Bureau report, which was studied in connec-
ton with prior reports, also shows:
Provision for power in the original Pick
Sloan Plan, as approved by Congress, was for
II power plants with annual production of 3.8
billion XIV hrs per year. This has been
boosted to Al plants with annual production
of 11.5 billion XIV hrs. All these are now COM
pleted, under construction or authorized. Nine
of these plants are in Montana.
The Bureau of Recamation's last report
on power shows that 295 additional dams and
power sites have been examined. Of these
lat have been selected and listed as potential
power. Authorization for these will presum-
ably be requested. These will produce 9.3
billion XIV hrs of additional power. Twenty
five of these plants will be in Montana.
Of this new list of potential power plants
ia will be in the upper, 27 in the central and
6 in the lower segment of Missouri Valley.
Based on forecast of probable power de-
mand in 1870 the projected development will
satisfy all requirements in the upper segment,
not quite supply the need in the central seq
ment and leave an acute shortage in the lower
segment of the Valley. Total shortage by
1870 is estimated as 25.4 billion XIV hr per
year.
There will remain considerable volume
of undeveloped hydroelectric power along the
eastern slope of Rocky Mountains in upper
part of Missouri Valley This will be too far

from the area of acute shortage to justify
transmission. Undeveloped hydro electric
power in the lower part of the valley will con-
sist largely of the 1912 billion XIV hrs that can
be produced at the II dams which have been
spotted along the lower river.
Since these dams would interfere with the
present Corps of Engineers plan for a free
flowing navigation channel, Bureau of Rec
lamation report proposes that coming power
shortages can be made up by importations of
power from other regions and by installation
of thermal-electric or fuel burning plants.
Based on present fuel costs, the showing is
that production cost of such power will av-
trasted with the 2 II mills per XIV hr which pri-
vate power companies are now paying the Bur-
eau for publicly-owned hydro-electric power
Engineer Locke's report points out that
Importation of power will also require long
transmission lines and heavy line losses. For
reasons heretofore given it takes issue with
the proposal for thermal-electric plants and
advocates construction of the II low dams
the lower river. In conclusion the report
says:
"In the above change lies, | think much
better solution of the power shortage than
construction of sufficient plant capacity to
produce 25.4 billion XIV hrs of thermal-electric
energy. This change will also solve most of
the large scale engineering problems in the
whole Missouri Valley development program"

From engineering standpoint U. S. Bur
eau of Reclamation has now pointed the way
for complete and efficient development of
Missouri Valley, according to COL Jerome G.
Locke, Regional MVA Engineer. This import
ant Federal Bureau, primarily concerned
with irrigation and power development, has
not openly advocated the kind of develop
ment for which MVA advocates have long
camored but it has shown, without comment,
how this result be accomplished
This is the high light of an engineering re-
port recently completed by Engineer Locke.
His report is a study and digest of Reclama-
ton Bureau report entitled POWER which was
released to the public last November. This
Federal report on Power has spotted II dams
and power plants along the Missouri River
from Yankton, South Dakota to mouth of Os-
age River in central Missouri.
These are low dams designed to create an
average static head of 40 feet each. They
will take 675 feet of grade, or fall, out of the
river channel for distance of 720 river miles
and thus create a continuous series of shall
low lakes. These lakes will cover the entire

valley development. The dams will also pro-
