Electric Company to Spend $4,000,000 Construction t of a $4,000,000 hydro electric power plant by the Northwestern Eiectric company of Portland, to commence in the near future, has been announced here by L. T. Merwin, vice-president and general manager of the company. The plant will be one of the largest and most complete in j the west and will increase the available horsepower of the. company from 53,0o0 to 93,000. A coucrete dam 140 feet high and 490 feet long will be con structed in the north fork of the Lewis river, two miles south of the Yale bridge, and eight miles northeast of Amboy, Wash. Water will be impounded in a reservoir which will extend for three miles behind the dam, and will be led through caterpillar gates set in concrete through two penstocks to the power house. "We have had holdings at this point for 14 years," Mr. Mer win said. "Recently we have Deen doing considerable engirt eering work and already have spent $150,000 on the 'project. "The project was warranted by the fact that our load has' been growing rapidly in past months and our faith in the industrial development of the Columbia district is so firm that we feel justified in anticipating that de velopment and making prepar ations to meet the coming demand for added power facil ities." The Northwestern company has bad water rights on the Lewis river for some time, and has had a preliminary permil from the Federal Power Com mission to develop the powti facilities of the stream. Development of' the 'project will also necessitate construction of a large power plant to house the two 15,000 kilowatt turbo generators' which will be installed immediately upon completion of the dam. A third generator wi be added when consumptio warrants. Three plants are now operated by the Northwestern Electric Company. One, a hydro electric plant, is located on the White Salmon, and develops 20,000 horsepower: and others are steam plants in Portland, used generally for emergency opera' tion.
