The Power House Extensl on. The Pacific Bridee Oomnanv of Port- land, which has the .contract for adding seven more sections to station B of the pr,i,wi n,...i viIU,fr;Anninnv !,,. got fairly at work on the job, having some 50 men at work, and next week the number will be increased to 70 or 80. The contract of the company calls ; uon OI uie concrete uuuiuiin, umiuiiui uu of the dynamos, and turning the whok over to tho electric company, ready for operation. The burning of the Union power-housD at Portland a short time since cut down the surplus power of the company, and showed them tho necessity of having their dynamos in a fireproof building. It waB therefore decided to add seven sections of 112 feet in longht, to station B, the concrete building on tho west side of the river at Oregon Oily, which will increase the capacity 4200 horse power. All the dynamOB will be moved from station A to station B to cut down ! the expense of operating two stations,' and to get all the plant into a fireproof ' building. There will be 14 water wheels to supply power for the seven new sec tions, and tho draft pipes for these wheels are now being put in, the riveters working night and day. The -new sections will require 4500 cubic yards ol concrete. The 5 00 barrels of cement required for this are at hand, and the rock needed will be crushed on the ground by electricity, a hundred-horsepower dynamo being provided for that pu pose. Tho difficulty which has heretofore been experienced in governing the speed of the water wheels under tho ever varying load will be done away with by the new electric mechanical governor, to be placed on all the wheels, which will regulate them as promptly and ac curately as steam engines are regulated by the best style of governor. Tho contract of the Pacific Bridge Company also calls for the fixing up of a section of the canal, which will require some 200,0 0 feet of lumber, and which is to be done without in any way interfer ing with tho passage of boats through the locks. The entire work will bo com pleted about February 1. A storehouse, a messhouso and two bunk-houses aro being erected by the Pacific Bridge Company on the west side of the river, for tho use of tho men en gaged in building tho extension to the power-house. 1 J.
