"To say that I feel twenty-five years younger, twenty-five years healthier and twenty-five years stronger expresses what Tanlac has done for me better than any other way l can put it," said George D. Shaw veteran of the Civil war, who now lives at 321 Walnut street, Springfield Mass.
 "1 am now seventy-eight years old and don't hesitate to say that have never known a medicine to equal Tan lac.

water for irrigation, I believe it would
 greatly facilititate the whole develop ment. If the construction of the
 whole flood control and irrigating be undertaken by the United States gov ernment it would correlate the inter-
 ests of the several states directly in- terested, make perhaps easier of solu-
 tion any internationl problems that may arise, and greatly benefit the lands by reason of the flood control and the increase in the minimum flow of water for the irrigation of several million additional acres of land. De- velopment along these lines would be so productive as to tremendously in crease the public wealth of the entire southwest and it would seem that this is an expenditure which might very properly be initially made by the fed eral government.
 "The location of the controlling dam should, however, be high upon the stream in Glenn Canyon above Lees Ferry, in order that the maxi mum power development opportunities shall be conserved and these develop ments made at the minimum of cost. With the dam located at this point, it would be possible to use the water for power purposes over and over again, by a total fall in the river of over 5000 feet through a chain of eight power houses, including Boulder Canyon, the total capacity of which would eventually be 4,350,000 horse no,uer If wo,Ild he assumed that in connection with this plan for govern

President John B. Miller, of the Southern California Edison company left yesterday for the east on his semiannual visit to the financial cen ters to consult with bankers and in vestment companies with view, he stated, to insuring the regular flow of capital from the sale of the company's s securities in connection with the great development projects to which the company is committed.
 While in the east, Mir. Miller ex- poets to have a number of important conferences with government officials at Washington regarding the com- pany's development plans, particular ly, at this time, concerning the Colo rado river and the applications of the company for government permits for the development of more than 3,000,- 900 horsepower on this stream.
 Recent communications from Di- rector Davis of the United States re- clamation service to the Imperial irri- gation district, which have been made public, indicate that Secretary of the Interior Fall sees some hope of an appropriation by congress for the con struction of the huge flood control and irrigation dam on the Colorado river by the United States govern ment," said MT. Miller.
 'If it is possible for the Secretary of the Interior to secure from congress an appropriation sufficient to erect a dam on the Colorado river, which will equate the stream, remove the menace from flood and establish the necessary

 control and irrigation purposes, tho i Federal Power commission or the Sec
 retary of the Interior would be placed in position to license the power devel-
 opment to such agency as is in posi-. tion to undertake such development and provide the market for the con- sumption of power, under government control and supervision with both Fed eral and states regulation.
 "The applications of our company now filed with the Federal Power com mission include the dam construction as well as power development and we are prepared to proceed along these lines, but is it is possible that the dam would be done by the Federal govern ment, then it would be a simple mat ter for us to make such changes in our application as to confine them to power development only, which is our regular business"
 Mir. Miller further added that the Southern California Edison company could have no objection to the sug- gested plan of the construction of the all-important dam and the control and distribution of the water by the Fed eral authorities.
 'In view of the possibilities and obligations assumed by the company to provide an adequate electric power supply to the rapidly growing terri tory in which the company operates" he said, Eve are prepared to devote our executive and engineering organ izations, as well as our financial con nections and established credit to the speedy development of the electric power possibilities of the Colorado river," he said.
 "In this connection, I wish to state that the Southern California Edison company is charged with the respon- sibility and is held strictly accountable by the state authorities and the pub lie generally for the maintenance of an adequate supply of electricity at reasonable rates. With this in mind, the company is prosecuting the devel- opment of water power in the high Sierras and has brought in and placed in service an additional 92,000 horse power within the last twelve months. It has a further program of develop ment within the state amounting to about 100000 horsepower. Its budget for the development of water power in the high Sierras for the year 1922 is 1928, 100000.
 Looking ahead, and wishing to be forehanded in the protection of it's consumers and at the instance of var ious interests tributary to the Colo rado river, this company has taken initial steps pointing to the develop ment of that river and is willing and able to undertake it's whole develop ment. It is not actuated by any self ish motive, as, under the regulation of it's rates, it is not allowed to make a profit in the ordinary sense of the term, but is limited to a return upon it's investment, which will only cover its reasonable expenses of operation and the going cost of money. The sole desire is to do it's full duty as public utility in the service of the people.
 "I make this brief statement be- cause, in some directions for selfish and political reasons, a persistent | effort has been made to misrepresent | and misinform the public as to the | position of this corporation with ref ,rence to the Colorado river"
