Operating Monies Show Increase for Copco in 1959 Operating revenues in creases totaling $2,079,919 in 1959 for the California Ore gon Power company showed a continuing growth in demand for the company's service, A. S. Cummins,, president, noted in the 39th annual report to shareholders. This revenue growth repre sents an increase of 14.58 per cent in kilowatt hour deliver ies of electric energy to retail customers. This shows evi dence of improved business conditions, additional custo mers and effectiveness of the company's load building pro gram, Cummins stated. The average annual con sumption of electricity by residential customers during 1959 was 9,106 kilowatt hours, a new high for the utility, Cummins noted. A total of $7,489,961 was invested in new facilities dur ing the year. The company estimates that $50 million of new capital will be required through 1965 to help finance a construction program to keep up with future growing needs. The 1960 construction program contemplates addi tions of $9,300,000. Gross income of $7,181,139 for the year shows an increase over 1958, but reflects the generally increasing operat ing costs and "extraordinary amounts of purchased power." A subnormal water supply caused , generation of energy in company plants to be re duced substantially, Cummins explained. 81 Flu Cases Are Reported in County Eighty-one cases of influen za were reported to the Jack son county department of health last week, according to Dr. C. I. Drummond, county health physician. . . Of the total, 62 were re ported in Medford, 15 in Ash land and 4 in Shady Cove.

Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Finally, the Lonely Little Crow was Rescued Why? He was just a little guy, a young crow about two thirds grown, who came down in a fluttering spiral glide from the upper airways and perched in a pine tree where he spent the entire day. During the hours he sat there he made no sound no effort to take off. But as the afternoon waned, and the crow-parade began passing overhead, he suddenly came alive and began calling. As he called he looked up into the sky at the flying forms of homeward bound crows, all of which were moving northward. As the hour grew late, he became excited and more than a little angry. He cawed louder, stretching out his neck and scanning the sky. But the flocks were very high; much too far away to hear his frantic cawing. Evi dently he was afraid to go home alone. Then, just before the world became completely dark, three black forms came wing ing out of the north, coming from the opposite direction, from which the passing hordes had gone a little time before. , Took Off Within minutes they locat ed the little one, and came to rest beside him. They all cawed at once, apparently telling the timid one to "wake up and fly right." Shortly they took off with the little one in between the others. They were going home. There are some peculiar angles to this "rescue busi ness." The peculiar thing was not that the three adult crows came after the timid one, or that he waited for someone to come, but rather how did they know that he was missing? What signal or organized plan went into operation? What roll call revealed an absent member? In the nightly check-up at the crow-rookery, if there is a check-up, was one member missing? Did one of the crows that passed overhead hear the call from the pine tree and report it at the rookery? Who, among the hundreds of members of the crow so- ciey passed out the word that a member was missing, or that "one was down and prob ably needs help?" Did they suspect the truth, that the young one was afraid to fly home alone? Maybe the timid one was a little sulky or perhaps he felt, like all children do at times, that no one cared and so he would just wait and see if someone came after him. Maybe he wanted someone to tease him to come home again, and at the same time promise him that "all is for given." The answers to all these questions are not forth coming. In trying to understand this peculiar action, one must take into consideration that the crow is a pretty smart opera tor. In their behavior pattern there often appears a bright glow that doesn't resemble in stinct; it looks more like intelligence. Anyone who claims the crow is only acti vated by "blind unreasoning instinct," has had little to do with these birds, for these black characters can make a monkey out of the majority of gunners who would kill them. "Also, they confound completely the scientist who attempts to figure them out.
