year will go into the securities
market for Its biggest financing
ever to help pay for the biggest
construction budget in its his
tory, the utility’s president has
reported.
Albert Carlsen, addressing
the company’s 1973 marketing
conference here last week, said
additional shares of common
»lock and mortgage bonds must
be sold to finance new service
facilities required to supply in
creasing customer demands.
Idaho Power expects to offer
up to 750,000 shares of its
common stor k for sale by com
petitive bidding in New York
February 13 as the first step
in the year's record financing.
Carlsen told marketing re
presentatives at the conference
from throughout the utility’s
service area that a major por
tion of the highest-ever con
struction budget is earmarked
for the Jim Bridger generat
ing-transmission complex Idaho
Power is jointly building in
Wyoming and Idaho. The first

lected as Nyssa High School’s

1963.
This competition is held an

After attending the baskel-
ball game and dance in Ontario
Saturday night, Oswald Forbes,
Norvelle Leuck and Lawrence
Fisher looked for the Forbes’
car in vain. It had vanished
from the street where they had
parked it. Officers assisted
them in the midnight search but
to no avail.
Sunday night officers found
the car parked near the rail
road coal chute in Ontario. It
had not been harmed except that
a new battery hadbeen removed
and a bursted one had been left
in its place.

It was cold enough at West
fall yesterday to freeze Art
Shaw’s whiskers to his blanket.
In fact, he found himself pinned
fast by his long chin beard when
he awakened in his tent at the
ranch home of George Toombs.
It took only a yank and one
warm breath to release him
from an icy hold but he says
that was the first time he was
held fast by his whiskers.

Letters received last week
by E. L. Jamison from U. S.
Senator Guy Condon and U. S.
Representative Sam Coon sta-
ted that $50,000 is Mag al
lotted for clearing and straigh
tening of the Owyhee River
at several locations along the
lower eight miles of the stream.
This will be of benefit in
reducing flooding, if properly
maintained.

A large crowd, including
many persons from neighbor
ing churches attended the dedi
cation services held tn the Na-
zarene Church Sunday after
noon.
The Rev. Vern Martin, local
pastor, read a brief history
of the local church and told
how God had helped the mem
bers accomplish the task they
started to do July 11, 1937
when the church was organized
with 16 charter members.
When the first church at Sixth
and Main Streets became too
small to accommodate the gro
wing Sunday school, the church
purchased lots on Fifth Street
and Good Avenue and built the
new church building which was
finished during 1942.

If only operating costs are
considered, the Owyhee Ditch
Company stockholders paid only
60 cents per acre for irrigation
water during 1942. It is doubt
ful whether or not any water
user
anywhere had cheaper
water.

duied for production in mid-
1974 to supply Idaho Power cus
tomers.
Answering the question of
where the costs of all types of
energy are headed, Carlsen re
plied "Up."
But Carlsen added that he be
lieves the cost of electricity
generated from low-sulphur
Wyoming coal will rise less
rapidly than that ot other energy
forms that are in increasingly
short supply.
The "real problem” in the
industry, according to Carlsen,
'•Is getting timely and sufficient
rate relief to maintain its fi
nancial integrity.”
He added that in the Interest
of its customers and share
owners, Idaho Power has an
"obligation” to continue pro
viding electric energy at rates
below the national average.
Idaho Power’s average resi
dential rate per kilowatt-hour
is 75.27c of the national average.
Other speakers included R.
J. O'Connor, Idaho Power vice-
president, administration; R. F.
Klumpp,
vice-president, fi
nance; J. E. Bruce, vice-presi
dent and general counsel; and
G. J. Hall, vice-president, po
wer operations and engineering.
O’Connor, declaring that “we
are face-to-face with a national
energy crisis,” said Idaho Po
wer's marketing and advertis
ing in 1973 will stress the
"wise” use of electricity.
Idaho Power long has recom
mended "above standard” in
sulation
for
electirc-heat
installations, O’Connor said,
and now is advising its cus
tomers to conserve energy by
such means as preventing wa
ter-faucet leaks.
Klumpp said Idaho Power
must maintain its "high stan
ding” in the financial commu
nity in order to continue mar
keting its securities at favo
rable rates for the ultimate be
nefit of its customers and sha
reowners.
