from the start for school use. "Re-modelling parts of existing buildings for school use won't be practical." Radoslovich said. Radoslovich had the New York; school board on the verge of put ling a new business high school in the first six stories of a new 38-story skyscraper before he re ined from the chool system, butithing would be for the city to the city failed to land the site, sell this site and put up a new The present business high;school in a skyscraper nearby! school, sitting between two sky scrapers on East 42nd Street in Ihe Grand Central district is Ha doslovich's idea of the most hor rible example of waste of expen sive land in the country.

Itall commercial and residential Radoslovich said Ihe sensibleihuildings Unique Experiment Seeks Water Data SALEM lUPD That deep red color in the water below Dorena Dam this week won't be blood. The Oregon Water Resources Board will put a harmless red die in the Row River below the dam east of Collage Grove as a part of its water temperature and qual ity studies. Done! J. Lane, the board's ex ecutive secretary, said the Rhoda-mine-B dye will be placed in the river at 5 a.m. Tuesday. The site was selected for the test because the (low of water from the dam reservoir can be controlled by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. He said the controlled flow is neccssarv to provide Ihe best con ditions for checking theoretical data prepared hy engineers and scientists. The dye w ill be used as a tracer to identify a block of water as it travels downstream to the con fluence of tlie coast and middle forks of the Willamette. A research team will measure and record such details as water and air temperature time, width and depth of the si ream and qual ity of flow. Inflow from tributary streams will be gauged and irrigation di version rates estimated. Other teams will record details of the character of tlie bed and banks of the river, tree cover, and other features which may characterize each reach of the ing operation is planned in about a month. Lane said. After the data is analyzed it will be used to test the accuracy of temperature conditions heing made for tlie Umpqua River basin. Lane said there hasn't previous ly been such data gathered in the nation or anywhere else. "Without such data A is not pos sible to evaluate the accuracy of temperature forecasting methods used for rivers, Lane said.
