Irrigation LauU
Authority Dies

Information received here today
by Harry w. Horton. chief counsel
for the Imperial Irrigation District,
advised of the sudden death in San
Francisco of Attorney Homer Han
kins. considered one of the out
standing authorities on irrigation
law in California.
Attorney Hankins, who was
member of the executive commit
tee of the California Irrigation Dis
tricts' association, was cooperating
with Horton in the suits between
the Southern Sierras Power COM
pany and the Imperial Irrigation
District, and was closely interested
in legal affairs of the latter organ
iZation.
Attorney Hankins' death is a
serious loss to the California bar
and to those attorneys who are en-
gagged in legal work concerning ir-
rigation matterS,' Horton said,
for his counsel and advice were
sought by many who always found
him willing TO assist them. He was
an exceptionally high type of at
torney and a real credit to his pro-
feSSion.' -

MARKET
ASSISTED BY
REP. BURNHAM

Congressman George Burnham,
representing the twentieth Califor.
mia Confessional district, has re-
Gently accomplished another victory
for home producers.
Rulings of the war department
governing the department s pur-
chaSes prohibited the buying of any
product Of foreign origin or man
ufacture if there was a sufficient
supply of the product of a compar-
able quality grown or manufactured
in the United States.
In line with this ruling Congress-
man Burnham on January 10, 1885,
called to the attention of George H.
Dern, secretary Of war, the fact that
the California date industry had
produced during the year about five
million pounds of dates, and that,
with the number Of palms planted
which are not yet in production and
the new paintings being put in, the
increase in date production will be
about a million pounds a year Tor
the next several years.
Burnham having understood that
the war department was purchasing
imported dates for their use, stress
ed the fact to Secretary Darn that
the domestic supply is sufficient to
supply the needs Of the war de-
partm/lt, and requested that he
consider the purchasing Of the Cal
ifornia dates. Burnham is now in
receipt Of the following letter from
Secretary Dern:
- Honorable George Burnham,
House Of Representatives,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr.. Burnham:
Receipt is acknowledged of your
letter dated January 10, 1885, rela-
tive TO the purchase of dried dates.
This matter has been investigated
and it has been found that dried
dates are now produced in the
United States in sufficient quanti-
ty for all requirements.
1.-The instructions to purchasing
officers, permitting the purchase of
foreign produced dried dates, are
being amended, eliminating this
item, so that future purchases Of
this article must be of domestic
production only.
a" Sincerely yours,
"GEO II. DERN,
50 Secretary Of War. y

LEGION
CHIEF TALKS
At CALEX|CO

National and state programs of
the American Legion were discussed
by Archie CloSSon, state command

terday. In addition to CloSSon the
following Legion officials were
present: Tom Sawyer, Arizona de-

trict presided.
Closson spoke at length on the
coming vote in congress on the
bonus bill and said that it looked
as if enough representatives in
Washington were pledged to pass
the bill over the veto and that it
would probably pass in the senate.
Hugh Osborne, county superviS-
or. and Vaughn Thompson, super
ior court judge, addressed the gath
ering on subversive elements in the
country.
Two resolutions were approved by
the meeting. One gave approval to
the Legion S Americanization pro-
gram and the other called upon
congress to vote the bonus bill as
relief measure.
The CaleXico post presented
Commander Sawyer a flagship for
the use of the Arizona navy. This
consisted of a casket in which
mast and sail had been rugged up
and it was further equipped with
an outboard motor. In his speech
OF acceptance Sawyer said that he
wanted to assure his hearers that
California need have no further
fears that their eastern boundary
will not be adequately protected.
He appointed Everett Johnson, Yu-
ma, admiral of the Arizona Navy
and HAIRY Foster, commander of
the San Diego post, a vice admiral,
subject to confirmation by the Ar
izona senate and assembly.

Baby Lightning y
Bolt Measured
BY Scientists
By ALAN McELWAIN
United Press Staff Correspondent

InlLeu fTeSS StdIl SOTTcSpOfiuthi
PASADENA, Jan. % UR)-Volt-
age of baby lightning bolts-a
mere 100000 or so volts compared
with natures flashes of some 200,-
100000 volts-was measured ac-
curately for the first time today at
the California Institute of Tech
nology.
Two young scientists, Jesse E.
Hobson and Simon Ramo, accom-
plished the feat after months of
research. 1t is expected to bel of
great value in helping to ward off
destructive lightning bolts from
the expensive equipment of power
lines and the men who work on
them.
Scientists heretofore measured
accurately only to 100000 volts.
Million-volt currents such as go
crashing across the Caltech high
tension laboratory melt the largest
volt meters.
The two Caltech men made a
mammoth spark gap Of two 300
pound aluminium balls and put
them on a ,000,000-volt circuit.
The powerful current in striving to
jump across the gap, drew the
balls together.
Next they rigged up pulley and
weight on one ball and increased
the weight enough to pull the ball
back to normal. Then they got
out slide rules and calculated the
weight per volt that would counter
act the electricitys drawing pow
er on the ball. This gave them a
basic figure by which they may
find the voltage of currents of any
power.
