run POWER HOUSE
Officials Will Bejrfn Actual Work cn j
Plant as Soon as Walla Walla
Grants Franchise.'
Promoters of the Washington-Ore
goa Traotion company are fast com'
plotiog plans for actoal construction
work ou the immense power boase to
he constructed on the upper Walla
Walla river about eight miles above
the present power bouse of tbe North
west Gas aud Eleotrio company, asys
the Walla Walla Union.
All that is holding tbe work back
now is the action of tbe city oounoil in
granting a fianobise allowing tbe
company to operate and maintain a
power station in Walla Walla.
Tbe franchise was introduced at tbe
last meeting of tbe oonnoil Monday
night, and read through its drat read
ing. It was then referred to the coun
cil as a whole, to be acted upon finally
at an adjourned meeting to be held
next Tuesday night. That tbe fran
chise will be grunted seems to be the
general opinion of those who were
present at the last meeting of tbe
couuoil and held arguments, made be
fore that body.
Realizing that such a power bouse
situated in close proximity to this city
will revolutionize tbe lighting aud
power problem, which is now such an
important factor in the city's affairs,
it oan bardly be doubted that favor
able aotion will be taken by tbe coun
cil wben that body meets to aot on tbe
proposition finally.
Tbe Washington-Oregon Traotion
company is a oouoeru beine promoted
by local men who are among the most
substantial business promotres in the
city. They have beeu working on a
sewer plant, and subsequently an eleo
trio railroad, for several mouths and
are just now getting into a position
where actual work oan be started.
Tbe site for tbe new power honse is
said to be one of the most advantageous
plaoee on tbe Walla Walla river,
where an immense and tremendous
fall oan be maintained at a compar
atively small cost.
