Coni of Bend, Oregon “IT was an important step forward for the people who live in central Oregon when Pacific Power & Light came here. We need PP&L’« resources, technical knowledge and experience to get the right kind of elec tric service, so essential to growing areas like this. “PP&L has increased our power re sources, improved our electric service and brought down the price of electricity. A good electric service company never stands still—it’s always growing and improving —and that’s what I particularly like about PP&L. Those fellows are always out in front with the latest in electrical progress. “We’ve got just about everything elec trical in our home, and PP&L has made electricity our cheapest servant.” William B. C om , electrical supervisor of the Shevlin- Hixon pine mills of Bend, Oregon, came west from Minnesota in 1910 and started to work for the Allis- Chalmers Company in the electrification of lumber plants in the Pacific Northwest. During the ensuing years, while following the practical work, Mr. C om also continued hit studies of the technical end of electrical engineering. In 191J he came to Bend to work on the electrification of the Shevlin-Hixon mill, continued to work there as an electrician, and in 1917 wax appointed electrical super- visor. Mr. Cone ia responsible for the maintenance and operation of 730 electric motor«, ranging in aire from % h.p. to the big 250 h.p. motora that operate the band saws in the mill. He also hae charge of more than a hundred miles of electrical circuita supplying lighting and signal control and fire alarm systems. Ingenious and inventive, Mr. Cone has designed snd put into operation three separate electric services for the Shevlin mill, and has at times designed electrical mill equipment ahead of manufacturers. One of his latest inventions is an electrically-driven bicycle, powered by an auto storage battery and an electric starter from a car—a device used to get him through the 1% miles of mill yard with no waste of time.
