EDISON COMPANY FINISHES DARING ENGINEERING WORK Scenic Drive Way Through Cloud Land Completed Completing the most daring piece of roadway construction ever accomplished among the pinnacles of the high Sierras, and which will open for travel a scenic strip through cloudland, where only trapper and hunter have set foot, Manager of Construction K. R. Davis, of the Southern California Edison company, got into communication with G. C. Ward, vice-president in charge of construction of the Southern California Edison company, on Sunday night and phoned this message from Cascade: "We've finished the job ahead of time and have been over the road with a seventy-five tone caterpillar loaded with supplies for the men and materials for the work." Cutting their way through the solid granite of the cliffs that stand seven hundred feet above the tumbling waters of the San Joaquin river, a force of five hundred Edison men have just done another of the big things in engineering and construction which is making the development work of the company on the Big Creek San Joaquin project historical. The message which Mr. Davis sent to Mr. Ward Sune night has great significance because it means that this strip of five and seven tents miles of roadway, gouged out of the granite cliffs and now available for the monster trucks of transportation, makes poossible the hauling of materials and supplies to power house No. 3, which is under construction in the San Joaquin river canyon, and ensures its completion and the delivery of its electric product of one hundred thousand horsepower to the people southern and central California before the dry season of 1923. With this power house complete next summer, the road will be turned passed by the casting vote of Vice-President Dallas who had over and over again declared himself a protectionist and whose life was embittered by the reproaches that fell on him from those who trusted him to their own injury. If free trade had died in its cradle if it had been beaten in the house of commons could, it have reached our statute books? No. It would have sunk into a grave and all would have been quiet along the Potomac. For a decade England's experiment seemed to be a successful one. There were good foreign markets there was plenty of gold from Australia railroads were gaining in mileage shipping had plenty of cargoes and the prestige of free trade abroad had a great deal to do with our Guthrie tariff. Had Great Britain repudiated Peel and his policy there is little risk in saying that the shrewd leaders of the Democratic party would have refused to ould a house of cards. Think what able men were then in its councils, Martin Van Buren, Lewis Cass, William L. Marcy, Caleb Cushing, James Buchanan, Stephen A. Douglas, Roger B Taney, and this takes no account of the recruits from the recently expiring Whig organization. Remember that Jeremiah S. Black was one of the Democrats of that era, that John A. Dly was in the front line, that Edwin M. Stanton was well known in counsel, that William Cullen Bryant was athe editorial desk. Had free trade been scuttled in its own waters it would not have been chosen as a transatlantic yacht. Our civil war was followed by innumerable debates on financial policies, and we had plenty of speakers and writers who had us look at England's example. So able a man as David A. Wells went over to free trade, largely because he believed that it was working for the growth of England. Had England flung it aside he pudiation of thieftion. No charge could come to arouse the infidels.

With this power house completed next summer, the road will be turned over to the county and will open up automobilists a new wonderland and add another piece of magnificent highway to the miles of mountain road which the Southern California Edison company’s construction work has given to the people. Until the power house is completed the road which built exclusively with Edison money will be reserved for its heavy construction trucking. Starting from power house No. down the San Joaquin gorge, this stretch of road is almost entirely cut through solid rock on the face of the cliff. It will make a continuation of the road from Cascade and connects with the Prescott Mills road at Auberry, bypassing the road from Shaver lake which is impassable through the winter on account of deep snows, and will shorten the road to Fresno by about twenty miles. Reconnaissances were made for this feat of engineering last fall by E. J. Davis and the locating staff of the engineering corps. It was a perilous undertaking to lay out the first lines and Mr. Davis and his men were obliged to creep along on the edge of a precipice of seven hundred feet, climb vines and shrubs, as they crawled along. The next step in the process of their work was putting in the pneumatic drills and cutting out a foothold in the rock for the heavy machinery. The trail once made between power house So. 8 and power house No. 3, giant steam shovels were brought into play and the work of widening the trail into an automobile road was rushed through with the speed which characterizes the work of the trained mountaineers of the Edison construction force. As the work advanced more men were placed on the job and at the time of completion a crew of five hundred men were engaged in surfacing and smoothing the road bed over which the big trucks began immediately to travel. This is probably one of the most expensive strips of roadway ever built in the high Sierras, but the rapidity was atthe editorial desk. Had free trade been scuttled in its own waters it would not have been chosen as a transatlantic yacht. Our civil war was followed by innumerable debates on financial policies, and we had plenty of speakers and writers who bade us look at England's example. So able a man as David A. Wells went over to free trade largely because he believed that it was working for the growth of England. Had England flung it aside he might have paused. Would the Cobden club have boasted of a title chosen to honor a man whose forecast was only a mockery? Would pamphlets have been sent here to extol the British economic system if that system had proved a broken reed? Would college professors have told us that free trade was on a par with gravitation if free trade had fallen like Newton's apple? During session after session William D. Kelley told what protection had done for our furnaces and forges, and Henry C. Carey wrote as a philosopher. Had these sturdy champions pointed to the prostrate form of free trade on the soil of the land that had proclaimed its virtues "Parsee" Moore would have been less confident and Henry Watterson less combative. The sharp glance of Tilden would have perceived that America could not make banners out of England's misfits. Randgill could easily have silenced any one who lauded what Great Britain had laid aside Grover Cleveland had a large enowment of common sense—would he have written his message against our griff had he seen that free trade was in the domestic discard? Who can imagine John G. Carlisle and William R. Morrison advising the new world Democracy to rally round the flag that had gone to the Whitechapel rag shops? David B. Hill licensed the importers by saying: "It is hard to make converts to free trade in cities black with the smoke of fires that would not have been lightened had it not been for a tariff." Thousands, myralda of Democrats agreed with him though they were not hold enough to say so. But if Hill and Flower and Dana had seen free trade cut up and plecked in the British shambles there would not have been a Democratic district in the Empire state to echo the platitudes that no longer found listeners in the title island. Gorman in Maryland and Grady in Georgia would have had half the south in the protectionist ranks.

As the work advanced more men were placed on the job and at the time of completion a crew of five hundred men were engaged in surfacing and smoothing the road over which the big trucks began immediately to travel. This is probably one of the most expensive strips of roadway ever built in the high Sierras, but the rapidity with which the work was done, reduced the estimated cost materially. Compared with the cost of building three tramways to reach the three points, all openings in the tunnel from power house No. 8 to power house No. 3, which runs almost parallel with the road, a large sling is effected. This as will all seemings, which are being accrued by the record breather. The Democratic leaders of today understand what England's recent tariff legislation means. For some reason there are Republicans who have not awakened to its importance, and the sooner they will do the better. Had Great Britain done forty years ago what she has done of late our free traders would not have mustered a ragged-regiment. BOTH HARDING MEN Democrats generally, as well as certain pseudo-Republicans who have not been treated as generously by the present administration as they could have wished, have taken a wicked delight in referring to the nomination of Senator Beveridge in Indiana and of Gifford Pinchot in Pennsylvania as a clap at President Harding. Because both of those gentlemen wer at one time aligned with the progressive element of the Republican party, political malcontents rush to the conclusion that the yare radically at odds with the type of Republicanry that is now directing national affairs. They assert that because New has the confidence of the president his defeat by Mr. Beveridge necessarily is a reflection on Mr. Harding; likewise because Mr. Alter had the support of Pennsylvania Republicans who also are Harding men, therefore his defeat is a re- THE CITY OF TRADE What is fact in economics that is not surprising at that country made on emergency tariffs that we have not followed it with a permanent one. That Germany is showing industrial strength in what was generally anticipated. The salient fact the fact of facts is that Great Britain has not merely slain free trade but has not taken time to lay it out before the trite arguments are formally pronounced out of date. All the talent of Walker all the power of the south all the influence of the Polk administration could only win a tie for the low tariff of 1846.

Reack was mere, that nine, that known in Bryant had free waters en as a by initial politspeakers at Engleman as to free saved that of Engleside he pudiation of the national administration. No charge could be better calculated to arouse the ire of true Republicans. The fact is that both Mr. Beveridge and Mr. Pinchot pledged allegiance to the Harding administration through out their campaign. President Harding himself emphatically declares that he has no quarrel with either of the men, but, on the contrary, is earnestly desirous of their victory at the polls next November. In neither state were the record and policies of the administration made issues and it certain that practically all of the votes that will affect them to office next November will be cast by enthusiastic supporters of President Harding. Mr. Beveridge is receiving assurances every day from so-called conservative Republicans of their support. Senator James E. Watson of Indiana one of the best campaigners in the party ranks and enjoying the most intimate relationship with President Harding is planning to go on the stump for Beveridge. His support for election will be as sincere as any candidate for the senate ever was accorded by the voters of Indiana or by the national administration. Democratic hopes of a split among Hoosier Republicans are destined to be shattered. Mr. Pinchot has hit vigorously back at those who would like to see the future Republican governor of Pennsylvania estranged from the Republican president at Washington. Says he: "Some people are even discussing my probable action as head of the Pennsylvania delegation to the next national convention provided I am elected governor. They are linking this gossip with what they have chosen to term my possible presidential aspirations. If I do get to the convention as the head of the Pennsylvania delegation I expect to see just one even— cifflie company and others western railroads. This campaign is similar to the "No Accident" campaign conducted by the railroads last yea rand which showed a remarkable decrease in grade crossing accidents. Railroad officials who have given the subject of grade crossing accidents intensive study are clear in the opinion that the prevention of such accidents is largely a matter of educating drivers of automobiles, both as to the hazards and as to the necessity for excreting caution. Commenting on this, R. J. Clancy assistant to the general manager of the Southern Pacific, said: "Accidents at grade crossings are largely due to carelessness on the part of drivers. At grade crossings on the Southern Pacific during the last 4 years ending December 31, 1921, 2755 automobiles were damaged or destroyed, 208 people were killed and 921 injured. "It is interesting and helpful to a solution of this problem to know the manner in which these accidents occurred; 1390 ran on the track front of train indicating that many of them tried to beat the train to the crossing, resulting in 185 fatalities and 569 injuries; 676 ran into the side of the train instead of the train into them, resulting in 13 deaths and 253 injuries; 327 stalled or died on track, mainly as a result of waiting until on or near track before shifting gears, resulting in 7 deaths and 41 injuries; 89 approached the track at a speed above the braking power of their machine, were unable to stop and skidded into the train, resulting in 17 injuries; 207 ran through and broke down crossing gates lowered to protect them from approaching train, the result of approaching crossing at speed above braking power of their machine or recklessly driving through gate lowered to protect them, resulting in 18 injuries; 20 ran down and in- Republican governor of Pennsylvania estranged from the Republican president at Washington. Says he: "Some people are even discussing my probable action as head of the Pennsylvania delegation to the next national convention provided I am elected governor. They are linking this gossip with what they have chosen to term my possible presidential aspirations. If I do get to the convention as the head of the Pennsylvania delegation I expect to see just one even—the unanimous rehomination of President Harding." Those who have professed to see in Mr. Pinchot's nomination a vindication of their ill-considered attacks on President Harding will do well to ponder that declaration. In stead of taking a stand against the administration, Mr. Pinchot is the original "second-term-Harding" man. His upstanding assertion of loyalty is added proof that schisms in Republican ranks are a thing of the remote past and that the seeds of discontent sowed by the wily enemies of Republicanism are falling on barren ground. The huge pluralities rolled up for Mr. Harding in 1920 showed where the Republicans of the country stood then and nothing that has occurred in any state since has indicated anything but an increase of respect and affection for their leader in the white house. BIG YACHT CLUB PLANS STATION AT PALISADES That Orange county harbor is to have a station of the California Yacht club of Los Angeles, became known last week when W. S. Sparr, president of the Sparr Fruit company, of Los Angeles, announced that his company within the next week would present the club with a deed to an acre and a half site at Balboa palisades, and Frank A. Garbutt, vice-president of the club, stated that the deed would be accepted and a club house would be built on the site. The statements were made by both men, confirming rumors of the past few days that the club contemplated location of a station at Palisades. At the same time Lew H. Wallace, of Newport, announced that the government had recognized Newport harbor to the extent of establishing a behop just oce the jetty. According to Sparr, the club property will have a frontage both on the bay and ocean. It extends from suiting in 7 deaths and 41 injuries; 89 approached the track at a speed above the braking power of their machine, were unable to stop and skidded into the train, resulting in 17 injuries; 207 ran through and broke down crossing gates lowered to protect them from approaching train, the result of approaching crossing at speed above braking power of their machine or recklessly driving through gate lowered to protect them, resulting in 18 injuries; 20 ran down and injured crossing flagmen, standing at their post of duty to the last minute warning them of an approaching train, resulting in 2 deaths and in 15 injuries; 46 ran into cattle guards, warning signs and other protective devices, resulting in one death and 8 injuries. The cause of these accidents is made clear by the manner in which they occurred. If 208 were killed and 921 injured in a railroad accident it would be appalling to everyone. It is no less appalling when this aggregate is attained in compounding periodical results. The analyst clearly discerns the cause of these accidents to be carelessness which may be remedied by the exercise of proper judgment on the part of drivers of automobiles. In other words, before attempting to cross the tracks of a railroad, drivers of automobiles should stop, look in both directions and listen, and while waiting for train to clear a cross where there is more than one track should make sure that a train is not approaching from the opposite direction on some other track. Such precaution at the most would rarely require a wait of more than 60 seconds." SPENT ON ROADS The bureau of public roads of the United States department of agriculture estimate the total expenditure for construction and maintenance of the roads in the country in 1921 to be $600,000,000. The sources of this fund are approximately as follows: Motor vehicle revenue, 19 per cent; state road bonds, 7 per cent; local road bonds, 33 per cent; state taxes and appropriations, 12 per cent; federal aid 14 per cent; county township and district taxes and assessments, 14 per cent; and miscellaneous, 1 per cent.

At the same time Lew H. Wallace, of Newport, announced that the government had recognized Newport harbor to the extent of establishing a belfop just off the jetty. According to Sparr, the club property will have a frontage both on the bay and ocean. It extends from a point near the government station on the bay blues to a point touching the ocean front. Garbitt said that he could not say definitely when plans for a club house might be executed, but he thought that the house would be built within a year. The club is one of the largest yacht-ing organizations on the Pacific coast. It has a membership of 545. There are sixty three boats in the fleet and twenty-one are now under construction for members, according to Garbutt. Garbutt said that he considered Newport harbor as one offering exceptional advantages to his club. MOTORISTS IN CAREFUL CROSSING CAMPAIGN Interest of automobile owners here has been nenlisted in the four month nation-wide "Careful Crossing Campaign." Railway association is now seeking to prevent highway accidents at grade crossings, involving railroad trains, vehicles and pedestrians. The campaign began June 1. Colored posters graphically showing motorists the dangers of carelessness in crossing railroad tracks are being distributed by the Southern Pa. A WORD WITH WOMEN Valuable Advice for Anaheim Readers Many a woman endures with noble patience the daily misery of backache, pain about the hips, blue, nervous spells, dizziness and urinary disorders, hopeless of relief because she doesn't know what is the matter. It is not true that every pain in the back or hips is trouble "peculiar to the sex." Often when the kidneys get congested and inflamed, such aches and pains follow. Then help the weakened kidneys. Don't expect them to get well alone. Doan's Kidney Pills have won the praise of thousands of women. They are endorsed right in this locality. Read this woman's convincing statement: Mrs. Mae Stone, 238 Whiting Ave., Pullerton, Cal., says: "My kidneys were weak and I felt dull and languid. Frequent headaches and dizzy spells made me miserable and my back was weak and lame and often ached... I tired easily and had no energy. One of the family advised Doan's Kidney Pills, and they soon restored my energy, the backache left and I was free from headaches and dizziness." 60c, at all dealers.
