contracts to use NCE power exclu-
sively, while 48 per cent of its large
commercial consumers have signed
up with the power concern with
three year contracts In addition,
the Imperial Ice and Development
company. a subsidiary. uses over
25 per cent of all Imperial Valley
electricity.
In view of this situation said
West, under no circumstances will
the cooperation voluntarily dispose
of its electrical properties or retire
from the power business in Imperial
Valley"
II the power company proposal
is accepted instead of spending 10
per cent Of the PWA grant and loan
of s2760,000 in the construction of
duplicating lines and facilities the
district will eXpend the whole sum
IN the development Of power llants
on the All American canal
In obliGing itself to buy this pow
er the company agrees TO pay the
district mills per killoWatt hour
Tor firm power. or "a times what
power at Boulder dam sells for
For secondary power the electric
concern would pay three times the
r.rice for similar power at Boulder
DAM
Reserve Canal Power
The proposal further provides
that the district will reserve for its
own use power for dredging, de-
sitting. pumping and drainage.
According to West if the distric.
proceeds with its plan to duplicate
NCE lines its net earnings will fall
short by many millions of dollars
Of meeting the costs of the All AM
erlCan canal.
The company insists that if the
district use its S200G.000 PWA loan
and grant for the start of a COM
peting electric system. it must soon
ask for another bond issue of many
millions more to complete it, where
as if it accepts the proposal this
Will be unnecessary.
The company suggests referring its
proposal to an impartial board of
engineers for study and report. In
his letter West suggests that the
United States Bureau of Reclama-
tion, the California District Securi-
ties commission. or the California
Railroad commission appoint an in
dependent engineer or board to make
an impartial report on whether or
not the cooperative proposal is for
the best interests of the valley, and
refer it TO a vote of the people.
The NCE proposes that if at any
time it fails to carry out its agree
ment, the district may purchase all
its Imperial Valley properties at a
price to be set by the California
Railroad commission.
West stated that he would gladly
meet with the district board to dis
cuss the details of his offer.

Mystery of Medal
Remains Unsolved

WASHINGTON, .. c. - Three
wears of search have failed to re-
veal the rightful claimant to a
Medal Of Honor awarded to Mich
ael Owens, a T.. S. marine whose
deed of valor won for him the dec
Grafton more than half century
ago. Since 1884 the marine corps
has sought in vain to find someone
who could establish a legitimate
claim to the award.
For years the medal and certain
papers relative to the hero were
lost in the archives of the navy
department. No one knew just how
the medal got there, since Owens
/ had been discharged by medical
board in 1883 and died two years
/ later. Two or three persons have
claimed the medal, but furnished no
convincing proof Of their kinshlp
with Owens.
! It is known that Owens was born
in New York City in 1887 and joined
the marine corps in 1865, after hay
ing served as soldier during the
Civil War. The meager details of
his citation read While serving
aboard the U. S S. Colorado, cap
ture of Korean forts, June IL, 1871,
fighting hand to hand with enemy
and badly wounded
It is probable that the Medal OF
Honor and another medal, issued
to members of the Grand Army oi
the Republic. which were found ir
the navy archives, were sent there
following Owens death in the be-
lief that some relative might es
tablish a legitimate claim to them
No one yet has done SO.
The action at Korea, however
makes one of the most brillian
chapters in the history of the oil
u. S. Navy. A punitive expedition
was launched against the Korean
after they had treacherously fires
upon American vessels in the Sale
river. Fort after fort was captures
by the bluejackets and marines TN
til the enemy finally capitulated.
In addition TO his hand-to-han
encounter with the Koreans, Owen
must have performed some rar
deed of valor to have been awarde
the most coveted of all military c
naval medals. All that remains
an engraved five pointed medal wit
its faded ribbon, reminiscent Of
hero who apparently died friendle:
and alone.

New Accuracy Makes Canning
Easier

Perfect control over oven opera
ton has made oven canning the &C
cepted modern way to put up foods.
The method is much more convent
emit than the old way and the re-
suits give better taste and better
appearance.
Authorities recommend oven tenn
peratures around ESQ, and the mod
ern recipe books tell how long each
fruit or vegetable should stay In.
After preparing the foods and the
Jars, ii is only necessary to fll the

them directly on the oven racks
regulate the heat according to the
recipes, then just shut the oven
door on all ynr old canning

Oven canning cuts food costs too.
and this economy, together with the
new economy made possible with

the purchase of modern gas range
worthwhile investment which Will
pay steady dividends In food
