Ore. First Electricity First electricity was turned on in November, 1940, at Sitkum, when the Coos Electric Co-operative began operations. That small start did not tell, or could one even predict what was yet to come. That w.is in 1940, before people found out about the opportunities of Southwestern Oregon. Areas Now Being Served »111« that small start, since those days before World War 2, the Coos Electric Co-ojx-rative ex panded and re expanded until today it includes the areas «if Fairview, McKinley, Lee, Sitkum. Gravel ford, Dora, Bridge, Broadlx.-nt, Reunite, Bandon, Myrtle Point, Port Orford, Ophir, Gold Beach and the Brookings and Harbor area to the State Line. Wilson Freeman's Cheleo Store Development Dependent On Power By expanding to include Curry County in addi tion to I « mis (ounty, so it is now known as Coos- Curry Electric Co-operative, the co-operative has tried to keep abreast with development, hut hasn’t been able to meet all demands made upon it for power for new industries or businesses. From the lew members at Sitkum m 1940, the co-operative has grown to include more than 36,000 members. '1 he power output each month ttxlay far exceeds 1,500.000 KA\ I I «if energy. Demand Not Yet Reached From the points Ix-twecn the two extremes of the co-operative daily there are demands made for p o \\c i to new sawmills, plywood plants, and count less other new businesses which arc locating in the Southwestern Section of Oregon. Jt is IxiiPt too optimistic to believe that all can he served until Bonpeville Power Adinini’tration can complete its line to Gold Beach simetime in the summer of 1952. By then, with Bonneville on a complete circuit through Mountains States Power ( ompany and California Oregon Power Company, this “bottle-neck” will continue to hamper prog ress to a certain extent. After that time, the Co operative hopes to keep abreast with all expan sion and development of the section.
