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.

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

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.
