Mr., Denison of Illinois, from the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, addressed the House the
other day in favor of remaining the
Green river in Colorado and Utah to
conform with the name Of the lower
reaches of the same watereourse
which is the Colorado river. The fact
was brought out that the discoverers
of what was named the Green river
did not know that it was the upper
portion of the Rio Colorado. Mr.. Deni-
son spoke in behalf of Mr.. Taylor of
Colorado, who introduced the renam-
ing bill in the Sixty-sixth Congress
He did not claim to have personal
knowledge of the situation, but he was
in favor of the measure because Mr..
Taylor (who lives at Colorado
Springs) had assured INN It was all
right

Entertainments Of
LAST NIGHT ENJOYED

Several rather sleepy looking citi-
zens may be seen this morning fol-
lowing the round of pleasure last
night. Many attended all three at
fractions of the evening. First came
the grammar school play at the Nixon.
which was thoroughly enjoyed by all
who attended: approximately 500 in
all The costumes were beautiful and
the program one exhibiting unusual
training and practice. There were
songs, tableaux, drills. dancing. and
many other features that brought out
some real talent In the little folk, and
the whole affair will long be remem
bered as an unusual entertainment.
Much of the credit for the extensive
program, in which $50 children ap-
peared, goes to the grammer school
teachers, who have spent a great deal
of time and effort in the training of
those taking part.
Next came the lecture at the Chau-
tauqua tent by Steffansson, the noted
Arctic explorer. who told of his trip
to the north pole. He exploded some
theories of the frozen north" as
taught by school books and showed
that temperatures in parts of the
United States and Canada are even
more severe in winter than that of
the north pole region. He rather dis
appointed some of his audience by not
telling more of his own personal ex-
periences, instead of delving into the
scientific study involved. However
his talk was intensely interesting and
people left the tent with knowledge
they had not dreamed of before. The
logical conclusion of listeners was
that the lecture was spoiled by Stef-
fansson's modesty, but he explained
that away by saying people have been
laboring under dilusion concerning
the north, and as much as he would
like to appear as hero, facts and a
desire for truth forced him to relate
conditions as they really are. In spite
of this statement, he told of entering
territories that all others considered
certain suicide, and that in itself
makes him a hero in the same sense
that Columbus was hero when he
dared to prove the world round.
Then came the high school dance at
the high school auditorium. The hall,
which was beautifully decorated in
the senior class colors, old rose and
silver. made very attractive spot.
Music was furnished by Evans or
chestra and a large number was in
attendance Dancing lasted until a
late hour.

bandits. supposedly, had cut the tele-
phone wires at the Buffalo ranch and
again at the Rattlesnake ranch. near
McDermitt, and had entered conversa-
ton with an autoist near McDermitt.
This man told of two men being in an
Essex car and described one of them
as being large and dark complexioned
While the other was small of stature
and of light complexion
These descriptions, Lamb says. tally
with those of the men who shot Sher-
In Smith of Fallon a few days ago
while endeayoring to escape in
stolen automobile, and also with de-
scriptions of two men who drove a
stolen car into this city from Nampa,
Idaho, recently, escaping by abandon
ing the car here. Shoe tracks left by
the men also correspond with those
made by the Nampa and Fallon ban
dts.
j. o. Davis. lineman for the Bel
Telephone Company, who went out to
repair damage done by the bandits to
telephone wires of the company, re-
turned last night. He reports that not
only were the wires cut at Amos and
near McDermitt. In several places, but
wires of ranch phones were cut. He
brought in several pieces of wire
where cut and it shows plainly that
an axe or hatchet was used for the
operation. Davis was unable to COM
plete his work because the robbers
had taken lengths of the wire with
them, to delay repair, and Davis hat
not taken sufficient wire with him t.
splice the frequent cuts.
Davis understood that the two men
in the Essex did not stop to talk to
a McDermitt man, but instead took the
wrong road and In returning waved
to the man. He says the car wa:
driven through McDermitt at forty
miles an hour.
No word had been received direc
from Brady's party yesterday, BY
Lamb, though private wire was filed
at Nampa at o'clock yesterday
morning. Some alarm was felt be
cause of the long silence Of Brady
when a telegram was received by The
Silver State from the Leader Herald
published at Nampa, Idaho, asking for
a report on the shooting of sheriff
by auto bandits" No word having
been received from Brady, it was at
first thought the telegram had to do
with a possible exchange of shots be-
tween Brady's party and the bandits.
Later it was decided the Idaho paper
had been advised of rumors of the
shooting of a sheriff and wanted in
formation concerning the shooting of
Sheriff Smith of Fallon. AS fairly
indicative of the history of the case,
the wire to the Leader-Herald is here
reproduced:
Bandits stole Auburn automobile at
Nampa, Idaho, about May 10, robbed
store and Standard Oil station at
Crane, Oregon, escaping in Winnie
mucca by abandoning car. Stole sec
ond auto at Fallon, June 2, became
mired in mud and shot Sheriff Smith
of Churchill county from ambush
Though his shoulder is shattered,
Sheriff Smith will recover. Bandits
stole Essex roadster here Wednesday
night, going north through McDermitt

ut Boise. Idaho. and means that the

Ing. II is probable they will reach
McDermitt tonight and will arrive in

barring delay.
So far no news has been received
here concerning the possible recovery
of the Essex or capture Of the two
men who took II. who are also be-
lieved TO have been the men who shot
Sheriff Smith OF Fallon while endea-
yoring to escape with a stolen auto
mobile. and also the two men who
escaped here after having stolen an
automobile at Nampa. Idaho, and
broken into store at Crane. Oregon.
While of course 1t is not yet known
here what success Brady's party had
in the capture OF the bandits or re-
covery of the car. 1t is supposed that
the bandits made good their escape
and that the car has not been recoy-
cred, else the telegram woiild have so
advised. 1t is also supposed that If
the bandits were enabled to get
through Nampa and Boise. capture
would become increasingly difficult.
There is however. a possibility that
the car was abandoned somewhere
and will be recovered. because the
thieves must know that with all the
wire cutting their general direction Is
known and descriptions Of the car
would be wired ahead.
Chief OF Police Lamb today reiter-
ated that 1t is his opinion, formed by
consideration of all available facts,
that the two men are the same who
shot Sheriff Smith of Fallon and who,
prior to that. had abandoned the
Nampa car In this city. He is also OF
opinion the fugitives know the coun-
try well.

Mr.. Arentz of Nevada interrupted
the speaker to ask: HAS the gentle
man ever heard of the League Of the
Southwest" Mr.. Denison had not
heard of the league. Mr.. Arentz said:
1.-The League of the Southwest, l may
say, is an organization of the Western
States which has to do with the de-
velopment of the Colorado river, and
while we were on that subject I
thought I might mention it. The
League of the Southwest contemplates
the ultimate construction at Boulder
Canyon, in the Colorado river near
Las Vegas, of a 700-foot dam, witch
would make possible the irrigation Of
approximately 100000 acres ir Ari-
zona and Nevada and develop suffi-
cient power to electrify the Santa Fe
and Salt Lake routes for several hun
dred miles, and to make Los Angeles
and other points in Southern Califor-
mia, as we'll as Southern Nevada, in
dustrial centers."
