OUTLINES
PROJECT
Three Sites on Canals
Will Generate Enough
Energy for Cities.
COST is REASONABLE
Directors Give Authority
For DOwd to Proceed
With Preliminary Work

Electrification of Imperial Valley
cities by power developed on the
Imperial Irrigation district canal
system is more than a possibility
following action of the district
board of directors yesterday after
noon when authorization was given
Chief Engineer n. j. Dowd to work
out detail specifications and plans
for the necessary power plants, dis
tribution lines and appurtenant
works together with detailed esti-
mates of costs.
The preliminary plan and recon-
mendatiOn of Dowd as read to the
board yesterday called for three
power plants at Rositas dam, Alamo
dam, and, Number Eight headiags
The total available power at these
three sites, according to the report,
is $3.50 horsepower. A standby
plant, either of the Diesel or steam
type is recommended to make full
use of all water power produced.
Transmission and distribution lines
are included in the program which
is roughly estimated to cost 81, ,600,-
600 complete.
The cities of Calipatria, Brawley.
Imperial, Ell Centre, Holtville and
Calexico will be served Immediately
upon completion of the power sys-
TEN, which would be about Is
months after bonds have been sold
Dowd stated he could have his
detailed plans ready for cOnsidera
tion within three months and is to
start at once on the estimates. The
report follows
March lst, 1927
To the Board of Directors,
Imperial Irrigation District,
Ell Centre, California.
Gentlemen:
In accordance with your letter Of
October 18th, 1926, investigation
has been made of the possibility of
hydro electric power development
ON our canal system and tn efeasi-
bility of the district developing and
distributing such power in Imperial
Valley. The results of this inves.
tigation are being submitted for
your consideration.
At present there is only one source
of electrical power available in the
valley, that of the Southern Sierras
Power company which power is
brought from the east side of the
Sierra Nevada mountains in Inyo
county, over one of the longest
transmission lines in the world. As
a consequence the rates charged for
electricity are very high and con
siderably above those which pre-
vail in other localities in Califor
mia, with no possibility, as far rs
can be learned, of reduction in
the future. In fact, a hearing for
Il re-valuation of the Southern Sier-
ras Power company is now pending
before the state railroad commits
sion, the only possible object being
a further increase in rates through
an increase in valuation.
In view of these facts, and also

TESTING YOUR TEMPERAMENT.

You have a temperament. Ev- erybody has. Old-fashionea folk would call it your dispos- ition. But science is following a more modern style. So you might as we'll get in line and acknowledge that you, too, are carrying a temperament concealed somewhere about your person.
 Very we'll, then, how about getting acquainted with your temperament? It is the child of your moods and the grand child of your emotions. Want to test it out? If you can stand living with yourself, do this living with yourself, do this cor a month:
 When you get up every morn ing, scowl at yourself in the mirror. At the end of the month, say psychologists, your facial map will resemble a sector of no mans land in rainy weather.
 Then start smiling at what you see in the mirror on the thirty-first day. You will perk ID wonderfully. Friends will marvel at the change that's come over you. And your di- yestion will be better.
 But don't keep up the morn ing smile too consistently. It may degenerate into simper. Having let your temperament go to both extremes, take con- srol and regulate it. Let the balance hang just a trifle on
 he side of 8 smile, and you will be joyous without becom- ng chronically sanguine.

LOYALTY IN SERVICE.

The character of the individ- 1al may be very largely gaug. d by the measure of loyalty le exercises towards the per on or institution that provides jim with employment. A real ngrate is the person who is lisloyal to the one whom he yves the obligation of service. The test which may be ap- lied to the individual is -qually good when applied to
 group of persons, organized D act as a unit. An act of un. airness is no less culpable be- ause it is committed by a roup rather than by an indi- idual.
 There are persons who feel ader certain obligations to be val to an individual who is leir employer, though they ave no such feeling when leir employer is a corporat-
 n. It is the same idea that ules the man who believes he honest but would ride free n a public conveyance if he ould.
 Many manufacturers and oth- : employers complain thal hey are paying the highest ages in the history of then usiness, but they say tla. roduction has not increased nd that he quality of the ,ork, if anything has deteri- rated.
 It is plain that there is need a return to the principle of an honest days work for an onest days pay" Any per n who takes wages without effort to give adequate re- urn should not profess to con- sider himself in the class ol honest men.

BACK UP NEWSPAPERS.

Frequently we are so closely associated with institutions or q commodity that we do not appreciate their worth. This applies in general to newspap- CTS. Every city, town and ham let has its newspapers. Ever. sometimes 8 few houses and b store and garage at a "wide place in the road" constitute excuse enough for the starting of newspaper and not infre- quently that wide place in the road becomes a real town and when it does one may rest as sured that that newspaper that seemed to have no excuse foa beginning life had a very i'm portant part to play in tn. communitiy's unexpected de velopment.
 So it is all along the line 0 progress. No city ever get very far without the sincer cooperation of newspaper Net no institution in a city ev er gets less thanks or receive, more abuse. Probably no othe one thing is a better index to & town than it's weekly publi cations. Very often that i, about all the stranger has t, go by in making up his min about a community. If the newspaper that falls into his hands is bright-looking sheet full of news and has a prosper ous air, the stranger is certain to judge that it was published in a live progressive town.
 Those who read their weekly newspapers and carelessly throw them aside, overlook the fact that they are not do ing all for their town that they can. If those newspapers in stead of being destroyed were placed in wrappers and mailed from time to time to friends and relatives at a distance the good that could be accom- plished would soon be reflect ed in the towns growth.
