They are made of porcelain and Of iron,

products. The magnets are so designed
that it is impossible for the men who
are placing them to receive shock.
Electricians who have studied this
matter say that this is the beginning of
new era in the appliance of electricity
to mechanical purposes. Inventive gen.
ius is making it more and more possible
every day to utilize this powerful fac
tor and at the same time place it beyond
the power of persons who are about it
to receive even the slightest injury
When this fact has been thoroughly
demonstrated it is believed that cleo

Bakersfield Is the county seat and
principal town Of Kern county, distant
1853 miles north from Los Angeles and 314
miles south from San Francisco, on the
Southern Pacific railroad. It is situat-
ed at the southern extremity Of the San
Joaquin Valley, portion Of the great
interior basin of California. is division
headquarters on the Southern Pacific
railroad and has the largest machine
shops between Los Angeles and Sacra-
mento. The valley surrounding Bakers
field is comparatively level, and is en-
circled on three sides by lofty mountains,
the SUBMITS Of which are covered with
perpetual snow. The soil is OF an allu-
vial character, deep, fertile and easily
cultivated 1t is almost entirely free
from stones or other distractions and
large proportion of the land is ready for
the plow without clearing. The climate
Is mild and healthful; hot in summer,
but being a dry heat, it is not enervat-
ing. Light frosts occur in December,
January and February, and light raira-
1all6 from November to April.
PRODUCTIONS
Wheat, barley and other cereals grow
luxuriantly and the quality Is unsur-

best alfalfa section of the state, and the
product aggregates over 100, 900 acres an
nually. Vegetables of all kinds grow
as large, as good in quality and as much

States. All deciduous fruits and nuts
Of the temperate zone grow here to per-
fectiorl and citrus fruits grow success

are grown extensively between fruit
trees while the latter are coming into
bearing, and for years afterwards in
many districts. 1t is confidently assert

state that cannot be grown successfully

to be lifted, the electric connection Is
made by means of an ordinary switch
placed in a convenient position in the
operators cage. The magnets are 80
designed that they are practically
waterproof and can be used for handling
plates and other materials out of doors.
The double pole magnets in use by the
steel company can, as stated, handle
with safety five tons of metal, and for
this only require about four amperes
with a 240 volt current.
One of the greatest difficulties that
confronted the steel company when i;
first began to operate these magnets was
the task of handling the plates one at
a time. Of course it was not desirable
to pick up half dozen plates with the
magnet and throw them down in heap
somewhere. The system of handling
plates required that one plate at time
be taken care of. There was no prin-
ciple, or precedent to go by in bringing
about the desired result. and so it was
left to a keen-witted electrician to solve
the problem. He was the operator re-
ferred to In previous explanations of
the company's methods OF handling
steel, and he made study OF the matter.
1t was not very long after the intro
duction of electricity for this purpose
before this operator became very ex-
pert in operating the switch. 1t came to
him one day just what ought to be done
to bring the magnet up to the one plate
standard. So. after the magnet had beer
lowered on to the pile of plates, and sew
eral plates taken up, the operator pulled
the switch out, thereby breaking the
current for an instant He found that by
this operation one or two plates could
be dropped off at each breaking of the
current, the plates next to the magnet
retaining sufficient magnetism to hold
them to the steel Of the magnet itself
until the current was again switched or.
This operation was repeated until only
one plate remained attached to the.mag-
net, and 1t was then an easy matter to
deposit 1t in the desired location.

Of these in use Is termed. was especially

WATER POWER, LIGHT AND FUEL

The great canals which tap the Kern
river, besides the stream itself, which
makes sharp descent. furnish sufficient
water and electric power to operate
hundreds of manufacturing industries
The Power Development company, in
corporated, have developed electric
power at the mouth of the Kern river
canyon, fifteen miles northeast of
Bakersfield, which Is equal to 10000
horsepower. This electric power will
be sufficient for irrigating land. electric

About ! O'Clock yesterday afternoon 4
very serious affray occurred at the store
