MAN AND FREMONT STREETS
BEING GREATLY IMPROVED

The city is resurfacing Main and
Fremont streets which have lately
been in rather poor condition. The
work in being done with the county
machinery. The surface has been
broken up and regarded and smooth
ed and the big roller is busy in pack
ing the material into smoothness.
These streets were put in by the
Las Vegas Land & Water Company
in 1905, at the time the townsite was
opened The material consisted Of
gravel which was oiled and rolled.
This same material has still enough
oil in it to make good surface over
the street, especially in the center,
although somewhat lacking in oil at
the sides. About three years ago
these streets were treated in the
same manner as at present, and the
result way a very good surface last
ing we'll considering the small cost
of the work.

FIRE THREATENS DRILLING
OUTFIT OF iLLIPAH COMPANY

After the second shift had quit
work on Monday night at the we'll OF
the Illipah Basin Oil & Gas Com
pany, and while all the men were at
the bunk house, short distance away
a fire was observed at the plant.
The Ford car was pressed into SER
vice and in a few minutes part OF
the crew arrived at the we'll and
soon had the fire under control. The
fire, it is presumed, started from the
fire under the boilers, which had not
been extinguished. About eight cords
O fwood were burned, portion OF
the platform and a piece OF hose,
none of which were essential In the
operation of the plant. A truck was
Immediately sent to Ely for lumber
to repair the platform, which was on
its way to the we'll early Tuesday
morning. Had it not been for the
service of the Ford, which carried
the me nto the we'll in record time,
and a favorable wind, the losses
would have been quite serious, but
as Secretary Foster stated, "It was a
most fortunate fire, as but little dam
age was done" The plant was In
working order Tuesday afternoon, and

HOOVER ENDORSES THE
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
Calls on All Elements to Work
For Election of Harding
and Coolidge

Herbert Hoover has thrown his sup
port solidly behind Senator Harding
and called on all shades of the Re-
publican party to support the Repub-
lican presidential nominee. Hoover
announced his support of the Repub-
lican ticket after breakfasting with
Harding at the latter's invitation.
The announcement has definitely
cleared the doubt surrounding Hoov-
er's attitude as a result of the Chi
cago convention. Hoover reiterated
the previous statement of Harding
that Harding would issue no state
ment of policies until after the Demo
cratic convention. In response to
inquiries Hoover said the Chicago
platform was not radical. The great.
part of 1t is constructive, and con-
tanned nothing to prevent the compro-
mise planks on labor, the League of
Nations, etc., from being forward
looking Interpretation. He said that
some things, including the reorgani-
zation of our election expenditures
and the primaries, are not adequate
ly dealt with. Nothing could be more
disasterous than the development of
several party organizations represent
ing the complexion of every group in
the country, he said. With the legis-
lative and executive functions more
widely separated than in any other
democracy the whole process of con-
structive government will come to an
end if we have more than two domi-
nant parties.

CHARGED WITH KILLING
MlLLER'S 5LooDED BULL

Tom Saki and Bill Tomiyasu were
arrested Friday, June 18, charged
with having shot a valuable blooded
bull belonging to the Hotel Nevada
Mining Company, of which John F.
Miller is manager, and converting
the meat to their own use. The al
legged offense was committed on or
about April 27, but was just brought
to light through young man named
L. Stewart who had been working
for the men on the ranch. Stewart
it appears mentioned the fact that
the Japanese had killed an animal,
supposing that 1t belonged to them.
Mr.. Miller was informed Of the re-
mark, swore out complaint and
search warrant, and the officers
found beef salted down which they
believe to be a portion of the miss
ing animal The bull, which was val
ued at $500, mysteriously disappear
ed about April 27, and Mr.. Miller up
to this time had been unable to find
a trace of the animal.
Tom Saki was released on $4,000
bail pending the hearing, but Bill re-
NAMED in Jail. The preliminary
hearing is being held before Judge
MacDermott, sitting in the absence
of Judge Lillis, this afternoon
A. ]. Stebenne, district attorney,
is prosecuting the action, and Breeze
and Hinman are appearing for the
defendants.

GREAT POWER Project
MAY SOON Be BEGUN
Passage BY Congress of Water
Power Development Bill
Full of Significance

The passage by Congress of the
bill which provides for the leasing
by the government of the right to de-
velop water power and electrical en-
ergy on the streams of the country,
is full of significance to Las Vegas.
1t is believed by those who are
we'll informed on the subject that,
under the new law, the proup Of east
ern capitalists represented by Mr..
Ralph Cameron, who have been en-
gagged for many months in the pre-
liminary work for developing the
power of the Colorado river near Las
Vegas, will be able to proceed with
their plans for the great project at
once. Such an enterprise will mean
the expenditure of millions of dollars
in Nevada, and the creation of a new
source of wealth through the use of
the tremendous power to be develop
ed.
The market for all the power that
can be developed is assured. The
great transcontinental railroads are
anxious and have long been planning
to substitute electricity for steam as
a motive power, and the needs of the
mining industry of Nevada and Ari-
zona will alo be satisfied by the new
development. Las Vegas, it is freely
predicted, will double in population
as result of the enterprise and the
entire state of Nevada will feel the
good effects.

Charles William Erwin was born In
Decatur, Illinois, July %, 1874. He
came to Searchlight In 1906 and has
been interested in mining in Eldora-
do Canyon since 1907. Two years ago
he was married to Mrs. Josephine Nc
era, who was residing at the Stewart
ranch in this city at the time of the
accident. Besides his widow, he
leaves surviving him two brothers,
Ernest Erwin of Oxnard. Cal, and
George Erwin of Los Angeles; his
mother, father, three brothers and
two sisters, living in Illinois. The
two brothers, Ernest and George,
came to Vegas and were present at
the funeral.
Funeral services were held Wed
nesday afternoon, June Is, 1920, at
four o'clock p. m, from the Methodist
church, Rev. VIM. H. Rogers officiat-
ing. Interment was at Woodlawn
Cemetery.
The deceased had been associated
since 1907 with VIM. ]. Crozier, who
is shocked and deeply grieved at the
death of his partner. During the
last year or two they have been de-
voting much of their time to inves-
tigating the possibilities of finding oil
fields in this section and were very
hopeful of success.
"Bill" Erwin was universally es-
teemed for his manly qualities. He
was quiet and pleasant in manner
and speech yet full of the strength
and vigor of high purpose. He was
a pleasant companion and staunch
friend. In his untimely death we wit
ness the passing of one more of those
sterling charactrs to which the great
west voiced it's call. We feel deep
personal loss which is shared by all
who knew him. Oour sympathy goes
out in unstinted measure to the wild
ow and to all those who are so sadly
bereaved by this act of an inscruta-
BILE providence.
