' v t a- w &flc i iWi V v - V I: i - if ra M f j a IN following the census reports issued from Washington, you have noticed the big increase in populatioirthroughout Suutlmrn Idaho and Eastern Oregon. This increase in population is the main reason why the Idaho Power Company must continue In build more power plants, extend transmission ' and distributing lines, and provide more equipment from year to year. These now people coming into this territory are demanding electric power to light their homes, to irrigate their farms, to operate their industries. And if this country is to develop as it should, their de mands must bo cared for. 0 Old Industries Require more Power- LB industries jire growing, manufacturing plants arc spring ing up, extensive areas of fanning land are being opened. But without an nmplo supply of electric power, this develop ment must be halted. At the present time, now customers are being added to the Idaho' Pow er Company's lines at the rato of betweeeu four and five thousand a year. To take care of these new customers and the increased demands of old power users requires from 8,000 to 10,000 additional horse power each year. Present System Taxed almost to Capacity T HIS year, u new 0,000 kilowatt unit plant was built at Thou sand Springs to bear the burden of the increased load. In spite of this, there have been times during the past summer when the demand for electric current almost equalled the full generating capacity of our system. This means that additional power plant capacity must be built, additional lines must bo installed, and sub-station must bo enlarged, before wo can take on any appre ciable amount of now business. , -j. t 0 New Developement Requires Money ND new development requires money.

A tures required to provide power lor new irrigation business alone during 1U20 and 1021 are in excess of one and three-quarter million dollars. Ni.' S Tn order to get this monoy, we must go out and borrow it in tho open market. As tho Stato Law does not allow tho Utilities to chargu their customers for their services rates which will provide tho nmrey required to pay for tho construction of new power plants, transmis sion lines, etc., but our annual income must be sufficient to pay a rate of interest on our investment which will induce investors to "put their monoy into our hands to bo used for the now construction re quired to handle this constant growth in business. Our Present Difficulty OW this is tho situation at present. As wo havo shown before, our present rates provido a very small return on tho money represented by tho Common Stock of our Company. Whil'o this condition oxists. canitnl tmnnnt. ho KPimri nn t'livnvuliln terms for development, and thus the prgress of tho territory may bo halted for want of power facilities. N' "Woliavo been asked why it is thot wo can continue to pay annually 7 per cent on our Preferred Stock when wo aro earning such a small amount of money. AVe have only $1,250,000 of proforred stock out standing, and this stock reeoi'ves its full 7 per cent each year before any return can bo paid on the Common Stock. Consequently our Pre ferred Stockholders can bo assured of their return regularly even when tho money represented by tho .Common Stock earns nd re ceives a very small return. Tho noxt advertisement will show more fully why an increase in rates is necessary before investors will lend us money to carry on tho work of development which tho progress of this territory demands.
