HAPPY CAMP THRIVES, even on a Sunday morning, since timber replaced gold as
the community's major source of economy. A handful of residents a few years ago
formed the nucleus of a town that grew to considerable size nearly overnight on the
Klamath River about 60 miles west of Yreka. Photo by Peggy Walsh.

SOMES BAR is one of the colorful little communities thai
hang on the banks of the Salmon and Klamath Rivers in
southwestern Siskiyou County. A scattering of tourists
and sportsmen helps keep the old towns going since gold
mining subsided. Logging and lumbering help, too.

Here's A Fast Method
Boosting Plug Power

It's almost an accepted fact
that no house has enough electri
cal outlets, and those it has are
in the wrong places.
This has given rise to the trail
ing extension cord, the octupus-
like, three-way cube tap. and a
generally confused and unsafe sit
uation. The only alternative for
the homeowner was to knock holes
in the wall and install additional
outlets.
Plug Power
But in the last few years sev
eral manufacturers have come up
with lyjies of surface - mounted
strip outlets. The strip contains
two wires in a plastic channel. It
can be mounted on the wall along
the baseboard, on the floor or
along a counler top. Outlets can
be installed almost anvwhere
along its length.
One thing it docs not do is to
increase the amount ot power
available. Such a strip connect
ed to a 15-amn circuit can still
carry no more than 15 amps, no
matter how many outlets you add.
So resist the temptation. Don't
install more outlets than a cir
cuit can handle.
Plug-in strips vary widely.
There is one that is nothing more
than a plastic strip with a cord
:ind plug which is plugged into an
existing outlet. The strip can han
dle about three items, is fastened
down with two screws.
Up Stairs, Too
Others are more versatile, can
be run around a room in an un
broken line, can turn corners
and go up stairs.
One type consists of two wires
in a plastic jacket and surlace
mounted outlets. Whenever an out
let is desired, the strip is cut, the
wires exposed and the outlet
snapied on. A plug can be
snaped on at one end and
plugged into an outlet.
Versatility
Another style is more elalwrate
but also more versatile. Wires arc
contained on opxsite edges of
Uie strip, remain covered at all
limes. Outlets can be added any
where, changed anytime by twist
ing into place in the tracks that
cover the wires.
The system comes with social
outlets, elbows, tecs and end
caps. A social adapter takes the
place- of your present outlet.
Wires in the adapter are con
nected to house wires. With an
elbow or tee plugged into t h e
adapter the strip can run in one
or both directions.
The strip is flexible enough to
turn corners. But if you wish to
change directions, you must use
an elbow. Caps are used to cover
the .ends of the strips.
Watch Out
One word of caution. Remove
j the line fuse when installing any
of these surface lines. You may
I forget and cut the strip while
'it's hot.
The strips arc held down with
screws, generally have holes pro
vided for them at regular inter
vals. Surface outlets are particularly
welcome along the work area in
the kitchen for toaster, mixer and
blender. In the bedroom you
might run one back of your bed
for reading lamp and outlets for
clock and radio.
