 There had been considerable shift ing of sentiment within the preced- ing 24 hours. There had been a prom ise of stirring fight, and it was pre- dicted by the more nervous that the open meeting would be of such a char acter that the casual onlooker might mistake it for a Democratic gathering
 The contest was between Andrew Baumert. Jr., and United States Sen ator-elect Ralph Cameron for the ma tional committeemanship. on Satur- day night friends of MT. Baumert agreed that there was nothing to it; that the only thing the committee in open session would have to do would be 10 ratify the wishes of a very large majority of its members
 But IL appeared that the actual count of noses was not begun with great attention to accuracy until Sun day morning. after which the friends ol MT Cameron were prepared to an hoance that they were sure of at least 91 members Of the committee.
 1t was stated that several telegrams mad been received from Mr. Cameron who, though not insisting upon his own election. desired that the na tionai committeeman should be one who would work harmoniousIv with him. Considering the feeling that had been wrought up between the more prominent adherents of Mir Cameron and the state organization. that was q pretty large order. Mir. Cameron him. self would have been more acceptabls 10 the organization than any Of his followers of sufficient stature for the job

PROJECT
Director of Federal Recla.
nation Service Talks at Ir-
rigatiOn Meeting on Pro-
posed Colorado River Con-
servatiOn Plant.

The only obstacle which Director
General Arthur P. Davis of the United
States reclamation service expects the
Boulder Canyon dam project will en-
counter is from the Mexican govern
ment, he told the directors of the I'M
perial Irrigation district this morning
in the course of discussion Of the
immense project, which he pronounced
feasible in it's entirety.
He amplified the statement regard
ing the Mexican government however,
by stating that it was his belief that
the owners of lands in Lower Califor-
mia have assured him that they will be
ready when the time comes to do their
part in making thu storage project
possible.
A multitude of details of the inves-
tigation in Boulder Canyon were given
by Mr.. Davis, including the latest
available figures, compiled by the en-
gineers in charge of the work who es-
innate that the total cost of the pro-
ject, exclusive of the power develop
uent, will be about $54, 900. 900, with
the power work roughly figured at an
additional .$16,O0O,OOO. The present
figures show the proposed dam to be
approximately 700 feet high, $50 feet
of which will be above the low water
level of the Colorado river. The max
imum capacity of the reseryoir would
be 26,500.O00 acre feet, with a pres
sure of 81 tons per square foot on the
big dam which would contain 100000
c,,hic I'd of ocouru
Seventy per cent of the cost of the
construction work should be borne by
the power interests. Mr.. Davis init
mated, the other 80 per cent being
borne by the lands benefited by the
irrigation water and flood protection,
the latter in proportion to the amount
of benefits derived. He anticiuates
that commission of perhaps three
men will be appointed By the secretary
of the interior to adjudicate the ques-
tiOn of cost apportionment and other
questions along that line.
Investigations have shown that bed
rock in the bed of the river is suffi-
ciently solid to bear the weight of the
heavy dam structure, Mr.. Davis stated
but in the side drift the borings have
shown the rock only about 200 feet IN
thickness, which is not considered suf-
ficient to serve as buttress for the
dam. Other drilling is now under way
in other places on the canyon walls to
determine the strength Of the bedrock,
which Mr.. Davis is confident will prove
great enough to hold the side pressure.
When the subject of the Southern
Co1 W.,
tion for power permit at Lees Ferry,
Arizona, was brought up Mr.. Davis
said that he did not believe that such
a project would in any way interfere
with the Boulder Canyon project, but
he did believe it would be of material
aid to the latter on account of the par
tial control of the river which would
be necessary at the upper dam. which
would also serve in a large way toward
deslting the water.

COYOTE WELLS
MARBLE QUARRY
TO Be OPENED
IneThdustible Deposits of High
Grade Hard Limestone to BE
Worked by San Diego Com
UUNH.

What promises to be an important
addition to Imperial Valleys growing
list of industries is the prospective
opening within the next few weeks of
a marble quarry in the foothills near
Coyote Wells.
The Southern California Marble and
Development company is the owner of
440 acres within six miles of the line
of the San Diego & Arizona railroad,
and the tract holds an extensive
marble deposit as we'll as huge de-
posits of silica sand.
The marble deposit is mountain
in size and contains millions of feet
of what is termed by S. S. Stratton,
director of the U. S. department of
commerce bureau of standards, a
marble that compares favorably with
previous tests of samples of Tennessee
marble and the absorption test of the
Imperial Valley marble shows that it
is less permeable than the Tennessee
marble.
H. j. Russell, an expert engineer in
quarry work, has just completed an
inspection of the property and makes
the following statement:
The outcrops are immense bodies
of calcite and dolomite, reaching to a
height of $50 to 200 feet above the
base of the exposure from 100 to 500
or more feet in width and between 500
and 1900 feet in lerl-th. 1t is impos-
slble to ascertain or estimate accu-
rateiy the depth of the marble deposit
beneath the surface. / estimate it at
several million cubic feet and the sup
ply seems inexhaustible."
According to the plans of the di-
rectors, actual work will be started
at the quarries within a short time.
A spur track is planned to connect
with the railroad.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE AM

fight in the Sixty-seventh congress to
obtain vocational education for widow
and orphans of men killed in France,
according to John Thomas Taylor, vice
chairman of the Legion's national leg

Vocational education for widows and
orphans of all eX-service men who died
overseas during the war was provided
in the Kenyon bill passed by the Unit

congress. The same bill. introduced
by Representative Fess of Ohio in the
house did not pass, but was favorably
reported by the house committee on
education, with, however, the provision
for vocational education for widows
and orphans stricken out. Senator
Kenyon has reintroduced his bill. with
the widow and orphan education fea-
ture included; the American Legion is
backing the Kenyon bill.
There are approximately $4,000
widows and $4,000 orphans of Ameri-
cas- war dead. If the government were
to provide vocational education for all
of them, the cost would De 1922, 900 900

the problems offered here, where ali
the land depends upon the water from
the Colorado river. When this data
is gathered. it will be taken to Mexico
