Years' Fine Service
To Montana ...
Forty-four years is not so long, as time goes, but it
brings changes. The differences apparent in the serv
ing of electricity between December 12, 1912, and De
cember 12, 1956, are noteworthy.
For Instance, today: K
Electricity costs only one-sixth as much. The aver
age cost per residential kilowatt-hour in 1913, the first
year for which 12-month figures are available, was
12.66 cents. In 1956, it was only 2.2 cents!
Each customer uses 17 times as much electricity. In
1913, the average yearly consumption of electricity was
202 kwh per residential customer. Today he uses
3,450!
We have nearly 8 times as many customers. Back in
1913, it was estimated the average number of resi
dential customers was 16,000. We now have 118,233
residential customers and a total of 140,961 customers
of all types—residential, Industrial and commercial.
Service is bette-. The men of the Company provided
fine service 44 years ago, but today they do even better,
thanks to radio and microwave equipment that speeds
word of trouble faster. Repairs are made more quickly
as a result
We have more power. Add there are dozens of other
advances we have made.

HAD GUARD FOR CHRISTMAS DAY
Wilbur F. Sanders, Montana pioneer who served as prosecutor of
the road agents at Virginia City, wrote in December 1899 of his first
Christmas in Montana.
He spent it at Virginia Citv in 1863. Four nights before the citzens
of the mining camp had hanged a murderer with “resolute stemess
resolvin-r to put an end to a saturnalia of robbery and blood." Because
Sanders was the prosecutor a bodyguard of four persons had seen as
signed to him. The citizens feared that “I was in mortal peril,” Sapd
ers wrote. He spent Christmas with these men.
“Our turkeys came from Salt Lake vallev and cost from S3O to S4O
apiece. Our Christmas dinner was at the ‘Mechanical Bakery’ late in
the dav and meanwhile we discharged the not entirely customary social
functions.”
The prosecutor wrote that conditions had compelled “us to form a
Vigilance Committee, then in its chrysalis state, and as we celebrated
Christmas we watched each other with intense solicitude, wondering,
if in the crisis certain to come, there would be any flinching.
"... we nevertheless had a good cheer and voted that we had all
enjoyed a very Merry Christmas.”
