! I'OKTLAND OXNkKAL ELIiCTBIC COMPANY.
' 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.

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,
