recommendation for some CO.
originating agency, but limited in
scope as to matters of national in
terets, were given the Pacific North
west Planning Commission, headed
by Chairman Marshall N. Dana oil
Portland. at special conference in
Spokane Saturday.
The conference was attended by
about 100 representatives from Spo
kane and from cities and towns in
Eastern Washington and northern
Idaho, who were asked by the COM
mission to present their views as to
how the Columbia River projects
should be administeredand coordin-
ated.
Theodore A. Walter, Cardwell,
Idaho, first assistant secretary of
the Department of Interior and F..
A. Banks, construction engineer
for the Reclamation Service on the
project, also attended the confer
ence.
Secretary Walter Informed the
gathering that President Roosevelt
has discussed with his cabinet the
creation of a Columbia River auth
GRITTY.
There was unanity of opinion
that the Bureau of Reclamation
with it's many years of experience,
its exceptional background for the
intelligent direction of it's oper-
ations and it's demonstrated init
mate knowledge of reclamation.
should continue the construction
of the Grand Coulee Columbia Bas
in Reclamation and continue its adj
ministratfon after completion.
Mr.. Banks expressing his opin-
ion only and not that of the Recla-
nation Service said, Bonneville
Dam on the lower river is associat-
ed with navigation and very logi-
cally is in charge of the Army En-
gineer; the Grand Coulee project
is an irrigation development with a
side issue of power development
that is under the jurisdiction of
the Reclamation Service. 1t strikes
me that management of these enter
PRIZES will remain in the immed-
late future under those branches of
government to which they are now
committed.
Sentiment favored a federal CO.
ordinating agency for the two pro-
jects when power is ready for de-
livery.

AWARDS WORLDS LAR
GEST Cement CONTRACT

Award worlds largest cement con.
Grand Coulee Dam famous
throughout the construction and
engineering world for its size and
the gigantic scope of it's operations
has achieved another record in the
awarding of the cement contract by
the United States Reclamation Ser
vice.
The contract calling for 4,220.-
900 barrels of modified Portland
cement with heavy mixture of
iron ore and smaller aluminium
content, is the largest cement
award in the history of the country
and is for use in the construction
OF the foundation of the Grand
Coulee Dam only.
Contracts were awarded to five
Pacific Northwest Portland Cement
Mills with one million barrels going
to the plants in eastern Washing
ton the Lehigh Portland Company
and the Spokane Portland Cement
Company the former receiving an
order or 100000 barrels and the
Sponane company 100000 barrels.
This business means that the
two eastern Washington plants will
be compelled to work to full capac-
ity in order to take care of their
regular trade, as well as provide
cement on the Coulee Dam con-
tract, with SUBSTANTIAL additions to
payrolls both in the mills and fnthe
quarries.
1 is estimated to transport
cement from Eastern Washington
plants alone will require $500 frei-
ght cars of ESQ barrels each and
that approximately $4,000 tons of
coal will be used.

GRAND COQLEE POWER
RECLAMATION PROJECT

Inc following article on the
Grand Coulee Power and Rec. pro
Grand Coulee Power and Reclamat
ion Project as one of six on public
works projects written for this
newspaper, By e. F. Banker, State
Director Of Conservation and Deve
opment.
The Grand Coulee or Columbia
Basin power and reclamation pro
ject is the first attempt ever made
to use the waters of the second
largest river in the United States
for irrigation on a large scale;
1t has been studied for a quarter
of a century and has long been rec.
ognized as one of the most ambit.
ious and gigantic undertakings
ever attempted in the history of tn
world. In magnitude it is COM
parable to the Panama Canal, the
Srez Canal. the Asseuan Dam on
the Nile and such ancient achieve
ments as the Great Wpll of China
and the great military highways OF
the Roman Empire.
The Dam, when fully completed
will hold in check and control the
largest river ever harnessed by
1t is certain to have a far reaching
and beneficial effect upon the en-
tire Northwest region. 1t is being
referred to as the eighth wonder of
the world and certainly when COM
pleted it will present most mag
nificient spectacle five million acre
feet of water being held in subjec-
ton by the most massive concrete
structure ever built.
The dissipation of energy devel-
oped by the water is one of the
most perplexing engineering prob
lens connected with the work.
Then when we contemplate L.
ESQ, 900. acres of desert land trans
formed into a highly productive
region we begin to get some idea
of the contemplated development
To illustrate what this means, the
total acreage under irrigation II
the State of Washington is approx
imately 594,865 acres. The value
of farm products of the Yakima
valley alone totals $40,000,000 pei
annum.
The Grand Coulee reservoir will
irrigate twice the total acreage
now under irrigation in this STATE
and will provide cheap power t.
pump water upon thousands of &C
res of additional lands along thu
Columbia and Okanogan Rivers.
1t contemplates a long period o
development. 1t will double the
population of the State of-Washing
ton and will cause a corresponding
industrial development. The cult
walton of these lands will create {
market for millions of feet of tim
Der, for an enormous amount o
building material, hardware. iron
steel, copper, paint and oil, farm
machinery, manufactured articles
and every conceivable kind of mere
handise necessary to the growth o
the new and virgin territory.
Much of the power developed
will be used locally on these lands
Even so, a study should be mad

GRADE SCHOOL
 PRINCIPAL FOR CITY SELECTED
School Board Only Faced with Two More Teach
 ing Appointments

Leaving only two more appoint ments to be made before the staff for next year is completed, two new instructors were named to the Juneau public school system at a meeting of the School Board last night
 A grade school principal and a combination first and second grade teacher were selected. Those choices leave but two other positions to be filled: the high school athletic coach and science instructor, and the possible appointment of new vocational subjects teacher.
 Floyd T. Dryden, at present prin- cipal of the Junior High School at Clarkston. Wash, was named to succeed Miss Marietta Shaw as principal of the grade school. Dry den is a graduate of the Lewiston, Ida, Normal School and of the University of Washington. He ob- tained a Bachelor of Arts degree in education from the latter insti- tuition.
 Is Legion Member
 He has taught for nine years at his present location, but has total teaching experience of IA years. He Served in the United States Army during the World War and is a member of the American Legion. He had 52 teachers under his supervision at Clarkston this year.
 Miss Shaw, it was announced, will continue as grade school instructor next year.
 The final grade school appoint ment was the selection of Miss Eleanor R.. Carr as instructor of a combination first and second grade class. Miss Carr will not replace anyone, but will come to Juneau as an additional Grade School instructor to alleviate crowded classrooms in the lower grades.
 Miss Carr Coming
 Miss Carr has been graduated from the State Teachers College at Valley City, N. D., and also from the University of North Dakota with a Bachelor of Science degree. She has had nine years of teach ing experience, and, last year, taught the second grade at Coop erstown, N D.
 A man to succeed Harold E. Regele, who resigned this spring as high school athletic coa ch h and science instructor now is the major problem before the School Board. Last night Board members sifted the many applicants for the posi- tion down to two persons, but they will consider this pair for a week before making a final decision.
 The other teaching position, that of an extra vocational instructor in the High School, will not be chosen until after July l. A. B. Phillips, Superintendent of Schools, explained last night that Board members are awaiting to see if the Smith, Hughes act, which provides Federal aid to schools who give certain vocational subjects, is made applicable to Alaska.
 Contract Accepted
 Other business before the School Board last night included the con- sideration of bids for two proposed Improvements to school buildings. One, a contract for sanding the High School gymnasium floor, was awarded to M J. Musser. Work on this project will start immed- lately The other, a contract for painting sash work, was abandoned as the Board rejected all bids.
