Five persons were known drown
ed and two other men missing at
Clear Lake. Automobiles cost five
lives. Two motion picture company
employees were killed in an air.
plane accident. Four persons were
recorded as suicides, including a
national guard major and a Hol-
lister dentist.
LOS ANGELES, July /. tUP) -
Automobile accidents and a drown
ing were responsible for six deaths
over Sunday in Southern Califor-
mia, while more than 20 others
were imperiled by strong currents
at nearby beaches.
Walter Chase, Sc, suffered fatal
injuries when hurled from an au-
tomobile during two-car crash.
George Casio, IS, was injured IA
tally when he walked into an au-
tomobile while crossing a street.
William T. Rasmussen, go, suf-
fered similar death also in Los
Angeles. In both cases the drivers
were eXonerated
Arthur j. Wootan, 46. was killed
at a railroad crossing in Pomona
when his dairy truck was struck by

LOWER RATES
MEAN GREATER
USE OF POWER

On February 7, 1884, the city of
Tupelo, Mississippi, entered into
contract with the IVA fer use
of electric energy directly from
Muscle Shoals. At that time the
average domestic consumption OF
electricity in Tupelo was AZ kwhs
a month but today this average has
mounted to 103 kwhs a month, ac-
cording to bulletin at irrigation
district headquarters.
Using this example, John E.
Rankin. member of Congress from
Mississippi, told fellow members
of the house of representatives In
a recent speech that with lower
rates people will use more elec-
tricity. High rates, he stated, are
not only burdensome to the peo-
pie who pay the bills but they
also discourage the liberal use
of electrical appliances.
In this connection he pointed
out that in Tupelo the amount of
electricity domestically consumed
has mere than doubled, the number
of refrigerators has trebled, the
number OF electric ranges has
increased tenfold while the use
of electric heaters and other elec-
trical appliances has increased by
leaps and bounds.
With the entire distribution of
all power generated from the All
American canal kept entirely in
the hands of the District, ranch
ers here will be able to enjoy the
blessings of lower power rates
which will enable them to use more
electrical appliances in their homes
and for their ranch work. This is
one of the underlying principles
of the power development and dis
tribution program fostered by the
Imperial Irrigation District beard
of directors.

Prospects of heavy freight move

traffic which the new work will
call for and provisions are there
