B p. Josselyn. president of the com

business offers an Inviting field In
which the energy developed on the va
rious Clackamas prbjects can be uti
lised to advantage and the Industries of
Portland and vicinity built an to a more
profitable and more extensive basis.

ply the needs of Portland. Then the
Cazadero plant Was built and eeemed to
add adequate facilities. Now work Is
under way at Klver Mill, where the
third great plant, to be called the Ks
t scad a. will supply S0.000 additional
horsepower. This will be completed Oc
tober 1.
Preliminary work Involving an expen
diture of tnfi.000 has been done en the
Tpper Clackamas power site, three
miles beyond Cazadero and Soon the
construction of a dam will be started
there.
At Oak Grove, where the company
recently took over the property owned
by the Southern Pacific Company.
force of men Is at work constructing
the fifth great dam that will store suf
ficient water behind It to develop prob
ahly 15,000 horsepower of electricity.
This will be the first dam to use the
water of the Clackamas River. The
others In order are the I'pper Chxcka
mas. the Caiadero or River Mill, and
the Oregon City.
In each Instance the hydraulic theory
of power development la employed. Tha
water la caught behind a headgate In
the stream at the (Caiadero property
and led for half a mil through a flume
and ditch to the dam. behind which It
Is stored. Ry allowing It to fall 124
feet to the natural bed of the river a
terrlflo force Is obtained. The force of
this water seeking Its level against the
turbine engines generates the cjirrent.
Water l"d Five Times.
At. the other plants the flume and
ditch are not necessary aa the river
channel Is sufficiently narrow to per
mit the stream Itself te be walled In.
The same-theory of generation Is ap
plieddropping the water against the
turbines. After the .water passes
through the plant It returns to the
stream and Is "picked up" at the next
plant below It. In this way It la used
five times, yet none of It Is lost.
Constructlon-of a power plant sarh as
any one of these Involves much detailed
technical work and years of prelimi
nary labor. On the I'pper Clackamas
site the company already has expended
lioo.OOO, but little Is apparent on the
surface to show for It. Most of this
money haa gone for rock testing and
for cement filling. By means of dia

Its porous nature has been examined
and its capability of holding water has

All thia rock Is of volcanic origin.
Liquid cement by the ton has been
poured Into the openings In the rocks
and by air pressure of 200 pounds per

Sloping Dim Vsrd.
In the construction of the' Estaeada
plant, the Ambursen typeof dam Is
being built. This presents-a -sloping
surface to the bed of the pool of water
formed by the dam. and allows the
weight of water to support It In part.
It has been proved that the same
amount of material will produce mors
efficiency In this kind of a dam than
In the old vertical style.
Modern and aubstantlal construction
is employed In every feature of the
work. President Josselyn la building
for the future. All his dams and
power bouses are of a permanent char
acter. "The Investing public will lace no
money In anything of a temporary
nature." tie declares. "Our stockhold
ers are Investing the company's earn
ings In this project, and they demand
aa much aa anyone that the work be
arranged so that It will give best re
sults." In tha power plants themselves
every detail tends to efficiency at the
expense of Immediate economy. A

INTERESTING HISTORY
IN BULL RUN'S NAMING
Joseph Buchtel Relates Story of How Charles Talbot and Party First
' Came Across Famous River, and What Happened Then.
j; j . ;
BY KUOENE I THORPE.
WITH the near completion of the
second Bull Hun pipeline. It may
be interesting to the people of
Portland to he told who gave the his
toric river Its name, together with
something - of his career and bow he
came td bestow such an undignified
title upon this wonderful stream,
which, for Its unrivaled beauty, should
be entitled to i more romantic and
beautiful name.
There are no records to show who
was the first white man to gase into
Its clear depths, or watch it rushing
and leaping through the rugged gorges
of the Cascade Mountains, but it went
without a name until some time in the
late '60s. when it received Its christen
ing, more as a good Joke than for any
other reason. Tet With its baptismal
heme there came an Idea and a proph
ecy that have long since been realised
in the supply of water to a great city
that Is Inexhaustible and unsurpassed
anywhere in the whole United States.
Charles Talbot, an unpretentious
civil engineer and photographer, who
made his headquarters in Joseph Buch
tel's photograph gallery in Portland,
when the place had less than 10.000
Inhabitants, gave the river Its name,
and urged that It be reserved for the
city's future water supply. He waa
so Insistent on this plan that others
became Interested but nothing was
done uhtll the imperative demands for
better water aroused the people Then
it came about that Talbot's Idea' Was
tJken up, although very few remem
bered JO years sgo that he had
dreamed and prophesied more than two
decades before that the stream he
named was being harnessed at the
cost of millions to furnish bis adopted
city and home with the purest and
clearest liquid that man or beast ever
drank from hydrant or fountain over
to miles from Its source.
Joseph Buchtel. the pioneer pho
tographer. ex-Fire Chief, ex-Pheriff
and a resident of Portland from almost
j.
ie-T h
Its Infancy, was in reminiscent mood
the other day and vividly recalled the
episode that gave the stream its name.
As he remembers, It was In 1887 that
Charles Talbot was sent out with a
small party into the Cascade Moun
tains to make Government surveys. He
penetrated farther eastward toward
iount Hood than any white man had
eier gone before, and was really the
discoverer of the source of the rugged
stream, high up near the everlasting
glacier that carries the snows and Ice
from the western slope of Oregon's fa
mous mountain. There was 'settle
ment or two down near the msuth of
the stream, where a few hardy pio
neers were hewing out homes In the
wilderness, but beyond that for 20 miles
the forest was unbroken. And It wis
near one of these homesteads that the

episode occurred which fastened the
name of Bull Run on the river that is
second in importance only to the other
gneat -waterways that ebb and flow
under the accumulating commerce of
the whole world the Columbia and the
Willamette.
When Talbot and his party were on
their return from the headwaters of
the river they came to one of the.
homesteaders near its mouth, and ill
crossing a small clearing were rather
surprised and put to rout by a ferocious
bull that resented their presence. At
the first demonstration of defiance Tal
bot's companions sought shelter from
a possible onslaught on the part of the
bull, leaving their leader exposed In an
open space to any attack the animal
might see fit to make, and the bull was
hot slow In making up his mind to
give combat to the intruder. So, with
a bellowing challenge, he went straight
ahead toward the foe. intent on de
struction, possibly with the chivalrie
notion that his numerous consorts In
the herd about him needed his protect
ing efforts. Talbot was burdened with
his surveying outfit, but he cast them
to the "winds and sped away the best h
could In an effort to find a safe place
where the horns of the Infuriated bull
would be unable to reach him. After a
mad race down a steep hill and through
tangled brush he rolled over a big log
and found safety under its lee side in
a depression just large enough to ad
mit his body and protect him from the
coming onslaught. He lay there for
an hour or so, until the bull gave up
the hunt and then he crawled out and
rejoined his companions, after regain)
ing his outfit.
. He was made the object of consid
erable ridicule for his undignified re-
treat and flight and the story Was
told at his expense on more than One
occasion after the party returned to
Portland. One local ryhmster made up
a bit doggerel which everybody had In
his mouth for nine flays, each verse
ending with the refrain:
Me threw down his compass, sextant and
Broke down the hill and ran like the dsvll.
' The episode of the surveyor and the
bull gave the river its name by which
it has since been known, and may al
ways be, despite may efforts tQ have it
changed. ' , .
Charles Talbot remained In Portland
until about 20 years ago and lived to
see his dream being realized, for at
that time his idea of a water supply
for Portland from the' little Mountain
river had been taken up and the first
Bull Run pipeline was about to be
laid. Then he went away never to re
turn. He died shortly after In Tacoma.
A few yesrs ago a movement was un
dertaken to build him a monument.
The idea for It originated with Joseph
Buchtel. A few others took it up and
a drawing was made ' by Eugene T.
White. It represented a life-size fig
ure iof Charles Talbot holding out a
cup of water. It was to take the form
of a fountain and was Intended to per
petuate his memory as the man who
gave the river its- name and first urged
that its waters be brought to the city.
The great dream was realized, the idea
bore Its fruit but the fountain was
never erected. '
It is Mr. Buchtel's ambition yet to
build the fountain on the original
plans. He would have the water con
sumers par for it by contributions In
small sums every month at the water
offices as they come to pay their
monthly rates. He believes that a sen
timent could be aroused that would
bring the money in sufficient amount
to accomplish the desired result.
