The Coast Power Co. plant of this
city is still in the business of legiti­
mate expansion of its local and other
territory. Seen regarding reported
improvements, present and prospect­
ive.
C. J. Edwards, president of
thv company, stated that the object
of the extensions of the company had
a double purpose, that of supply­
ing light and furnishing power for
manufacturing plants in this count.
To that end. the plant is being en­
larged. Two weeks ago the company
placed an order for a new steam tur­
bine of 1500 kilowe.ta capacity, which
it is expected will be installed about
the middle of the coming August. The
company has also received back from
the Whitney mills at Garibaldi a
larg> steam turbine which is now in
operation at the local plant. With
the new turbine the capacity of the
plant will be increased to 2400 kilo-
wats, and a further reinforcement of
600 kilowats from the Whitney mills,
will by the midde of August, give the
plant a total capacity of 3000 kilo-
wau
Besides the Tillamook service, the
company is serving Bay City. Gari­
baldi, the Rockaway beaches and
Brighton with light Having bought
the plants at Nehalem and Wheeler,
the company plans extension of its
wires to both those places this sum­
mer, and will serve both places.
Two new boilers were added to the
plant last winter and it is planned to
increase the efficiency as well ax the
capacity of the plant. The installa­
tion of two super-heaters further in­
creases the power by heating the
steam after it is made, giving addi-
tional power to the turbines. Steam is
generated at 200 pound» pressure and
these new super-heaters are for the
purpose of increasing the tempera­
ture of the steam.
*
.Since the piant was taken over by
the Edwards nine years ago, the
Coast Power Co. has become one of
the foremost institutions in the coun-
ty, and still the watch word is pro-
Cress ion. That it will greatly aid
nev. manufacturing enterprises in this
county in the matter of light and
power goes without question, and it
is in that way that it has become, and
will continue to be,an important fac­
tor in the development of the county.

A County Organization
For Marketing
It is understood that Tillamook
county is rapidly increasing its lo­
ganberry acreage and it is of furth­
er interest to know that that excel­
lent berry is in its true home over
here where there is plenty of mois­
ture und enough sunshine to give it
the required environment for lirstclass
growth. Perhaps the largest tract in
this county is that owned by W. J.
Reichers and A. W. Bunn of this city.
The orchard is expected to come in­
to full bearing this season, and a
large yield is expected. Last year 27
tons of tine berries were taken from
the vines, most of the product being
processed in this city. It is learned
that niuny small tracts have been set
out this spring and that the acreage
will Htill further be increased from
now on as the experimental stage in
culture in this county has been pass­
ed, and it has been found that the
climatic conditions and soil of Till­
amook county is very favorable to
loganberry growth. Of course, the
whole coast section is included in the
above statement. The market, it is
believed, will continue to be good for
this fine lierry, which has come into
almost general use for the purposes
of domestic use, as well as for the
purposes of the use of its juice in
commercial circles.
It is understood that a number of
groweri) will meet soon in this city
and take steps to bring about a coun­
ty organization of loganberry grow­
ers, looking to co-operative market­
ing of that protduct.

The distance being improved is about

division of road will be well improv­

by fall.
Negotiations are pending with the
Southern Pacific and the state for a
county right of way from Jetty creek
to Brighton, and when that is settled
favorably to the county, the beach
highway will be completed from Till­
amook to Nehalem, or Wheeler as
the traveller may elect.
One pier of the new drawbridge on
the Wheeler-Nehalem road is finished
and work is now being done on the
remaining pier. When the road be­
tween the two points ¡ b rocked, that
stretch of highway will become avail­
able for travel. The usual Bpring re­
pair work on roads in Mr. Cain’s
district is being attended to at this
time. It is expected that the roads
up there will soon be in good con­
dition for the summer tourist travel
which it is believed will be heavy this
season.
