On the second floor of the station will be located thehigh-tension and operating galleries and the switchboard. The generators and transformers are connected for operatingeach set of transformers on their own generators, and also for oper-ating a set of transformers on any generator for emergency ordinary operating conditions the generators will be in par-allel. Double-break oil switches having a vertical lift of the plungerwill be used and will be operated by electric pneumatic wattmeters will be placed on each machine to record. the appearance of a continuous line through the otherwise openbreak in the line or bus-bars. For the use of the officers and employees of the company a two-story building, known as the mens barracks, will be erected near thepower house, the main dimensions of which will be 68 ft. by 45 first floor of the building will provide for a library, a kitchen, adark room and a chemical room. On the second floor there willbe rooms for the president, the superintendent and the housekeeperand seven bed chambers, besides the usual conveniences in way ofbaths and toilets. There will also be a large attic, which can beutilized for sleeping purposes in cases of emergency. The White River generating plant will deliver its power into thesame transmission system, which is supplied by the Snoqualmie Fallsgenerating plant. This is a most elaborate and substantially con-structed system, there being two independent pole lines and two cir-cuits from each generating station, to the
