A step toward fuller completion of tne Idaho Power
Company's system of great electrical plants to serve the
people with electrical energy so vitfel to the development
of Idaho—a step that is costing considerable money, is
now being made at Thousand Springs where we will
bring into operation a great power plant with a generat
ing capacity of 13,300 horsepower.
Will Insure Land from Drouth.
Day after day, stone masons, carpenters, blacksmiths,
steel workers, civil and electrical engineers, accountants
and many other experts and builders are toiling to com
plete as quickly as possible the Thousand Springs plant
so those who are waiting for this power may be served
in time for the summer irrigation season. '
The history of Thousand Springs is in itsedf of much in
terest, for it, is at this point where the famous "Lost
Rivers" of Idaho are supposed to break forth from their
barriers of rock and again leap beneath the sunshine and
stars to the Pacific ocean beyond. Our Thousand Springs
power plant site represents a most unique and elaborate
problem requiring the greatest engineering skill to solve.
Power From Waste of Lost Rivers.
Here at Thousand Springs, where the water is boiling
out from subterranean channels 186 feet above the Snake
river at a temperature of about 60 degrees Fahrenheit,
we have constructed a great imrness of cement and steel
which collects these waters that formerly went to waste
and generates them into power than can be delivered
hundreds of miles away to homes and farms which other
wise would be without light or power.
One Unit of a Great System.
In 1906 the first unit of the Thousand Springs plant was
completed, with a generating capacity of 5300 horsepow
er. The new unit, now under construction .will generate
8000 horsepower, making this plant capable of producing
13,300 horsepower of electrical energy. Most of this will
be used for irrigation purposes in the summertime—for
pumping water from the Snake river to make the parched
lands spring into waving fields of alfalfa, wheat and
other grains, or become checkered with fruitful orchards.
Thousand Springs plant is only one unit of our great system of elec
trical development. We are offering everybody an opportunity to
become a stockholder in our big organization which is one of the
