tli development nf electricity In our
little community.
In December, lltOO, I'rlncvlll
first ihw tlm elxctrlc light, tint ynf
small alert rlc plnnt was put In
operation In this city, consisting of
(wo twenty Klllowalt gimiirators of
the Direct Current type driven by
40 H. P. steam ftiglne, and In a
ihort tlm two mow generators and
second engine and boiler were ad
ded. I)y 1812 thla plant wua found
Inadequate fur the needs of the
community, and at the time that the
tttiam plant wai discontinued It wal
consuming five conla of wood per
day, or more than one thnuaand and
twenty five eorda per year, at a coat
(r fuel alone of $, 125.00.
At thla time, the electrical Indue
try In llili community waa reorgan
lied and a five hundred H. P. hydro
electrical plant was put In operation
In Jefferson Co, on the Crooked riv
er at a place known aa the Cove or
chard, and at' the samei time the
Cllne Falla Power alte waa acquired
and a 160 H. P. development WM
made at that place, a trunk line wna
run from Clin Falla to Redmond,
thence to Prlnevllle, and at the aame
time a trunk line waa run from the
Cove plant to Prlnevllle, and tying
In with the Cllne Falla Power line
t Prlnevllle. Other llnea were eon
trusted between the Cove and
PrlnevlUe, to take In the towni of
Madraa, Mntollua and Culver.
The trunk llnea cover a dlatance
of aoorojttmately 80 inline. Thla
line carrya 18,000 volti and at sub-
tatloni located at convenient polnta
thla 83.000 volu la atepped down
to a lower voltage and then the elec
tricity la lent out irom the aub sta
tlona over more than 600 miles of
wire to aupply the demanda of the
people of Crook, Jefferaon and Des

Electricity furnished for light and
power In the construction of the O. t
D. Dam played an Important part
In the development of the O. I. D.
Irrigation system. With out thla
powerful, quiet working agent, It
would have been practically Impos
tlble to have completed the dsm.
The atnblllty and dependability of
the electrical service la beyond re
proach. It la unlveranlty In use
where light," heat power and wlre-
leaa telegraphy can be need. ' It la

onr Crooked river ranchea and la
making available 8.000 acrea of
land under the O. I. D. Project by
the mi'sns of a motor driven pump

to the wife, convenience and profit
to the farmer, dependability to the
manufacturer, and pleaaure to the
theatre going people, for It makea
possible the many wonderful plctur
ea that are thrown on the acreen.
Without It surgery would be at
a stsndstlll,, thousands of Uvea are
aaved each year by the uae of the X
ray; and many more thouaanda of
Uvea are apared to a good, ripe old
age, by applying thla agent to the
wash Ins machine, vacuum cleaner
and flat Iron.
With the permission of theauthor
I would like to aubmlt an addreaa
by Edward N. Hurley on "Do It El
ectrlcally."
America today la at the crossroads
of electrical development. It la
question whether we are to go for
ward or stand still. At this very mo
ment the electrical Industry la suf
fertng from arrested development
The Industry la awaiting the verdict
of the American people.
I have taken the electrical Indus
try as my topic because I believe
that there ts no question, save the
dally problem of food, clothing and
shelter, which Is so vital to the wel-
fare of the American people. Upon
the development of the electrical In
dustry donends the extension of
means of communication; further
facilities for lighting and household
conveniences; the spread of educa
tion and the further progress of civ
ilization. '
We like to think of ourselves here
ta America aa the pioneers in the
aclonce of electricity- We have been
the pioneers, but the Job we start
ed hat not been half done. There
are still fourteen million 'homes In
the United States without electric j
service and which eventually will
have It. It Is authentically stated
that If the present problem 'of hous
ing the population It to be met, the
.United States needs 1,500,000 addi
tional homes, 600,000 additional
factories, 6,000 public schools, 6,
' ., 000 churches 60,000 apartment
buildings and 14,000 theatres. These
too, mean electric service. There
- are 160,000 pending applications for
. power by existing or new industrial
plants desirous ot utilising electricity.
Ws have corns to think electric
light as lbs normal lighting for ev
ery home. We Ilka to think that

ku a large part of the load from ors through the banks and Insurancs the operator soon learns to gauge

The fact Is that the vaat majority
ot people In the U. S. are atlll
without the aid of he electric cur
rent. There are laterally millions
who Still read under smoky oil
lumps. There are many Industries
burning coal and generating their
own power, which, mors economic
ally, could utilize electricity from
the electric light and power plant
and at the same time decrease the
drain upon the nations coal pile.
"Do It electrically" Is a slogan
which has been much In use lately,
but It cannot reach Its full meaning
until a way has been found to pro
vide the enormous amount of money
necessary to build additions to old
plants and for tbs construction of
new ones which will provide light
and power for the homes and fac
tories still In semi-darkness, and
lacking In the economlcal facilities
for the operation afforder by elec
tric power.
The electrical Induatry, if It Is to
be operated economically, must be
operated In large units tbs larger
the unit, the. greater the economy.
Existing small unlU serving Individ
ual communltlea must be physically
Intor-ronnected to permit ot bote
economical use of prnt generat
ing capacity, and with the ultimate
purpoae ot building a single, great
unit to replace the smaller ones as
they become obsolescent. And un
ions these great stations at the very
beginning ars built with a realisa
tion of what will require of them
ten and twenty years hence, much of
the machinery will have to be torn
out and replaced, and, as perhaps.
even buildings remodeled or replac
ed at tremendlous expense as tbs
years go on.
Electric power has cessed to be
local propoaltlon. It has become
statewide and even an Interstate
problem. Steam and hydro-electric
plants built In large unite now pro
vide service over a radius of 100
miles or more, and In many cases
their lines extend far beyond state
boundaries.
The old methods of financing has
no bearing upon the utility questions
of today. Under modern methods
of regulation, as provided by the
utility laws ot most ot our states,
over capitalisation and watered stock
are practically obsolete terms. Cap
italisation has nothing to do with
the ratea paid by the customers of
utility companies.' Capitalization Is
not even cnosldered when state com
missions make the rates.
It Is true that the ratea of the el-
trlcal Industry are regulated by law
The returns on the capital Invested
are thus limited. Frequently they
are not sufficient to encourage eapit-
al to go on. These who complain on
thla score against state regulatory
bodies are simply leveling their
shafts at the wrong target.

clals as well as those who are elect
ed take It for granted that the pub
lic has common sense as well as
sense of fairness. And the public
Is always fair when It has full Infor
mation. When the public takes the
unfair attitude towards an Industry
It Is almost invariably because accu
rate Information is lacking.
It behooves the electrical Industry
everywhere, to take the public into
Its confidence. No company has the !
right to sit behind closed doors and
complain about .unfair treatment.
The public will not understand the
difficulties of the industry unless
the Industry throws open the doors
and tells the truth about itself plain
ly and without fear.
The newspapers like to get their
Information from the head of a cor
poration the man who is really re
sponsible. If the captains of the
electrical Industry would make
themselves more available, thore
would be loss misunderstanding of
their troubles and their plans for
development.
If the proper encouragement Is
given to the electric light and power
Industry, the' Industry will spring
forward In the next decade faster
even than in the paat decade. The
result unquestionably will be a low
ering of the coBt of living and the
conservation of national resources
which cannot fail to benefit ths
whole population. I think It will be
agreed that upon the development
and application of electrical energy,
more than upon any other one thing
are dependent both the speeding up
ot production and the conservation
of our natural resources.

This increase is due to but one thing
the Sunday Schools have at last be
came schools In f&ct as well as in
name. Many schools have adopted
the Graded Lessons and have Institu
ted Teacher Training classes. Re
ligion is a fascinating Subject if
properly taught.
In our school we use the Graded

lead it toward the base ot the ear.
It the proper slant Is given it will
be necessary to remove the saw af
ter leaving the bone, and finish the
years ot ths course deal with Bible
stories. In order to. be a successful
teacher in the Beginners and Pri
mary departments, one ' must be a
good story teller. The next tour
years which are called the Junior
grades, are spent in handwork and
story telling. The student is now
ready for real study and goes into
the Intermediate department where
he spends four years in teal study
of the Bible. Notebook work is one
feature of the work in this depart
ment. The next four years are spent
in the Senior Department where the
pupil takes up real training and
study in tbe activities ot the church.
Above this are the young people's
and the adult department which pur
sue courses of study they are par
ticularly interested in.
At present we have ten classes in
out Sunday School with an active
enrollment of 106, and an average
attendance of about 85. The Cradle
Roll and Home Departments bring
tbe total enrollment up to a little
over 150 members. If teachers can
be secured It is planned to organize
two and possibly three classes more.
A teachers training class was In op
eration during the winter, the text
used being How T Teach Religion by
Dr. George H- Betts.
Socially our school has not been
dead this year, but more ts being
planned for next year in the line ot
8ocfal activities. As a matter ot fact
it may be said without boasting that
during tbia past year the Methodist
Sunday School ot Prlnevllle has
made a name tor itself as being able
to provide real tun and clean tun
for young people.
In conclusion as superintendent
of the Sunday School, I wish to ex
press my deep appreciation to tha
teachers in our Sunday School tbls
year. Only twice this year havs I
had to rush madly about after school
had taken up and provide a substi
tute teacher. At all other times, It
the teacher could not be there, a
substitute was on hand.
