...Coast cement market and invading the never-before-invaded magnesium industry (TIME, March 3), he applied to OPM last week for a certificate of necessity to build $150,000,000 worth of steel mills in the West. His plans include blast furnaces in Utah for Rocky Mountain coal and ore; electric furnaces near Bonneville Dam to use cheap Government power to convert the Utah pig and scrap iron into high-grade steel; a plant in Southern California to use electricity and natural gas (first time on a commercial scale) to smelt local ore; a plate mill near Los Angeles...
Creditor. In Brownsville, Ore., grizzled Farmer Matud Odehnal, who used to be a stonemason in Moravia, declared: "Hitler still owes me 20?." Years ago, he said, a ne'er-do-well Adolf Hitler borrowed a krone from him in the Pohrlitz courthouse, never repaid...
Around the time of the Civil War, Nevada's Virginia City, site of the fabulous Comstock Lode, was the wildest, hell-roaringest mining town in the world. Men who arrived haggard, filthy and penniless soon made thousands of dollars a week from the blue-black silver ore, gorged themselves on oysters, caviar, champagne.

But compared with Grand Coulee and Bonneville, the Northwest's private power resources are minuscule. When they reach their combined ultimate capacity of 2,438,400 kilowatts, the Bonneville Power Administration (which administers...
Worst blow was delivered last year in Eugene, Ore., whose citizens turned down Bonneville power. This left 125 miles of Bonneville transmission lines, built in hopes of a big new customer, with almost no place to go. Four months later Portland turned down Bonneville too. So, this month, did Tacoma and Spokane. In these riotous elections the PUDs and the private utilities sometimes made cause against BPA. Dr. Raver's own campaigning was often vitriolically abetted by that of Harold Ickes, who helped lose several elections by introducing the Federal interference issue into an already three-cornered fight...
