(CP)-- Everything is big about Bersimis, the power development which the Hydro-Electric Commission of Que- bec is building 200 miles northeast of Quebec City. It ranks among the world's big- gest developments in output, has few rivals in sheer drama of con- cept, and perhaps is supreme in the combination of wilderness it will open up and populate areas to which it will bring added ser- vice. In its present phase it will have 1,200,000 horsepower capacity and a second development may raise it to 1,800,000 horsepower. Southward the power will cross the St. Lawrence river by 32-mile under-water cable and continue 140 miles by transmission lines into the Gaspe peninsula to powér 'a huge copper development at Mur- dochville and new and old enter- prises throughout the peninsula. To the west it will directly, or indirectly through release of, other power supplies, send electric en- *surge along the hungry lines into Quebec and Montreal To examine this new develop- ment let us start at Lake Casse, some 90 miles inland from the lower St. Lawrence river. Into Lake Casse from the north- west flow the waters of Lake Pip- moucan and a farther large drain- age basin. Out of Lake Casse at its south- ern end flow two rivers, the Ber- simis which drops some 1,200 fet in 80 winding miles to the St. Lawr- ence and the nearby Desroches river, a short waterway' which soon joins the Bersimis. HUGE RESERVOIR Imagine for the moment that we are Hydro-Quebec--the name sby which the Hydro-Electric Commis- sion is generally known--and the big contracting firms which it has brought in. This is what we do (and already we have done the greater part of it): We build two dams to hold back 'Lake Casse's waters as they enter the Bersimis and Desroches rivers. Thus we create a 290-square-mile reservoir holding 385,000,000,000 cu- bic feet of water. ergy into vast new areas such as Chibougamau and a fresh down.

At the bottom of this tunnel we run off at right angles eight smaller tunnels, ranging up tp 1,100 feet in length, which we call penstocks, and these lead into a powerhouse in which we install eight turbine generators of 150,000 horsepower capacity each. Then we let Lake Casse's waters into the tunnel to propel 'the gen. erators which yield our power. COSTLY PROJECT This is simple enough in prin- ciple, but, together with transmis- sion lines it is costing $225,000,000 to do it, and absorbng the work of up to 5,000 people over a period of three years--1953 to 1956, Let us go back to Lake Casse and the dams we built, These dams are of earth and rock: The one across the Bersimis is 2,210 feet long, 900 feet wide at the base, 40 feet wide at the crest and 200 feet high; and that across the Desroches is 1,035 feet long, ler fie fh JE J fe cae Jr Sel rt This is the inside of the giant Dower house Hydro - Quebec is uilding inside a mountain near Labrievillel, - Que. The wer house is 565 feet long, feet wide and 80 feet high. When 825 feet wide at its base, and 200 fet high. We pour into these two dams 5,- 000,000 cubic yards of fill, enough to build a four-lane highway 22 feet wide and seven inches thick from Montreal to Toronto, with some left over. Betwen the two dams a knoh of mountain is cut away to form a 1,000-foot spillway, to. let out ex- cess water.

Into this and other tunnels and into the powerhouse we are putting 407,000 cubic yards of ccncrete, rep- resenting 2,240,000 bags of cement --enough to build a sidewalk three feet wide and one foot thick for 1,400 miles, or from Montreal to Winnipeg. For greater speed we build the long tunnel in three, sections simul- taneously, and to reach the work- ings we drive in three other tun- nels, each 32 feet by 26 feet, with varying lengths--2,366 feet, 2,206 feet and 1,360 feet. 3 The powerhouse at the end of our tunnel also inside the mountain is 565 feet long, 65 feet wide and 80 feet high, and we get in and out of it through another tunnel, 250 feet long. IG WATER VOLUME From the powerhouse we build a talirace, incluling a 760-feet tun- nel 70 feet high and 48 feet wide, to return the used water to the Bersimis river. Later we may use the generators are installed it will turn out 1,200,000 horse- power using water drawn through a 7%-mile tunnel lead- ing from Lake Casse. \ (CP Photo the water again 20 miles further down after it has dropped another 350 feet in the river's natural course.

We have become miners as well as construction and power men. Let us return again to Lake Casse. We are backing up a lot of water and if we don't look out we shall send water overflowing into another watershed leading west- ward to the Saguenay river. Se, some 60 miles back from our Lake Casse dams we build two more dams. These will kepe the water shepherded southward, but if the Saguenay basin should need more d new town of near our powerhouse.
