"CALL OF THE WOODS"

Last night at the green tent
Murphy's Comedians presented for
the first time in Ell Centro "The Call
of the Woods" comedy melodrama in
four acts. A we'll filled house greeted
the opening of the production which
will continue for the first half of this
week.
"The Call of the Woods" sparkles
with bits of good comedy. 1t holds
the audience until the final word is
spoken. The beautiful scenic effects
adds materially to the play and the
acting is above par.
The action takes place in the Can
adian northwest and shows the lives
Of the people who make their home
and livlihood in the great woods Of
this section.
Jack Latham as "Flapjack" Les
cant, a French trapper gave a fine
character protrayal and Martha Gibbs
as his uneducated daughter versed in
the ways of the wild, but ignorant of
life's tragedies, won the hearts and
sympthies of the audience.
Joe Hagerty, supported by Ruby
Kisman carried the love tn m e
throughout the play. Their work was
excellent.

ADJUSTMENTS
OLIVE THOMAS IN "THE
FLAPPER" AGAIN WILL
PLAY "BABY VAMP" PART

Olive Thomas in another of the
"baby vamp" roles that made her
famous is promised in "The Flapper,"
a delightful Selznick comedy, which
is to be shown at the Topic theatre
tonight.
"The Flapper" is just another "Sev-
enteen." And you remember that
that Seventeen" was Booth Tark-
ington story that painted the first
faithful picture of a boy suffering
his first romance. "The Flapper"
had been raised in a very strict at
mosphere and she longed for the
jazzy climate of the wild and wicked
world.
So she is sent to boarding school.
Her pose as a woman Of the world
went over big with her schoolmates.
Her ambitions to be wild led her in
to a flock of scrapes, which reached
a climax in robbery mystery and
& thrilling expose.
Olive Thomas has never had role
that fitted her so nearly perfectly
The direction at the hands of Alan
, C.osland has made of the Frances
Marion story most entertaining
photoplay.

REP PORTER TO
CLEAN Up CHI
(BY United Pressl

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-William Hale
Thompson, mayor of Chicago, called
Charles FitZmorris, former newspaper
reporter, in his office and gave him
the job of chief Of police and this as
signment:
"Clean Chicago up. Put every gun
man, criminal and bootlegger in Jail"
This happened only recently, but
today Chicago is cleaner than any
time in years.
Fitzmorris, only 35, is the young
est metropolitan police chief in the
country and it is generally admitted
he is putting his new job over with a
bang.
First of all he called his police
force in and said: "You are now
starting on clean slate. Charges
of ineffciency have been N d e
against many Of you. I'll forget all
that now. Every man must make
good or get out of the department.
Chicago must be Clean"
Next, Fitzmorris served notice on
gamblers, bootleggers and criminals
that Chicago no longer was their
stamping ground. The demimonde
did not heed him. So Fitzmorris
started raids of gambling dives and
vice dens. All those found in the
places were taken to police head
quarters.
The whole city was invited to
come to Jail the next day to look over
the crowd to see if any could be
identified with any recent crimes
Bertillion records were made of every
man taken.
Since then, raids have netted hund-
reds and the criminal class is about
to "play quits" realizing the new
chief means business.
On Fitzmorris' first day as police
chief he "scooped" the whole police
department by going out and arrest
ing bandit who had robbed bank.
The bandit had been sought by police
for several weeks.
No amount of influence will get
any Chicagoan out of a "jam" now,
the new chief claims.

EDISON PLANS
COME TO LIGHT

The following detailed account of
the Southern California Edison Com
pany plans was published in yester-
days Times. The company has ap-
piled for permit to develop $780,
900 horsepower along the Colorado
river and local people have been anx-
ious lest it interfere with Imperial
Valleys plans.
The story:
Generation of peak load of 1885,
900 horsepower, and an average an
nual load of 100000 horsepower
from four immense hydro electric pro-
jects along the Colorado river will be
possible if the stream flow is con-
trolled, by the 500-foot dam which
the Southern California Edison Com
pany plans to construct at the head
of Marble Canyon, according to a de-
tailed preliminary report made by
Francis L. Sellew, consulting engi-
neer.
The first of these projects would
be the Marble Canyon plant, situated
at the main dam, where lake 200
miles long would be backed up the
! almost level basin of the Colorado to
the mouth of the Fremont River
From this point the river descends in
400 miles from $500 feet above sea
! level, a fall of $500 feet. To this
$500 feet must be added the 500 feet
of the dam itselffi giving gross
ment.
Fifty-Mile Canal
At the Marble Canyon dam, ac-
cording to plans. a uniform flow of
5000 second feet would pass through
turbines and thence through a power
canal for so miles to the mouth of
the Little Colorado This would give
a net head of 800 feet and would
generate 1,240,000 horsepower.
From the Little Colorado to Kanab
Creek, net head of 700 feet could
be secured in 85 miles, which would
generate 100000 horsepower. IS * * 81
In the 145-mile stretch between
Kanab Creek and the Arizona bound
airy line, at Diamond, a net head of
800 feet could be secured by the use
of two high dams. The river would
then deliver to switchboards about
,240,000 additional horsepower.
The fourth power development will
cover the 12O mile stretch between
the Arizona boundary and Cottonwood
Valley. This will afford a 500-foot
head, and deliver 100000 horsepower.
Within a radius of 500 miles of
the different stations, the company
could electrify $4,000 miles Of rail
road which could use 100000 horse
power, saving 75,000,000 barrels of
fuel oil annually and still have 1,100,-
900 horsepower from the estimated
average annual load for use for light
ing pumping, heating, industrial and
municipal and general sale.
Will Stop Floods
The huge Marble Canyon dam will
have capacity of 40,000,000 acre
feet of water, but the annual flow of
the river varies from 100000
acre foot minimum to 30,000,000
acre foot maximum, and all of it can
be controlled, and still leave an enor-
nous capacity above the dam to store
sediment for long period of time
before it will cause any trouble. The
lake will average about 400 feet in
depth along the Colorado for 200
miles, and up the San Juan River
Canyon for nearly so miles.
Even if bedrock cannot be found at
