VOL. XVII. No. 41. ROSEBURG REVIEW FRA' California-Oregon Co. Seeks to Enter This County PETITIONS THE COUNTY COURT Das Purchased the Glendale Plant and Ms Permission to Extend the Wires to Riddle and Other Points An application was made to the County Court here today by the California-Oregon Power Co. for a fran chise, right and privilege to use cer tain of the public roads, highways and public grounds within the county of Douglas for the construction, main tenance and operation of poles and wires for the transmission of elec tricity for power lines and other pur poses. This application was present ed by Attorney A. C. Hough, of Grants Pass, nnd Alex ,1. Hosborough, a representative of- tho power com pany. This application - is for the right to extend their line of electric wires and poles from Glendale to the city limits of Roseburg. They ex plained that It is not their intention to enter the light and power field in this city at this time, but to furnish electricity for any other purposes along this proposed route. The California-Oregon Power Co. is a very large concern, operating six big generating plants in Jackson, Josephine and Klamath counties in Oregon, and in Siskiyou and Shasta counties-In California. The company has a capital of ?10.00il,noi, and their plants, lines and other equip ment has a physical valuation of over . $1G, 000, Olio. They are operating' over 400 miles of main power lines, besides their numerous service lines, and are supplying electricity to 31 cities and towns, besides numerous irrigating plants, factories, dredgers, mining machinery, individual pump ing nnd power stations, etc. A tract of 20.000 acres in liutte Valley, Cali fornia, is being put under irrigation, the water to be pumped by electric power furnished by this company. Other Irrigation systems of smaller area are likewise being supplied. The use of electricity for many purposes about the house and farm is rapidly extending, for power, lighting and heating. This company's present power lines extend as far north as the Greenback mine south of Glendale, and will soon he extended to Glendale. as the company lias just purchased the pres ent privately owned plant nnd fran chise there. If they are granted the rights petitioned for today, they ex pect to extend their lines to Kiddie and Myrtle Creek, and perhaps to Canyonvllle, with service wires branching wherever needed. I hey do not contemplate running a line to Roseburg at present, ns we already have an adequate electric service here. This company's six big electric gen erating plants are nil connected by heavy power conveying wires, so that If any one plant should become dis abled the service would be carried on without Interruption from the others. These lines now extend to Bonanza, east or Klamath Kalis; to .Cnstelln, south of Iiunsmuir, and to Ktna, west or Yreka. An Immense dam is now being placed In the Klam ath Hlver and a generating plant put in that will generate ;.:l,000 horse Power. The dam Is no leei lines at the base and will be 1.10 feet high and f.On feet long at the top. THE BIG DAYLIGHT STORE Bends mi your foot TRADE MARK LET US SATURDAY 19.50!

Lawrence, a prominent and well known resilient of Lost Valley, was killed this afternoon while helping put some logs Into Lost Creek to join a drive that was being taken down to Mathews' mill.
