The filings were made at Nes Perce, county seat of Lewis j county yesterday. The power site 4s the same as was located by the Lewis ton & Southeastern Klectrlc railway company when the construction of the i rlectric road from iwision to uran&e- vllle was being agitated several years The'power elte Is pronounced by en- i gineers to be the best available in the i northwest, the course of the nvef at tills point being such that the driving i of a 400- foot tunnel through a nar row rldse would provide a tall of 200 feet, emptying the water again In the river at a point about seven miles be low the point of intake. The plans .provide for the driving of . a . tunnel througkthe .ridge- that, -will iarry sufficient power to develop 40.000 horsepower. Further development will be had by the driving of a second tun nel' or the enlargement of -the original. The completion of the plans will de velop the 125,000 .horsepower at' a cost of 24 per horsepofer, these estimates providing for the construction of the '.'00 foot dam across Salmon river, the driving of the necessary tunnels, the in stallation -ettbe. electrical equipment i and the epnstnictlon ofi he transmis sion lines.
