Electric Power from Siletz.
W. W. Vaughn, president of the
Vaughn Construction Company of
Detroit, Michigan, is in Lincoln
county investigating the feasibility
of constructing and maintaining an
electric light and power plant at
the Agency.
Mr. Vaughn was at Siletz Satur
day looking over the possibility of
power and is greatiy impressed
with the outlook. His id&a is to
either dig a canal at the Agency
and change the course of the river
from the big seven-mile bend in
the river through the canal, which
would be about a half mile long,
causing a hundred or more feet fall
to the water, or to dam the river
and install power stations. The
power Avould then be transmitted
to Toledo and Newport for electrical
lighting and power purposes.
"Mr. Vaughn was in Toledo Fri
day, Sunday and Monday forenoonun(ay
and has since been at Newport
learning the sense of the people in
regard to the amount of power that
would be used. If business enough
to justify the outlay is assured there
is no doubt but that Mr.' Vaugh n
will come here to do business.
The gentleman realizes the coun
try is new and that the demand for
power is limited, yet he sees a great
; future for this part of the state and
hj3 company wants to get in on the
j ground floor.
Mr. Vaughn is also figuring on
waterworks, ice plant, wooden pipe
factory and other enterprises if his
company decides to come here.
j Mr. Vaughn has personal reasons
why he wants to. come to Lincoln
county. He says he is looking for
1 a good climate to live in. He is
mg tn-ed of the extreme hot and
cold weather of Michigan and is
Pleased with the mild cl5m-
