THIRD EXGDTE FOR WORK.
Tracklayers 'Are Now Approaching
6andy River and Expect to Have
1a.bors Finished by May 20.
Developments on the new Mount
Hood electric line beteween Portland:
and the Bull Run River have necessi
tated tbe purchase of the third locomo
tive for use by the construction depart
ment. The engine, which was secured
from the Southern Pacific Company, was
delivered yesterday and will be placed
In commission today.
The first engine that the company
purchased Is now being; used In exca
vating; the slides that the recent rains
brought down from the high hills east
of Gresham. covering; the tracks at
some places to a depth of from 15 to
20 feet. An additional week will be
required In completing this work.
With the bridge across the Sandy
River nearly completed, the end of con
struction work on the new line is Tn
sight. The contractors promise to have
the bridge open for tracklaylns; early
next week. This Is the only thing; now
that Is preventing; the connection of tbe
entire line from Gresham to the site of
the big; power-house at the Junotlon of
the Sandy and Bull Tiun Rivera The
structure, which is 1600 feet longr. con
sists of three Howe truss spans. Track
layers now are approaching; the Sandy
River and as soon as they can enter the
bridge will start to place rails across it.
They expect to have the entire line com
pleted by May 20.
On account of the Increasing work in
all departments of the Mount Hood en
terprise the railroad work has been
segregated from the light and power
department. E. R. Ernsberger, who has
had charge of much construction on the
new line, hereafter will be general man
ager of the railway department, while
K. W. Bonness will exercise similar
jurisdiction over the light and power
field. C B. Smith, of the engineering
firm of'Smith, Kerry St Chace. who has
had general charge of the work here,
will continue to be general manager. .
The big power plant at the Junction
of the Bull Run and Sandy Rivers,
which now is under construction, will
not be completed until late In Fall, prob
ably not until the middle of November.
After the power from that source Is
available the company will be able to
take care of all Its business. Construc
tion of the big reservoir for this plant
has been started by Twohy Bros,
contractors.
Orders for the Installation of a mo
dern interlocking plant at the crossing
of the Troutdale line of the Portland
Railway, Lglht Sz Power Company have
been placed. The plant oonsists of an
eight-lever Saxby & Farmer machine
which Is designed to make crossing ac
cidents impossible.
Temporarily the conductors on Mount
Hood trains will operate the levers,
while the Troutdale cars will be able
to pass through the crossing at any
time as It always will be open for them.
As soon as regular service is inaugu
rated, however, a man will be employed
to remain regularly in the lever-house.
