SLIGHT FLOW IN COVE
POWER DIKH THIS WEEK
Provided that the present thaw
continue! La Grande will be furnished
with light In two days, Is the ultima
tum of Manager Fred Housh, who
visited Cove last evening'. He found
a slight flow of water In the ditch,
but It Is not s-'fl-lent to generate any
fiuantlty of t c(iirlty. The ditch
which conveys the water to the power
plant Is frozen at the summit and
what water Is now flowing Is caused
by the present thaw and Is not actual
opening of the ditch.
Should the present flow be aug
mented by thawed snows and Ice in
the same quantity that It has In the
past two days, th,e wheels will be
turning by Sunday, It la believed.
It is thought, however, thut In the
event' that electricity can be made
at that time, it will only be in such
ijuantltles as to warrant turning on
the stret light circuit, and not the
house lights of La Grande.
