MORE ELECTRIC POWER

Another important step has been
taken in the evolution Of Los Angeles
as great manufacturing center. The
falling supply of electric energy for
power and lighting purposes in the
city has been reinforced by the large
output from the Kern river plant con"
structed by the Edison company. Now
we have assurance of sufficient power
to meet all requirements in the great
expansion of the future until the
enormous power resources of the Owens
river water plant become available.
The Kern river electric plant has
been in course of construction about
four years. The rapidly increasing
needs of the city made it necessary to
seek a power source much farther away
than any then in service. Experience
pointed to the need Of timely meas
ures and to the ultimate determination
of the Edison company to go 120 miles
northward in quest of greater power
resources.
It was a repetition of what the COM
pany had done five years prior to that
time. Nine years ago the Edison COM
pany harnessed the electric power of
the Santa Ana river at a point in the
canyon eighty miles east of Los An
geles.
AT that time the nearer sources of
supply were in course of rapid exhaus-
ton. The Santa Ana was the nearest
source available for large output of
electric energy. But at that period 1T
was a moot question among electrical
experts whether it was practicable to
transmit electric power a distance of
eighty miles.
1t is an interesting fact in the his
tory of electric transmission that even
so high an authority as Thomas A.
Edison expressed grave doubts about
the success Of the undertaking. Nicola
Tesla, however, specialist in this par
ticular branch of electric science, made
the following response to the request
of friend for his opinion:
"As nearly as 1 can understand from
your letter there would not be the
slightest difficulty in exploiting the
power and transmitting it to dis
tance of more than eighty miles. BY
means of the polyphase system, as sup
piled by the Westinghouse and General
Electric companies, power can be
readily and economically transmitted
10 ,raof icfa
These facts are interesting now be-
cause of their bearing on the vast re-
sources of electric energy that Los An
geles will have at command when the
Owens river water plant is completed.
The matter, of distance is no bar to the
utilization of the Owens river water
for power purposes.
The sources of electric power near
Los Angeles were sufficient for all pur-
poses until nine years ago, when the
Santa Ana river was tapped near its
source for supply to meet increasing
needs. Since that time the population
of the city has trebled and Kern river
has been tapped in order to keep pace
with the corresponding electric demand.
Probably by the time the Owens river
supply is available the Kern river out
put, great as 1t is, will prove to be in
sufficient.

of the elbow and wrist, the groin
and the armpit, contain nerves
and blood vessels which are less

behind the knee contains two

DANGEROUS REPTILES OF
NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA,

Numberless as the sands of the
Southwestern desert are the my
of the deadly reptiles and other poison
Gus things that are commonly suppos-
ed to infest every bunch of mesquite
and cactus. Nevertheless, it may safe
ly he affirmed that there are only
three dangerous creatures in the
whole Southwest. Most dreaded of
all is the r~attlesnake, but hardly less
to be feared is the commonplace
skunk. More deadly thai either of
these-but less considered because 20
rare that few persons ever see it's
the hog nosed viper. The celtipede,
the ella monster, the scorpion and the
%tarantula are not by any a pleas
ant companions, but none of them is
dangerous-contrary as the assertion
may be to accepted traditions.
No living creature is mor universal
ly feared than the ella monster. Yet
inquiry fails to bring to light a single
authenticated instance of the bite of
this creature having resulted fatally.

Some years ago William H. Cobb a
pioneer Civil engineer, who has car
ried the transit over almost every
mile now ~traversed by the Santa Fe
route in the territories, with a few 9th
er inquisitive spirits of Albuquerque,
undertook to settle the mooted point
as to whether the ella monster was
really dangerous Or not A fine Speci-
men was captured and confined in a
wire Enclosure. Then a chicken was
secured and the feathers removed
from its breast, that the reptile might
have a fair chance to do its worst.
The chicken was the hello close to
the lizard. It snapped v~iciously at
the chickens breast, securing a firm
hold and not letting go for ten min
utes. When it released it's victom it
was found that its breast bone was
broken. Nevertheless biddy quickly
recovered, the bone knitting and the
wound healing over without swelling
or giving any indications of poison
ing. This appears to furnish good
foundation for the belief that the
dreaded ella monster is really as
harmless as are all of its nero

TEMPLARS BEGIN A
GREAT cONC1AVE.

Saratoga, N. Y, July 8.-One of the
most brilliant and imposing spectac-
les ever seer in this city is presented
today by the gay uniforms and flash
ing swords of thousands of Knights
Templar assembled here for the tnir-
tieth triennial %co1clave. Scores of
trains this morning added to the
throngs c~ongregated yesterday and the
total attendance of delegates and visi-
tors will probably approach 100, 900.
A royal reception was given the incom
ing communicates and all the knights
and ladies will be comfortably cared
for in Saratoga's big hotels. Canada
n Mexico, as well as every state and
territory of the Union are well repre-
scented by delegates. The command
cry of the City of Mexico, and only
one in the southern republic, which
has been operating under a dispense
ton, will be granted a charter during
the conclave. A large delegation is
here from Minneapolis and will at
tempt to secure the 1910 conclave for
that city.
Elaborate preparations have been
made for the reception to be given
this evening at the Grand Union Ho-
tel. The grand elcampment and grand
commandery officers and their ladies
will preside. and the Earl of Euston,
King Edwards personal representa-
tive, and other distinguished knights
from England will be among the
guests of honor. The reception will
be held in the magnificent ball room
of the hotel and will be the most elab-
crate social event of the conelave.
The grand parade will take place to
morrow and it is expected that nearly
$4,000 men will be in line. Wednesday
will be devoted to prize drills, which
will be held on the Saratoga race
track A progressive ball will be
feature.
