by using bread made
from our whole wheat
flour. Jt is made from
the wnole wheat berry
except the out side hull,
or bran, which is a woody
substance, irritating and
indigestible. Bread made
from this flour is not so
white as that made from
the pale white roller flour,
but it is far superior for
food as it contains all the
gluten, germ, and oily
matter, of the wheat and
is much sweeter than
graham or any other
bread i vu:iil
artificially.

The Oregon City public schools will

bluff to Fifth street ; along Fifth street
to Adams street ; along Adams street to
Seventh street; along Seventh street to
J. Q. Adams street ; along J. Q. Adams

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.
