The death of Allen Thomson is a
shock to a wide circle of friends in
three counties, and in other parts of
the state. 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.

• 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.

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.
