dollars worth of supplies, essential to the construction of the dam would flow to the site on the Colorado river. This means an appreciable growth in population to Kingman and Mohave County and very large ac- erection to the business of merchants, stockgrowers and ranchers,
 No project ever fostered by the people of this community held forth the commercial possibilities which are offered by the building of the Boul- der Canyon dam. No project of similar nature ever built in the West, or in the United States, for that mat ter, equal in it's ramifications and in its benefits to the people of this and future generations, this plan for harnessing the Colorado river and making it subservient to the needs of mankind.
 Its conSummation means that the wheels of industry, both mining and otherwise, will be driven by electric power that will be supplied at a cost much lower than it would be possible for any private corporation to do SO. President Dudley was given assuran- ce by Secretary Fall that such a re- suit would follow. Aside from the hardly to be computed benefits that will accrue to the mining, milling and other industries of Mohave County, the project will bring under cultiva- tion an immense area of at present semi-arid land and will convert a desert into garden spot.
 It is not too much, nor is it too early to assert that the completion of the Boulder Canyon dam project will bring to Kingman, and the other towns of Mohave County, a largely increased population and a commer- cial importance which cannot be over estimated. And the gratifying cir constance, aside from the commercial prosperity which looms along the horizon, is the fact that the Boulder Canyon Dam project was first called to the attention of the United States Government through the agency of the Mohave County Miner and the people of Kingman, and that it is, in the last analysis, what might be termed Kingman and Mohave County enterprise. Certainly, it is heritage that may be passed on to coming generations as a monument to progressive spirit and business acumen of the present generation.
 In closing his report on the results accomplished at the meeting of the League of the Southwest at River side, President Dudley stated that the other members of the Mohave County delegation journeyed to San Diego, where, the current week, they were meeting with like delegations from other states of the Southwest, and with representatives from the neigh boring Republic of Mexico, on matters pertaining to the building of this dam.
 The local representation returned home last Thursday, and the members thereof will report in detail what was done at San Diego at the meeting of the Chamber of Mines and Commerce next Tuesday evening. This meet

along the course of the big vein, and to crosscut it at intervals. It is also purposed to drift along the center of. the vein instead of along the footwall,. as on the 100-foot level. This will make it possible to keep the drift in the ore at all times, and will eliminate. the danger of drifting away from or parallel to the vein.
 Sinking has also been resumed at a depth of 100 feet in the Adams workings located nearby the Gold Chain mine, and will continue to a depth of 100 feet below the first level, which was established at a depth of 100 feet. The decision to open the big ore body at deeper levels is the. direct result of the very satisfactory ore showing in the crosscut north of the shaft on the 100-foot level. There the ore is we'll oxidized, pans gold freely, and shows considerable coarse gold. A drift is being driven in the ore on the 100-foot level, and this work will continue at the same time that the shaft is being deepened. Two shifts of miners under the supervision of Tom Kilker, an old time Cripple: Creek miner, are doing the work. Their efforts are supplemented by a powerful plant of machinery.
 In the south end of the camp, shaft sinking is under way at the Katherine Rand and the Illinois Katherine prop critics. At the Treasure Vault proper ty the crosscut south from the shaft at
 adepth of 50 feet, has entered the vein and penetrated its breadth for a distance of IA feet. At the adjoin- ing Katherine Extension property con- ditions in the face of the crosscut on the 250 foot level indicate that vein is being neared.

tion of the Governments intention, he (Dudley) had long talk with the Secretary, during which MT. Fall re- iterated the Governments stand on the Boulder Canyon project, and as- sured MT. Dudley that he could re- turn to Kingman in complete confi- dence that the dam would be in toto a government enterprise.
 The Secretary expressed o MT. Dudley his appreciation of the invi- tations extended to him by the Mo- have County Chamber of Mines and Commerce, and the Thursday After noon Club of Kingman to visit the County Seat of Mohave County, but was doubtful whether he would be able to do so this time, owing to the demands of his Department in Wash ington. He hoped, however, at later date to visit Kingman, and to express to the residents of Mohave County his deep appreciation for the invita- tions extended, and for the loyal sup port of the cause of Government own ership of the Boulder Canyon dam project given him by the people of this community.
 President Dudley brought from the meeting at Riverside for his fellow members of the Mohave County Chamber of Mines and Commerce the assurance that Kingman would re- ceive proper recognition as the gate way through which the millions of

ERNEST Truck SCORES
A PERSONAL TRIUMPH

Ernest Truck, star of a series Ol
comedy films being released by Patht
this fall, has been accorded a person
al triumph by all the critics of the
Metropolitan dailies in reviewing the
seasons biggest hit, "Six Cylinder
Love-" at the Sam H. Harris Theatre
New York City. The appearance of an
actor of the ability of Truck in two
reel laugh-films predicates their sue
cess in amusing movie audiences OF
the Nation.
I'm particular last evening seemed
to be, and indeed must have been, a
heart warming occasion for Mr.
Truck" states Alexander Woollcott,
in the New York Times. 1.-THE booming
applause with real cheers which were
his portion when the curtain fell at
the end of the second act were an ex-
preston not only of an honest admir-
alton, but of the kind of affection that
our players usually hear about when
they begin their farewell tours. He is
deft and singularly engaging little
comedian and he enriches the role
Mr.. Mcguire wrote in ways which
that lucky author never dreamed. He
must be blind who sees this actor of
Six Cylinder Love and does not
know what a mighty good actor he
is"
Truck certainly achieved some par
ticularly excellent work both in the
comedy and in emotional matter-and
to the latter, he was, if am not mis-
taken-new," says Alan Dale in the
c
completely himself-unmoved. This
actor did several fine things-things
that few comedians do. He had the
mannerisms and the suavity Of the
French comedian. 1t was all very deft
and we'll DONE"
'Mr. Trucks tiny precision, his
minute and diminutive personality,
were in this playex panded into large
and full-blown emotions" comments
Percy Hammond of the New York
Tribune. "He inflated his small body
convincingly with anger and indig-
nation"
"All in all it is the best acting that
this mite of a comedian has done" ac-
cording to Louis V. De Foe of the
New York World.
Burns Mantle OF the New YOrk EV-
ening Mail predicts that "Six Cylinder
Love" will run year or two and
states, you can't guess how splend-
idly gripping is the working out of
the simple story, or how true and
satisfying Mr.. Truck
makes the telling of 1t. 1t is so per-
feet Characterization the audience I
was plainly of mind to climb over
the footlights to express its sympa-
thy and it's understanding of his prob
lem. And to laugh with him over it's
happy solution"
Such big praise for the clever lit
lie comedian attests to the ability of
Ernest Truck. His screen portrayals
ire even funnier than his stage char
which promise a laugh
best for the movie fans who view
lis new Pathe comedies.

OF A NATIONS
GRATITUDE

Turkey and cranberry sauce, crisp
weather, a general sense of well-being
and football are in the air at the very
mention of Thanksgiving, writes Mar
guerite Samuels in the New Orleans
Times-Picayune.
But football and too much dinner
are not, in the final analysis, all Of
Thanksgiving. There is a deeper, in
spirational side to the day set aside
through three hundred years Of Amer
ican history as the great national
celebration of gratitude.
Do you remember the simple story
of that first Thanksgiving day as you
read it in your primary reader? And
the thrill of thankfulness for national
greatness and goodness that came to
you as your chubby fingers drew de-
formed turkeys and round-eyed Pill
grim fathers on the school blackboard?
1t was in 1921, the fall following
the landing at Plymouth, that the Pill
grims celebrated the first Thanksgiv-
ing day. The little colony, one hun
dred and two sonls who had Jared
westward from England for their con-
sciences sake, had weathered the
storms of the Atlantic and the worse
hardships of a New England winter,
and they had won through at last
to sort of tranquility comparatively
speaking.
Back from the rocky cOastline of
Massachusetts, with its thunder of
limitless waves, little group of log
houses crowded together behind the
tall stockade, feeling safe in their
nearness to each other.
Garnered corn filled the barns and
the stOrerooms Of the houses were
pungent with ripe apples. The colony
felt firmly established in the New
World of its seeking. Even the silent
footed Indians had begun to under
stand that there was room for them
and for the pale faces too. The de-

A VISIT TO MT. VERNON

The following article concerning
himself and wife was submitted to the
Chronicle by Mrs. L. B. Graves of
Milford:
In order to refresh the memory OF
those who have visited Mt. Vernon
and to give an idea to those who have
not, I will name the buildings, the
stable and barn under one roof, the
coach house with the old coach, the
laundry house, buffers house, spring
house, carpenter shop, ice house,
weaving house with the old looms, pa
Wilton, kitchen with the large fire
place, pot hooks, tongs, and other
things used in those days. AS the Wis
itors stood around this most sacred
spot, men with uncovered heads,
there was a quietness and sincere
reverence for these honored dead. No
doubt, they were thinking of the past
and the present, or at least that was
my thought. An airplane had just
passed over our heads, which con-
trasted with the old coach we had
just viewed, certainly was evidence OF
the wonderful growth of one OF our
enterprises, transportation. While in
the mood of retrOspecting 1 copied
this inscription from one of the mon
uments: Bushrod Washington, nephew
of George Washington, Associated
Justice of the Supreme Court. AS
Judge he was wise and just, a man
of Truth hating cOvetOusness, firm IN
every honorable purpose and pursuit;
gentle, humane and condescending, a
sincere Christian, doing in all things
the will of his Master and resting his
hope of eternal happiness alone on
the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Then the old mansion, each room
contained original articles, said to
have been actually used by President
Washington and his family, the high
bedsteads, rag carpets, hunting horn, |
cane etc., the guest chamber and the |
bed room where President Washing
ton said to his attendants: "I feel my
self going, I thank you for your at
tention, but I pray you to take no !
more trouble about me-"
The buildings were all on hill |
facing the Potomac River, and a most
beautiful sight, on a parallel line with
the river and about 300 yards from the
old mansion, at the foot of the hill,
and under the ewes of a tract of wood
land, is the burying ground, which
President Washington selected him
self and requested he should be bur-
led there He and his wife's tomb are
not at all pretentious. The graves are
with brick building,
possibly 15x2O, inclosed on three
sides, with an iron gate for door
and protection. Their monuments are
marble slabs, sides about feet high
md covered with marble slab in the
shape of the old style coffin and bears
only their names: George Washing
on and Martha Washington.

Tensely leaning forward, the $4,000

hats are promiscuously pitched about,
perfect strangers pat other perfect
strangers on the back; and thrilled
girls shake hands with boys they never
saw before.
Meanwhile the snow comes down
softly, in a pOwdery rain, and the final
goal sees frozen hands and feet res
lively glad to race off to warm dOrmi-
tory teas, where the victory is cele-
lbrated in English breakfast, or the
defeat drowned in orange pekOe,
cakes and laughing chatter.

vOut Puritan spirit of the travellers In
the MayhOwer felt that there was
sufficient cause for thanking God.
The First Thanksgiving.
And so it was that the first day of
organized thanksgiving was set. The
whole little colony, in it's best buckled
shoes and high hats, with blunder-
busses across square shoulders, sailed
forth from the stockaded homes
through snow to the log church, there
to give community thanks for the free
dom of their stern lives.
Outside, the Indians crouched be-
hind the frs and beeches, watching
and wondering.
From the Pilgrim colony, the custom
spread to others in the New England
states. In 1880 the Massachusetts Bay
colony set aside a day for thanksgiv-
ing, and frequently thereafter, until
1850, when it became an annual festi-
val in the colony.
Connecticut appointed a day in
1859, and annually after 1647, except
in 1875. The Dutch in New Neither
lands set aside a day in 1914 and Oc-
casiOnally thereafter. During the War
Of Independence the Continental con-
gress appointed one or more thanks
giving days each year, except in 1777.
President Washington set aside Thurs
day, Nov. 26, 1889, as a day of ma
tional thanks, and again in 1895 he
called the country together for such
a celebration. President Madison, at
the close of the War of 1912, appointed
a day.
In New York state, from 1917 on,
the festival was annual.
In some of the southern states a ma
tiOnal Thanksgiving day met with op-
position as a relic of Puritanic bigOtry,
so utterly at variance with the Cav
alier ideals of the southern cOlOnists;
but by 1858 proclamations were issued
by the governors of 25 states and two
territories.
Is New England Festival.
Perhaps it is natural that the South,
so far in thought and experience from
the cOlOnizers of New England, should,
even yet, be less whole-hearted in it's
celebration of Thanksgiving than is
the eastern section of the United
States. With it's commemOration of |
of 1920, with it's ceremonies
of the harvest, Thanksgiving is essen
TALLY New England festival. And to |
see it truly carried out, you must see
it there.
In Massachusetts, it is the signal
for great family reunions. From Cali
fornia, from the high seas, from the
neighbOring town, the sons and daugh-
ters and cousins and aunts and uncles
at the old homestead on
day. With the first
snowfall of the season, generally
scheduled for the last week in Novem-
Der, the roOmy sleighs and the vast
)earskin rugs are hauled out of their
summer mOthballs; and from early
until noon, there is a gay
ingle Of sleigh bells going and coming
)etween the railroad station and the
farmhouse.
After the dinner-a tremendous af-
old people sit half doing
bout the open fires, telling stories of
he New England that is gone.
'Do you remember" says one; and
hey are off in a glorious revel of
ecollectiOn of their own youth, when
automobiles were unknown, and BOs-
on might have been 1900 instead Of
5 miles away.
The young people of the family. !

the Politicians Great Fear and the
Women's Great Chance.
Few women are acquainted with
this great advantage and those old
gamesters directing the game from
the counting room, brokers' Office and
secret councils, are not anxious that
this information be widely circulated.
It means a new day-and their pol
itical death. And a few first-class

thing. In fact, the State might sur
