R. Huffman, local manager for Pacific Power & Light Company. "The Defense Electric Power Administration already has order ed a cut in the power consumed by major users, such as fac tories and industries " he said "That means production and jobs and pay checks are being cut Every saving you can make in your use of electricity will help keep these jobs going. "The long dry fall has resulted in dangerously low water condi tions throughout the whole area The Columbia river is flowing at an extremely low rate, as are the rivers feeding practically all the Northwest power dams. This has seriously cut down the electrical supplies of the Northwest Power Pool, which serves the needs of the whole area. "We need the help of everyone in avoiding any waste of elec tricity. Power saving is needed all day and every day, all around the clock, to meet our problem." The present tight power prob lem affects the whole area, in eluding all of Washington, most of Oregon and northern Idaho. The federal order applies throughout the whole area. All electric utilities served by the Power Pool in this area are sub ject to the terms of the order and are cooperating in the drive to save electricity it was explained bv Huffman, In addition to Pacific Power, utilities in this area named by the defa order Include the Col umbia Basin Electric Cooperative, Inc.
