migration or interconnection of power
plants and systems results from needing the
old warning against carrying all of the eggs
in one basket. Any INDIVIDUAL power
plant might be subjected to sudden and
unanticipated demands that would exceed
it's capacity; it might encounter prolonged
failure of equipment due to sabotage or ac-
cident impossible to foresee; if it were a
hydro-electric plant it could be embarrassed
in times of drought.
By combining the resources of MANY
plants through i~nterconnecting transmits
sion lines, power can be allocated to best
advantage throughout the territory served
and such Indignation provides electrical
customers with insurance against made
quacy or complete failure of power supply.
A power shortage occurring at one point can
be offset by a surplus available elsewhere
in the system.
The Montana Power Company's IA gene
rating plants are i~ntraconnected. In addi-
ton, our system is int]erconnected with the
power plants of other business-managed
companies operating in Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Utah.
1t is a truism that in the face of the pres
ent war emergency every resource of the
nation must be utilized and coordinated to
the best advantage. The management OF
your Company, as we'll as that of the other
business-managed companies in the North
west, stands ready to cooperate with the
administrator of the federal hydroelectric
projects at Bonneville and Grand Coulee so
that mutual helpfulness and the most effici-
emit distribution Of electric power may be
achieved without unnecessary government
expenditures and the waste Of vital copper.

$2,788,357 FOR


The 161, 00O-volt interconnecting trans
mission line between Anaconda, Montana,
and Grace, Utah, referred to in the last an
nual report, was placed in commercial op-
GRAFTON in 1941. The entire line is 274 miles
long. The Montana Power Company built
1925 miles-the portion lying within Mon
tana- This line added Utah and Southern
Idaho to the northwest grid which includes
plants and distributing systems in Washing
ton, Oregon, Northern Idaho and Montana.
The ability of these systems to exchange
electrical energy greatly increases the flexi-
bility and availability of power for war
purposes in the areas served by the prop
critics comprising the network.
A new 25-mile SO, 000-volt transmission
line between Bozeman and Livingston was
completed in June to replace a former line
built in 1910. 1t was built to anticipate the
future industrial and residential require
ments of the Livingston District and to
supply power to mining operations.
Lines added in 1941 raised the Company's
mileage operated to a total of 5,501 miles
of electric lines at the year end.
Construction was also undertaken Incl
dent to increasing the voltage of the Kerr
Plant-Anaconda line from 100, 900 volts to
161. 900 volts.
Besides the major projects listed above,
ton and maintenance work was carried ON.
The Company and subsidiaries spent
$2,788,357 for property additions in 1871.
After deducting retirements of property,
net additions for the year totaled $2,136,672.

Extracts From The Montana Power Company l94l Annual Report
POWER for WAR
34l Annual Report

During 1941 The Montana Power Com
pany delivered the largest industrial cleo
trical load in it's history. The major portion
OF this power was used to produce large
amounts of copper. zinc, manganese, also
chromium, vanadium, cadmium and indi-
UNI. all being essential to the production of
material for war purposes.
This load is one of the largest loads of
electrical! energy used for purely war pur-
poses in the United States. Incidentally it is
the low cost of electrical energy in Montana
that makes it possible to mine low-grade
ore deposits lying at great depths. This
circumstance has kept Montana's mining
camps and smelter towns on a producing
basis, thereby contributing enormously to
Montana pay rolls and tax collections. Now,
in time of war, cheap electricity Is a potent
DEFENSE BONDS
At the close of the year a plan was de-
vised whereby employees could voluntarily
designate a portion of their monthly sala-
ries to be set aside for the purchase of war
bonds. The handling of such individual bond
purchases and their delivery is done
through the Accounting Department as a
convenience to the employees.
MEN IN SERVICE
Many of our men have been called into
military service. Every remaining employee.
however, may be considered as a direct
service to the nation, due to the fact that
this is an essential defense industry. The
bulk of The Montana Power C~ompany's
electric load is devoted to the production of
metals and other vital war materials.
