Within 200 miles are, in addition to the beautiful canyons mentioned above, the Joshua Tree National forest, the Painted Desert, Petrified Forests, the Mad Valley of Fire, Eldorado canyon, and many other sights, including many Indian settlements. Nature in remarkable mood exists up and down as well as across. You can descend to 360 feet below sea level in Death Valley and, if you are agile enough, you can get up 12,500 feet on San Francisco peak. The government is stocking Lake Mead with bass, and although the fishing is not yet quite up to par there will be all you can take care of in another two years. Bridle paths are being laid out and within a short time there will also be plenfacilities nearby. ty of dude-rancThe building of tennis courts as well as desert gardens is included in the plans.

Bonneville dam rises in some of the ruggedly beautiful country of the Northwest. The wild Columbia has cut a chasm s of a mile deep through the mountains. Bradford island causes the river to spit into two rapid streams, roaring, whirling and throwing spray. From the island to the Oregon shore is the power station, and from the Washington shore to the island is the spillway. The power house and spillway are connected by an earthen dam which runs across the island and is 170 feet high. The entire chain, which is 3,850 feet long, will create a lake 65 miles long, upon which steamers will one day travel into the Cascade mountain region. two-third- Cost Is $45,000,000. Bonneville dam will jjiave cost $45,000,000 by the time "it is completed. With Grand Coulee dam it forms the first serious attempt to harness the Columbia, which river network is the second largest in the country. The river basin, which extends into the states of Idaho, Washington, Montana, Oregon, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming, is said to be five times as large as England. It has never been possible before to navigate the Culumbia more than a short distance inland, but Bonneville dam will attempt to change all that. In the dam is the world's highest navigation lock a lift of 72 feet. On the Panama canal it requires three great locks to lift a ship only a little higher at Gatun lake. Bonneville itself is 42 miles east of Portland, but it is hoped that the locks will enable steamers to go 200 miles inland along the river. The town of Bonneville has sprung up near the dam to house most of the workers on PWA project number 2(5. It is composed chiefly of tarpaper shacks such as the traveler might have seen in the earlier days of the West when the railroads were being built. It is not likely that the living quarters ol me consirucuun wuin.built be to substantially needed ers enough to last a long time, for this is one federal project which is going ahead as it was planned. There have been no delays for political reasons or for lacks of funds; only these caused by the river in some of its unsociable moods.
