Running underneath the all suspension line in the previous photos is a 14.4 kV single phase tap serving some homes and farms. This pole just has to be old enough (pre-1954) to have been a pole of the Mountain States Power Co., a predecessor to Tillamook PUD. The wooden insulator side brackets on the telephone line are a really good clue to this pole's age. They haven't used those for........ YEARS!
