& Power Co. and Is associated with
many other Important electrical proj
ects. A Permanent Proposition.
None of the men associated with
the new enterprise Is a promoter, or
ever has been conected with the pro
motion of any scheme. Mr. Miller
states most positively that their pur
chase here is sn out and out "buy,"
that they intend to bring a lot of
money for local development, as
opnelngs for it arise, and that they
mean to atay with Dend permanently.
Mr. Drown was here only once, and
that time durlg a rainstorm, but he
saw enough to send him back to Chi
cago a Uend enthusiast.
Mr. Miller has been here several
times and has Investigated thorough
ly all possible local features.
T. H. Foley, hitherto In charge ot
the U. V. L. Ac P. Co., will continue
as local manager, the responsibilities
ot his work being materially In
creased. Before cotnfBg" to Dend,

we want to keep ahead ot the game,"
said Mr. Miller.
He further made this statement
for publication:
"The entire capital stock and as
sets of the Dend Water Light & Pow.
er Co. have been purchased outright
by the Central Oregon Power Co.
The sale, besides Including tho power
plant and water and lighting nyatcma
In Dend, also Includes certain real es
tate not formerly owned by tho D.
W. I. & P. Co. Part of this real es
tate is located in Dend, but the major
part ot it Is at Important power sites
up the river and near Dend.
"The Dend Company, from whom
the purchase was made, retains no In
terest whatever in tho property, and
all of the stock and other assets Is
cow vested In tho Central Oregon
Power Co.
"The Central Oregon Power Co. Is
an Illinois corporation, formed for
the purpose of developing water pow
er properties, not only In Dend but
In other Central Oregon towns as
such other development warrants.
Its prlnclpsl stockholders are Chas.
A. Drown of Chicago, myself and a
few of our associates. The concern
Is amply financed by private capital
