panies. The majority of these compa- nies are only partially hydro electric; the balance of their power being gener- ated by steam turbines. But generally the nearer they are to complete opera ton by water power, the more success full they are.
 The use of water power reduces the cost of production in ma ay ways. Rel atively a small amount of labor is used and the high cost of fuel for steam generation is overcome In California especially where the supply of fuel oil is approaching exhaustion. which fact, taken together with large increase in dmand has greatly increased the price, elimination of this cost by water power is of the greatest importance The power plants must be placed where the water power is available and hence are usually located in remote regions The difficulties in the transmission oi the electrical energy have heretofore held back this development, but since most of these problems have been solved, the question of distance has been largely eliminated.
 All California public utilities ir which class the hydro electric compa- nies fall, are regulated by the Califor- nia State Railroad commission as re- gards rates. competition, etc. The fol- | lowing extract from an address on the securities of California Gas and Elec- tric companies by Edwin O.

TIJUANA 125 DAY RACE MEET OPENS ON THANKSGIVING

SAN DIEGO. Cal, Nov. 21.-The winter race meeting of the Lower Cali fornia Jockey club that will begin at Tl1uana course, which is just over the Mexican boroer fin Lower California and only some 10 minutes by trolley rom the business heart of this city, OH Thanksgiving will continue 125 days or more. It will be marked by the distribution among horsemen of be- tween $500,000 and s700. .000-the gross sum will depend on the length of time the meeting Is prolonged-and the running of upward of a score of splen- did stakes. It will be supported as regards horses by the foremost sports men of the United States and Canada east and west-and it will attract to San Diego thousands of tourists and winter sojourners who have been in the habit of seeking winter recreation in Florida, Cuba and Louisiana.
 San Diego, now town of close to a quarter of a million. counting the Thousands who constitute the popula- tion of it's beautiful suburbs in with he inhabitants of the metropolitan section. is one of the most attractive wintering places on he continent. Yhe Temperature never varies IS degrees in nfhis singularly equable climate. It is always June in Southern California and Northern Lower California. There is never a day in the year when sea bathing and deep sea fishing are not possible and these are two of the allurements of San Diego in winter. But another consideration that must always be kept in mind is that the cost of living whether for native sons or for casual visitors is lower in this ~a part of the United States than any where else. 1t is still possible to get hntI t.
