For 104 years they remained just that ---nothing more. Up to 11 years ago, virtually all the great water power sites of Montana served no useful purpose. (The exceptions were Canyon Ferry and Hauser Lake on the Missouri, near Helena, one site in the canyon of the Madison and tin smallest of the Cascades on the Missouri at Great Falls. riifortunately I lauser Lake Dam lui(1 eollapsed and with it the company organized to build it.) • For a quarter of a century, the development of the great water powers at Great Falls had been talked of and hoped for. Yet they remained in exactly the same state Lewis and Clark found them. The Montana Power Company did not appropriate these sites. They were bought from James J. Hill and his associates, who had owned and held undisputed title to them for 25 years. The men who furnished the money to develop these water powers took what they considered a big risk ---more than \a sporting chance.\ At the time, no one else was anxious, or even willing, to take the risk. These men hoped and expected that a paying business could be developed. They believed ---and still believe—that' the people of Montana wanted the resources of the state developed and would give them a fair chance to make a success of the enterprise. Tt was the faith and courage of these men, plus their money, that induced hundreds of other investors to match the original investment with savings of their own. As the Company found money with which to develop power, it had to find markets for it ---but of this we shall speak in another advertisement. • • • It is plain to every one that The Montana Power Company can sell only the amount of power that can be produced at the lowest flow of the river. Hence the flow has to be evened up ---the flood waters held back by dams and reservoirs ---for use during low water periods. For clams and reservoirs to furnish head for the water wheels, hold back the floods and increase the stream flow in dry seasons, the Company has spent $18,000,000. For building and equipping 13 plants to generate power, the Company has expended $9,000,000. To serve cities located near power sites, the building of transmission systems is a comparatively modest item. But the 38,000 customers of The Montana Power Company live insixty cities, towns a nd hamlets, scattered over a territory 300 miles square ---an area one and one-half times that of New England. To serve customers living in this vast territory, the Company has had to build 2,000 miles of high tension lines, together with sub -stations and distributing systems, at a cost of over $10,000,000. The larger part of the State of Montana is served by The Montana Power Company. Its present system furnishes light and power to every customer, big or little, who needs it. It is able to produce this light and power economically and, at the same time, sell it cheaply at a profit because some hundreds of investors had faith in Montana. THE MONTANA POWER COMPANY JOHN D.
