The Atlanta Georgian, City:
"Gentlemen-I congratulate you,

POWER PLANT TO
Be At THE DEPOT

In our last issue we stated that it
was the intention of the Heppner
Light 81 Water Co. in the rebuilding
of their plant to construct new build
ings on the present site, and that they
had purchased additional space for this
purpose. In conversation with Mr..
Pruyn, the manager of the Company
at Heppner, this week, he informs us
that they were not able to get the
property they needed adjoining the
present plant, and in consequence
have decided to put up the power plant
on grounds near the depot. AS had
been stated to US by Mr.. Gates when
on visit to Heppner some time ago,
1t was a matter not easy to settle as
between the two sites, as they both
presented their strong points. The
fact of not being able to get the
necessary land on which to put up
additional buildings required has
finally settled the proposition in favor

In locating at the depot, the Com

to handle the fuel proposition. On
the other hand. in removing its build
inps from the present site, a menace to
the city will be taken away. Should
ever a food of any consequence come
