Waterfall To Be
Viewed By Many

Grand Coulee Dams monster wat
erfall, scheduled to come into being
early this summer, will reach siza-
BILE volume within few minutes af-
ter the first water begins to glide
over the spillway, the Bureau of Rec
lamation said
Those present at the birth of
the giant cataract thousands are
expected to attend. will one instant
see a vast expanse of dry concrete,
interrupted only by the flow from
the outlet tubes, and a few minutes
later see thick blanket of blue.
green water plunging over the steep
incline.
The flow through some of the out
let tubes, now carrying the Columbia
River through the dam, will be di-
verted to the spillway in a single
maneuver. AS one group of Bureau
engineers, close these passages, an
other will sim ultanecusly lower the
drum gates in the crest of the spill
way specified distance to cause a
volume equivalent to that barred
from the outlets to hurtle itself over
the top.
This sudden change will result in
the spillway bucket at the toe of the
dam being given heavy uniform
flushing, which is desirable as a
means of removing objects that may
have fallen into the trough during
the years of construction. These, if
present, may be scraping or other
wise damaging the concrete.
The Bureau expects to announce
in advance the exact day and hour
when the spectacular event will oc-
cur. Newsreel camerman, newspaper
photographers and reporters, and
officials of national radio network
have announced their attention of
being on hand to record the unique
happening.
The overflow will be of gigantic
proportions, third of mile wide
and as high as. a 80 to So story
building. Compared at average flood
peak, only one waterfall having
height of Grand Coulee will equal or
surpass its volume.
Grand Coulees waterfall will be
twice as high as Niagara and will
carry a third as much water at the
average flood peak of both streams
it will carry four times as much
water as the famous Victoria Falls
in South Africa, whose height is a.
bout the same as the Columbia Riv-
er plunge.
The quantity of water that will
plunge over the spillway each second
will be sufficient to furnish all the
people of Seattle or Portland with
about five gallons of water, the peo-
pc of Tacoma or Spokane with IA
gallons, or those of Everett, Salem,
or Bellingham, or Yakima with so
gallons.
The amount that will pass over
the concrete precipice in four Sec
onds will have a greater cubic con-
tent than all the residents of Seattle
or Portland. A single seconds down
pour will take up more space than
all the people living in Spokane or
Tacoma.
