demonstrated across the north end of
tho Merchants' building, where the
California OreKon Power company in
displaying a liUKe map. dotted with
lights, names and figures.
. H. L. Hfomtey, assisted by J. .1.
Skinner and a crew of Conco em
ployees, prepared the exhibit which
calls for at least thirty minutes of a
visitors 'tlmo to Inspect and digest
tho many statistics. it, was a big
task to construct art! erect the Riant
map with its many colored bulbs and
wiring equipment.
One Interesting fact brought out by
the display, is that 81.000 people in
territory on both sides of tho stato
line constitute, the population bo hit;
served. This area equals five New
KuKland states; a kingdom An itself
IfirKer than soiug JOiiropoan nations!
Kipht counties are embraced.
Anions U19 many figures, one learns
that 80 million kilpwatt hours are gen
erated at tho nine plants. Tho horse
power developed at these nine plants
reaches fil,f70. This is to be increased
with additional plants in the near fu
ture. The yearly receipts amount to SI,-
:tiO,M4. A quarter of the earnings
is siH'tit for labor alone. This means
a fat payroll at many points. Medford
gets its share, which Is a large
nmouut. In addition m'auy employees
mnko their home in and around this
city, this being the Homo Office of the
company.
Tho grand total invested is over
eleven millions. One out of every
eight customers is a stockholder, re
reiving an income from power gen
erated by the mere fall of waters in the
mountains!
Numerous placards give statistics
on past, present aud future activities
of tho aCiil'ornla Oregon firm, to

With irowcr, lumber, fruit and other
agricultural pursuits ,tho residents of

producer's hand at the harrow, and
dozens of small industrial lines may

small end of the horn of nleti'y, having

the big end to (he world at large

Increased use of electrically driven
farm and household machinery, with
city and rural lighting, have caused a
big jump in demand for energy. Con
sequently tho Copco coi'ix.) ration has
had to meet this demand by new plants
and lines. And tho end fa not In sight.
Tho ensuing year calls for a construc
