A LESSON FOR SAN DIEGO

Los Angeles made possible her
great growth by providing ade-
quate water and cheap power. The
water was obtained after long
campaign OF education Of the peo-
pie. The cheap power was secured
after a hard fight with the power
trust. Los Angeles owns her own
light and power and has grown and
proSpered.
San Francisco get belated
start on this line. But the nor.h-
ern city finally spent millions on
the Hetch HetchY water project
and her water is now assured. AS
this project neared completion the
Pacific Gas & Electric company
carefully laid plans to obtain for
itself the power developed thereon.
This particular branch OF the pow
err trust planned to buy it cheap,
and sell it back to the people at a
high cost.
The San Francisco Daily News, a
Scripps newspaper, started fight
ing against this theft of the peo-
pies power last week. This week,
this honest newspapers good fignt
was won. San Francisco Super
visors voted to distribute, dire t
to the pepole, their own power,
developed on their own water sys-
tenn.
Thus San Francisco people
through the courage OF lone
newspaper, will benefit millions OF
dollars, and in addition get the two
vital things necessary to growth
such as Los Angeles has expert
enced.
There is lesson in this story
for San Diego. Bear 1t in mind
during the next few months, when
the same forces will attempt ia
prevent San Diego developing and
owning her own water and power

Ranchnien in the south and north
pastures on the Berthold Indian res

Ranchmen who have leases in the
middle pasture expect to ship from
Killdeer Oct. 4. 1t is said there will
be about six train loads shipped
from the reservation pastures aside
from cattle shipped from Sanish by
ranchmen and farmers in the north
