POWER PLANT FOR
CL
Will Be Established Three
Miles Below Cazadero by
New Concern.
ESTIMATED COST $500,000
Fifteen Thousand Horsejxmer Will
Be Generated, Which Will Bo
bold In Portland Preliml-
nary Operations Begun.
The development of a bip eloctric power
plant on the Clarkamas Kiver similar to
th Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company's ratton at Cazadero. U tho plan
of V. S. Mnrri-s of Morris Hros.. brokers
and ban'urrs of this city. The plans, as
proj.-et. d. cost ahout $.0w) and is
expected to generate lj,' horse-power.
.Mr. Morris will earn' out his plan under
the najne of k.e Clackamas Land & Klec
tric tympany, which has been incorpor
ated wtui a capital irtoclc of fctfO.OX). In
corporators are Wirt Minor, A. B. Oroas
man and C. K. Williams. The Morris
plant will be located three mllea below the
pr,.;nt pow-r station of the Portland
Kultway, Llsht ii Power Company and
will t:so tne same water as the former
com-arn after It has passed through the
bie turbines at the upper station.
The new company expects to enter Into
direct competition with the Portland
Railway. Light & Power Company Jn
fumlshinir power and light in this city.
Mr. ilorris planned the harnessing of
the Cazadero water power three years
ayo. -Since the trolley line was com
pleted to the river, there will be little
difficulty In landing materials at the very
spot where they will be needed to con
struct a big power dam and rear the
massive, concrete construction of the
p"wer station.
Mr. Morris went out to Eftacada yes
terday to look over the preliminary work
of clearing the location for the power
plant. Men were set to work building
bunk bouses Tor the construction crews
and clearing the land of trees and stumps.
By the t'.me tho lowest stage of the river
is reached next Summer, it is expected
the work will have been sufficiently well
advanced for tho construction forces to
commence laying the foundations of the
dam.
It will he. a matter of one or more years
before the p.-wer station can be com
pleted ready for operation. However, Mr.
Morris says work will go ahead steadily
until the project is complete.
"I have owned the land on the Clack
amas River for sryna lime." said Mr.
Morris, "and have often considered put
ting In a big electric plant there. I tliink
the time is now ripe for the venture. The
city needs more electricity for manufact
uring and for lighting and wo propose to
supply it. We will build a dam ) feet
long by 40 feet high. I figure that the
plant will cost l"iuu.) but will generate
15."Y horse-power when completed. The
machinery we will Install will be the best
and most modern to be had. Work on
clearing the ground and building bunk
hous. for tho men will start today."

EXCVRSIOXS TO CALIFORX1A
Tivo Trainloads lYoiu Washington
W ill Go South This Winter.
Two big excursions from Washington
to California will be run through Port
land tnis Winter. One will come from
Puset Sound and the other from the In
land Empire. !Vth will be jxrated by
the Northern PaciMo and Southern Paci
fic and will be personally conducted. Both
will be run in special trains of Pjllmans
during the mon'.lis of January end Feb
ruary. The first will bo operated under the aus
pices of the Aiaka-Yukon-Paclfla Expo
sition and will carry 1 people from Se
attle. T aroma and the other Piiget Sound
cities. The chji-ct of the excursion is to
advertise the fair and induce the tourists
to return this way next year, taking in
the exposition on their way to their homes
tn the Last.
This excursion is expected to accom
plish a great deal In the advertisement
of the four throughout California. The
excursion will be headed by men promi
nent in the fair management and no doubt
nmch travel will be attracted from Cali
f 'tila.
The excursion from the Inland Empire,
that will probah.y be run in February,
wi'.l be a big affair. Two special Pull
in. in trains will earry the junketers and
tiie trip will be made for pleasure pure
ly One train will bo run irom Spokane
ar.d another from Walla Walla. About
ti requests have come to General Passen
ger Agent McMurray. of the Harriman
lires, asking that Lae excursion be run
th s Winter.
Iast .ir one train, made up of Spo
kane and Walla Walla people, was oper
ated to Southern California through Port
land. Personal representatives of Mr.
MoM urn-ay's department accompanied the
train tiie whoie distance and the excur
sion was a huge success. Such an enjoy
W trip resulted that Lie Inland Empire
dGKAMAS
RIVER
peoeple are anxious that the trip be re
peated thia Winter.
The coming excursion will be more
elaborate than that of last year. Not
only will the number of excursionists be
larger, but the accommodations will be
better, and the entertainment offered will
be on a more extensive scale. One of the
most pleasant features of last Winter's
junket was the entertainment offered at
the various cities en route. There was a
continuous string of receptions, which be
gan at Portland, and continued through
out the journey. The leading California
cities showed the trawlers every atten
tion and contributed largely to their en
jovmcnt.of the trip.
This pleasant feature will doubtless con
tinue during the coming Winter. The
commercial bodies of the various cities
will see to it that the stay of the special
train parties is made as happy as1 possi
ble While pleasure is the prime object
of the excursion, literature advertising the
Pacific Northwest will be carried along
and distributed and business men on board
will look after their Interests in' the ter
ritory traversed.
General Passenger Agent McMurray, of
the Harriman lines in this territory, is
working out the details of the coming ex
cursion in connection -with the office of
A. t. Charlton, assistant general passen
ger ajrent for the Northern Pacific and
no detail will be overlooked in making
the excursions of the coming Winter
highly successful.
INSPECTS TRAFFIC SITCATION
J. M. Hannaford, . P. Vice-President,
Coming to Portland.
J. M. Hannaford. second vice-president
of the Northern Pacific, of St. Paul, ac
companied by his wife, will reach Port
land tomorrow morning from the East.
Mr. Hannaford la in charge of traffic for
the Hill line, and while here he will look
over the local traffic situation as it is
affected by the opening of the North
Bank road.
Freight for Portland over the North
ern Pacific no longer moves by the
roundabout route of Puget Sound. In
stead of hauling It over the Cascade
range, it Is aent down the Columbia In
long trains, from Pasco. The Great
Northern too. Is making preparations to
handle all Its freight by the new road
from Pasco to Portland, instead of over
the O. R. & N. line on the south bank
from Spokane, as at present. The new
routing of freight from the East to
Portland by the Hill lines will result In
a big saving In operating expenses. In
'stead of having heavy grades to over
come on the west end of the journey, the
new road offers an easy down grade all
the way from Pasco.
COM FTAINT ' ABOUT BEXXT
BEXTOX BRICK IX SEATTLE.
Of Interest to People in Portland
AVho Rave Given the Paving
Conditions Thought.
Tho following extract Is taken from an
article published in The Seattle Daily
Times, Friday, November 13:
Delivery of imperfect brick by the
Denny-Renton Clay & Coal Company
on the four paving contracts on (Jueen
Anno Hill Is given as an excuse for the
unusual delay in pushing through these
improvements, and reports from Inspectors
that the brick was not fit for street gut
ters led Acting City Engineer D. W. Mc
Morris to ask the company to send its
own men to the work to cull out the brick
that was not regarded as suitable for
such work, with the result that the in
spectors of the brick company culled out
60 per cent of one delivery. Inspectors
of the city reported that in their opinion
at least 70 pjr cent of the brick was not
fit for street work.
"Failure of the company to deliver sult
ablo brick when needed." McMorris said
today, "has led us to incorporate in all
new calls for bids an alternative proposi
tion calling for either brick or concrete
gutters. The Denny-Renton Company
charge K0 a thousand for the best pav
ing brick. Inferior brick often comes
from kilns conrainlng a large amount of
the first grade product, due in most cases
to Imperfect burning. On some streets
where the traffic is not heavy some of
the poorer quality brick is sometimes
used, and especially is this the case where
property owners Insist that the work be
rushed through with what material is
obtainable.
