Three Power Sites Located on
Umatilla River by Wenaha
Water and Power Co,
MAY NOT BAR CITY FROM
USING IUVEK WATER
Tliroe Sites Located Cover Practically
All or tlio Available Power Sites
Between tlio Forks of tlio Final ilia
and Bingham Spring Station on
tlio O. It. & X. I'matllltt River Is
Now "Coppered" to It Headwaters
May Hold All the Water In the"
River Perjietually.
Thin forcnnnn tho Wenaha Water
& Power company filed upon three
power sites on the Umatilla river and
by doing so they have apparently ap
propriated the river from the point a
short distance above Ulngham sta
tion. Just what the motives of the new
company uny be Is not .yet known
for the Incorporators seem retkient.
However, It Is now understood that
the cmpany Is not seeking to keep
the city from securing a water sup
ply from the river. Whether or not
they wish to bar the city from de
veloping a municipal water power re
mains to be seen.
Notices of the appropriation of 10,
000 cubic Inches of water, under six
Inch pressure, wcr posted In three
different places along the river by J.
A. Horle, president of tho company,
to the effect that the notices had
been posted.
The right to take 10,000 Inches of
water from the river at any one or
all of three different places Is taken
by the company. Tlie first point of
diversion is near the northeast cor
ner of the northwest quarter of the
northeast quarter of section 21. town
ship three, north of range 37. This
Is at the point of convergence of the
north nnd south forks.
The second point where water may
be diverted Is near the center or
the northeast quarter of section 17,
township three, north of range 37.
This Is a short distance above the
Wenaha springs resort. The third
point of diversion is near the north
east corner of the northwest quarter
of section 21, township three, north
of range 36. This is a short distance
below the resort.
The proposed power plant location
Is In section 23, township three, north
of range 36, a point a few miles above
Bingham station. The right of way
for a race from any of the points of
diversion to this power plant Is also
claimed by the company.
Hlvcr Is Now "Coppered." .
When the Wenaha power company
filed upon 10,000 Inches of wnter this
morning the Umatilla river became
all taken so far as water nnd power
purposes are concerned. The right
to the river above the convergence
of the two forks is already held by a
company In which the Salings and
the Toung estate of Weston are the
owners.
Seemingly these two companies now
have nn absolute right to the river
and they can hold their rights al
most perpetually by renewing their
filings when tho time expires.
