REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES
ELECT FIVE DELEGATES

The primary election for delegates
to the Republican state convention
to be held at Reno April "a, elected
the following to represent the Repub-
licans of Clark county:
Walter r. Bracken, Harry T. Cof-
fey and E. w. Griffith of Las Vegas;
Willard l.. Jones of Overton and Ben
l.. Peters of Nelson.
Owing to the distance from Reno
and the expense of attending the
convention, there was no competi-
ton for places on the ticket The
fact that a primary election was held
in each county in the state, will re-
suit in making the Reno convention
representative of the rank and file
of the party, in decided contrast to
the tactics of the Democratic ma
chine, when the steam roller" was
used to flatten the element which
favored state wide primaries.
At the Reno convention, April "a,

LEAGUE OF SOUTHWEST
TO BOOST BIG Project
Colorado River Reclamation to
Be Promoted BY Big L. A.
Meeting Next Week

Los Angeles has prepared a very
elaborate program of instruction and
entertainment for the hundreds of
delegats to the convention of the
League of the Southwest, April 1, 2
and 8. The convention is called for
the purpose of enlisting the COM
bined sentiment of the southwestern
states for the promotion of the great
Colorado River Reclamation project.
The project contemplates the bull
ding by the government of a series
of dams on the Colorado. The first
and greatest of these in all probabil-
ity is the one for which surveys are
already made, to be located in Clark
county at a point west of the mouth
of the Virgin river. This dam as
planned, would impound the largest
artificial body of water in America.
The building of this dam will en-
ploy probably two thousand men for
from five to ten years, and this ac-
tivity alone will be of untold benefit
to the business interests of Las We
gas and Clark county. The compile
tion of the dam will be followed by
great electric power plant designed
to furnish cheap power to the rail-
roads, mines, ranches and other en-
terprises.
Governor Emmett d. Boyle has ap-
pointed three delegates for the state
of Nevada, from Las Vegas, DR.. R.
w Martin, Charles B. Smith and c.
P. Squires, who expect to attend the
convention. Any others who will
be able to attend are requested to
notify Mayor w. e. Ferron or Pres.
H. NJ Lillis of the Las Vegas Cham
Der of Commerce.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The girls of the House-Planning
class returned to school on Monday,
after a delightful trip to Los Angel
es. The girls purchased table OF
the Queen Anne style and draperies
for the high school dining room. They
learned o. great deal during their
brief visit for the entire day they
made a study of the different kinds
of furniture. They also learned a
great deal about interior decorating.
After they had accomplished their
purpose, the girls took in the latest
shows and had jolly good time dur
ing the rest of their visit.
The boys of the high school man
ual training class are planning to
make chairs for the dining room.
They will be of the Queen Anne style
also.
The high school baseball team
challenged the grammar school team
to a inning game, to take place
the 26th. However, the game has
been postponed until next Friday on

The party drove over the road from
Gina to Amboy via Lanfair and
Goffs.
If a road was constructed from
Jean to Goffs it would probably go
via South Ivanpah on the Salt Lake
few miles longer that the Kelso
route.
The possibilities of this route might
be favorable if it should become a
question between this route and the
route via Kelso to Amboy.
The State of California has provid-
ed for the construction of an i'm
proved road from Barstow to Need
les.
The Searchlight route from Las
Vegas would require, of new con-
struction, 81 miles.
The Kelso route from Las Vegas,
1873 miles.
The Silver Lake route from Las
Vegas, 160 miles.
The Searchlight route would re-
quire new construction in Nevada, SO
miles; in California. IA miles.
The Kelso route in Nevada, 46
miles; in California, 81 miles.
Silver Lake route in Nevada, 81
miles; in California, 103 miles.
The most important consideration
in the construction of the Arrowhead
Trail in the State of California is to
procure the shortest route from Salt
Lake to Southern California. You will
note that by the construction of 1O3
miles of new road in California on
the Silver Lake route the distance
from Las Vegas to San Bernardino
is approximately $50 miles.
BY construction of 81 miles of new
road along the eKlso route the dis
tance is 295 miles.
BY constructing IA miles of new
road on the Searchlight route the dis
tance is 1922 miles.
The Nevada and Utah officials re-
quest that the San Bernardino coun-
ty supervisors indicate their prefer
ence as to the point where the Call

GORMLEY BOUND OVER
ON PERJURY CHARGE
Helen Kelly Gormley Arrives
But Does Not Appear at
Preliminary Hearing

The preliminary hearing on the
chargess preferred by the district at
torney against James ]. Gormley. in
which the defendant is alleged to
have perjured himself at the trial of
his divorce case against Ramona
Gormley in the district court, result
ed in binding Gormley over for trial.
The case was contested hotly by
Frank r. and Leo A. McNamme and
A. w. Ham, representing Gormley
The prosecution was ably conducted
by District Attorney Stebenne, as
sisted by Frank A. Stevens and A.
s. Henderson. The defense was to
a great extent purely technical, be-
ing based upon the contention that,
a default having been entered in the
divorce case, there was no issue be-
fore the court and therefore, CORN
ley's testimony, true or false, was
immaterial and does not form ba-
sis for a charge of perjury under the
laws The defense offered no testi-
mony at the hearing to controvert
alleged falsity of Gormley's testimo-
ny. Defendant was released pend
ing his trial in the district court on
$4,000 bond.
An interesting feature of the mat
rimonial mix-up was the filing by
Gormley of another suit for divorce
against Ramona Gormley after dis
missing the former one in which his
decree was set aside.
+. Helen Kelly Gormley. reputed to
be an heiress, whom Gormley marri-
ed following the decree which the
court set aside on the ground that
1t was obtained by perjured testimo-
ny, arrived during the week and is

ILLIPAH OIL FIELD CENTER OF
INTEREST TO EXPERT OIL MEN

J. E. Amenda, president of the Ill
ipah Basin Oil & Gas Company, who
is making his headquarters in this
city, has received word that James J.
Wheeling. expert oil man who repre-
sents many oil interests in Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Kansas, inspected the
Illipah oil field, where active drilling
operations are now in progress.
Wheeling had this to say after his
investigation:
81 am astonished to find such
perfect organization, in a new and
undeveloped field in Nevada. The
spirit of confidence in this enterprise
is wonderful and as to the field |
find it an ideal oil field. There being
gas pressure encountered at 400 feet
and the high grade of oil which is
seeping in the hole is conclusive
proof of large bed of oil under the
basin, and in my opinion the lllipah
company has an even chance for
big gusher at about 1900 feet
He also said the company is we'll
financed. and each branch of the OPP
erations seemed to be in the hands
of capable man.-Silver State.

ENGINEERS SELECT
ROUTE VIA DAGGEH
Would Route Highway Via Bit
ter Springs to Silver Lake.
No Action Taken
(san Rernardino sunl.

Recommendation that the county
adopt the Daggett-Bitter Springs-Sil-
yer Lake route for the Arrowhead
Trails, which is the Southern Cali
fornia branch of the Lincoln High
way, report of L. R. Lothrop. high
way commissioner, and E. T. Ham,
county surveyor, was filed with the
board of supervisors yesterday. This
report is strictly on the engineering
features of the route. The report
of other members of the inspection
party, including Supervisors A. B.
Mulvane and A. G. Kendall, has not
been made.
The mileage via the Silver Lake
route from Barstow to Las Vegas is
ITO miles; that via Amboy and Kel-
so, 215 miles; and that via Search
light, 242 miles.
The engineers recommend the point
on the Nevada-C California line about
two miles west of Sandy on the Sill
yer Lake route as the place of en-
trance into San Bernardino county
from Nevada
Following is the main portion Of
the report:
Unless the route from Las Vegas
to San Bernardino should be built
via Searchlight, which on account or
the long distance seems out OF the
question, the California connection
with the Nevada state highway
would in any case pass through Jean,
Nevada a small station on the Salt
Lake railroad about 33 miles from
Las Vegas, and approximately 500
miles from Salt Lake City.
Accompanying this report is a pro-
file showing distances and elevation
of the following routes:
The route from Barstow to Las
Vegas via Searchlight is 242 miles.
The route from Barstow to Las
Vegas via Amboy, Kelso and Jean
is 215 miles.
The route from Barstow to Las
Vegas via Bitter Springs, Silver
Lake, Goodsprings, and Jean is ITO
miles.
The route examined from Barstow
to Jean via Garlic Springs, Silver
Lake, is IA miles longer in distance
than via Bitter Springs, therefore
the route via Bitter Springs is re-
commended.
You will notice that the route to
Las Vegas via Silver Lake and Good
springs is as miles shorter than the
route via Kelso and 72 miles shorter
than the route via Searchlight.
Silver Lake route shows the fol-
lowing distances:

DRIVERS CAN PREVENT WEAR
One Thing That Is Most Destructive 10
Driving In Tracks-Distribute
Traffic Evenly.

Drivers can prevent wear to the sur
faces of the roads and even improve
their conditions, If instead of driving
In one track or on the edge of the
road, they will drive over the middle
and other less-used parts Of the road
when traffic permits. The one thing
that Is fatal above all things to road
surfaces, whether dirt or paved, Is
driving In tracks. which subjects one
small part of the road surface to all
the traffic and damage that the whole
road accommodates. Traffic should be
evenly distributed over the entire sur
face Of the road, and little thought
fulness and care in this respect on the
part OF drivers will do much to add
to the permanence and excellence of
our roadways.
