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.

To the Editor: Who Is Mr.
Parkinson thai ao nsres to bring In
famous charges against nine ot the
most prominent and lilghly respect
ed citizens of Lane county? uoes he
imagine that the reputation for
probity and honor of such men as P.
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.
