I - A I . I ii, it, t . tf. Jill !
iraei oy me asco rv wreuuuiv at mining
Company, of The Dalles, for the 00 D-
struction of a h vdro-electric power plant
' at White River Falls, has comuieiiced
operations. It has fifty men em ployed
on the head works, and nut the poles fur
trantmiusiori line partly set. The falls
1 iu White Liver are 112 feet high. They
I are situated between Tygh Valley ami
Shearer Bridge, thirty-five miles from
j The Dalles. J he contract calls for the
construction of siatiuns on White River
and at The Dalles, and for the erection
of w.res for the transmission of the elec
tricity generated ; alto for supplying and
installing all water wheels, dynamos,
transformers, etc., ttie whole to be com
pleted and ready for operation by Sep
tember 1st.
The head works consist of a dam across
White Hiver a short distance above the
falli, an intake, trench and tunnel for a
wooden stave conduit fttl inches in diam
eter, and I860 teei long, to Convey the
water to trie wheels in the station below
the tails, giving a fall of 180 bet. The
station will be ot nituonry or concrete
:!.'ixi-" feet with an iron irus roof, tire
proof and indestructable, and ,ike every
thing ahout the plant, of the latest and
motl improved style. The waterw heels
are ol the type -nown as the "impulse
wheel," ami Will he connected direct to
the generators. They have bucket
Wand the periphery, into which the
water from the cmduit passes through
nozEles. There will be two ftOO K. W.
generator sets in this station, which will
generate electricity at 1800 volts, which
by passing through transformers, will be
"stepped" to 38,000 volts, and under this
"pressure" will he transmitted over
three bare No. 8 copper wires to The
Dalles, where it will pass through trans
formers and be "stepped" down to any
desired "pressure." The generating
station will supply about 1000 horsepow
er ol electricity.
The largest consumer of this current
will be the new flouring mill being built
by the Wasco Warehouse ,x Muling Co. I
The company is investing 140,000 in a
mill of the latest and most improved
style. It will he operated by electricity.
About :U0-horsepower will lie needed for
this purpose. The steam plant which
operates the elect ric light works at The
Dalles, owned iiy the same company,
will he shut down, and the plant will be
operated by electricity. The company
will also furnish electricity
for private
or municipal lighting or com merciai
power.
When completed, this will be the
longest electric power transmission line
in the Northwest. It will prove very
beneficial to the iuteres tH of The Oalles.
