DENVER — Power and phone service was knocked out yesterday for more than two million customers from Canada to the Southwest after a key power line inexplicably failed on a day of record temperatures. Utility officials could not immediately explain what caused the disruption, which involved a 4,500 megawatt line supplying electricity from hydroelectric dams in the Pacific Northwest to 2.2 million homes in the south. Hydroelectric supply line fails The Associated Press 148 Burge Union 864-5665 J4 Hardesty, Attorney at Law Blackout cripples 11 states The outage affected parts of Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada as well as the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, according to Bonneville Power Administration, which overseees the power lines in the Pacific An estimated 500,000 customers were affected in northern and central California, said representative Mary Rodrigues of Pacific Gas & Electric. But within an hour, that was down to about 75,000 customers, the utility said. The high-voltage line, which was out of service for only 30 minutes, was carrying 4,000 megawatts of power at the time of the break. Gruber said. One megawatt is enough to power 1,000 single family homes for a day. "We're still trying to figure that out," BPA representative Perry Grubber said.

It could be days before anyone knows for sure. he said "I would have to say this is big," Donnelly said. knocked off line by a problem elsewhere. Only minimal problems were reported in Los Angeles. Customers in parts of the city had 15-minute power outages, said Southern California Edison representative Steve Hansen. That forced all the power onto the two remaining lines, which couldn't handle the load and shut down, he said. Edison was able to borrow electricity from the Metropolitan Water District, which diverted power from seven of the giant pumps it uses to push water through the Colorado aqueduct, said MWD representative Bob Muir. Gary Donnelly, a representative of PacifiCorp in Portland, Ore., said four 500 megawatt coal-fired power plants at Rock Springs, Wyo., also went off-line at about 2:30 p.m. MDT. PacifiCorp provides power to seven Western states. Joe Marshall of Idaho Power Co. said the outage occurred when one of the three main transmission lines connecting the Pacific Northwest with California failed. Utilities quickly began restoring service. Boise, Idaho, had its service restored in less than two hours, officials said. "We do not expect a long outage for these remaining customers," said PG&E representative Tony Leadwell. STUDENT SENATE A Bonneville Power Administration representative said he didn't yet know whether the high-voltage line caused the blackouts or was Outages were spotty and some areas were not affected, even within cities that did have blackouts. Customers were without power for only a few minutes in many areas but 90 minutes or more elsewhere. At Ketchum, Idaho, customers in Atkinson's Market finished up their shopping by the glow of emergency lights. Most hospitals and emergency services were not affected because they have auxiliary power plants. There were no immediate reports of people trapped in elevators. Some banks locked their doors. "I decided not to get ice cream," Judy Smooke said. MOSCOW — Russians started voting for president today after a campaign of stunning reversals, backroom deals and a new, last-minute cloud over Boris Yeltsin's health. In 25 hours of balloting, the vast nation faces a stark choice: going forward with painful democratic reforms or turning back to Soviet controls. Neon lights and slot machines briefly went dark in Reno casinos before their generators kicked in. Northwest. The switchboard was burning up," reporter Maxine Carlin said. "It was so widespread that we just said, 'You're not alone.'" Telephone service also appeared to be affected in some areas. About 25 people called radio station KVON-AM in Napa, Calif., to ask what was going on. In Nevada, police in Reno and Sparks reported that so many traffic lights went out of service they ran out of temporary stop signs. The Associated Press The outage came on a day when utilities were stretched to their limits, with afternoon temperatures ranging from 90 degrees to more than 100. Salt Lake City had a record high of 102 degrees. The pumps were turned back on in about an hour, he said. The district is the primary water supplier for the Los Angeles area. The decisive runoff between Yeltsin and Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov started with the opening of polls in the Far East, nine time zones ahead of Moscow. The first results from the 93,500 polling stations are expected today. Yeltsin's forces hoped for a large turnout among the country's 108 million eligible voters that would carry him past a solid, loyal bloc of voters Russian presidential runoff election held today They see the Soviet past as a time of secure paychecks and superpower status, when they may have been poor but they didn't have to watch the luxury cars of the new rich zoom past them. His support comes mainly from older Russians who have watched the value of their pensions almost vanish, rural residents, and workers dependent on the government, from miners to farmers to military officers. Yeltsin, the country's first elected president, has come to personify the continuation of democratic, freemarket reforms that have benefited some Russians but caused pain to millions of others. who back Zyuganov's plan for a Communist future. from increased economic controls to clampdowns on the press and Western culture. His support comes mainly from the young, city dwellers, people in business, the intelligentsia, and those who don't want a return to the severe shortages, travel restrictions and harsh repression of communism. The end of the campaign was shadowed by uncertainty over Yeltsin's health. The 65-year-old president with a history of heart trouble canceled a series of meetings in the last week of the campaign. He looked exhausted, subdued and pale in a taped TV appearance. His spokesman said he had a cold. Yeltsin remained out of public view on yesterday, a day marked by Communist charges that their campaign ads were not shown by TV. Zyuganov, 52, also tried to make Yeltsin's health an issue in the closing hours of the campaign, but the Yeltsin-dominated media ignored it. In the last days of the campaign, Zyuganov tried to demonstrate his vigor by inviting reporters to watch Having roared through nearly five years of rapid change since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia has arrived at a crossroads. Yeltsin has pursued a generally Western-oriented foreign policy. Lyuganov seeks the voluntary restoration of the Soviet Union, and believes the West is fundamentally hostile to Russia's interests. him play volleyball and dance in a smoky Moscownightclub. 928 Mass. 843-0611 Neighborhood Grill & Bar 10% off with KU Student I.D. 25th & Iowa 832-8338 Valid Sum. - Thurs. only 8 p.m. - Close (Dine-in only) Not valid with any other offer Apartments that fit your lifestyle Designed with the KU student in mind.
