Gigantic Electrical,Scheme.
A corporation to be known as the
Southern California Power Company,
has been organized at San Bernardino, A
Cal., with a capital stock of $1,000,
000. The principal stockholders are
Henry Fishtr, of Pitt-burg, Pa., and
H. H. Sinclair, president and manager
of the Redlands Electric Light and
Power Company, of San Bernardino.
The present place of business of the
corporation is Redlands. The purpose
of the company is to develop power
I from the Santa Ana river by taking the
river out at the junction of Bear Creek
and Santa Ana river, carrying it in a
cement ditch and tunnels about four
miles, thus securing a fall of 1,000 to
1,100 feet and then running the water
a again into the stream. The power
f will be transmitted by pole line fifty
v seven miles to Los Angeles, there to
s supplant steam power now used to de
r velop electricity for hlighting and rail
r road companies. It will be the longest
e lin uii-d the highest voltage, 30,000
e volts, in use in the wiorld. 'The line
o will run through San Bernardino, On
tario and Pasadena, and will be able to
supply all- power needed in these towns.
Work will be begun in the Santa Ana I
d canon, as soon as the surveys are com
>f pleted, which will be about April 1. It
d is proposed to deliver power in Los An
f geles by January 1, 1898. P

I The Next Attorney General.
A New York Herald special from
s' Canton, Ohio, says:
=r President-elect McKinley has ceased
to drift in h;s search for the New
Yotk member of his cbinet. He has
definitely decided upon Colonel John
a- J. MIcCook for attorney general. Th.
se appointment was agreed upon at a con
r- ference between the Major and Mr.
w Hanna.
n The purpose was not to have it
n- known till a day or two before the in
n- augu ation.
n It lbas been known that Colonel Mc
u- Cook would accept if a position in the
n- cabinet were offered him.
ka The sequel to Colonel McCook's ap
pr- point is likely to be that Senator
Platt's recommendation for collector of
the port and other Federal offices will
be followed, so that the basis for har
in mony will not 1.o destroyed. The
Ite choice of Col. McCook is to be taken
n- as a personal one on the part of the
A. president-elect. He has waited for the
ng conflicting interests in New York to
:cr get together and they have failed. Now
r a he determines to act for himself,
SNebra·kl:'s Deflelt.
he A statement of the financial condi
nd tion of the State treasury of Nebraska
he shows that ex-State Treasurer J. 8.
en Bartley (Republican) has a deficeit star
in- ing him in the face of over $500,000.
or- Coupled with this is a little item of
t a, $27.000, which oxState Auditor Eugene
V. Moore, also Republican, needs to
account for in order to balance his
books. Mr. Bartley is unquestionably
pa- the victim of a too lenient policy in
sas asisting his friends in a financial way.
sy, Mr. Bartley deposited large sums of
a money in various State banks to help
Ir. them through the crisis. Several of
ond these subsequently failed and' others
ity were so closely pressed that it was im
ion possible to discharge the obligation.
ery Bartley says that in the course of time
had every cent will be paid. The shortage
ion, in Auitor Moore's accounts has not so
;ity far been explained.
