PRIZE DOGS IN THE FIELD
The third annual field trials of
the Philadelphia Kennel Club were
held in Frederica last week. About
twenty sportsmen and forty dogs
were present. The dogs were tried
two at a time and prizes awarded
by the judges. Reports of the
trials were telegraphed to the New
York and Philadelphia dailies, but
are of interest only to owners of
dogs with pedigrees and records, so
we do not reproduce them. Few
birds were found, and the hunters
left after three days trial.

while some people have felt that
the installation of the BraWley
plant would only give relief to
power consumers in the vicinity Of
Brawley, this action shows that all
the electrical consumers in both
Imperial and Coachella Valleys will
realize the same savings and benefit
by the installation of the BraWley
plant just the same as the people
living in BraWley."
In round figures I expect this
to mean a savings in dollars and
cents Of between S150000 and Sl75,-
900 per year to the electrical con-
sumers in the two valleys; in other
words. in two wears the people will
save an amount of money equal to
the entire cost of the BraWley plant
and before power possibly is avail

Bear in mind that the rates OF
the district are based on cost Of

power revenue, and will not cost
