Mass., (Spec ial) Th possible development of 4,000.000 electrical horso power on the St. Utwrence IUver whe ther the, waterway project Is un dertaken or not. has again 'irought up the problem of the ef fect of super-power development on existing public utility proper ties now generating and selling electrical power. At lent one In vestment authority. linger W. Babson, believen that siieh a de velopment will strengthen 11m lo cal companies and work to (he ad vantage of those who 'own their securities. "Super-power propose h ,1o 'bank' Ihe power of existing 'pro ducers of elect rlea I energy by connecting Individual systems and adding the out pul of water .pow ers that may be developed as ec onomical sources of electrical en ergy," says 'Hie statistician. "A. -dnglo system has-been proposed, for instance, that woulrf embrace all territory between liostoii und j Washington, l. '. This would im- mediately make the same electric-! systems that supply uniform elec tric service over large areas would m aka possible the elect rtlfcal ion of many railroads. Where steam power is necessary the energy could be generated at the nearest possible point to the railroads and transmitted by high power Hues to the point where it Is needed. Statistics ;lcii. "It Is estimated that our energy rc'itilrctueuts for l'Jttfi will approx imate ;u, ooo.ooo.ouo kilowatt hours. Super-power systems could produce and deliver this volume at a saving of $2;i'i.fiu(.0iM over what Ih would cost if produced un der ht) individual meet, system. A saving of some r.o.ouo.iino tons of coal would also be made by the super-power organization In pro ducing this volume of power. "Just now, when we have a tre mendous cash reserve and busi ness s a bit slack- the ltahson chart shows general activity at 14 percent below normal we may well turn our attention toward super-power projects.

Auxiliary plants may be put bitn regular operation Rivers Of Electricity High over your heads ccusclessly flow rivers of electricity to serve your daily needs of light, heat and power. When electricity -was first developed it could be used only on the spot, then it was transmitted by rape drive for a few. hundred feet. Turned into electricity, its transmission range at first was limited to a few miles. Then came the wonderful development of high voltage transmission lines which today serves a total of more than 1I,0()0,000 actual customers in the United Stated. 5 ;. 'ihe lOiustern Oregon Light and Tower Company has over one hundred and sixty miles of these, rivers of electricity in the form of high voltage tiansMiission lines from which flow countless rivulets of light, heat und imvvcr to over 2,0(0 people in Eastern Oregon. Cities, towns, rural communities and other places sciTcd by these Kastcrn Oregon rivers of power, include Baker, La Grande, Union, Klgin, North I'owdcr, Haines, Iinblcr, 'Cove, Alicel, Summerville, Island City, Sampler, Hon rue, Tclocasct, Rock Creek, Hot Lake and others, which places arc all connected by these rivers which flow without interruption from the five generating plants of the company. . ' These generating plants are so located .over this territory (hat in practically every case, if trouble should develop at one of them, the other plants increase their generation and continue the flow of the rivers of electricity uninterrupted to pur customers.
