It was so marvelous that the man who sold it to ua asked for a picture of our kitchen. Of course, it was nothing like the modem elec tric kitchen we have today— but eight of our friends went out and bought electric ranges when they learned from us how easy it was to cook with electricity. unto •««»t. lasting Peil- ursclvesto ‘ A c task of bringing victory m “That was just a few years after PP&L came to Pasco in 1910. Since then we have added just about everything there is in the way of household electric equipment. And PP&L has been cutting the price of elec tricity faster than we have been adding new appliances, so that today service for our all-electric home costs us only half the 3 5 YEARS OF amount we once paid to use our electric range and a few lights.’1 J. A. Shupe, veteran railroad engineer, came to Pasco from Kansas in 1904 to take a job as ajire- cleaner in the Pasco Northern Pacific roundhouse. He became successively a fireman on a switch-ygrd engine, freight engineer, and passenger and now pilots one of the big Class A-3 locomotives between Pasco and Spokane. Mr. Shupe recalls the many advances in railroad ing since he first went to work for Northern Pacific. Trains are bigger, faster, safer; tracks are twice as heavy; and steel construction has replaced wood to make the cars bigger and stronger. The first locomotive Mr. Shupe drove had an oil head lamp and oil lamps in the cars. Now electric ity not only lights the trains, but operates the block signals and handles many a difficult job that used to be done manually. -E L E C T R IC A L P R O G R E S S cc the to «U the world. 1911 Masts lamp re places carbon bnlb, giving more light per kwh.
