substitute for coal. Under what con
ditions are the people who still owr
most of the power, going to give
franchise for power development? Is
it better to trust this treasure to the
judgment of conrgess or the judgment
of the individual states?
The imagination of the scientists
and the financiers engaged in power
acquisition and development knows
no bounds. Already a traveller can
look about and see evidence of the
civilization of the future. Through
the south and west and in New Eng
land, run the great transmission lines
held aloft on steel skeleton towers.
Here is a stream with dam and tur-
bine. 1t throws its 100, 500 or 1000
horsepower into the heavy current on
the transmission wires, as a brook
runs into a stream. Over hills, across
valleys, through forests, runs the zig
gag line of the wires, verging here
to tap a power" turning there tc
run into a mill town, while trolley
cars flash between communities, mills
hum, villages glow at night, all draw
ing the magic power from the trans
mission lines.
In the future the country will be
crisscrossed with these overhead trunk
lines. Today this some power is be-
ing used to draw the very nitrogen
from the air and sack it for fertilizer.
The power magnates foresee the day
when the current will operate farm
ers' trucks along model country roads.
These are glimpses of the future. An
other is the rapid formation of pow
er companies to operate public ser
vice functions of cities, single COM
panies controlling the light, power
and transportation of scores of cities,
Will the country awake some day
to find its cities and industries in
the control of single giant corpora
ton, with a new and greater genera
ton of Rockefellers and Morgans? 1t
is the opinion of Louis d. Brandies Of
Boston, that there will be only two
monopolies in the future to deal with
the monopoly of credit, which is the
money trust, and the water power
trust, which will be the mother of al
other monopolies. AS congress deals
with this water power problem it will
deal with the destiny of coming gen.
erations.
Imperial Valley press., 1913-12-01

1t deslared that ten groups of pow
er interests control 65 per cent of all
the developed water-power of the
United States. Two years ago the ten
greatest power groups controlled 81
270,000 horsepower developed and un-
developed; today ten groups control
6,270,0O0.
1t is commercially possible and
practicable now to develop 30,0OO,OO0
horsepower of hydroelectric power
within the United States. As the
coal deposits are exhausted and the
price Of steam power rises this figure
may be greatly augmented. Of the
30,O00,0O0 horsepower that can now
compete with coal, the government,
the people, still own 20,000,000 porse-
power, priceless possession, since it
will never become exhausted as long
as rain falls and streams flow.
1t is commercially practicable now
to develop enough electricity from
water power to turn every wheel in
the United States now turned by
steam and have good margin left

INTENSE FIGHT TO COME
OVER NATIONS WATER POWER

By Congressman c. H. Tavenner
Washington, Dec. 1-Observers who
think for the future see in the water
power fight in the recent National
Conservation Congress merely the
forerunner of a more intense fight
that will occur in the United States
congress. The contest in the Conser-
walton Congress was severe enough,
but that in the federal congress will
be death grapple. The former was
over the wording of the water-power
report the latter will be for the power
itself.
However one may feel on the ques-
tion of state versus federal control
of water-power, the minority report,
submitted by Clifford Pinchot, Henry
L. Stimson and Joseph N. Teal con-
tanned much food for thought. 1t
emphasized the rapid concentration
in the corporation control of water
power.

MOTHER! is CHILDS
STOMACH SOUR, SICK ?
IL Tongue Is Coated or if Cross, Fe-
verish, COnstipated, Give "CaI-
fornia Syrup OF. Figs"

Don't scold your fretful, peevish
child. See if tongue is coated; this is
sure sign its little stomach, liver
and bowels are clogged with sour
waste.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom-
ach ache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give
a teaspoonful of California Syrup of
Figs" and in few hours all the foul
waste, the sour bile and fermenting
food passes out of the bowels and
you have we'll and playful child
again. Children love this harmless
"fruit laxative" and mothers can rest
easy after giving it, because it never
fails to make their little "insides"
clean and sweet.
Keep it handy, mother! A little
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for 50-cent bottle of "Cali-
fornia Syrup of Figs" which has di-
rections for babies, children of all
ages and for grownups plainly on the
bottle. Remember, there are counter
feits sold, so surely look and see that
yours is made by the California Fig
Syrup Company" Hand back with
contempt any other fig syrup.--Adv.

FINANCING OF YUMA
ROAD BEGUN IN EARNEST

san Dlego Union: WIN tne eA'
pected Endorsement of the Holtville-
Yuma route by the directors of the
Auto Club of Southern California
much preliminary work is being done
toward financing the construction OF
the fifty-four miles which will provide
permanent route from the Imperial
valley to Yuma and which will con-
meet in the valley with the state high
way from San Diego to Ell Centro, fol
which surveys are now being made.
it Is expected that the Auto Clut
Of Southern California, under whose
auspices was held the rousing GOOD
roads convention at Ell Centre week
ago, will shortly issue a call to assist
the club in tu!'ding the road. Yeo-
man help is expected from many
parts of Imperial valley, San Diego
county and from Yuma, as well as
from the Yuma Indian reservation,
near Yuma, which is on record as
being ready to build the six miles OF
the road through the reservation.
1t now appears that the Brawley
delegation, supported by few I'm
perial residents, dissatisfied with the
action of the Ell Centre convention
in indorsing the Holtville route, tc
the exclusion of the one through
Mammoth wash, held a meeting al
Imperial two days later than the FL
Centre convention. At this meeting
resolutions were passed asking the
Auto Club of Southern California t.
call another convention, the evident
purpose being to give further consid-
Grafton to the Mammoth wash route
1t is not believed that any attention
will be given to the resolution for the
reason that the directors of the club
have decided to center efforts On the
building of the Holtville road.
I In line with the movement to pro.
vide for early construction of the
Holtville road is the plan Of many
San Diegans to go to Holtville New
Years Day. On that day Holtville
will entertain it's visitors with g
4 Fiesta" turkey dinner. The program
will include wild west sports. Sar
Diegans believe this will be an op-
perfume time to launch plans provid
ing for the roads construction. Many
donations of money and work coule
be secured at this gathering and the
day could be made one which would
give the route big boost. Already
several San Diegans have announced
their intention of attending the din
ner at Holtville. 1t is probable thai
the Chamber of Commerce will or
ganize an excursion to Holtyille Il

| of frost may spoil an entire season s
crop. The Wood River Company
having this In mind decided to take
measures whereby they could get
ample warning of the approach of
frost and make preparations in time
| to ward off its bad effects on the apple
crop.
Thermometers of the dial type are
placed in each of the four corners of
the valley. On each dial face there is
a platinum contact which can be
moved to any point on the dial, while
| another contact points located on
the Indicator needle. For orchard
use the dial contact point is placed
at about 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the temperature drops to this
point, the two contact points come
together and close local circuit. In
this local circuit there is an inter-
rupter or pole changer arranged to
send an alternating current over wires
which connect with Western Electric
No. 1900 sectional unit type switch
board at the main office of the COM
pany. This alternating current
operates signal on the switchboard
and indicates to the operator that
frost Is near at hand. AS the Their
mometers are placed at the four car
dinal points Of the compass 1t becomes
a simple matter to determine from
what direction the frost is coming.
The switchboard operator having
received the signal, calls each of the
orchard men who would be effected by
the frost. They in turn go through
their orchards and light smudge pots
which have been installed there at the
beginning of the season when frosts
are prevalent. The time that elapses
from the instant that the therm ometer
circuit Ia closed until the last orchard
man is notified is not over five or ten
minutes at the utmost and much of
the fruit crop can be saved In this
way where frost would ordinarily play
havoc with it.
The farmers have found the frost
indicator telephone system to be of
great value to them, not alone from
protective standpoint but from the
standpoint of freedom from worry.
