Our proxe-d development of the dec
trio power In the Willamette river at
Oregon City will have absolutely no of
foot on any proposition that niiy ho made
for tlio sale of the Oivgn City locks to
tho government. I wish you would make
that plain." said 11 W. Uoode. presi
dent of tlu lYotland General F.lootilo
Company. reort 'ho Portland Journal.
For some time the oompnny ha boon
llannlng the construction of an olootrlo
power plant on the oast side of the rlvor
St tho alio of the power station lhat was
4andonod Ujw years ago. Tho now one
will be vory muoh lancer than tho pres
ent power lant at Oregon City. This
will assure It an enormous Int'tvase In It
facilities for generating olootrlo light
and power, Tho present wator power
plant at Oregon City and tho aloam plant
now bolng oomplotod on tho rortlnnd
wator front, with a olrahlnoj capacity of
S4.1HK horse power, ar totally- eclipsed
by tho now plant doaignrd to kerp tho
Fortlan'j General Electric oompany
Abrvaxt of the rapid growth and expan
sion of IVrlland and tho Willamette
valloy. Whon the undertaking la car
ried Into effort the company will hav
facilities for generating of a total of
t2.(W0 horse power at Oregon City plants,
and a duplicate system plant In Tort
land that will be capable of taking up
the kad at a moment a notice.
The water power planta will be used
In season of good atage of water In the
Willamette river, and the steam plant In
Portland w"l handle the work In the low
water seasons. One of the plants will
Always be In reserve for use In event of
an accident.
It Is stated that the company's plans
at Oregon City are being drawn not to
Interfere In any way with the operation
or enlargement of the Oreogn City locks,
which are at the west side of the rlvor;
the power plant ts to be constructed on
the east side. The volume of wator. It
la pointed out, la ample for manuaf dur
ing purposes without effecting the opera
tion of the locks. A report made by a
government engineer on the possibilities
of water distribution at Oregon ' City,
states that the malxmum quantity of
water needed for navigation business of
three lockages an hour would be only 2
per cent of the volume of water In the
river at the low water stage. Present
navigation requirements amount to but
three or four lockages daily and none at
Migri. The future growth of navigation
It la said, will never require so much as
three lockages an hour. The company
does not expect the use of the water for
manufacturing to present any o'.ftacle
to the operation of the locks.
The new power station to be built on
the east side of the river will be a basis
for all development that the company
expects to make at Oregon City, It
will have a capacity of 4.0tM horse pow
er, and will be conrtniotod no that any
needed amount of power can be devel
oped by adding imlta of Installation to
moot demand of the market for all time.
"Tho (list Installation at the now sta
tion will probably be three units, or
10.11 art horse vovor." said president
tioodo. "Additional unit of J.6d horse
power will bo Installed as rapidly as the
demand for vleotiie light and power de
velops. For even H Installed at tho
Oregon City plant a unit will bo added
to the steam plant In Portland. The
building of a duplicate steam plant here
to bo operated by steam Is for the pur
pose of prov Iding power to be used dur
ing the low water period each year and
to avoid a possibility of having the ser
vice crippled by accident. We Intend to
be In a pool! Ion to furnish power and
li;ht nt only to IMrlland but to any of
the towns In the Willamette valley, and
to meet the reda of the rapidly multi
plying manufacturing Industries In this
territory."
When the plans are consummated tl.o
IWt sunt tienenil Kiev trio Co,, will ha o
facilities for generating SI.OOO rw
power In Its own plants and In addition
will have a supply of g.ooo horsoHwer
contracted for the Oregon Water Power
& Hallway company from Its plant on
llie Clackamas river, practically amount
ing to a total of tiHUH home power.
This linmViso supply nf electrical cur
rent Is expected to meet the needs of
l'ortland and the surrounding territory
for many i ears.
