Farmers Cooperate With Corporation
In Huge PoWer-IrrigatiOn Project

lOR what is believed to be the first
4 time in history a great power
corporation and the farmers
have joined hands in a cooperative
enterprise.
The project was fostered In Oak
dale. Calf. where the Oakdale and
South joaquin irrigation districts
have reached an agreement with the
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. and the
Sierra and San Francisco Power Co
The irrigation districts furnish
the water. while the power compan-
les use 1t to make electricity and pay
the farmers for the cost Of the reser
yoir.
Ends Clashes
Under this first cooperative agree
ment of It's kind, water rights on the
Stanislaus river. over which there
had been clashes for years. are set
tied forever
The power companies are to pay
the irrigation districts S5,175. 900
over a period Of Az years. after which
the reservoir becomes jointly the
property of the companies and dis
tricts In addition the farmers get
IS. 900 acres of storage water already
tmpounded by the power companies,
and free use of all water hereafter
stored
The power companies will get the
electrical owe derived from the
s'ored water and In addition are al
york ON two additional dams To cost

STAR SIGHTS

NNEIE sky affords infinite room
for the imagination to ma.
neuver in, and almost infinite
materials for ii to exercise itself
upon. What men could see IN the
heavens has al ali times been
aloundantly supplemented by what
they imagined they could see
there.
Even astronomers have often al
lowed the imagination to have g.
free rein. and 1t is due TO this
instinct that we have the con.

majority Of star-gazers what a

Through the use OF the tele-

been diminished, while at the
same time the field for the play
OF the imagination has been vastly

the imagination should be kept
