electric development of the Pennsl-
yania Water & Power Company. This
latter plant has been in successful op-
Grafton since 1910 supplying power to
public utility systems in Baltimore,
Md, York, Lancaster and Gainesville,
Pa. The new development which was
built on the experience gained in the
utilization of the Susquehanna at
HOLLYWOOD and which was designed and
is being operated by the same men
who placed the HOLLYWOOD plant in op-
GRAFTON, has been in service since ear
ly in December 1881.
Four generators of 42,5OO horse
power each driven by the largest
Kaplan turbines ever built in America
give a present installed capacity at
Safe Harbor of 10000 horsepower.
Foundations are ready for two addi-
tional turbines which will bring the
initial capacity at Safe Harbor to
255,OO0 horsepower. The waters i'm
pounded in the lake of 10 square miles
behind the mile long dam will ulti-
mately drive IL turbines at Safe Har.
Dor with total capacity of $4,000
horsepower.
Safe Harbor, connected through tie
lines with the HOLLYWOOD development
which has combined hydro and
steam capacity of 100000 horsepower,
is part of the coordinated hydro and
steam power system of which the
steam plants of the Consolidated Gas
Electric Light and Power Company Of
Baltimore eff $4,000 horsepower
capacity constitute the principal
steam reserve. The system is also in
tercOnnected with the high tension
lines of the Metropolitan Edison Com
pany and of other power companies in
Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has con.
tracted for power from this coordinat-
ed hydro and steam system for the
identification requirements of its lines
from the Susquehanna Crossing at
Havre de Grace, Md, to Washington
and environs.
Through the arrangements SUCCESS
fully negotiated by the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company provision is made
for an infarchapra of ,oo,,,a,. ba4,,oa,,
the $4,000 horsepower plants in
Washington, of which the latest addi-
ton is now under construction, the
steam plants in Baltimore and the de-
velopments at Safe Harbor ard Holt
wood.
The Safe Harbor development is
owned by the Safe Harbor Water
Power Corporation which was built
and financed through the cooperation
of the Consolidated Gas Electric Light
and Power Company of Baltimore and
the Pennsylvania Water & Power
Company, these three companies be.
ing known as Aldred interests.
The Susquehanna River drains the
largest watershed of any of the rivers
flowing into the North Atlantic ex-
cept the st. Lawrence. 1t forms the
headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay
into which the Potomac flows ITO
miles nearer this estuary's confluence
with the Atlantic Ocean. The new
transmission line will thus supply
energy from the Susquehanna to the
Nations Capital on the Potomac.

BEDTIME STORIES

Bear. The Bear always crawled
down in the hollow. not up, when
he went to sleep in his winter
home.
But Bub crawled up as far as he
could go. and when he could go no
farther, he was stuck tight and held
fast.
"Oh OIL" cried the rainbow boy
I'm caught in the secret treel l
wish I hadn't crawled in! Oh, Unkie
Wig! Unkie Wigi I'VE found Sec
ret but 1 don't like it, Please come
and get me out!'
Uncle Wiggily had good sleep
on the SNOWFALL cotton and after
while he awakened and opened his
eyes. AS soon as he had done so
he heard a voice calling:
"Unkie Wig! Please come and get
me out!"
''Why, that must be little Bub,'
said the rabbit gentleman, jump
ing up. It told him to give shout
when he found his secret and that's
what he is doing. I'm coming, Little
Bub! I'm coming!" said the rab-
bit gentleman. Don't be afraid
So Little Bub wasn't afraid, but
as he looked out of crack in the
hollow tree he saw the big Bear
shuffling along. The Bear had been
getting some berries to eat, and
having ali he wanted, he thought
he would go home and take nap.
For he did not need to curl in his
tree den and begin his Winter sleep
just yet.
AS the Bar neared the tree, he
shifted and snuffed, for he smelled
boy smell just as Little Bub had
smelled the wild animal odor. And
the Bear didn't know how a boy
smell could some from his tree
until he saw Uncle Wiggily come
hopping along.
"Oh, Mr.. Bear!" said the rabbit.
Little Bub is stuck in your hollow
tree. VIII you please help him to
| get out?"
Eyes" said the Bear, kindly. Il
will But why did Bub go in my
hollow tree? Tell me that?"
"I was looking for a secret" an
swered Bub. Then the Bear laugh
ed and with his claws he carefully
! scratched the hole bigger SO Bub
I could crawl out and then the rabbit
and rainbow boy went home after
thanking the Bear.
So if the toy pistol will give one
of its caps to the head of cabbage
when it jumps over the barrel OF
sauerkraut, I'll tell you about I'm

ORANIZEi FOR
RELIEF WORK
ON EASTSIDE

Negro citizens met Monday at
the East Side high school and form
ed the East Side Relief committee.
Representative from churches, fra
ternal societies, civic clubs and the
schools were present and after con-
sidering the problems already exis-
ting and the probable increased
need and suffering the community
faces, a permanent organization
was perfected. The committee Is
composed of Is persons, IL of
whom were named last week and
have accepted membership. They
are DR.. J. L. CASTOR, pastor of Sec
ond Baptist church; Prof Arthur
Prince, principal of the grade
schools; Prof. W. A. Payne, princi-
pal of the high school and junior
college; Roland j. Burleigh, exalt-
ed ruler of the Elks; H. j. Bur-
leigh, chancellor commander of the
Pythians; Rev. Hayes Hayter, pas
tor A. M. e. church; Rev. c. H.
Houston, pastor C. M Z. church;
Elder Rogers, pastor of the Church
of God; Martha Chism, Daughter
Elks; Francis Burleigh, Court CAL
anthe; Beatrice Wesson, Civic I'M
provement club; Annie Johnson,
Progressive Women's club.
The committee will serve as a
clearing house for all relief activi-
ties, supervise and operate agencies
inaugurate policies and gear the
relief work on the east side into
the program of the general relief
committee of the city. Three for
eign speaking persons will be added
to the group next Monday to assure
sympathetic cooperation.
According to DR.. CASTOR, the
chairman, the committee expects to
have representation on the general
relief committee.
"We feel that our presence on the
general committee will be of great
benefit in shaping the general pol
icy to be pursued and of especial
help in matters particularly affect
ing the east side We have three
projects started now. milk distrib-
ution, clothing center and COM
munity garden. This week, hot lun-
ches were provided for school child
rem and we wish to cooperate with
existing agencies to the end that
we shall be able to eliminate as
far as possible, duplicated effort
and waste. Three departments are
authorized now-milk, food and
clothing, with fourth to be form
ed to care for Christmas cheer. We
shall provide trained investigators
as far as we are able, and assure
the general public that all relief on
the east side shall seek to follow the
latest approved social methods"

FREEING THE GUILTY

GOVERNOR ROLPH'S determination
u to release those serving sentences in
penal institutions following conviction
under the Wright act, is meeting with
considerable discussion throughout the
state.
From the viewpoint of the layman
the action is hard to understand. We
were not aware that when the people
voted against the Wright act last week
that they had any idea of making it re-
troactive. They did not declare the
Wright act had been unconstitutional.
That of course, is up to the courts. At
the time convictions were obtained un-
der the Wright act they were for crimes
committed, and nothing has been done
since then to decide that there were no
crimes.
1t may be good fellowship" to free
such as were convicted but it is a heavy
blow nevertheless at the courts and the
laws.
His excelency might better use his
time and efforts in doing some house
cleaning at Sacramento. The recent
geyser in the public works department
has subsided somewhat but it is not al
together forgotten. And for the pres
ent we have charges yet to be proved, of
dishonesty in the state insurance COM
mission
We have before US the report of the
state controller, showing the cost of Cal
ifornia state government for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1882, was S131 ,539,-
27l.16 an increase of So, ,634, ,069.26 over
the previous year.
1t perhaps is impossible to avoid an
increase, for California is constantly
growing, but this is the time when We
should be getting the most efficient and
economical government possible. The
administration, from the governor down,
should be on its toes cutting out every
unnecessary expense and seeing that
each state department is functioning at
maximum efficiency and minimum cost.
OF course we can appreciate that re-
leasing Wright act offenders may be
step toward economy as public institu-
tions will not have to support them, but
we doubt that it is the type of economy
that good citizens desire.

II don't believe I can find ad-
ventures as easily as Unkie Wig
does. He has been finding them a
long, long time Even to himself,
Little Bub spoke of the rabbit gen.
tleman as 'Unkie Wig, trick
Bub had learned from Baby Bunty
the orphan rabbit.
But I'm going to keep on look
ing" said the rainbow boy. 1T will
be great fun if I can find an ad-
venture all by myself"
On and on he went, over the fields
and through the woods, up hill and
down hill. The sun was still shin
ing, the wind was still blowing, the
white clouds were playing tag in
the blue sky and Uncle Wiggily
was asleep on the roll of SNOWFALL
cotton, his pink nose gently going
twinkle, inkle, ink.
After a while, Little Bub saw a
large hollow tree, 1t was not quite
as large as Uncle Wiggily's stump
bungalow, nor did it have a CHM
ney. Yet it looked like a place
where an adventure might hide and
when Bub saw it he gave little
Jolly shout of Joy and said
"I'm going to look in there"
Though sLittle Bub, the rainbow
boy, didn't know it, this hollow
tree was the home of a wild ami
mal-a big Bear. Little Bub look
ed inside the hollow, which was
partly stuffed with dried leaves, for
winter was coming soon, and the
Bear wanted the leaves for bed
clothes-sheets, pillow cases, blan-
kets, quilts, comfortables and every
thing.
At first Bub was rather surprised
when he locked inside the hollow
/ tree, which had a hole at one side
like an open door. The rainbow boy
saw nothing except leaves. But
there was a queer, wild animal
odor, or smell, in the tree, the same
kind of a smell Bub had noticed
when, once, he went TO the circus
with his father.
1T smells sort of like a secret,
/ whispered Bub. Maybe it's higher
up in the tree where I can't see
1t. I'll crawl inside and look.'
So Little Bub, the rainbow boy
crawled inside the hollow tree. Az
first he had no trouble for the tree
was large. But after the boy began
wiiggling his way up 1t was a tight
fit as if he had on the wrong pair
of shoes. The upper part of the
tree was even too small for the

ed to become part of the Shen-
andoah National park, which now
surrounds it on all sides.
The camp commands a magni-
ficent view of the Blue Ridge noun

gives it summer temperature far
more comfortable than that OF
Washington, go miles away.
Accommodation for 25 to 80 guests
are provided in a cluster of rustic
buildings on the mountainside.
The town half is the central
building. Host, hostess and guests
gather there to chat before the
large open fireplaces, read or play
games. There is a dining hall for
rainy or cold days, but when the
weather is good steaks are broiled
over open air stoves and everyone
eats outside.
The cottage where President and
Mrs. Hoover stay is called Hoover
House. Another is known as the
prime Minister'S House because
that is where Prime Minister Mac
Donald of Great Britain and his
daughter Ishbell stayed when they
were guests at the camp early In
the Hoover administration.
The presidential election is set
tied to all practical purposes, but
it won't be official until stacks OF
important looking documents bear
| ing large gold seals are filed away
in the state department archives
| and the vote is canvassed by con-
| gress.
Following an election, governors
of the stats send the state de-
partment certificates showing who
! has been chosen to represent their
states in the electoral college. When
congress meets, the secretary OF
state transmits copies of the GER
tificates to both houses.
The electors in each state then
make out their votes for president
and president. Six copies are
signed. One goes to the senate, two
to the secretary of state, two to the
u. S. secretary of state, and one to
the judge of the district in which
the electors meet.
! The senate and house meet In
joint session on the second We'd
nesday in February to receive the
vote. The president of the senate
opens the votes and tellers from
both houses count them.
| The tellers then certify the vote
to the president of the senate who
then officially proclaims the names
of the new President and Vice-Pre.
| sident of the United States.

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
POISONER AT WORK


COMPLAINTS have been made to The
y Press by residents in the south end
of the city, regarding the acts of some
contemplate person or persons, who is
setting out poison for dogs and cats.
A number of beloved pets have been
victims of this reprehensible form of
human revenge and several others are
now under the care of a veterinary.
Whatever grievance-real or fancied
"a person may have nothing can just
ify the use of poison. If cats or dogs
prove nuisances. and they most assured
ly can to others than their owners, there
are proper steps which may be taken to
obtain relief.
No matter what annoyance a dumb
animal might cause, it deserves a bet
ter fate than going through the agon-
les of death by poison, and it must in
deed be heartless and cold-blooded
human who would wantonly condemn it
to such fate.
Detection of those who put out poison
is difficult for the very nature of their
offense forces them to work in the dark
and under cover. But if apprehended,
they should be dealt with in most Sc
we're manner.
Perhaps if no appeal to them on be-
half of dumb animals is effective, they
may be prompted to think just how
dangerous is their course of action by
reminding them that there are young
sters playing all around who might
easily become victims of the poison.
Children have a universal habit of
putting things in their mouths and it is
singularly fortunate that none of them
has become victim og the south end
poisoner. Perhaps this angle of the af-
fair may show the poisoner the danger
Gus course that is being pursued.
1t is only fair to remind owners OF
pets that there is responsibility rest
ing upon them to see that their animals
do not annoy neighbors. We recently
witnessed the havoc a dog had worked
in private home and while we insist
such an occurrence does not justify the
use of poison, it does emphasize the
need of animal owners seeing to it that
their pets do not damage their neigh
boris property.
We hope the poisoner will stop his
work, but if he persists, it will Justify
the use of strenuous means to appre-
hend him.
