ELECTRIC LIGHT Ai POWER II NEW ilGAli DISTRICT
Echo, Hermlston and Umatilla are and In operation before next summer.
lie aiMo najs ineir estimates snow
nil soon to have electric lights, ac
cording to an announcement made
this morning by Attorney J. T. Hln
kle. Mr. HInklo says that O. D. Teal,
Col. H. O. Newport, Ross Newport
and himself have formed a company
for building ditches, and Installing
electric power plants on the Umatilla
river near Hermlston. Not only has
the company been formed, but the
right of way has been secured for two
power ditches Immediately west of
Hermlston and the actual worg of
elltch construction has been started.
The locations for the ditches were
mare six months ago under the name
of the U. & M. Development com
pany and the reason that work was
started Immediately upon the com
pletion of the new organization was
because the time limit for beginning
work had almost expired.
Hlnkle says the work on the ditch
es will be rushed as rapidly as pos
slhle and that they will be complet-
they can develop fiOO horse power at
these points.
If this amount of power is devel
oped It will be sufficient not only to
furnish electric lights and power for
the towns of Herniiston, Echo and
Umatilla, but It will also make pos
sible and practicable a small electric
railway system, tapping the very cen
ter of that rich Irrigation territory.
Tho water rights have been se
cured so os not to conflict with ony
others. The water will be taken out
of the Umatilla river just west of
Hermlston and will be tho drainage
from the different Irrigation systems.
Tho locations are below the last of the
spillways for the government pro
ject will bo so situated that they
will get the benefit of the drainage
from the Fttrnlsh-Coe and Hlnkle
projects. After It Is used, the water
will again be dropped Into the Uma
tilla river Just above the Irrlgon dam
ed and the power plants established so' as not to Interfere with the Irri
gon and Brownell ditches.
Hlnkle says the estimates, which
have been made by men of undoubted
ability, show that water sufficient to
develop the 500 horse power will be
secured in tbis manner.
The announcement will be balled
with delight by residents of the three
towns named for the need of electric
lights has long been felt. The com
pany will also be In a position to fur
nish cheap light and power for the
hundreds of farmers who will soon
be ready for It in that vicinity.
Tho Newport construction com
pany Is attending to the work of
Dulldlng the ditches, while HInklo and
Teal are looking after the matters of
the rlgh of way and franchises.
It seems that this proposition has
been in contemplation for several
months, but nothing has been said
and everything done so quietly that
the work of building the ditches was
actually started before the general
public knew that it was even thought
of.
White Plains. N. Y., Sept. 21. The
