.TWO THE EUGENE DAILY GT&RD, SATURDAL, MAT 13, 1911. roadening the Electric Market Economy in the production of electricity lies almost entirely in massing the sources of production in large central stations and using the largest possible generating machin ery. This one method of centralizing production and enabling the use of great generators and engines has done more than anything else to de crease steadily the price of electric current throughout the United States during the last ten years. f There can be no large central sta tions unless there are large MAR KETS TO BE SERVED. Whoever intends to lower the cost cf producing electricity in a given community must Know his available marKet and be reasonably sure of its possibilities before he starts to build his plant. , , - The, present management discov ered that there was a way to build up a fairly large marKet for electric' energy in that section of the Willam ette Valley lying from Eugene north ; to Albany and Corvallis. It was found that an electrical transmission line from Eugene and Springfield to Albany and Corvallis would enable the serving of a num ber of towns and villages enroute, as well as the cities at both ends all from one central power station. By constructing the central sta tion at Springfield a comparatively cheep, fuej supply of saw mill refuse was assured for a long time to come. There was already installed in the old power station at Springfield, two steam turbine-generators of 666 horsepower each, a' total of 1332 horsepower. The new station will contain these units and another tur bine unit, the latter capable of gener ating at least 2668 horsepower. (To tal 4000 horsepower ) The larger electrical marKet, made possible by the construction of the long-distance transmission line, thus warranted an immediate in crease in producing capacity of 200 per cent, and the installation of a GREAT GENERATING UNIT. This plan, decided- upon by engi neers admittedly among the fore most in the country, is designed to benefit not only Eugene and Spring field, but the other cities, villages and towns as well. The major benefits of the broad ened marKet and the lower cost of ' production cannot be appropriated by our company even if it is so de sired. The very need for increased demands over the prevailing de mands for electricity will maKe it necessary to sell service at the lowest possible price consistent with sound operation.. No citizen of Eugene was urged to assist financially in worKing out this comprehensive scheme. No delay was permitted by the present man agement once it had tome into pos session of the property and its engi neers had completed their reports ; The feasibility of water power for generating the current used was not lost sight of This feature is being in vestigated and looKed after. The plans of the company, as out lined in this article, are of vital and material interest to the people of this city as well as other communities and are certainly entitled to the con-: sideration which initiative and en deavor commonly receive. r The Oregon Power Company is asking for no unusual or charitable consideration on this score. Unless its managers thought they saw an . opportunity for a reasonable return on the investment, they would neith er, have planned nor builded. The men and corporations, how ever, who do PLAN and BUILD, who conceive projects and PUT THEM THROUGH; who see FAR and who ACT COURAGEOUSLY, should at least receive credit for good faith until it has been proven otherwise.

L. Campbell, A. G. Dixoa, R. M. Veatcb, L. A. Cates, C. H. Burk holder, C D. Stewart, H. O. Thomp son, John Spray and J. W. Wood can be assailed and ruined with Im punity? Jt surely seems that the enemies of lle educational inter ata of Oregon must be in resper ate straits to have descended to this dastardly anion of attacking the personal character of not only President Campbell and Mr. Dixon, but also the gentlemen of high char acter and well known Integrity com posing the committee at Cottage Grove, in whose hands were placed the matters of the referendum petl- tlons against the education lntsitu tions of the state. The reputation of President Campbell, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Veatch and in fact, all of the gentlemen assailed, tor ability, hon esty and Integrity, la actually state wide, and even those few of the number Who are not so widely known, have built up for themselves here In Lane county, where they are all well known, reputations for hon esty and inu&rity far boyond the reach ot an jv question. Whilst the active friends of the University have deplored the fact that men of such 1-1 l. 1 ... 1.nBa MinuMhitln the Cottage Grove committee have J not been able to see these matters as , we do, still no. man In Lane county i Y baa questioned their honesty of. pur- j pose, or assumed for a moment, that j any one amongst them would de-1 JJ scend to any unlawful or ungentle- j maa act to accomplish their pur- j J pose. It has remained fpr Mr. Par- TJ klnson to discover that all of 'he; men whom the originators of theij5 movement had chosen as their active committee, were so lost to all sense ! of honor, and decency, as to havejJJ formed a coalition with President Campbell and Mr. Dixon, having fr:j Its object the dereat or ine move ment bv the moBt dastardly meth ods. These methods were of euch a nature that he found lmself ob liged to recede from his expressed position when he "declined to take an active hand in the movement, telling these peaple (?) that Blnce It had originated among the farmers and taxpayers, they should have general charge." He cast bis eagle eye over the petitions and at once discovers that eight hundred of the names thereon are "bogus." He also makes the astounding discovery that a number of the men who were circulating tho petition, (hired and well paid by the committee), were members of a local detective agency, and Intimates by his statements that these "local detectives were taking nay from the committee and at the same time following their "real em ployment" by destroying the work ot the committee by placing eight hundred bogL. names upon the pe titions, and as a result of thla in- vestlgation, Mr. Parklson assumes, that the committee Is doing crooked! work and the only resource is for this eminently honest and disinter ested man, after the above speci men ot cogent reasoning, to take ti.e whole matter out of the hands of the "farmers and taxpayers," and the committee and show his eminent ability by taking the whole load up on his broad shoulders and do his dutv bv charging President Camp boll. Messrs. Dixon, Veach, Cates, Burkholder, Stewart. Thompson, Spray and Wood, with wholesale bribery and tM- most dastardly cor ruption. Can it be possible that ; the people of Oregon and Lane' county have been so stupid that for ' all of these years they have been doing honor to and showing such i high regard for all of thesrt men for! their integrity, while they have, alii of them, been thus capable of these; dastardly crimes: and, at the samei time, have hitherto failed to dlscov-j er this repository of all their virtues until circumstances compelled him j to outrage his modesty by Jumping; thus into tho lime ltgtit.
