SINCE 1940
Growing W ith And
Serving S. W. 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.

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.
