IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of June 8, 1872. The closing examination of the public schools of this city on Thursday and Friday last was a grand success, and a most gratifying evidence of the completeness and efficiency of the school departments.

Reilly, of Los Angeles, accompanied by the Rev. J. Mut, of Capistrano, passed through Anaheim on their way to Capistrano on Thursday yesterday afternoon, when one of the pleasantest meetings so far held by the club was enjoyed by the members.

He is said to have been worth ten millions. Much that passes for independence is mere impudence.

CALIFORNIA LEADS IN USE OF ELECTRICITY Kilowatt Hours Per Capita in State is 1085, in U.S. 372. President A. B. West, of the Pacific Coast Electrical association, opened the sixth annual convention of the organization at the Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles recently in an address to the members. Figures were cited from the United States census and other official reports showing that electric power has a per capita consumption of 1035 kilowatt hours in California, against 372 for the United States, and that rates are lower here than elsewhere. "The super-power program of the Atlantic states has already been realized here," said Mr. West, "in an interconnected system extending from Eugene, Oregon, to the Mexican border, thus forming in this territory the largest concentrated block of electric power ever made available for public use. In 1920, eighty-three per cent of the houses of the state were wired as against thirty-five per cent for the United States, and electrical power is used to irrigate over 1,470,000 acres—a total of over-onethird of California's irrigated lands." "So consistently has California led the world in electrical development," said Mr. West in conclusion, "that the engineers and experts of the world come here to study these great accomplishments." The convention brings together 500 delegates from Arizona, Nevada, and California, representatives of every phase of the industry. At the industrial conference and banquet Friday, there were addresses by Howard F. Beebe, president of the Investment Bankers' association of America; Chester Rowell, of the state railroad commission; Capt. John D. Fredericks, of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, and others. A message from line foreman, and about ninety-five per cent of all the workers are partner-stockholders in the company which employs them. With promotion without political influence, they look forward to long service. It is the personal interest in their company which prevents waste, insures efficiency and provides its reward. Do we have to seek further for the reason why projects become productive property punctually at the time the public requires its product, and why the history of the Big creek—San Joaquin development has been a continuous annal of broken records in tunnel driving and the completion of plants before schedule time, and at costs below the estimates? "But beyond the personal incentive which impels us in this work there is a motive, broader and bigger—this is the people's project. It is the people's project because for a trifling sum, the price of a pair of shoes, anyone can take the initial step to become a part owner and associate in this work. "I can conceive of no higher form of public ownership than the ownership of the stocks and bonds of the great public service companies by the people who consume their product. "Under private operation, publicly regulated, all of the incentives of the individual are fostered and impelled, and brought to the highest standard of practical performance. With every consumer of electricity in the state of California a part owner in the company which supplies him with electricity, California will not only maintain its lead in supplying the cheapest and best electrical service on the continent, but will forge faster and further ahead and become the prosperous center of population of the far west." A BIG JOB One of the biggest annual tasks of the Automobile Club of Southern Cali- THE MAIN THING "My poor man," said the sympathetic prison visitor, "do let me send you some cake?" "Thank you, mum. That would suit me fine" "What kind would you prefer?" "Any kind, mum," said the prisoner, lowering his voice to a whisper, "Just so it's got a file in it." The convention brings together 500 delegates from Arizona, Nevada, and California, representatives of every phase of the industry. At the industrial conference and banquet Friday, there were addresses by Howard F. Beebe, president of the Investment Bankers' association of America; Chester Rowell, of the state railroad commission; Capt. John D. Fredericks, of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, and others. A message from Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, was received by direct wire during the banquet. Technical and commercial sessions dealing with the problems of the industry were held during the three successive days which the convention continued. "California leads the world in electrical development," said R. H. Ballard, on Thursday evening, May 25, in addressing the state editorial association, which was in session at Huntington Lake lodge last week. "What you have seen during your sojourn in the high Sierras, is typical of the progress being made in every part of the state to harness the rivers and streams and make them produce the maximum of their potential power. "Popular ownership by the people at large of the securities of the companies," continued Mr. Ballard, "with the efficiency of private management and operation and the safeguard of public regulation to both the public and the investors, the great hydroelectric power companies of the state, with their armies of experienced leaders and trained, loyal workers, are on the job. They are compelling the waters of our state to generate electricity as fast—and just a little faster than it can be utilized by our growing and intensifying population. The irrigation of lands, the driving force for factories, the propelling of the wheels of transportation and an abundant supply of light and heat and power for all commercial activities and residential convenience and comforts is constantly available through the work of these forces. "The use of electricity in California is widespread and the extension of distributing lines to agricultural lands and to more or less sparsely populated territory, is so far in advance of electrical development and distribution in other states of the union that California stands out conspicuously as the leader in electrical development and its application." "This widespread use of the magic force has been made possible by pany which supplies him with electricity. California will not only maintain its lead in supplying the cheapest and best electrical service on the continent, but will forge faster and further ahead and become the prosperous center of population of the far west." A BIG JOB One of the biggest annual tasks of the Automobile Club of Southern California has just started—the re-charting of the trans-continental highways leading to the southern part of the state. The official crew representing the club's sign-posting department and its drafting bureau is now en route to Kansas City over the National Old Trails highway. It is probable that the chartering car will continue on to New York. Making the plains and deserts safe for California motoring visitors is the purpose of the long journey. The trails across the continent were marked a number of years ago by the club, but it is necessary to renovate the system of signs annually because travellers are continually "shooting up" the metal signs. As the club crew travels eastward it will keep constantly in touch with the touring bureaus of the organization throughout the southern part of the state so that motorists of any section wishing to tour to the east this summer will have road news hot from the wires. Work is progressing rapidly on the sign-posting of the Bankhead or southern trans-continental highway into southern California by club crews, according to an announcement just made. This will serve to bring in thousands of motoring parties every year. Sign-posting work for motorists will be undertaken by the club on the new Mohave-Lancaster route, which connects the northern and southern sections of the state, and which is just being completed. This is an important link on the inland route of California. Other road marking work is also being undertaken by the organization in practically every county in southern California at this time, in anticipation of an unusual summer rush of motorists.

City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. 5-18-3t "The use of electricity in California is widespread and the extension of distributing lines to agricultural lands and to more or less sparsely populated territory, is so far in advance of electrical development and distribution in other states of the union that California stands out conspicuously as the leader in electrical development and its application. "This widespread use of the magic force has been made possible by schedule of rates to consumers which are absolutely non-discriminatory and which so spread the cost of service as to encourage development in all sections, keeping constantly in mind that the growth and prosperity of our cities and large centers of population would depend absolutely upon active production and prosperity in our smaller communities and agricultural territory." "No less an authority than Herbert C. Hoover, secretary of commerce of the United States, has recently stated that nowhere is power so cheap as in California. "When I come into these countains and see what you have seen, I catch the spirit of the men who smile the rocks, with the brawn of their strong right arms; gouge tunnels through miles or granite, and say to the water courses which have wound their way for centuries: 'Change your course that you can better serve mankind.' When I see this work and realize its significance to the state of Califoronia, I can truly lay hold on that faith which can remove mountains. "Individual initiative is the impelling force behind this mighty task which we are accomplishing. Go down the line among the men that you have seen and you will find that every executive, every directing head, every being completed. This is an important link on the inland route of California. Other road marking work is also being undertaken by the organization in practically every county in southern California at this time, in anticipation of an unusual summer rush of motorists. CONGRATULATIONS, ANAHEIM All Orange county extends its congratulations to Anaheim for the successful manner in which the Valencia show is being presented. The exhibition has grown tremendously since it was started, and it is sure to keep on growing year by year as success after success crowns the efforts of those who are managing it. The Valencia orange is indeed worthy of the attention bestowed upon it. While other localities in California grow some Valencias, Orange county is that fruit's real home. Essentially, the Valencia is an Orange county product, for it is in this county that the orange is grown most successfully. The climate and soil combined with intelligent cultivation, have produced an orange that is without a peer in flavor and marketing qualities. It has established in the favor of the country a place that is firmly fixed. The Valencia brings its millions to Orange county. It brings fame, too, and a high degree of satisfaction to those who are engaged in the industry. So, all hail the Valencia! It takes an exhibition such as is now in progress at Anaheim for us to realize fully how big a thing the Valencia industry really is. For that reason, if for no other, everybody in Orange county ought to attend the show.—Register." AIN THING said the sympathetdo let me send you um.
