CHEAPEST POWER IN
PACIFIC NORTHWEST
AT GRAND COULEE
SPOKANE, Wash.—The Grand
Coulee and Bonneville dams will
bring to the Pacific Northwest re
gion of the United States, Amer
ica’s cheapest commercial electric
power costing from l1-* to 2 mills
per kilowatt hour, predicts Wat
son DaVis, director of Science
Service. •
Here is energy for new indus
trial developments using the lar
ge deposits of raw material and
cheap tidewater transportation in
connection with the inexpensive
electricity he says
Research workers in mining,
metallurgy and geology, both
state and federal, centered at
Washington State College at Pull
man, are exploring vigorously
now manufacturing industries
capable of using the new electric
al power
Most promising are develop
ment that make production of
manganese metal and magnesium
metal practical of high purity
and at low cost. Most exciting is
a new and simple direct method
of large scale production of the
lightweight metal, magnesium,
only two-thirds as heavy as al
uminum and one-fourth as heavy
as iron, from Washington State’s
magnesite deposit at a cost of
possibly less than 8 cents a
pound using the cheap Grand
Coulee power
The present market price of
magnesium metal, made from
salt brines in Michigan, is 28 to
30 cents a pound. With lower
p..ces for magnesium metal free
from chloride inclusions, it
v. mid be more widely used ir.

cars automobiles and in equip
ment transported as dead weight.
