At least once every day of the year, usually about the time you sit down under the bright, cheerful lights of your dining room to your evening meal, the cares of the day behind you, a tremendous demand comes upon your Power Company for mpre and more electricity. Everything must be in readiness. Every part of every machine must be running smoothly. Emergency reser voirs must be full of water. Fuel must be at hand so it can lie crowded into furnaces already white hot from the fires , which have forced the pressure of steam in the boilers up to the limit of safety. Every man must be at his post, on the" alert to meet any emergency. Water tenders watch their gauges, firemen their fuel supply. Operators are at their water wheels or steam throtles, their eyes hardly leaving for an instant the needle indicators of the polished instruments which tell the story of how the load is going. Dispatchers are at their telephones, getting reports from all over the system and apportioning the load to the various plants. For one, two, and sometimes three' hours the load piles up. Men and machinery are giving the best that is in them that you may be served, not only with all the electricity you may see fit to use, but with that electricity up to a rigid stand ard of quality. When, a.-at present, water conditions are so serious, this daily crisis is a period of great anxiety, because in such times, minor complications which otherwise would have but little effect, may throw the whole smoothly run ning system out of gear.. -' . And when, as happened a few night ago, for instance, the storm in the mountains threw great trees across the lines, cutting plants apart just when the load was hea-iest. "PULLING OVER THE PEAK" tests the capacity of the whole organization. With almost the promptness of a fire department answering a call,.. cars bearing men and ....tools must speed toward the scene of the trouble and to strategic points where they can-, be ready' to :meet any ("emergency. . sy.;,:-iiu,--: ''.;:' , "PULLING OVER THE PEAK" means having men and equipment at hand twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days of the year, sufficient to meet the demand of one or two hours a day. It means BIG in vestments and BIG expenses. It is .the final test of the financial and physical ability of your Power Company. Eastern Ore. Light & Power Co. - - ...
