 Birmingham
TO TAKE TT WITH HIM

q have been deeply impressed with Bir- mingham,' said I. U. Sammls. grand ex- alted ruler of the order of Elks, before leaving on the afternoon train for his home. "Of course this is great city. Its rapid change from country town to metropolitan center is one of the many similar wonders of this age.
 ''I have today visited the steel mills at Ensley, and have seen the mines from which you are digging wealth. One can- not witness these many industrial ac- tivities and forget them in a year. confess I was surprised by the magnifi- cent buildings, beautiful residence, and the spread of the district over this beau- tiful valley.
 But the memory which I will always cherish is the Dig, broad smile on every countenance. Instead of a city of grimy soot and smoke I found myself in a gar den of bright colors, with every counte- nance of the sun, and the light of good fellowship challenging the clouds.
 "As I was whisxed about in an auto- mobile I found the sidewalks and the roadways lined with smiles. This must be happy people, and, after all, it is not the mountains, nor the ore, but the optimism of the average man that builds the office buildings and the furnaces. "I felt as though I had come among people who are living today. You need no buttons or badges to speak a welcome, for every face beams Hello, Bill! and one feels that he has reached a reservoir of brotherhood. where even an Elk can drink without timerity.
 q have caught the Birmingham smile today, and will take it with me to the brotherhood wherever I go."

POWER COMPANY LEAD
Nevada California SeizeS 0ppor-
tunity to Make Transmits
sion Line Extension

KELLER. Cal, June 25.-Owing to
the change in the plans of the city for
the completion of the upper section of
the owens river aqueduct the loss Of
several large power consumers will un-
doubtedly result. The Nevada Cali
fornia Power company, selling the op-
portunity made by the delay, is plan
ming the extension of it's transmission
line down the valley from Bishop to
Keeler for the purpose of furnishing
power to the several small cities in the
southern end of the valley-the Four
Metals Mining and Smelling company,
operating the Cerro Gordo lead mines
and smelter at Keeler; the Inyo De-
Velopment company, whose soda plant
is located one mile north of Keeler, and
the Pacific Consolidated Stone COM
pany, operating the Swansea and Inyo
groups of marble quarries, extending
along the marble range from two to
seven miles north of Keeler along the
railroad. The Pacific Consolidated
Stone company alone, upon the instala-
tion of it's new.mill and improved quarry
machinery, will need power sufficient
to take half the output of the upper
Cottonwood power plant of the city Of
Los Angeles.
1t has been ascertained from re-
liable source that negotiations are
pending for the purchase of the Big
Pine creek water rights by the Nevada
California Power company, which
rights have been developed by the -Four
Metals Mining and Smelling company
for the purpose of brining the power
across the valley to their properties.
This power project will be in competi-
ton with the city for the contracting
for the purpose of bringing the power
Pacific Consolidated Stone company,
over whose property their lines cross.
Were 1t not for the delay in the plans
of the city the total output of its power
plant could be contracted for imme-
diately and the result of the delay will
no doubt be that this large power cor
poration will be able to step in ahead
and obtain the present business that
there is to be had in the southern end
of the valley.
There are at least 10000 acres of land
along the route of the proposed line,
which are susceptible of irrigation by
means of pumping plants for which
electricity is the cheapest source of
power for pumping purposes.
