it Is a tumultuous stream or inugn
Ing, leaping water, Hashing and
Bparkllng In tho sunlight and dark
ening In tho shade, tossing its mano
of snow, foaming flakes over tho
igranlto rockB and lichen boulders
in resentment of tho restraint that
Jmpedes its progress and Unit oft
times holds it back in bubbling, eddy
ing bays where lurk the speckled
trout over the golden gravel.
Tho people of Ashland delight to
explain to tho visitor how happily tho
town is situated, and point with prldo
to Ashland Creek, the finest Btreatu
dn tho Siskiyou range; for this llttlo
stream not only provides pure, whole
somo water to drink, but nlso fur
nishes power for street and domestic
lighting and such mechanical pur
poses as may bo desired.
Thoro can be no pollution of tho
water since tho timbered canyon
through which it flows is included
in tho Crater Lako National Forest
'Reserve, as well aB in large tracts
of land In Ashland Canyon owned by
tho city itself. There is no city in
tho West so completely possessed of
its water supply and water power as
1b tho city of Ashland. Tho forest
reservation and tho lands owned by
tho city lnsuro the preservation of
tho sylvan beauty and primitive wlltl
U0B3 along tho regloiiB of the head
waters and along tho courso of Ash
land Creek.
Although tho city of Ashland has
used tho waters of Ashland Creek ns
a wator supply for several years, it
haB only been threo or, four years
filnco tho city decided to own and op
erate a hydro-electric plant of its
own, using tho falling waters of tho
creek as tho source of energy. For
many years no one seemed to rcnllzo
tho wonderful power that might bo
An engineer visiting this very un
ique llttlo plnnt would doubtless find
fault with the single unit construc
tion. As a rule, tho single unit docs
not give tho guarantee of continuous
service which ono would like to have.
However, tho pcoplo of Ashland ex
pect to supplement tho present pow
er plant with another of about 200
horsepower, making a total of COO
horsepower snatched from tho little
stream. This is how they expect to
do It.
When tho water, which rushes
down the steel pipe, has spent its en
orgy on tho water wheel it drops
through n tall raco and a part of it
flows into a nearby settling baoln
whence it flows to tho city In n twen-ty-'four-lhch
steel pipe line, furnish
ing the water supply of tho city. Ab
only a Binnll part of tho water Is act
ually used for tho houses, strcots and
lawns, tho rest of the water flows
merrily onward down tho canyon. A
measuring weir Indicates tho amount
of water which actually goes to waste.
It Is proposed to carry this excess of
water through a wood-stnvo plpo lino
along the edge of tho canyon, and
droy it through another steel pipe.
Here another power house will bo
built on similar lines as tho ono al
ready described, and 200 horsepower
more will bo nt tho city's command.
Ilesldcs, Increasing tho total output
of the Btream, thoro will bo n guar
antee of continuous. sorvlco ovon if
ono of tho units should bo compelled
to closo down. But to bo sure that
power sorvlco will bo continuous, tho
city has arranged with tho company
that has been supplying tho power,
to glvo them continuous sorvlco in
case anything should happen to tho
municipal plant.
It may bo said that Nnturo has
placed within enjy reach of Ashland
everything that goes to mnko lifo tru
