BELL CAST IN
 KODIAK FOUND
 IN CALIFORNIA;

In the summer of 1923 a chur- oh bell was discovered in Califor- nia by Mrs. Alice Hartman, that had been cast in Alaska. This bell weighed about 100 pounds and hung at an old chapel on the old Camulos Rancho in Ventura County, California. The Camu- los Rancho is one of the oldest Spanish ranches in California and readers of Ramona" will re- member that here Helen Hunt Jackson commenced to weave her famous story. Still on the altar is the cloth that was mended by Ramona.
 In the old days of the Spanish padres it was customary where large ranches laid a long ways from the parent mission that a chapel be placed on the rancho and at regular intervals the cha pei be visited by thepriests. This ranch having remained for ages in the Del Valle family, the old chapel remained as it had been for ages. Here still worshipped the family and the employees of this old settlement. Still faithful to their old faith, large crosses have been placed on the hills surrounding the rancho and these are rigidly kept in repair by the faithful.
 The old bell is badly cracked, yet has a very sweet sound, and well accords with its ancient and beautiful environment. Around the outside of the rim of the bell

Shrine Mornlons Attracts 35,OOO
 Nations Visitors
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Fress) ~.
 PALMYRA, N. Y, August IT, The attraction of the Hill of Gu morah as the shrine of Mormon- ism is evidenced by the report of Elder Reed Brinton of this vill- age that 35,0OO persons have wis., tied the Mormon monument since it's erection here a year ago last July.
 Visitors come. from practically every state to visit the Hill of Cumorah where Mormon faith says that Joseph Smith, directed by the angel Moroni, dug out set of golden plates on which were inscribed in mystic charac- tars the tenets of the Mormon re- lig;on.
 Last year MormonS assembled from all over the country to wit ness the dedication atop the hill of a 30-foot granite shaft sur- mounted by nine-foot statute of the angel.
 Since the erection of the monu ment MormoniSm has increased 10 per cent in the Palmyra branch, Elder Brinton reports. A new branch has been formed in Ca- mandiagua and the distribution of 400 books of Mormon point to steady though slow rise of the religion.

On the constitutionality of the
act of 1919, the court says:
in the absence of a plain abuse
o. discretion, when confronted by
the contrary implied finding o.
the legislature that the sale and
distribution of power are in the
interest of irrigation districts, this
court will not disturb such IMPLIED
finding by declaring the act un-
constitutional.
I'm this circuit there is whole
some disinclination of federal
courts to declare state statutes
unconstitutional, except for COM
pelling reasons.
There is a presumption,
well established in law, in favor
OF constitutionaliCy.''
Justice Garrec.t reviewed the
power company's complaint, anG
declared There are 81 assign
ments of error, covering 16 printed
pages
I'VE believe hat this number
o. assignments and specifications
is excessive, particularly in view
of the fact that there was no teS-
timony taken in open court ano
therefore no asserted errors
could be included"
There is oirect and cauStic crit
icism of power company attorneys
in this language Of the opinion
The supreme court and this
court haVe repeatedly disapproved
the practice OF filing large
number of assignments.
Although the power company
asks an early decision, the circuit
court justice says, "Yet the un-
er company's own assignments has
added to the burden of this court
and delayed our determination OF
the appeal"
Answering power company OBJ
jections to the contract under
which the district bought engines
for the Brawley plant, the cour;
says the mere possibility that the
directors may in future attempt
to raise money for the contract III
question by means Of special as
SessmenS, is too remote to war
rant issuance of an injunction.
In a word" the opinion says,
"the power companys suit in this
respect is premature.
There are other ways in Whicn
the district can raise money, in
cluding tolls and charges for the
sale of electricity"
The power company gives its
case away, declares the federal
jurist, referring to argument by
Southern Sierras attorneys that
the act of 1919 "prescribes ..
that some steps be taken by the
district itself before the provi-
Sicns o. the act become operative
and that the language OF the act
is "permissive only"

Excitement is one thing that
followed John Joseph Cavanaugh
all his life.
Coming to this country from Ire
land in 1889, he enlisted in the
Army. During the Spanish-Amer.
lean War he saw service with the
Rough Riders and stormed San
Juan Hill with Col. Theodore
Roosevelt.
After leaving the Army he joined
the Metropolitan Police Depart
ment, and for 81 years saw more
active service and excitement.
He was especially commended
by the Commissioners for the ar
rest of two notorious highwaymen
who came into the city with the
circus.
And it was Cavanaugh who cap
tured the two thugs who attempted
to shoot up the old Port Arthur
Restaurant. disarming them after
a terrific struggle.
Cavanaugh also captured Louis

in a fight with a United States
