Russian HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON KNOW TIMBER BUSINE88. POWER FROM MORGAN LAKE. Men Coming From Middle Western States. There is indication of a large immi gration to Oregon this spring from the Middle Western States, of a nature that will be very important in tfie development of the timber resources of the sate. C. H. Stewart of Albany, one of a number of people interested in timber claims, the applications for which were suspended because en tered in the wrong district, has been corresponding with the holders of sus pended claims, with a view to con certed action in the matter of getting their applications reinstated. A number of people in the Middle Western States are included in the list of holders of suspended applica tions. These people have been com municated with by Mr. Stewart, and a great many of them have written letters to the effect that they will be here this spring to assist in looking the matter up. During the course of the corres pondence letters have come from lum bermen in Wisconsin, Michigan, Min nesota. and the two Dakotas to the effect that they will remove to Ore gon to reside and invest their means in timber and the necessary mills to put it on the market. This will be done both because of the great op portunities offered in Oregon, and be cause of the rigorous weather that has prevailed in their home states during the present winter. They are all substantial men who have had experience in the lumber business, and have been on the ground in Oregon, and are conversant with the conditions here. They will come here seeking a new field for opera tions, where there are abundant re sources and a climate in which life can be enjoyed and work continued the year round. La Grande May Soon Hava Suburban Electric Llnea. La Grande.—Morgan Lake, situated about two miles above La Grande, haa been thoroughly tested as to the amount of power and water that can be obtained from it. The power will be used for different Important things for the benefit of La Grande and the community. More power will be used for the electric light plant and to run a motor line to Hot Lake and other points in the county. The engineer reported to the officials of the electric light company that their plan was entirely feasible and practicable. The plans call for a frac tion over two miles of pipe and the power obtained through the pipe will be equal to 500 horsepower. The res ervoir when filled will contain water sufficient to furnish this amount of power for a period of one year, with out receiving any additional supply. In other words, when the lake is filled it will contain enough water to sup ply water for 500-horsepower. The lake is situated 1100 feet above the power station, which, according to the plans of the engineer, will be located near the site of the Old Town flouring mill. Many LAWS TO BE VOTED UPON.
