and farmers and to none of these did
the Malad river present its true fit
ness. After all, the term pioneer is
relative, and while all honor is due
to those first corners to the state and
for their part In the discovery and
presentation OF Idaho and its natural
advantages to the world, still, honor
as a pioneer is also justly due to
the man who first made use of the
states latent resources Of water
power.
When Num- Came
The first one to greatly appreciate
the full value Of the Malad river as
source of power was L. l.. Num- Of
Telluride. Colorado, a pioneer of the
west in water power development. Mr.
Num- was the earliest discoverer of
the practical possibility of long dis.
lance power transmission and it was
his work and experiments that made
POSSIBLE the enormous development OF
water power development of the west,
years. In 1890 at TIE luride, Colo
rado, Mr.. Mum and his associates
constructed and successfully operat-
ed the first high tension transmits
sion line in the world and since then
his name has been identified with the
water power development Of the west
first in Colorado, then in Utah and
Montana, and later In Idaho. In ad.
dition to this, Mr.. Num- construc. ed
and put into operation the Ontario
Power company's plant at Niagara
Falls, which Is still the largest hydro
electric development In the world.
River Short But Mighty
To such a man the value OF the
Malad river was apparent. Here was
river but three miles in length with
a maximum effective fall of 270 feet
in less than two miles Of its length.
with a constant flow never less than
100 second feet and with water Of
an even temperature the year round
of approximately 80 degrees which
frees 1t absolutely from ice trouble,

trio development. In such a river, the
ideal Of power development is almost
reached.
Mr.. Num- first commenced the de.
velopment of the Malad river In 1906
and in the fall and winter of that
year he expended upwards OF $4,000
in building grades and in eng 'neering
the proposition. Since then he de.
velopment of the river has been con-
slant and rapid, and in the spring OF
1912 the first power plant of 1900
horse power capacity was completed
and put into operation. This plant,
however. represents but little more
than quarter of the ultimate cap
acity available. The total available
power development of the river is
$4,000 horse power an additional por.
ton Of which is now being developed
and the remainder will be utilized as
rapidly as is possible.

Big WoEder Of Idaho
A few OF the old timers were curl.
Gus enough to trace this remarkable
river to its source. They were not
obliged to journey far, for in less than
three miles the source Of the stream
was found. Here was one Of the beau

which the development of the river
was accomplished. However as this
corporation owns a la &c hydro cleo

stable for convenience in operation
to separate the property in the vari-
Gus states and to that end the Idaho
Power and Light company was organ
lied and the rights and properties OF
tie Beaver River Power company
transferred to 1t late in the present
year. This new corporation under
the leadership of Mr.. Mum kept up
the active development on the Malad
and at the present time the mammoth
flume approximately 5000 feet long

being constructed as rapidly as posi-.

men are employed at the present time
on this enterprise. THIS development
will be completed during 1914.

auxiliary steam plant OF $500 horse
power capacity was installed in Boise.

the company commenced its operation
and for the first time the citizens of
southern Idaho were afforded the ad.
vantage of the remarkable power val.

the unusual advantages of this water
power and the economical manner In
which 1t was developed. the company
was able to offer unusually low rates
for it's service and as result the
