Announcement was made yesterday
that right of way for a power home,
flume and water privileges on the
South Fork of the Walla Walla river,
several mile above the present power
plant of the Northwestern Ga and
Electric company, have been secured
by the trustee of the Washington and
Oregon Traction company, a syndi
cate of local capitalists, which intend
to build a'5000-horse power plant In
the near future, says the Walla Wal
la Union. Forest Supervisor J. M.
Schmiti returned yeaterday from a
everal day' trip of Inspection of the
vicinity where the new plant will be
located, and while there he approved
the application of the company ask
ing for a flume right of way through
the Wenaha national reserve.
The new company ha been organ
ised for some time, and plan have
been In process of formation for sev
eral weeks to erect a power plant on
the Walla Walla river. When com
pleted the power house of the Wash
ington and Oregon Traction company
will be capable of generating 5000
horse power, and will represent an ex
penditure of approximately a half mil
lion dollars. The promoters of the
new power plant intend to furnish
power for and operate the future elec
tric lines of the Walla Walla valley
and surrounding territory. Rights of
way have already been secured by the
company for a roadbed to the summit
of the Blue mountains about 30 miles
distant from Walla Walla.
Although It Is not definitely known
just what the next move will be, those
who are In a position to know say
the line will probably be extended to
the Wallowa valley on the one side of
the Walla Walla, and to the Columbia
river on the other, thus placing east
ern Washington and Oregon In direct
communication with tide water.
Tremendous Force.
Forest Supervisor Schmltx, when
speaking of the site for the proposed
new plant, said yesterday afternoon
that in his judgment the Washington
and Oregon Traction company would
have a much better located power
plant than that of the Northwestern
touch with Seattle and Tacoma. It Is
planned for the road to have a max!
mum grade of only four per cent
The road westerly from tne Euston
bridge takes the northeast bank of
the river; It then skirts Kachelu lake
and then over the summit of the Cas
cades through the Snoqualmle pass to
Seattle. This will be a most beautiful,
scenic route, and when completed will
afford automoblllsts one of the grand
est trips found upon the American
continent.
Many eastern Washington residents
who own autos and there are many
of them will no doubt take advan
tage of this route to make a run over
to Seattle and Tacoma In the summer
months.
This highway, It Is estimated, will
cost over 1100,000, and It will be
worth every cent of It In more ways
than one.
FLEET BRINGS MONEY.
Farmers Prof by tlio Visit of the
Battleships.
It Is estimated that the farmers of
the Pacific northwest have profited
to the extent of $1,500,000 through
the visit of the battleship fleet to this
coast, says the Coast Magazine. Score
of foreign i steamships were sent to
this coast .with fuel for the fleet of
Admiral Evans, and found it impos
sible to get anything but. a wheat
charter for the return trip. As a re
sult of the sudden Increase In the
charter market, rates tumbled harder
than exporters have known In year.
Six months ago steamship charters
were being made on the basis of 36
to 40 shillings for a trip to Europe. A
few days ago charters were made on
a basis of 22 shillings 8 pence for
steamships and 20 shillings for sail
ing vessels.
This slump In charter rates saved
the farmers of eastern Washington
11.500,000. Grain exporters point out
that they have been paying to the
grain raisers the total amount of the
saving In shipping charge and cite
the fact that the difference between
Chicago and Seattle grain prices was
never o small.
TO VIEW THE FLEET.
American Battleship Fleet Will Be on
Puget Sound From May 21 to 26.
On account of the American battle
ship fleet celebration at Seattle on the
Puget Sound, the O. R. &, N. c6m
pany will sell tickets to Portland at
the rate of 19 15 for the round trip.
The dates of sale at Pendleton are
May 21. 22. 25 and 26 with return
limit 14 days from date of sale.
Ticket from Portland to Seattle
can be purchased on the sawe low
basis from here to Portland and thou
sands are taking advantage of this
opportunity to see the great battle
ship fleet in the waters of the sound.
For further particulars Inquire F. J.
Quintan, agent O. R. & N., Pendle
ton, er William McMurray, general
Gas and Electric coirpany. and On0
.which W(?a!! not be so dlfleuK to. 'nissenger agent, Portland
construct. The application filed with
Mr. Schmltx by the 'company for the
flume right of way places the Intake
some five or six milts a,h8ve the site
pf the proposed plant, Inside the We
naha national forest reserve. The
new power house will be located sim
ilar to the one now operated by the
Northwestern Gas and Electric com
pany, being situated, as It will, at the
foot of a bluff on the side of which
will be an Immense reservoir. A huge
steel pipe, capable of resisting a tre
mendous pressure, will carry the wa
ter from the reservoir down several
hundred feet of steel piping to the
wheels in the power house, where the
mighty force gathered In the fall will
create at least 5000 horse power.
Begin Work at Once.
Members of the company have been
anxiously awaiting the approval of
Mr. Schmltz of the application for
rights of way through the forest for
several weeks past, and it Is believed
that aV-tual work on the new power
house and flume foundation will be
started at once. To anyone who has
seen the present power plant on the
Walla Walla river an adequate Idea of
the new plant can be obtained when
It is stated that the capacity of the lat
ter will be Just twice that of the for
mer.
With such an Immense amount of
power it is probable that the company
will not only build a road connecting
the interior of eastern Oregon and
Washington with Columbia river
points, but that branches will be built
In other directions and eventually the
whole of the Walla Walla valley and
country tributary will be literally
gridlroned with ertrlc roa'ls. What
value these roads have to a country
can already be seen In the wonderful
change and improvement which has
takn place In the rountry between
Walla Walla and Milton since the In
auguration of the Walla Walla Valley
Traction company's line. Land values
have rlsfn to a marked dopree. and
the whole country has appeared In
an entirely different aspect. With an
electric line connecting the Wallowa
and Grand Ronde valleys with Walla
Walla and the intermediate country
Improved to a hlfth state, it Is esti
mated fhat the products of the coun
try will be increased many fold.
The new enterprise is being finan
ced entirely by local capitalists, and
Is under the direction and manage
ment of a board of trustees composed
of E. S Isaacs, Max Baumelster, C.
K. Ho'.loway, Allan H. Reynolds. Sam
uel Drumheller, John Smith, W. A
Rltz and John L. Sharpsteln.
ROAD ACROSS WASHINGTON'.
Stale HlL-lmay Will Run From Earn
to WcM Border.
The coast Magazine of Seattle says
of the state highway being built across
Washington:
A wagon road Is now under con.
tructlon across the state of Wash
lngton from east to west, and a large
number of surveyors are now at work
In the Cascade mountains laying out
the line along which It will pass.
When completed it will be one of
the best mountain roads In the nortn
west. It will be a direct route from
Ellensburg to Puget, sound, and will

r.lSIUO.v LETTER. 4
New York, May 14. Many well
dressed women, who must yet econo
mized In expenditure, make a practice
of carrying out a one or two color
scneme in their wardrobe of the sea
son. Thus, we will suppose that last
summer' clothes carried out the
Idea of green; many of these clothes
are still good and with some renew
ing can be made to do much service.
This season's color Is to be brown,
which will agree with the green and
combine well with other colors and
what may be chosen next year. In
this wa much worry, care "and an
noyance 1 lost and one Is not alway
fretting for fear that their outfit will
be a hodge podge; for If all provld
Ings have been bought with the re
membrance that they must harmonlzo
or contrast with green and brown and
these peculiar shades of green and
brown, there will be little chance for
crudeness.
The tailored suit of last season was
a covert suiting In olive green and
under the cleaner's and tailor' hands
became practically a new gown for
morning and business wear. With
these were worn in the morning shirt
waists of the tailored type made of
fine white linen decorated with tucks
or applied bands and fine stltchings.
These shirt waists were made more
decorative by the addition of em-
oroiaered or striped colors either of
the turn over or stock variety showing
green and brokn in the tsrlpea or em
broideries. Plain white belts or a
colored one In leather would be worn.
The shoes and stockings and spats
were in brown, but the gloves very
nearly matched the gown In color.
The hal used with this costume was
a modified sailor in brown and band
ed with a wreath of foliage and over
the left side flowed a green feather.
A more elaborate costume was con- I
structed of brown pongee, ornamented
with bands apd Inserts of the ponget
done with green silk embroidery, and
filet lace over green silk for the un
derblouse. Although a hat had been
procured for this gown also the first
one described could well be worn
with it on rainy or dull days. The
dress hat was of cream lnce straw,
trimmed with pink roses, long white
aigrett and twisted tulle bands,
which last surrounded the brim, mak
ing It much higher than it really was.
A pretty dress of last season was
renewed by using a new undersllp of
green and brown plaid, which showed
plainly through the organdy of white
printed with pink and green foliage.
New ribbons for sash and bows
were bought showing Dresden colors.
Voile In a champagne shade made
over a green silk constructed by the
princess mode trimmed on the front
panel the armholes and neck with
beautiful lace embroidered In colors,
while the yoke and sleeves were cream
chiffon. A beautiful embroidered belt
pr rather girdle, was pf handsome em
broidery' showing many different
shades In Its coloring.
With this outfit were many white
suits and party dresses, etc., and a
shirtwaist suit was a white cotton
voile with brown, another In brown
and white and grey check of mercer
ized gingham. A baby princess was
of cotton rajah spotted with brown
spots about the size of a ten cent
piece, the ground color being the
natural pongee shade. The under
blouse was of coarse cream lace trim
med with bands of lace and the edges
of the gown proper were decorated
with flat bands of brown silk.
A new walking skirt was made
from a chiffon panama having a hair
line of silk thread a shade darker than
the goods.
