THE COMPANY
The history of The California Oregon Pow er Com
pany shows a substantial growth in facilities and
earnings resulting from the large sums of money in-
vested in its properties and from the development of
the territory which it serves.
Steady Growth in Customers Served
The territory now served by The California Oregon
Pow er Company includes parts of Jackson, Josephine,
Klam ath and Douglas Counties in Oregon, and
Siskiyou County and parts of Shasta and Trinity
Counties in California. This is an area equal to the
combined areas of the States of Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut.
During the ten years from 1913 to 1923, the num
ber of consumers has grown to the present total of
18,225, an increase of 177%. Due to the increasing use
of electric power for industrial, agricultural and do
mestic purposes, the Company’s output has grown from
approximately twenty-six million kilowatt-hours in
1913 to one hundred and fifty-two million kilowatt-
hours in 1923—an increase of 475%.
In addition to its local consumers, the company en
joys a large and advantageous wholesale contract
demand from other power companies, thus greatly
expanding and diversifying its field.
The company owns and operates eight hydro-elec
tric plants in Southern Oregon and N orthern Cali
fornia. In building these hydro-electric plants, natural
resources are developed which will be productive
forever.
The Company’s main trunk high tension and distri
bution lines at the end of 1923 were 1550 miles in
length.
The actual investment in the construction of these
facilities has increased from $4.787,624,35 in 1913 to
$11,752,616.19 in 1923, exclusive of valuable water
rights and intangible assets.
The Company is now engaged in building a new
4,250 horse-power plant on Link River at Klamath
Falls, and an additional power plant with a generating
capacity of 40,000 horse-power at Copco on the Klam
ath River, together with an im portant extension of its
high-tension lines. A large part of this increased pro
duction has already been contracted for, in the case
of the new Copco plant, and it is estimated by the
Company that the new facilities alone will increase its
net earnings by more than $400,000.00 a year.

THE STOCK
P ar value $100 per share.
Dividends have been paid on The California Oregon
Pow er Company Preferred Capital Stock each quarter
since issuance, without interruption, at the rate of $7
per share per annum. Dividend checks are mailed
every three months.
Proceeds of all securities sold are devoted exclusive
ly to additions to and betterm ents of the Company’s
properties.
The stock is not assessable by the Company for
any purpose whatsoever. It is non-callable, and if pur
chased at the present price, yields a return of 7.14%
on the investment.
I t is exempt from Federal Normal Individual In
come Tax.
It takes precedence as to assets and dividends over
common stock amounting to $4,441,100 par value. This
means that all dividends on the Preferred Stock must
be paid in full before any dividends may be declared
on the common stock; and that the Preferred Stock
has a claim on the assets of the Company prior to the
common stock. The equity in assets back of the Pre
ferred Stock amounts to more than $9,000,000.00 as of
May 31, 1924—over two and one-half times the par
value of the Preferred Capital Stock now outstanding.
Upon the completion of the new Copco power
house, the new Link River power house, and other
projects now commencing construction, approximately
Five Million Dollars in new and productive property
will be added to the company’s physical assets.
The stock may be purchased ir any amount from
one share upward.
It may be purchased either for cash or on our special
savings plan, namely, $5 per share as first payment,
and $5 per share per month. Interest is not charged by
the company on unpaid balances.
Interest is paid by the company, however, on all
partial payments under the savings plan at the rate
of 6% per annum. Interest checks are mailed to
subscribers under the savings plan every three months.
Subscribers who find it necessary to cancel t h r r
installment subscriptions will be allowed a refund i 1
all payments made, plus interest earned, either in cash
or in paid-up stock. (A deduction of $1.00 per share
will be made to cover the expense of cancellation.)
The stock is listed on the San Francisco Stock and
Bond Exchange.
