against the background of Nebraska’s history, are but a
moment.
Measured, however, in terms of achievement, the fifteen
years from 1939 to 1954 that mark the life of Nebraska’s
publicly-owned Consumers Public Power District represent
an era.
When Nebraska became a territory in 1854, the vast bene
fits to be brought through the harnessing of electric power
were still far in the future.
It was 25 years later, in 1879, that Thomas Edison invented
the first practical incandescent electric light—an event that
is being commemorated this year by the power industry as
the “Diamond Jubilee of Light” under the slogan “Light
for Freedom—Power for Progress.”
It was another four years later, in 1883, that Nebraska’s
first electric light and power company was organized.*
Slowly, then, electricity began to work its miracles for the
people of Nebraska—to light the dark, to ease the drudgery,
to make living more enjoyable and work more profitable.
Each of these events was of untold significance—but most
significant of all to Nebraska has been the development of
fow-cosrt electricity, placed within reach of all by thousands
of miles of inter-connected high-voltage transmission lines.
Today, these lines stand as an ever-growing monument to
the pioneer spirit of building for the
future which, 100 years after the / »■ o
Nebraska territory was opened, still
characterizes the people of this state.
