Candy is located on the beautlfUt
peninsula that is formed by the con-
fluence of the Molalla and william
cite Rivers. Here spreads out "a
rich, alluvial palm of warm soil
peculiarly adapted to gardening and
fruit growing. Towards the east
lies the valley of the Molalla River
breaking through the foothills of
the Cascade Mountains and bor-
dered with a very heavy body of
timber.
Coming Lumber Point.
There are several hundred mil
lion feet of the finest timber in the
world tributary to the Molalla that
will finally be brought out and man
ufactured for the markets of the
world at Candy. When the water
power of the Molalla is fully util-
lied, Candy will be one of the man
ufacturing towns of Oregon. The
raw material of the inexhaustible
forests are bound to be worked uD
here into the manufactured product.
Large Irrigation Enterprise.
When the plans of the Candy
Canal and Irrigation Company are
fully materialized Candy will be the
center of the first irrigation district
in the Willamette Valley Thou.
| sands of acres of fruit and vegetable
lands will be put under ditch. The
possibility of the production of
these fine sandy loan and alluvial
silt lands cannot be oyer-estimated.
They are so easily cultivated and so
perfectly adapted to taking water
that irrigation is bound to be a mar
velous success.
Fine City Water Supply.
The Candy Canal Company is
laying miles of water mains and
within a few months Candy will
have the finest supply of pure spring
water of any city in Western Ore
gon. The springs well up at the
base of the bluff about mile from
the present center of the city. They
furnish perennial flow large
enough to float a steamboat. The
water will be pumped by the new
power plant that is being installed
by the Hurst Electric Company OF
Aurora.
A $4,000 Power Plant.
The Aurora Electric Company,
with capital of $4,000, and ]. B.
Hurst, president, with w. H. Hurst
and Fred Hurst as his associates, is
putting in a power plant at Candy
that will furnish all the way from
500 to 1000 horse power, and is ca
pable of almost indefinite extention.
The water is taken through a ditch
one and a quarter miles long and
turned by two 40-inch Victor tur-
bines, with a 2O-foot fall. These
water wheels are cased in with re-
inforced concrete and their power is
transmitted direct to the generator.
By utilizing a bend in the river this
company has been able to install
this magnificent power for about
$40 per horse power. When the
power station is completed they Will
cut out the steam plant at Aurora
and will be prepared to furnish elec-
trio power to all the surrounding
valley towns in units of from five to |
40 horse power.
Good Lighting System.
Candy is we'll supplied with cleo |
trio lights by the Aurora Company, |
which also furnishes lights to Au-
rora, Barlow, and Hubbard, having |
here altogether about two hundred
and fifty customers, with 16 miles
Of transmission Zine It's arc lights
have been replaced with $50 volt
Funston lamps. They give much
better satisfaction than the arc.
May Get Railroad Shops.
There is a possibility that Candy
may get the railroad shops of the
Southern Pacific now located at Sell
wood. The Sellwood shops are ont
Of date and located upon leased
ground. When the lease expires
large modern shops will be con-
structed within a year or two and
The Southern Pacific Company has
A fine tract OF high ground at Candy
that could be utilized for the pur-
pose. 1t will be up to Candy TO give
luite a large bonus In the way OF
