kit's; a good thing for Astoria (or any other
city, for that matter) to be served by a
company like Pacific Power & Light a
company with resources and organization
to meet not only the day-to-day require
ments of a growing community, but one
that can meet every emergency as well.
"Like hundreds of Astorians, I can re
member the disastrous fire of 1922. That
happened on December 8th. PP&L was
right on the job, and the very next day,
before the ashes had cooled, electric service
had been restored over temporary facilities.
"I well remember when PP&L was organ
ized in 1910. Right away, electric service
was improved here and rates lowered. Since
then we've had many more rate reductions.
"Yes, we're mighty fortunate to be served
by such an enterprising business organiza
tion one that pays its own way, stays on
the job, and meets every regular need and
every emergency too."
3 5 YEARS OF ELECTRICAL PROGRESS
Randall Reed is the son of Captain Granville Reed, early
day river pilot, who came to Astoria in 1862. His maternal
grandparents came to Oregon across the plains to Salem,
and a few years later moved to Astoria.
The house in which Mr. Reed was born is still standing
on the corner of Third and Bond Streets. He has memories
of many unique experiences in the old Astoria, when much
of the city was built on stilts over the water, and the boys
fished through cracks in the Main Street sidewalks.
Often he rode with his father on Columbia River steam
boats, and still remembers the thrill of seeing the steamer
"Hassalo" shoot the rapids at Cascade Locks in 1888. He
also rode on the first railroad train to travel between
Astoria and Portland, an excursion trip in 1897 of the
Astoria and Columbia River Railroad winning the trip
by selling souvenir badges to excursionists.
Mr. Reed went to work in 1899 in the Peterson & Brown
Shoe Store. After the Astoria fire, he and Albert Grimberg
started the present Reed & Grimberg Shoe Store in a tiny
building on Exchange Street. Later they established their
modern store at its present location on Commercial Street.
