The Los Angeles Investor, after citing the
fact that the electric company which takes
its power from the Kern River, with the
intention of transmitting it to Los Angeles,
has secured franchises from both Kern
and Los Angeles counties, notes that
right of way through the Government
forest reservation will next have to be
secured by act of Congress. 1t was an
nounced in The CALL a few days ago
that a bill providing for a right of
way twenty-five feet wide for poles and
wires over Government land has been
introduced in Congress. This, if passed,
will do away with the necessity for special
acts, and the presumption is that forest
reservations will come within its scope. If
there is any doubt about it the bill should
be made to cover that point. There is an
enormous amount OF water power in the
Sierra behind the Government forest
reservations. and in time it will be in de-
mand for the development of the San
Joaquin Valley.
The Riverside Press announces that Red
lands is soon to have electric lights. 1t
says: "The contract having been awarded
to the California Electric Works of San
Francisco for furnishing Riverside with an
electric lighting plant, the work of con-
structing the same viii soon be commenced.
1t is estimated that at the end of four
months the electric lights will be turned
on over the valley. and all the citys main
streets and avenues will be brilliantly
lighted with electricity.
The Republican-Press of Ukiah is con-

Mr.. Stetson. This would work q virtual

settled. Evidently our Ukiah contempo.
rary fears that the consolidation would be
detrimental to Mendocino County, as it
says: "The final result of the present con-
troversy will be watched with great inter

ley, and with one accord they hope that
the present management will remain in
control. If it does they regard the Low
Gap road as a certainty, and the enterprise
will prove OF lasting benefit to Mendo-
cino."

1t was not the most propitious weather

STATE MILITIA.
Sweeping Reduction in the Numerical
Strength of the First Regiment.
Other Changes

By the issuance of regimental orders
No. from headquarters First Regiment of
Infantry, n. G. c., some of the effects of
the recent attempts at reorganization are
becoming apparent. This order discharges
ninety-six members of the regiment for
various causes, which is more than one
twelfth of the nu merical strength of the
regiment, the heaviest losses being in the
consolidated companies, as follows: Com
pany A, made up of companies A and z
of the Third, losing eleven men, Company
b, made up OF companies B and d of the
Third, losing eleven men; Company III.
made up OF companies b and + of the
Third, losing twenty-three men, and Com
pany NJ, made of com panies G and II OF
the Second, losing twenty-five men.
The order also approves the findings and
sentence in the case of Private Walter E.
Cook of Company E, who was tried by
summary court-martial
1t is now stated that companies + and
K Will remove from their present quarters
in the regimental armory on Page street
to the armory on Ellis street, thus leaving
eight companies at the Page-street armory
and four at the Elis-street armory.
Some time ago this announcement was
made and the captains of these companies
commenced to make arrangements to re-
move to the Eilis-street 'armory, but this
was stopped, apparently under orders from
headquarters, it being announced that the
regiment would have to be concentrated
in one armory.
At the same time the companies located
on Market street received orders to remove
to the Page-street armory, and upon their
objecting upon the ground of Insufficient
accommodations, their officers were in
formed that there was ample accommoia-
tion for all, and that they would have to
comply, 1t being the intention of the board
of location to concentrate the command in
one place as soon as practical BILE.
The proposed removal of companies F
and K must therefore mean that either the
board of location has found it impractical
bic TO locate all the companies in one
building, and therefore reconsiders its in
structions, or that these companies are at
tempting to carry out their original inten-
ton OF moving, which was only temporar-
lily deferred, although the Signal Corps
was directed to move for the purpose of
obtaining sufficient room to house the
companies of the regiment.
