NEW POWER PLANT IN OPERATION TODAY Adds 220,000 Volts to the Energy of This District Augmenting the electric energy distributed in Anaheim and vicinity, and all of southern California south of Tehachepi, the million dollar power terminal of the Southern California Edison company, known as the new Laguna Bell substation in the southeastern suburbs of Los Angeles, went into service this morning, according to a message received by District Manager W. L. Deimling, from R. H. Ballard, vice-president and general manager. This station which is the largest on the Pacific coast and which is the first station in California constructed for operation at 220,000 volts is the second step in making available to Anaheim additional energy to be transmitted over the Big Creek lines by reason of their diversion to this high voltage. It will bear the 125,000 horse power of new electric energy which comes on to the Edison lines this year from the construction of the largest hydro-electric power house west of Niagara Falls and thirty-three per cent additional generator capacity to the first power house on the Big Creek-San Joaquin project. Describing the features of the new Laguna Bell station to the Gazette, District Manager W. L. Deimling said: "Located as it is in the center of the main transmission system supplying the territory between Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Bernardino, from which distributing lines diverge this station with a capacity to deliver 150,000 horse power to the various points in this area will greatly augment the service rendered and provide for a large increase in the amount of heat will there be another until August 12, 2045; the earliest calculated eclipse seen from the region of southern California, according to astronomers, was March 15, 1244; B. C. Another was observed January 25, 744; B. C. There was a total eclipse visible over Catalina islands July 6, 726; B. C. The moon's shadow first will fall upon the surface of the earth northwest of Japan, so that the path of the total eclipse will begin in the Pacific ocean. It will cross the Pacific, grazing the extreme southwest part of southern California and the Channel Islands off this coast. It then will enter Mexico at Ensenada. The path of totality will lie about 105 miles broad. GASOLINE PRICE WAR BENEFITS THE AUTOIST Eleven Cent Gas Predicted in Southern California With 11-cent gasoline a possibility of the not far distant future, Santa Ana has found itself in the midst of a dramatic price-war, with the fate of the "independent" oil companies hanging in the balance. That the so-called Big Four—the Standard, Shell, Ventura and Union Oil companies—plan to wage, with 11-cent gas, what will be virtually a war of extermination on the many small independent refineries of the southern California fields, was made clear when it was reported that the Standard company was having 11-cent station tags painted. In the meantime, elsewhere in the southland, the independents were advertising gas at 11 cents and many others at 15, 16 and 17 cents. The Ventura company, first of the Big Four to cut its price in Santa Ana in retaliation for the independents' Allen had been in the speed limit hour, which, lately no law, way at that point one side, was mile or a fifte zone. There therefore, Wet against Allen. The coroner hours upon the quest was held due undertaking The jury constrain; Willie Cracken, John and M. L. Seal.

Deimling said: "Located as it is in the center of the main transmission system supplying the territory between Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Bernardino, from which distributing lines diverge this station with a capacity to deliver 150,000 horse power to the various points in this area will greatly augment the service rendered and provide for a large increase in the amount of business possible to be supplied. "The most advanced ideas of outdoor construction both for the 220,000 volt and 60,000 volts have been designed for this sub-station. The entire equipment is outdoors except the large condenser required for regulation of the lines of the 220,000 volt line and the switch-board equipment. This equipment is housed in a building one hundred and thirteen feet by seventy-six feet by fifty-two feet high, of concrete construction. It is situated in a tract twenty-seven acres in area which gives adequate room for additional equipment as needed to keep pace with this rapidly growing territory. Work on the station has been carried on since June 15, 1922, giving employment to two hundred seventy-two men who have been taken care of by camp facilities at the sub-station site. "In terms of increased community benefits the output of this station will make possible the irrigation of 195,000 acres of land, and supply the motive power for one hundred factories and will make possible domestic service to sixty thousand homes. "This station in conjunction with the Eagle Rock sub-station will be to the southern counties served by our company, what the Vestal station, near Porterville, is to the San Joanquin valley." SCIENTISTS WILL COME TO VIEW THE ECLIPSE Only 98 Per Cent of the Surface Will Be Covered Here It appears that the astronomers have figured out that an eclipse of the sun and moon will take place September 10, at which time the southern tip of the coast of California will be one of the favored spots for cash customers. Anaheim people either will have to bid for seats at Catalina, San Diego, or divers other places, or be content with a 98-per-cent view.

Anaheim people either will have to bid for seats at Catalina, San Diego, or divers other places, or be content with a 98 per cent view. While to the crowds at Catalina the sun will be invisible, a tiny spot will be seen here. In Los Angeles, it will be larger. The spot will continue to "Herpleide" until points in the eastern part of California won't hardly notice any inflammation of the heavens at all. The sun is scheduled to be obstructed at about 1 p.m. The performance is to begin at about 11:30 a.m. and the main event will have been concluded by about 2:30 o'clock. Soot smoged Moses are expected to be washed immediately after, if not sooner. At the following places the eclipses will be total. Surf, Lompoc, Concepcion, Elwood, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz island, Santa Rosa island, Catalina island, San Nicholas island, San Clemente island, Oceanside, Encenitas, Cardiff, Carlsbad, Del Mar, Sorrento, Linda Vista, Torry Pines, La Jolla, Point Loma, San Diego and Coronado. The following places will be cheated by 2 or 3 per cent: Guadalupe, Los Olivos, Miramar, Summerland, Carpenteria, Ventura, Santa Monica, Redondo; Los Angeles, Anaheim, Long Beach, Santa Ana; Capistrano and Escondido. Some interesting circumstances of the southern California eclipse of the sun are as follows: There has not been an eclipse of this kind in southern California since June 16, 1806, nor after this eclipse.

It was stated with reference to an accident near Garden Grove in which A.R.Williams African missionary was alleged to have sustained fatal injuries when he was struck by an automobile driven by T.B.Allen, of Garden Grove. Notwithstanding the verdict of a coroner's jury, which attributed the accident to "carelessness on the part of Allen in driving at an excessive rate of speed," the district attorney's office could see no grounds for a criminal complaint, according to Deputy District Attorney D.G.Wettlin, who attended the inquest. From the testimony offered at the inquest, Wettlin said, he considered Allen's part in the accident to have been unavoidable. He further disagreed with the jury's interpretation of the testimony to indicate that Allen had been driving at an excessive rate of speed. It was testified, Wettling said, that August 12, and eclipse the northern Californiers, was wher was obc.

There would be no grounds, therefore, Wettlin said, to proceed against Allen. The coroner's jury debated two hours upon the verdict when the inquest was held Saturday, at the Huddle undertaking parlors, in this city. The jury consisted of A. A. Slaback, foreman; William Pickering, J. F. McCracken, John Beat, L. F. Pomeroy and M. L. Seale. Coroner Charles D. Brown conducted the inquest. Wettlin attending for observation purposes. Allen was represented by Attorney Clyde Bishop. Allen, himself, did not testify, Ernest B. Kelsey, who was riding with Allen at the time Williams was struck down, while attempting to walk across the highway a quarter of a mile west of Garden Grove, late Wednesday, testified that Allen's car was traveling a rate within the speed limit, which he defined as thirty miles an hour. Miss Marion Marsh, who, with Miss Sitha George, was walking along the highway about two blocks away from the point of the accident estimated the cars' speed at anywhere from thirty-five to forty miles an hour when it passed her. She said the car was going "quite fast." Miss George did not attempt to estimate the rate of speed. Other testimony introduced tended to show that the car had struck Williams with terrific force, dragging him a distance of forty-one feet, and then continuing a short distance after he had fallen from the front fender and humper. The bumper had been convention in California. Total exclusion of immigration for a certain period of years until the country assimilates those immigrants who have already come to this country is advocated by the legion, Mr. Bolles said. Referring to the policy to let in thousands of immigrants espoused by Elbert Gary, chairman of the board of directors, of the United States Steel corporation, Mr. Bolles said: "It is far more important to us that America shall remain America than that the steel trust should have plenty of cheap labor. America can not maintain herself in the fact of such an influx and a halt must be put to it for a time." The problems of wounded soldiers will be given careful attention, by the coming convention, according to Mr. Bolles. He said that hospital work had been making rapid strides, but that there was still room for great improvement. To aid all projects for popular education and also to formulate definite plans to the end that illiteracy shall be abolished in the United States during the next decade will be one of the more important works of the coming convention, Mr. Bolles said. Also the question of physical education for the young will be considered and with the aim of increasing the health and efficiency of the coming generation and developing a better comprehension of citizenship. The legion is convinced in the absolute justice of adjusted compensation, of its necessity, economic soundness and fairness to the people of the United States, the legion official stated, in predicting that the compensation law will be adopted at the next session of congress. When Senator Smoot a bitter one the provisions of amendments to the horticultural commissioner's act, as adopted by the state legislature at its last session, was called to the attention of the Orange county board of supervisors by G. H. Hecke, director of the state department of agriculture. In a letter received by J. M. Backs, clerk of the board, Hecke cites the passage of amendments,which become effective August 21,superseding the present act, under which Commissioner A. A. Brock is now holding appointment. Hecke's communication was taken to indicate that the supervisors must act on the matter of an appointment, going through the formality of re-appointing Brock, unless a successor should be contemplated. Commissioner Brock was appointed slightly more than a year ago. Formal action on the appointment is necessary, Hecke stated, in order not to disturb the continuity of the important work now being carried on. INCREASING EXPENSES OF COUNTY HOSPITAL Superintendent Asks for $60,000 for the Coming Year In view of the steady increase in the number of patients handled at the county hospital and with certain permanent enlargement projects in sight,$60,000 will be necessary to finance the hospital upkeep and operations for the coming year, it was estimated in a report which has been filed by the superintendent, Dr. Harry Zaiser, with the board of supervisors. During the year just ended,$38,-407.91 was expended for operating the hospital, it was reported, this total not including $35,000 for a new addition to the hospital buildings,nor$2-.
