New York Men Ijaunch Gigantic Wa ter Power Scheme at The Dalles. THE DALLES, Or., July 6. The largest mortgage ever recorded 4n Wasco county was filed with the county clerk - Saturday by , C. D. Charles a trust -deed given by the Wasco Courtty Electric Power com pany to the Carnegie Trust company of New York to secure a bond issue not to exceed $15,000,000. The fil ing fee for this instrument was $19.80. . The Wasco County Electrical com pany was recently Incorporated with a capital stock of $3,000,000, and with Its principal office at Condon. The .purposes of the company are to take over the property of the Oregon Gold Prospecting & Developing Com pany, which controls 30 miles of wa ter rights on the Deschutes river, reaching from the mouth of Matoleas river In Crook county, and a like stretch of water rights on the John Day river. The company s water rights on the Deschutes are said to control one of the. finest water pow ers in the world, a power which If de veloped would generate not less than 500,000 horsepower. Mr. Charles states that the com pany purposes to erect a plant at some convenient point on the Des chutes capable of developing 60,000 horsepower, half of which has been contracted for a term of 200 years by the Portland. Baker City and Butte railroad. This company. It 1? understood proposes building an elec tric road from Portland to Butte. Mont. The course of the road through Oregon will be southerly and easter ly from Portland through Clneknmn? county to the summit of the Cascades thence easterly through Warm Springs Indian reservation to the Des chutes river, crossing that stream at the mouth of Trout creek and John Day river, thence along that river to Canyon City and across the Blue mountains to Baker City. This road. it Ib stated, will be electrified Its en tire length, and will consume a large part of the output of the Deschutes plant, and also of a plant to be erect ed on John Day river. Network of Klectrie Lines. Aside from constructing amain line from Portland to Butte, the com pany proposes building branch liner running north and south, connecting with all the principal sections of cen tral Oregon, making a network of electric lines throughout the eastern part of the state, reaching from the Columbia river to the California and Nevada lines. The report Is current that arrange ments have already been perfected for the building of the first 117 miles, and that construction work will be commenced August 1. The line of this proposed road passes through some of the richest sections of the state, which when once given transportation facilities will become continuous grain fields and meadows. It also taps one of the best yellow pine belts on the coast, and will bring within the reach of market millions of feet of the finest finishing lumber that grows. The electric company, aside from furnishing motive power for the pro posed railroad, will make It pos sible to pump water by electric power out of Deschutes and John Day rivers for Irrigation of large tractB of now worthless lands, which only requires the touch of water to make them the most productive on earth. These two enterprises, the electric company and the proposed railroad promise much for the development of eastern Oregon. Tortured on a Horse.

Regular operation of their big rock crushing plant in North Roseburg was begun this morning by the War ren Construction Co. This rock Is to be used in the street paving work now iu progress. Besides the crew of men operating the rock crusher, elevator and rotary screen, about 20 men are employed in the quarry at the east end of the spur track ex tending beyond the fruit-packing houses. A few days ago the paving com pany received a shipment of 12 new wagons for use in their work here, and the specially constructed bodies of these are now being lined with asbestos and heavy sheet Iron, for carrying the paving material wher ever It may be needed. A large quantity of bltullthic sur facing material has already been re ceived and unloaded just east of the frutt-packing houses. At the rock quarry a steam drill Ib used for plac ing the blasts. A number of teams are busy, with specially built dump wagons, hauling the rock from the quarry to the crusher, a few hundred feet away. As the street grading Is nearlng completion In places, teams ave begun hauling the rock from the crusher and placing It on the streets. The coarser rock (about two inches in diameter) will be put on first and rolled firmly Into place with the heavy steam roller. The one- Inch rock and bltullthic "tar" comes fter this and the fine screenings go on last. The bltullthic material is to be poured on hot and when it cools forms a solid mass, in conjunction with the broken rock, lmervlou8 to water and presenting a Bmooth, even surface for tratllc. A large portion of the curbing Is already In place and the aotual paving Is expected to begin before the end of the present month, in putting on the bltullthic surfacing but one or wo days will be required for each Ity block, and. the whole 18 blockr now contracted can be surfaced in about one month's time.
