Ihe greatest Impression made upon him was by Uie electric lights In Ban Francisco. He would tell many limes In the course of his tales that everything would event ually be done by electricity. His audience was politely attentive but sceptical. Some day electricity made on mj ranch from water power will be sent to Ban Francisco." he would declare.

FIRHT POWER' PLANT The llrst power plant In this area was constructed on the Shasta River a few miles norui of Yroka In YtSl. During tho next few years aim!- i lar small plants were Installed at many points throughout Northern ; Calllornia and Southern Oregon. I Practically all of them were In stalled Initially to serve a single j purpose, such as Ihe operation ol a sawmill. Hour mill, mine, Irri gation pump or even a brewery. The plants were generally of auf licicnt size to serve, the primary purpose only, and because most ol them were operated on direct cur rent, their transmission capabili ties were limited. Power was supplied to the public principally lor lighting, on a sched ule which normally started one hour bcloro sun-up . and continued until 8 p.m., 10 p.m. or midnight, depending upon Uie operator. Ser vice was indifferent, limited and costly. The average rates Were aboul 35 cents per kilowatt hours. Shortly alter the turn ol the century, men of vision constructed larger plants, opcrsting on alter nating current, extended transmis sion lines, provided 24-hour ser vices, encouraged industry and started a continuing program of technological advancement.
