HERMISTON HERALD FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF HERMISTON STANFIELD NEWS Confidence in Hermiston invest ments is being shown by the sale of a number of good properties to local citizens. A number of houses and Main street buildings and business properties have been sold at figures much above that of a few years ago, largely for cash. There are also num erous inquiries for homes that cannot be satisfied as few people desire to dispose of their holdings. This increased stability of condi tions is based on the growth of the town from the 1940 census of 803 to what is considered an established pop ulation of 2000, after all fluctuation and temporary features are passed, and also to future possibilities. Rumors fly from north, south, east and west about the Umatilla Rapids dam. They vary from contract letting next week to sure to be built just af ter the war. With the building of the big Dupont plants just above where much power will be needed, and navi gation will be next in importance piled on top of all the other estab lished needs of this river development, it is little wonder that rumors fly thick and fast. If John L. Lewis has no more real friends than he has in this territory, the wines of bis power are seriously clinned He is being chastised by high authorities and by public sentiment in h's effort to pull a strike in the midst of war needs. One of a series of twelve advertisements about the men who manage PP&L business in Oregon and Washington TODAY / I Ever stop to think that your electric service has been on a 24-hour shift for years and years? That’s just one of the things our District Managers have to think about. It’s one of the reasons why the electric business— all over America—long ago outgrew the stage where one community or one district, could adequately handle its own power needs. Today, for example, the line that runs to your home is an integral part of a carefully planned network of feeder lines, transmission lines, and the thousands of local circuits that make up the PP&L system. , 1 IRRIGON NEWS ITEMS Hu A'inre Caldwell Mrs. Leata Clearidee left for Bis mark.

COREY, District Manager at The Dalles since 1925, points out a section of the transmission network linking together 150 generating plants now cooperating in the Northwest Power Pool. Glenn is a graduate of Oregon State and started in with PP&L right after World War I, in which he served as 2nd Lieutenant with the 57th Field Artillery. He learned the business from the ground up—meter reader, clerk, operator at the old Hood River power plant ; District Manager at Seaside, Toppenish, The Dalles. The Corey family includes 3 daughters, and 2 sons-in-law, both in the armed forces. Because we have this system —with its veteran or ganization of trained people — behind your service, you seldom know when emergencies arise. But, there’s another advantage that’s easy to see—for system efficiency means economy. And that’s one of the reasons why PP&L residential rates are now 43% below the national average! Head of deep-water navigation on the Columbia River, The Dalles is at the gateway of the rich Inland Empire. It is a busy shipping and processing point for an ever-increasing amount of wheat, fruit, lumber, cattle, and other products_ all making for healthy year-round business activity. In the same way, the much more widely diversified activities of all 12 PP&L operating districts make for a rugged, depend able electric system. Because PP&L serves a complete cross-section of the great Columbia Basin, users all over the system have their electric service protected against local adversities. Through the years they have found the benefits of this business-managed system operation consistently reflected in lower and lower rates.
