California-Oregon Co. Seeks to

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

DKXTEU, Or., April 15. O. J.
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. Mr. Lawrence was
working on 'the logs when be slipped
and fell. The water was shallow,
but several of the heavy logs, driven
by the current, rolled over hint,
crushing his body between the logs
and the rocky bottom of the creek.
It is believed that death resulted
from Injuries received when the logs
rolled over his body, and not from
drowning. The body was in the water
only a few seconds before being res
cued, but Mr. Lawrence was dead
when the rescuers reached the bank.
The accident occurred about 2 o'clock
this afternoon near Mr. Lawrence's
home about four miles from here.
Mr. Lawrence was a well known
:ind uromlticnt resident of this sec
tlon, and was a candidate for county
commissioner on the Republican

NKW YORK, April 1 6 Thousands
of those people throughout this broad;
land who do not believe thai a mad-1
house is the proper end for the red ;
romance ot Harry K. Thaw will not,
weep sadly for what has happened
to one William Travel's Jerome, who I
admits, under pressure, that ho is
Thaw's Nemesis whatever that Is.
Jerome is now doing a little weeping
tor himself. Actuated, he says, only
by a desire for even-handed justice.
Jerome has hunted some on the Thaw
trail. Incidentally he has spent some
of his own good money in tho hunt.
Imagine his horror the other day
when, having presented a little bill
of $44,360 to the New York Legisla
ture for the alore-mentioned even
handed justice hunt, the Legislature
got involved in a political mix-up and
adjourned, caring not a hoot either
for Mr. Jerome or his little bill.
