One big generator is in place ready to go and a. second is being installed. Others have been contracted for. CBI does not install the power house equipment.

This is being done jointly by reclamation bureau crews and workmen from the VVestingliouse Company. Power from Grand Coulee will linger out. over the Bonneville-Grand Coulee grid as soon as power lines now in course of construction ators are in action, 18 major lines will be needed to curry its power into Oregon, Washington- and Idaho. Where to run the lines to get them into the dam is causing engineers sonic worry. Part of Mason City is to be convened into a great switching yard after CBI withdraws.

Already the man-made lake, now reaching back 133 miles from the dam, has reached its peak elevation for 1941 an elevation of 1.255 feet above seal level. This fills the lake to two-thirds of its ultimate storage capacity. No water will be permitted to go over the spillways until the bridgework is completed. The lake now contains 7,000,000 gallons for every man, woman and child in the United States. Artificial Lake Formation of the lake has taken place as rapidly as construction of the dam would permit.

This season the lake level rose 111 feet in about two-and-a-half months time. At present the lake surface is about 320 feet above the low water stage of the river on, the downstream side. The lake will be held at 1.255 feet until December, when it will be lowered 15 feet to permit necessary operations in the reservoir clearing work. Drum gates will then be closed and the water raised 33 feet to its full height of 1.273 feet. Captain Jack Hacey is First to Enlist Under De Gaulle Portland.

Thoy will' leave behind them a corps of electrical workers rushing work on the huge generators that eventually will send power to all parts of the Paciiic Northwest. But as far as the actual dam construction is concerned, the job is virtually over. At present concrete i8 being placed nn the 13 bridges across the spillway.
