' One of the moet gigantic enterpriaea in : the f tale of Oregon, ia the electric power ' plant and atationa of the General Klec- trie Company. Tide company own the I lock and large tract! of landa on both aide of the river, and are conHeqtienlly j iutereated in the development ol Oregon j City. Till company not only fm nisb all : the electric liuhi and power for Portland. and for Oregon City, but furnish power , lor 0eraUng the Kant Side Railway Company to Milwaukee and light and power for intermediate point. The ; company also oerate an electric line to Willamette Falls, mile aouth, on the w;at aide of the river. a ne ueneral J-Jectrtc Company wae ; I orgitnixeu aomettung over two years ago with a capital etoclc of $4,250,000, and purchaaed the entire water power em j braced in the rail of the Willamette at I this city, 12 miles above Portland. P. JF. Morey, of Oregon City, is president; II. W. Goodo, of Poitland, general man ager ;C. H. Caufleld.Sec;W. C.Chenej. electrician, and T. W.Sullivan. engineer. This comtmny have already expended co less than 1,SX).0()0 on the immeiiae pewer stations and other improvements j here, and the contemplated cost of com pleting this plant, which will be the largest and moot complete electric gen erating plant on the Coast, and one of the largeet in the United States, will be about :00,000 more. Ileretolore the lights and power for the city of Portland have been ftirnisl ed from the east nide station, but two years ago the com puny began the construction of one of the greatest electric power station in the world on the edge of the locks canal. This structure, when fully completed, will have an ultimate length, parallel with the river, 6f 3t4 feet, and the wid'h of the building is 38 feet. The eaves are 77 feet above mean low water mark, and the entiie structure is most solidly built of concrete, Btone, iron and brick. The almost unprecedented high waters of the past two years have materially hindered the progress of the work, and the great freshet of last June did aauch damage to some of the partially completed improve ment. The maximum capacity of the station as completed at the present time is 6000 horse power, but this will soon be increased to 12,000 horse power. The canal side of the building wiil form one wall of the great locks canal when fully widened. Only one of the 600-horse power dynamos has been put at work as yet. but another one is being placed in position, and Manager Goode says that within 00 davs they will be operating 4500 horse power. The electric machinery for this station was designed by Mr. A. Eckstrom, one of the best known practical electricians in the United States, and was built under his supervision at the works of the General Electric Co., at Lynn, Mass, Mr. Eckstrom is busy making tests witb the new electrical machinery, and every' thing is proving yery satisfactory. Con nectiona have been made with Portland, and every article of electrical appliance and apparatus placed in the building are under the critical supervision of Mr. Eck strom, who has long been connected with the manufactures of the latest im proved electrical appliances for light and power, now in use. The following inter esting account of the transmission of the first current sent down to Portland the other day is taken from the Oregonian, and the disposal of the current, was man aged by Mr. Eckstrom : ' "Any one who thinks it is not practi cable to cook with electricity should in spect the apparatus used in the station of the Portland General Electric Com pany, to make a load for the current sent down from the big dynamo started at Oregon City Saturday. It appears to be necessary to have something for such a current to do, or the consequences would be serious. A three-phase motor was hitched on to be run by the current, but this was only a trifle for it, so a dozen whisky barrels were filled with water, and some salt put in the water to make it a better conductor, and then plates of metal were suspended in the water and the current turned into them. Only one acquainted witb the ways of electricity can explain this arrangement sensibly, but any one could see that the corrent kept the water boiling, and it kept a man busy with a hone pouring cold water in to the barrels, one after another, to keep the water from alllioiling out of theia. Jalk about cooking! Meat, potatoes, cabbage, etc., for an army could have been boiled in thoae barrels, and inch a current as was going through them would have heated water to scald all the hogs killed in Chicago." The pumps, vertical turbine water wheels and the intricate connecting ma chinery are from the Stilwell-Bierce 4 Kniith-Vaile Company, of Dayton, Ohio. Mr. George W. Bowie, of this company, uerintcnds the arranging and fitting in position the water wheels, pump and machinery, and is assisted by Master Mechanic Charles J. Spink, of the same company. Timothy Flaherty is the boiler maker, and rivets iron fastenings wher ever required. There are now running two 15-inch wheels in the pump-room, operating a circulatingpump for water, and hydrau lic Dump, which uses oil to sustain the weight of the armature and shaft and automatically regulates its own pressure by controlling the speed of the turbine wheel from which it derives it power; also one 42-inch wheel and one 60-inch wheel connected with the armature shaft, and a 43-inch wheel, which runs the exciter. There are high and low water wheels, and the middle floor is lighted through circular openings in the wall, four feet in diameter, but which terminate on tbe in side with a bull's-eye sash and glass, three feet in diameter, and made to close water tight, like the port holes in the sides of ocean steamers. These are de signed to protect the interior during ex cessive periods of high water. The water wheels and machinery are so constructed that all the power furnished by the water is utilized without waste, and by the ar rangement of pnmps and hiirli and low wheels, excessive high or low stages of water do no effect the workings of the plant. The dynamos and attendant electrical apparatus are placed in position above the biuhest water ever known. A visit to the lower floors where the pumps, wheels and automatic machinery, as arranged under the supervision of Mr. Bowie, are in active operation, reveals the fact that the bearings, etc., of the in tricate mechanical arrangement works so noiselessly and perfectly as to excite the admiration of the beholder. With the 12,000 horne power to be fur nished by this station when completed. in addition to the old station at the npper end of the falls, the facilities will be almost unlimited for furnishing power for faclorie at Portland, Oregon City and intermediate points. Since the Portland General Electric Company has pur chased the canal and the locks, they have widened all the upper part of the canal from 40 io 120 feet, and replaced the old wooden wall with one of solid masonry, four feet wide at the top, as far as the improvement has been made. The entire canal will be widened all the way through witb a wall of substantial con crete masonry, which will be as high as 34 feet. This improvement has already greatly facilitated easy navigation of the canal, as two steamboats are now enabled to pass each other where it has been widened, and where only one boat could move before, and, besides it has also greatly increased the volume ol water carried by the canal, which has largely added to the available power furnished from tliis source. THR CROWN MILL. The Crown Paper Company is ex pending $100,000 this year in adding wood and sulphite pulp mills. The wood pulp mill is almost completed, and will be in successful operation by June 1st, and it is expected to have the sulphite pulp mill in successful operation by August 1st. The completion of these pulp mills will enable the company to add about thirty more hands to their work ing force. The pulp mills will be con structed in connection with and abjoin ing their paper mill, and will have a capacity of working up four tons of wood pulp and five tons of sulphite per day of twenty-four hours. Sixty-five men are now employed in the mills, and every thing is a scene of busy activity in and around the place. They are now run ning principally on fruit paper, and they have an order from one firm of fruit growers in California for 87 tons of paper, and expect to manufacture at least 500 tons of rruit paper this season, They have been making fruit paper for the past two years, and it is in great demand. Besides fruit paper they manufacture ex tensively manilla, straw, sheeting and roofing paper, as well as druggists fine wrapping and and book paper. W. P. Hawley is superintendent of the Crown mills, Noble Heath is assistant superintendent and M. Rosenbaum is manager and book-keeper. These men all thoroughly understand their business and are wide-awake to the best interests of the company. These mills excel in the manufacture of special linesof paper nd their products are in great demand, especially in California. The business of the company is steadily growing, and they are adding to their facilities. Tin wii.LAMrrra pulp papk compart. This company, with its extensive sul phite and wood pulp mills and paper I mills, runs day and night, and gives em- ployment to abont 150 hands, while aboot 50 more additional men are bnsy in the forests lining the bank of the Upper Willamette and Lower Colombia rivers getting out the timber which tiimishea the raw material. Cottonwood and white fir are used in the raannfactore of the best grades of white newspaper, of whicl immense quantities are exported, TUB WOOLEN Kill,. The woolen mill is one of tl oldest factories in the state, and gives employ ment to about 300 bands They are now adding to the capacity of the mill and several new looms have been ordered. It Is the intention, se the Ekiibprihi has been informed, to add twenty new looms iu all to the woolen factory this year, which will materially add to the output of manufactured goods. Additions and improvements have been added to the soap factory, and a pulling machine is being put in to take the wool from pelts. These Improvements will cost at least $10,000, it bas been estimated, and the company have purchased a large number of sheep pelts in the S in Francisco mar ket, as wool growers were late in getting; their shearing done. OTHEB IKOCSTBieS. Among the other industries of Oregon City are two flouring mills with a -capacity of 800 barrels per day. The Oregon City Iron Works, owned by Itoake 4 Sons, are one of the solid in stitutions, and do moulding, casting and make to order anything that can be man ufactured out of iron or steel. H. P. Bestow now runs his door and sash factory with electric power, and re cently moved into a large and commo dious new building, to meet the demands of bis increasing business. Messrs. Robbins & Lawrence are the wrestling proprietors of the Mechanic's Mill. They work five men and do all kinds of mill work, and their business is constantly growing. Two large sawmills give employment to a large number of men the Gladstone Sawmill Company, and George Brough ton's Mills. The Excelsior Works, A. W. Howard, manager, ship their product to all parts of the Coast. Smith 4 Lovett are proprietors of the largest artificial ice works on the North west Pacific coast, and their enterprise is well patronized. The shoe factory at Willamette Falls gives steady employment to fifteen men. It is one of the infant industries of Ore- gon City and its business is growing. T. E. Hatch and J. H. Hoffield operate a rustic fnrniture factory, and are meet ing with flattering access in the manu facture of furniture from hazel brush. Two brick yards give employment to a number of men. The other industries above mentioned are generally in a prosperous condition and their business is increasing. In the aggregate they give employment to a large number of men. Oregon City needs more of tbase small manufactures. Mothers. "One good mother is worth a hundred schoolmasters," said George Herbert. Men are what their mothers make them. But if the mothers are peevish and Irrita ble, through irregularities, "female weakness," and kindred ailments, they find no pleasure, no beauty in the care of their babes. All effort is torture. Let all such, who feel weighed to the earth with "weakness" peculiar to their sex, try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. They will find the little one a delight in stead of a torment. To those about to become mothers it is a priceless boon. It lessens the pains and perils ef childbirth, shortens labor and promotes the secretion of an abund ance of nourishment for the child. B. II. Bowman; Pub. Enquirer; of Bremen, Ind., writes: Last week our little girl babv, the only one we have, was taken sick with croup. After two doctors failed to give relief and life was banging on a mere thread we tried one minute One Minute Cough Cure and its life was saved. 0. G. Huntley, druggist. Wanted.
