PRESIDENT OF KINZUA
ENTERPRISE PASSES IN EAST
Edward D Wetmore, president of
the Kinzua enterprise, passed away
at Warren, Perm. Jan. 20, 1946, at
the age of 85 years. He is survived
bv his widow Ella Wetmore of war
ren an rl a daughter. Mrs. Alice
Brann of Witchita, Kan.
The late Mr. Wetmore was nati
onally known as a lumberman, tim
ber owner and philanthropist. In
1884 he graduated from Columbia
lLaw school in New York City.
However he did practice law but,
instead, entered the lumber busi
ness as manager of his father's in
terests in Mackin county, Penn. A
few years later gas and oil were
, discovered on their holdings, which
led to the extension of thir inter
ests. Later, Mr. Wetmore spent con
siderable time on the west coast,
which resulted in him and his as
sociates acquiring large tracts of
timber in Oregon, Washington, Cal
ifornia and New Mexico. These
tracts were known as the Allegheny
Lumber company; Wetmore Lum
ber company; Conewango Lumber
company; Chautaugua Lumber com
pany; Wallowa Lumber company;
Kinzua Lumber company; Eedondo
Development company and the Tio
nesta Lumber company.
At one time he and his associates
were considered one of the largest
timber owners in the United States,
In later years these timber tracts
were all sold excepting the Kinzua
Lumber company, located in Whee
ler and Morrow counties 'and the
Wallowa tract located in Baker
county.
Mr. Wetmore did not confine his
interests to lumber and timber
alone, but always took an active
interest in the civic life of the com
munity in. which he was interested.
His family, his friends his busi
ness and his country each had its
place in his thoughts, and those
best acquainted with him knew him
to be a splendid example of a great
Christian gentleman.
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Miller and
Fred Blake motored to Portland

ELECTRICITY IS CHEAPER THAN EVER
... at PP&L's new "all purpose" rate. In most
homes electric cooking now costs less than $2 a month.
For example, if you are using 100 kilowatt-hours a
month, you can buy an additional 100 kilowatt-hours for
electric cooking for only about $1.70! (The typical home
uses about 100 kilowatt-hours a month for cooking.) Can
you think of a bigger bargain anywhere today? In most
homes clean electricity for cooking is now cheaper than
old-fashioned fuels! And don't forget that, your electric
rates have been cut 5 times in the past 10 years . . . you
can count on PP&L to keep on making electricity
cheaper and cheaper.
