not De many years before the manu-
featuring of cotton goods on a large
scale will be carried on in Southern
California and you will have market
for ali of your cotton right at your
cwn doors. To this end it is import
ant, however, that laws should be en-
acted by Congress as well as by the
State of California that will prevent
further monopolization of fuel oil as
well as of water power. Prominent
engineers estimate that hydroelectric
power from falling water can be de-
livered at the city limits of Los An
geles at a cost Of one quarter of
cent per kilowatt. At this cost hy-
droelectric power becomes the cheap
est OF all energies with which to run
machinery for manufacturing cotton
and woollen goods as well as shoes
and many other things which can be
manufactured Just as well in Southern
California as anywhere else on eartn
There are only five natural re-
sources now known to mankind from
which energy can be produced with
which to run machinery, to wit: Tim
her, coal, oil, natural gas and water
Eower. California possesses all of
them. except coal, in great quantities,
and ;here are large quantities of coal
in Alaska still in public ownership and
with the Panama canal open coal can
be landed here from Pennsylvania at
low rates. California produced 90,'
100000 barrels of oil last year and
65 per cent of it was fuel oil ready
for The furnace just as it came from
the wells. 1t can be pumped from
the Kern River and other fields in
central California to Los Angeles
through pipe lines at not TO exceed
cost Of 6 cents per barrel. The pro-
Guctior of oil in California exceeds
that Of any nation in the world and
of every other state in the Union.
Of course large quantities of oil arc
produced south of the Tehachapi and
much of it is in the immediate vi
cinity of Los Angeles. The cheap
ress and proximity of this fuel en-
ergy makes manufacturing on a large
scale in Southern California an abso-
Lutte certainty within short period
after we commence to receive immi-
grafton through the Panama canal
from Europe.
The high cost Of living in the Unit

The fact that our iron ore is prac-

man flew to the Senator's Office, open

country.
AS yet only tentative plans have
been discussed for the proposed edi-
flee, but these have been Endorsed by
the Mormon colony here. which, 1t Is
said, numbers about rs adults, with
about as many more children.
The Mormon colony In this city, 1t
is said, has grown rapidly within the
last few years, the effort having been
aided by the meetings which have
been held from time to time at the
residence of Senator Reed Smoot, 2521
Connecticut avenue Northwest. The
largely increased colony feels that 1t
should have place of worship. With
this object in view, request, 1t Is
said, will probably be made to Walter
Munson, president of the Eastern
States mission of the Mormon church.

to authorize and finance the building
Of the desired church.
Speaking of the proposed new
church, Representative Howell de-
clared the Mormons have churches in
New York, Baltimore and Chicago.
and said he is heartily in favor of
the project to secure one for Wash

After Mr.. Munson acts on the pro-
ject, 1t is stated, the heads of the
