a telegraphed statement from the

POWER PLANT TO BE
BUILT ON CLACKAMAS
The Clackamas Power & Irrigation
Company, of which A. McColmon of
the Failing-McColman Company of
Portland is president Is about to con
struct at the Hagemann power site on
the Clackamas River, seven miles
from Oregon City, a hydro-electric
power plant of large proportions. Of
this company H. A. Rands, an engi
neer, who has been connected, with
several power and engineering pro
jects of this section, and who but re
cently returned from work wltn me
United States Reclamation Service in
Nevada. Is general manager.
Preliminary work has been going
quietly forward for sometime. A
camp has been established and two
engineering parties are already In the
field engaeed in surveying the reser
voirs which will result In the con
struction of the dam. As soon as this
work has progressed sufficiently the
matter of acquiring the land to be sub
merced will be taken up. .
While this surveying Is going for
ward other men will be employed In
stripping the earth from the damslte,
and in testing the bed rock, on which
the dam Itself will rest For this
work the company has procured, and
has already on the ground one well
drill and two core drills.
The plans, subject to such change
as further explanation may Indicate to
be advisable, contemplate a dam which
will give a head of sixty feet Wheels
and electrical generators for the de
veloping of 10,500 electrical horse
power will be Installed at first with
provision for later Installation sum
cient to bring the total to 17,500
horse power.
The power will be nsed principally
for railroad purposes. With present
electrical lines being extended, new
ones projected, and existing lines be
In? rapidly changed from steam to
electricity the new company has no
apprehension as to the disposing of Its
out put
The construction win be of con
crete and steel, first class In every
particular, with the land to be acquir
ed will cost upwards of $1,000,000,
and will be completed by 1914.

BRIDGE TO BE BUILT AT WILLAMETTE
Electric And Steam Cars Wit Bs Op
erated Road To Connect
With Molalla Valley
Line
Robert E. Strahorn ,who built the
North Coast line, will complete con
striction of the Portland, Eugene k.
Eastern between Eugene and Port
land, and It will be the parent line of
the Southern Pacific company's elec
tric system in western Oregon. It
wab admitted by Vice-President and
General Manager C. E. Calvin of the
Southern Pacific, that his company
had purchased the stock and bonds of
the company .which heretofore haa
been beld by A. Welch.
The plana are to Immediately build
a double track line from Portland to
Oregon City, on the west side of the
river, thence across the Willamette
at Willamette and in a straight line
to Salem, paralleling the present
steam road all that distance. One ot
these tracks will be for electric roads
and the other for steam traffic. The
old steam line from Oregon City to
Portland will eventually be electrified.
. The Molalla Valley line, now partly
under construction from a point on
the main line of the Southern Pacific
near Canby to Salem, by way of Mo
lalla and Sllverton, will be an Import
ant branch from which feeders will be
built Into the surrounding rich fann
ing sections and timbered areas In the
foothills. It will be a aingle track
line, but with provision for double
tracking as traffic justifies the im
provement From Salem the electric line will
extend to Corvallls and Eugene with
connecting lines to Albany. From
Salem to Corrallis, Albany and Eu
gene the line will be bulk on the sur
veys of the Portland, Eugene k East
ern, and thence will be entirely Inde
pendent of the present steam lines.
The west side lines of the Southern
Pacific, which are new being electri
fied between Portland and McMinn
ville, both by way of Forest Grove
and Newberg, will connect with the
west side system at Independence.
In connection with this the South
era Pacific has also purchased the
Falls City t Western from L. Ger-
linger and associates .this line oper
ating between Dallas and Salem.
This purchase was made some time
ago. The company is now extending
this line from Salem in a westerly di
rection to Fir, a small atatlon to which
the Portland, Eugene A Eastern line
has been surveyed, and the physical
connection of the two lines will be
made by this extension.
Between Portland and Aurora the
line will have double tracks with pro
visions for four tracks. With double
tracks, one will be used for steam and
the other for electric. With four tracks
as it is believed, wiU eventually be
come necessary, two will be for steam
and two for electric service. The
bridge planned for crossing the Wil
lamette at Willamette station will be
an Immense double track structure
with provisions for four tracks. .
The Fourth street system is now
being electrified along tha plans an
nounced several weeks ago, by way of
Forest Grove In the Tualatin valley
and Newberg In the Willamette val
ley. .
All steam trains on the west side of
the river will- cross to the east side
over the Oswego bridge excepting
such freight as may be destined for
the Jefferson street depot The main
line steam trains will follow the west
side track from Willamette to Oswe
go, thence across the river again and
into Portland on the West side, the
Intention being to eventually electri
fy the present steam road between
Portland and Oregon City. This will
eliminate many curves and bad grades
for the steam service and give Ore
gon City and Intermediate points bet
ter Improved service to Portland.
