PLANT IS
FILLY IN
OPERATION
Warren Construction Co.
Are Rapidly Laying Pav
ing on West Seventh St.
Many Men Working
All of the jiri'liiiiinary work having
been completed tilt' Wr.rrcn Const ruc
tion company have at Inst commenced
the actual work of grading anil laying
the paving un Seventh Ktreet. Tho
work is progressing rapidly and it will
not bo a great while before the busi
ness streets of t ho city will have, been
improved. In the meantime the contrac
tors aro praying fur fair weather and
the delivery of the rock, for with
stormy weather atid lack of material
from the quarry of the city tho work
is apt to be delayed. Rut if things
move along ns they should it is only
n two weeks' job to lay the paving
on Seventh street, according to the con
tractors. It will repay anyone who has not vis
ited thep hint in West Med ford to do
so. Hero Is a giant machine conntruct
edw so as to do the work with the ut
most rapidity and with the least amount
of manual labor possible. Everything
is donn accurately, there being no guess
work. And when the plant han pre
pared the material it goes immediately
upon the street and is rolled while it
is still hot.
Course of the Rock.
To fidlow the course of the crushed
stone through the plant is of interest.
First the stony' is quarried In-Jackson-ville
nnd crushed. Thcn.fronrtho crush
er it is carried into iho bunkers, where
the cars aro loaded. Then conies in the
transportation to Medford, where the
enrs are run up a " per cent grade and
dumped into bunkers. From these bunk
ers the rock is piled back of the spot
where the material first enters the
plant. Elevators first, carry the stone
into huge heaters which revolve and
thoroughly heat the rock. From these
heaters the rock is carried aloft through
another elevntor and it is turned into
a screen, where it is divided into three
bins, according to itn size. These bins
nro directly above the mixer nnd so
many pounds from each is allowed to
fall into oao mixing. Here from huge
vats a certain weight of the bitulithic
preparation is put in with tho stone.
In doing this the result is nover by
guess. A chemist has determined just
how much of the three sizes of the
crushed stone together with the prep
aration inakn the paving material. This
chemist tests the preparation each day.
Pacini, is not done in any haphazard
wav, but according to rules which have
been evolved by years of tests.
Off for the Street.
After tho material is all in the mixer,
where it is thoroughly stirred up, it
Irnra Into a waffon below and is hauled
.iivnv to tho street.
Thn rneh itrcimrut ion here is placed
anon the street while it is steaming hot
The men then smooth it out and the
steam roller attacks it. It is rolled
until the street is smooth. From the
timo tho rock is fir.it taken fronr the
onarrv until it is rolled it is not shov
cled at any point. One elevator and
drop shoves it along until it is in place
unon the street.
The task of preparing the street is
not a light one. Tho grading is don.
in accordance with specif icntionn pro-
mired bv the oitv e.igineer. Then upon
this surface is placed several inches of
crushed rock of the ci.arser variety. This
is rolled and smoothed as mnetl as possl
tile. Then upon this the hot asphalt is
snread. binding the crushed rock to
miKor. The comes the preparation from
the plant some two inches thick, nnd
then on top ot tins n piaceu no-

The enmnnnv is employing some
men nt the present time. The work is

OVER A MILLION FOR
THE KLAMATH PROJECT
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Nov. 7.
There is now positive nssuratico that
the work on the Klnmutlr project will
rushed during the year 11)0!), and
that by the close of that vcar most of
tho dry luuds, or uplands, included in
the project, will ho supplied with water.
The appropriation for the ensuing year
has just been made public nnd it is
larger than that of any previous year,
and when it is understood that nil of
toe funds nvailable are to bo used for
instruction work, it will be seen that
the project will be well along by the
lose of 11)09 if the money is judicious-
expended. The sum allowed by con
gress is $4111,0110, npproxillintely $"(),
0(10 more than was allowed for last
year.
All ot the funds for the work during
1903 will not be expended and this will
be available for next season, so that
the amount will be sufficient to com-
lete the Clear Lake data and most of
the upper projects, as well as the main
canal through the Klamath basia.
The work has not been definitely
outlined for next year, but it is ex
pected that the drainage of the marsli
will be included in the plans. Jtw ill
be several years beforo the marsh lands
will be subdued, as they must first be
trained and then supplied witli un irri
gation system. It is understood that
the drainage work will be included in
the pans for the lilOO work.
The work has been progressing very
satisfactorily during the past season,
and nothing further has been heard of
tho petition of the board of directors
f the Klamath Water I'sors' associa
tion to the secretnry of the interior
isking for the removal of Project En-
gineer D. W. Murphy. Its receipt has
been acknowledged, but if nay action
is been taken tho result has not been

plau to control all transportation, Cap
tain Amos Fries of the United States

a sensation in an address delivered be

Captain Fries declared that the mil
lions of the Southern Pacific railroad
would be used in preventing tho devel

road company, a corporation foreign to

two venrs without a franchise. It seems
that when tho plant was constructed
tho company wns granted a franchise
for a period of ten yours, which expired
either two or three years ago, the time
of completion not being exactly known
nt this time.
The question of the expiration of the
franchise arose from the investigation
being made by the city with n view to
purchasing tho plant. It is not likely
Hint anv difficulty will nrise from the
fact that the franchise has expired, ns
the compnny does not care to go out
of business and tho city cannot get
along without light and water.
Klamath Fulls owns an interest in
the light nnd water plant, to the extent
of 10,000, and has the privilege of buy
ing the system nt any time .luring the
first ten years. The expiration of the
contract would annul this clause in the
contract and the city could no longer
ompel the company to sell.
There was some litigation about ac
opting the plant when it was first
built and if tins tune is allowed the
life of the franchise under which the
company operates has not expired, and
the city has not lost its opportunity to
purchase the system.
