He was of that family of pioneers who settled on Butter Creek in the Sixties, and have been promi nent three quarters of a century in farming and livestock business, and in political matters. They were oaks of solidarity that developed the strength that made the state, and lived during the period when Oregon grew from savage control of the Indians to its present high plane of civilization. He spent most of his active life at his farm where the Old Oregon Trail was marked 100 years ago, and where the name of Butter Creek was applied the stream since famous in Eastern Ore gon history. His father was on the committee which established Pendle ton. then a way station and sage brush flat, and who later became a pioneer sheriff. Umatilla county suffers the loss of a good citizen and good county com missioner. the west end of the county in particular, the loss of a good friend. His passing was unexpected and un timely.

PSNDLKTON, says LES DICKf District Manager • Peas, asparagus, wheat, beef cattle — these will help answer America's food problem. There’s a lot of satisfaction in knowing that right here in the Northwest their production is setting records. Gas 1 threr LESLIE WILLIAM DICK (right) PP&L’s District Manager at Dayton, samples a test-can of peas with A. D. Radebaugh, Gen. Mgr. of Blue Moun tain Canneries, Inc. This company’s plants at Dayton and Pomeroy and the Bozeman Cannery at Waitsburg, together, will pack a 15,000-acre crop this year. Les entered the electric business at Lewiston, Idaho, 30 years ago ; has been in charge of Dayton-Waitsburg-Pomeroy district since 1929. During World War I he served in 166th Depot Brigade. Has one daughter, now at University of Washington, a son who is a First Lieutenant in the Marines. “The largest pea fields in the world" are found along the fertile slopes of the Blue Mountains. And they actually mean an economic bonus to the area, since • they are largely raised between plantings of wheat. The development of the important new crop is giv ing the district more of the stability that comes from diversification—just as the much more widely diver- sified activities of all 12 PP&L operating districts make for a rugged, dependable electric syston. Be cause PP&L serves a complete cross-section of the great Columbia Basin, tesers all over th^- system have their electric service protected against local adversi ties. Through the years they have found the benefits of this business-managed system operation consis tently reflected in lower and lower rates. And, a lot of credit is due to the men who have made it possible. They've been able to meet the challenge of war — not because of some rosy theory they read about in a book the night before last—but because they’ve been through I . the mill of experience. They are the practical men who know their business —whether it is canning peas, raising wheat, handling cattle or supplying electric service. Your wartime electric service, for example, functions smoothly and efficiently because it has behind it an organ ization developed over a long period of years. It rests on a solid foundation—and when sudden new demands are thrown upon it, the men in charge know what to do, and how to get the job done. They also know how to get the answer economically, so that the enterprise will earn its own keep. That s the story in every one of the 12 operating dis tricts that work together in the PP&L system. It’s the reason why this company was ready to do its wartime job, and the reason it can be counted upon to keep on giving you more and more for your money in the years to come. '
