Bi--itWi Dam Bonneville Dam, one of a series of such projects, was begun soon after approval was granted in September, 1933, and was completed in 1837. Located on the Columbia river, 42 miles east of Portland, Ore., Bonneville really consists of two dams separated by Bradford Island and was built primarily to produce electricity and render the Columbia navigable for 600 miles, as well as to provide a fishway system designed to permit the salmon runs to ascend the stream to their spawning grounds. The dam and fishways cost approximately $52,000,000 while the cost of the navigation and power development amounted to approximately $75,000,000 when completed.

Green vege- \ tables lose much color, however, I when steamed for any length of { time. Steaming requires a special i type of container which many homes ! do not have. Cooking by steam in I a pressure saucepan or a pressure j cooker requires the shortest time ; for cooking. However, the higher temperature of steam under pressure makes it necessary to use care and accurate timing to avoid overcooking. The waterless cooker steams and cooks with the addition of little or no water, thus saving food values. Any pan of iheavy metal, which allows the heat to be evenly distributed and which has a tigh'.lyfltted lid may be used for so-called waterless cookery, or cooking of vegetables on top of the stove with the addition of just enough water to create steam.
