Will describe plants ,a in lecture tonjght Steam Power No ; More Expen- sive Than WatoVpower, in J the Lohg Run. 1 v w. ii Crawford, manager of the Portland office of Chas. C. Moore & Co., engineers of San iFrancisco, was in Springfield this morning Inspecting the plants of tho Dooth-Kelly Lum- ber company and of the Oregon Power company, and securing from W. L. McCulloch, chief en gineer in charge of tho plant here data in regard to the power plant, its equipment and output. Mr. Crawford is to address stu dents of the Oregon Agricultur al college in the engineering de partment, this evening and he wanted to have late information. "The power plant and sawmill here, with their exchange of fuel for power, It seems to me is an Ideal situation,' said Mr. Craw ford, 'hese plants, here are so modem and so admirably fitted together that I believe they will, serve as a model for many u.ch. plants. In Oregon, ,1am going t9. describe this' installation here in a'-taiic which I shaUgjvejtonlgbt, :tm 'eWeeriRgt uitKKti Cor- ValliS;'' Mr. Crawford went on to state the efficiency of the steam pow erer electrical plants and said that the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, which has large power plants with both steam and wafer power, has found that the steam plants are slightly less oxpensicc to operate than the water power plants. The hydro-electric plants have to be located at a considerable distance from the places in which the power is to be used, necessitating expensive trans mission lines. Interest on the in vestment and upkeep of the long lines equals or exceeds the cost of fuel. Mr. Moore, head of. Mr. Craw ford's company, .is the president df the Panama Exposition. placed on the trackings about the mill and other remodeling done. - This mill is one of the. most modern in the state, being some what similiar to tho model mill of tho Booth-Kelly company at Springfield. It is almost entire ly electrically operated, and the lumber Is handled by an electric overhead monorail system. The Fischer Lumber company with a mill at Marcola on tho Mohawk river, only a few miles from the Mabel mill, this week obtained the contract to furnish 310,000 feet of lumber for tho Salt Lake baseball park, to be constructed at once for the new league team.
