Resources of Can-
trafOregon.
: Organization . of the Wasco
County Electric & Power Com
pany was effected in this city
on Monday evening a few hours
4 ' ' ter a large delegation of Port-
Viid Dcooteand other persons in-
t s-c;.tcd in the movement arriv-
V-U A a .proposed the company
will invade "the Deschutes and
John Da Valleys with an elec-
' trie line that will commence in
this city going south to Fossil,
then eo to Antelope, Madras and
Kinmf . Hrnnrhon will hA hunt tn
Ho?, ard and Dayville. At the
iii': LiJH liuiu in iiua tujr it was
decided to commence getting the
right-of-way at once and con
struction work will begin as soon
as possible from this place to
Fossil, ars to be run first by
means of a donkey engine. At
the same time big water plants
for generating electricity will be
A A t A 1 X t .
teirucieu on me uescnuies
and John Day rivers.
The capital stock of the .com
pany is named at $3,000,000, and
as several offers have already
been made by Eastern capitalists
for the floating of the $15,000,000
in bonds, there is no doubt but
that the work will be carried on
to early completion.
The main object which the
company has in view and which
will be the one important factor
for the building of the road, is
the use to which it will be put in
shipping out the ore and coal in
which the company is interested
in the great central Oregon coun
try. A smelter is to be installed
at the mouth of Trout creek,
where the ore will be gotten ready
for shipment. The coal beds
south of Fossil will also furnish
a share of work for the road.
The building of this line will
build up Condon and vicinity to
such an extent as it has never
been before and will develop the
vn.nr. wmrorv south which has
- - F ' ' ------ -
had practically no outlet for its
untold wealth and resources.
The fact that Condon is to be
made the starting point as well
as the headquarters for this large
enterprise will mean the greatest
boom that this town has ever ex
perienced and will be the making
of a city twice as large within a
few years.
The promotors who are heading
the movement are Oregon men,
with the exception of C. D.
Charles, who is from the East
They are all men who have been
watching the tremendous growth
and strides of this section of the
state and know the future of
such a venture.
The officers of the company
elected here Monday evening are:
,G. S. Carpenter, the Fossil bank
er, president; Dr. H. I. Keeney,
Portland, 1st vice-pres. ; R. L.
4 irHi I'amJam ,i . .

of the bride. The young people
are well known throughout the

many friends in wishing them
success through life's journey.

was too good for the Grangers.
