PASSES JOHNSON BILL AUTH
ORIZING MANY WESTERN
PROJECTS

Washington, May 27.-The SEN
ate today passed the Johnson bill.
designed to legalize more than a
score of western power projects
Jeopardized by recent supreme
court decision.
The legislation, described by Sen
ator Hiram w. Johnson, r., Cal.
as an emergency measure, applied
particularly to the Parker Dam in
Arizona and the Grand Coulee pro-
Ject in Washington.
The bill now goes to the house.
lt was amended before passage to
include authorization for construc-
ton OF a dam and supplementary
works at Head Gate rocks, Arizona
johnson explained the bill dur
ing brief debate as necessary to per
nit work to go ahead after the SUI
preme court decision in the case of
the United States versus Arizona,
involving the Parker dam.

10000 COULD
Be GIVEN JOBS
That Many Men Might Be Used
In Canal and Dam Under
Stress Program

Grand Coulee Dam, May 25.-
App oAIma,ely 20,UuU men will be
put 10 wo4k on The Grand Coulee
the government should decide that
80, OO0Nv0 of the four billion ool
lar relief appropriation must be
spent in about years time.
Although mum the word and
don't quote me- is the rule, it is
evident that those whom this one
year rule effects have had some ser
lous thought on the subject and
have come to preliminary prem
Use that about 10000 workmen
could be engaged.
1t is quite obvious that all of the
$40, 100000 could not be spent on
the dam itself, no matter how fast
work could speeded or no matter
how big and elaborate the machin-
cry that could be brought in. 1t is
true that If the present company
was given to understand that if it
would build the high dam that the
dam would be finished about two
years earlier than contemplated
now and the payroll brought up to
5000 but the entire sum could not
be used on the dam ITSELF
In order to use all of the appro-
priation or at least as large part
of it as possible, work would have
to be started on the canal system
Tor the elaborate irrigation project
planned. A mammoth engineering
force would start to survey all of
the land and the contract for the
construction of the canals l ct in
sections so that more men could be
used. Instead of concentrating the
construction of the canals let in
point, by dividing it huge totals of
men could be put to work all down
the line.
1t is believed that both earth fill
ed dams in the Grand Coulee which
would make the giant gulch a ma
tural reservoir could be construct
ed in a years time. The upper dam,
near Grand Coulee, would cost a.
bout $1,OO0,O00 and the lower dam
near Coulee City, would cost about
$7,OOO,OO0 to $4,000, 900, 1t is pre-
dicted.
With work advanced that far at
the end Of the year allowed for the
expenditure, congress could do moth
ing else but appropriate the money
for the completion Of the project,
those in the know explain.
