Within th next fw month La
Grand will witn th completion of
nterpri that will provide tb bad
(or the upbuilding of th largest city
in th Inland Empire. W bar refer
ence to th two pover oompaniss that
are now la ooare of construction.
Tim was when all th large olliei were
bollt on itreami which farnlahed
power. Today th streams are harneea
ed and the power la carried whereso
ever there 1 a market for It.
THE UBAKD EONDE POWER Co.
A few day ago the Grand Bonde
Power Co. received a car load of glasi
Insolatora which will bold th wire on
the poles from the power station In the
Cove, sixteen mile east of tbl city.
On oar of th pip i now intransit
and other oar will follow until the
4700 feet la delivered by the 15th of
March.
lhe excavation for the pipe line and
power bouse at the Cove wUl b com
pleted this week. The pole bay been
ordered from the oedar forests at Sand
Point Idaho. The Mrat Installment is
expected within the next few days and
the work of setting will commence
next Monday. The dynamo and large
water wheel have been ordered many
week and according to the contract
with manufacturers are to be bad not
i.t.r than April 1st. The company
received notice yesterday tftat one w
of electrical appliance had just been
shipped.
The company ia Installing a plant
so the 420 horse power can be doubl
ed whenever the demands warrant by
! the addition of another dynamo If
present plans are carried oat they will
light the Cove, La Grande, Hot Lake
and Union which will possibly require
375 borer" power leaving a s orpins of
200 bore power for. manufacturing
purpoeee. It will require 48 mile ol
copper wire to connect Cove with La
Grande and it 1 the intention of the
company to have the work all complet
ed and have the president of the com
pany touch the button at the Cove on
Jane lcth and set the wheel in motion
at La Grande, where the principal office
of the company will be located.
ANOTHER PO ft KB Cc.
The La Grande water Storage Co
(Morgan Lake) will aoon bsv their
big wheel at work distributing it
COO borse power whieh can be increased
another 60Q by coming on down th
bill 600 feet further. Their 1100 feet
t 18 inch steel pipe 1 now on the way
having passed Coanoil Bluffs several
day ago. This company wa granted
a franchise and it is expected that the
wiring of the city for lighting purposes
will be under construction within a
very short time,
Tbl company baa now Invested 50,
000 and by April 1st they will have
expended another 125,000 In pipe,
wheel, dynamo and wiring.
Both of these power proposition
have long since passed the "will be
stage" La Grande is to have a cheap
power and an abundanoe of it. This
means the successful operation of many
!sd:tr 't heretofore was not
possible. It means payrolls and pay
rolls build oities. .
La Grande has made a growth based
upon the large tributary country sur
rounding, ilandicapped for years,
from the want of cheap power; and at
last this is to be supplied and in on
limited quantities. -
