REPORT ON COTTON
BY ANOTHER EXPERT

Cotton growing in southern Nevada
has been the subject of much news
paper and conversational attention.
The possibilities have been set forth
and ampliied with facts that should
leave little room for doubt, but ia
vorable results, if any, are not visible
to the naked eye, says the Clark
County Review, so it is fitting that
information continue to be heralded.
The latest dissertation on the sub
ject comes to notice in a Los Angeles
newspaper, and is by Douglas White,
in charge OF the Pacific district agri-
cultural station of the United Sttaes
railroad administration. 1t reads:
The cotton idea, as far as it bears
upon southern Utah and that portion
of Nevada which lies along the water
way of the Virgin river, is no new
idea.
Way back in the early days, when
Brigham Young first sent the Mormon
pioneers to settle in it, what is now
known as Utah's Dixie" that is the
country lying along the Rio Virgin in
Washington county, one of the first
instructions to them was to test the
cotton possibilities in that section.
On the part of President Young
this was a matter of foresight, for he
realized the distance that then sepa-
rated them from the markets from
which these prime necessities must
be imported.
Like all instructions issued by this
leader of the Mormon pioneers, Presi-
dent Young's cotton advice was fol-
lowed strictly, with the result that in
the very earliest days of the Mormon
settlement along the Rio Virgin many
acres were planted to cotton and with
their development came the erection
of a large cotton mill, which still
stands near the town of Washington
and where for many years looms were
busy Transforming the product of the
cotton fields of southern Utah into
textiles with which to supply Utah's
needs.
There was at that time no such
thing grown in this part of the world
as long-staple Egyptian and the pres
ent high-grade Pima cotton was un-
known. Today the same climatic con-
ditions govern the valley of the Rio
Virgin. and with the development of
the proposed reclamation projects in
that portion of southern Utah and Ne
vada thousands upon thousands of
acres will be made available for this
valuable crop.
Farther south, along the Rio Virgin

the river. is a large area that is hound

Southern Nevada will have a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for Representative in Congress, &C
cording to information received from
a reliable Tonopah source. Harry
Atkinson, district attorney for Nye
county, is the man. For some time
rumor has connected Atkinso1's name
with the congressional nomination,
but it has never developed beyond the
rumor stage. The direct information,
however, that he will be a candidate
comes from such a reliable source
that it can be regarded as absolutely
correct. The Nye county district at
torney is a young man standing high
in his profession. He is well and ia
vorably known all over Southern Ne
vada and has many friends in Washoe
county who will be willing to "go to
the bat" for him.

Sentiment fayoring A. L. Cheney as
a Republican candidate for United
States Senator next year has devel-
oped from several sources and seems
to be gaining in volume. Judge Che
ney has made no definite announce
ment as to what his intentions AN
but says that il is too early to be
talking about senatorial candidates.
People who claim to be on the inside,
however, insist that he is in a recep-
tive mood and undoubtedly will be in
the field. He is one of the best-known
attorneys in the State and has served
as district judge for Washoe, Churc-
hill and Humboldt counties in past
years. He is now president of the
board of regents of the State uni
versity.
In case Judge Cheney decides to
get into the senatorial fight he will
be the fifth in the field for the Repub-
lican nomination. A. Grant Miller,
former candidate of the Socialist
party for various Offices, including
Senator and Representative in Con-
gress. was the first. Then followed
Miss Anne Martin. Independent can
