Scottish Lakes to Be
Utilized for Power

LONDON, juno 20-Scotland is
waking up to the fact that its lakes
and waterfalls may be made to serve
other purposes than providing scenic
attractions for tourists. AS proof
OF this the "Grampian Electricity bill"
has been given a second reading in
the House of Commons.
The company is empowered to col
lcct ard use the waters of Is lochs
and 80 small lakes, rivers and
streams, over an area OF AIT square
miles.
The waters proposed to be utilized
are estimated to be capable of gen.
electricity in the counties of Perth,
Knross and Forfar and districts in
four other counties. The capital is
laced at 100000 pounds.
That any of the beautiful lakes and
falls of caledonia, stern and wild"
shculd be used to set the wheels of
industry spinning many in Scotland
regard almost as sacriligious desecra.
ton And that opinion is shared by
not a few Americans who are accus
tomed to visit Scotland annually.
But the promoters declare that the
preservation of the natural beauties
ef Scotland is expressly provided for
by the terms of the bill. And they
add that when the hum of the cleo
trically driven wheels of industry are
heard in the land, and dividends be-
gin to come in, the cry of ''desecra-
ton will be silcnced.

BICELOW, WALKER
TALK TONIGHT TO
BRAWLEY CHAMBER
Commercial Club, Brawley,
to Hear Talks on Big
Marketing Plans

Fred n. Bigelow, of the state market
inc bureau, DR.. r. M. Walker, former
president of the State Farm Bureau,
and several other prominent speakers
are expected to address the Brawley
Commercial Club tonight on the orderly
marketing of Imperial Valley products
following the club banquet.
The Brawley Commercial Club is
actively behind this movement and is
lending its entire support to it. Mr..
Birclow has spent considerable time III
the valley assisting the Imperial Valley
Vegetable and Melon Growers Associa-
ton in increasing its membership and
MANY observers are inclined to bellcVe
that if the association could secure 80
per cent of the independent growers,
that a suitable control of the market
could be established and many of the
mistakes of the past season eliminated
Dir. Walker was in the valley last
spring and through the Valley Farm
Bureau, established a Farm Bureau
Grain Exchange, which has been Il
great boon to grain growers and has
proved its usefulness by saving more
than $4,000 to valley grain growers
the first season.
1t is believed tonight S meeting will
give considerable strength to the neces
sity of proper marketing of Imperial
Valley products and it is hoped that
this may be accomplished in time tc
function during the coming lettuce
season..
