Service Mews W
By Rep. D.E. (Denny) Jones
On Monday, January 29, we
were
invited to go on a trip
down to the mouth of the Co
lumbia River and view the com
mercial salmon fishing indus
try, and also, on the way, to
view the huge atomic energy
Trojan plant at Rainier, Wa
shington.
We went out to the National
Guard Airport and loaded into
three helicopters and took off.
It was a real nice flight--my
first helicopter ride, in fact.
These were large helicopters
holding about 12 peopJe.
Our first stop was the Tro
jan plant at Rainier, which is
an immense thing. It is almost
too large to even realise what
the effort is there to com
plete it. The cooling tower is
499 feet high, 370 feet in dia
meter at the base, containing
35,000 cubic yards of concrete.
The reactor plant itself is huge,
and it cost almost $300 mil
lion. This facility will produce
about twice the amount of elec
tric energy that is produced
at Bonneville Dam. Something
that I didn’t realize is that after
cooling the water, part of it will
be reused. It is necessary, I
understand, to dump some back
I feel.
1 was also fortunate
in getting to talk to one of the
Fish Commission men, and 1 got
some valuable information from
him as far as the amount of
available fish is concerned. All
in all it was a worthwhile trip.
1 understand the Governor’s
Staff introduced an amendment
to the school finance plan Mon
day morning. We don’t have a
copy of it yet, but 1 am sure
we will shortly. This changes
the business tax from 3$ to

tax from 4‘t to lfFi instead of
as it was before.
6? and
It changes the minimum amount
of property tax from $7.50 to
$8.50,51,000. also it raises the
exemption of the amount that the
taxes apply to from $5,000 to
$15,000, also it raises the rate
over $60,000. I will get these
amendments to the bill up into
your country as soon as I can.

into the river, and this will
be cooled until it won’t be any
more than eight to nine degrees
hotter than the present tem
perature of the river.
1 understand that
a pro
posed new plant, if the site is
purchased, at Cape Kiwanda,
will not have the tall cooling
tower. They will dump the wa
ter into the ocean for cooling,
and it won’t be recycled as it
is at the Trojan plant--it will
use new water all the time.
We then loaded back into the
helicopters and took off for the
Columbia River where we were
loaded on some fishing boats
and took out into the Columbia
River and shown the commer
cial fishing industry. They put
out a net, and we sat there and
drifted for about an hour. They
then pulled the net in, but we
didn’t catch any fish so 1 didn’t
get to view the salmon coming
bouncing in on the net. It was
real interesting and real educa
tional and, I think, worthwhile
because we are going to be
faced with making up our minds
on environmental bills that af
fect our natural resources, and
commercial fishing, al course,
is a real necessary industry,
