The board will be taken this after

to an inspection of the irrigation sys.
tenn lying on the Mexican side.
The duty of the board is to invest-
gate the possibilities of the storage,
control and diversion of water for pub
lie use and protection, ascertaining tnc
maximum amount available for irriga-
ton and the maximum of irrigable lane
in order to determine upon comDrC-

Fred G. Scobey, water resources on
Sineer with the division of engineering

investigations to be made here.
The irrigation potentialities III Imper-
i1l Valley are obviously dependent al
together on the Colorado river, and any

must include the Boulder Canyon dam

The bill, to be drawn by Mr.. Swing
and the delegation recently sent to
Washington by the Imperial Irrigation
District, will embody both the Boulder
dam, at an estimated cost OF $5O,0O0,-
900, and a connecting All-American
canal, at an estimated cost of $30,000,-
600, to irrigate and reclaim 100000
acres in Imperial county and in the
lCoachella valley. j. S. Nickerson, pres
ident of the Irrigation District; Elmer
Heald, American Legion representative,
and b. d. Irvine, farm bureau repre-
sentative, comprise the valley delega-
ton sent to aid Representative Swing.
Congressman Swing has gone over
the project with Secretary of Interior
A. r. Fall, Reclamation Director A. p.
Davis and Secretary of Commerce
Hoover. He bases his belief that the
bill will pass at this session of congress
on his conferences with those men, he
said.
The proposed Boulder canyon dam
will be the highest in the world, $50
feet, or fifty feet higher than the
Washington monument, and will develop
100000 primary electric horsepower,
several times as much as Muscle Shoals.
The Roosevelt dam will be entirelyi
eclipsed by the Boulder dam as an ems
gineering feat.
''There is no occasion to wait for the
commission to agree" Swing explained.
''Mv bill in no wise affects adversely
the water rights of the upstream states
on the Colorado river, which is. the chief
bone of contention of state representa-
tives on the commission. Nor are rights
conferred on said states as the result
of agreements which may be made by
the commission in the future affected
in any way. On the other hand, l trust
that my bill may have the effect of
Fastening agreement and thus prevent
the private power trust of reaching AN
agreement on their program.
Mr. Swing made public statement
issued by Secretary Hoover on his re-
turn Yesterday to Washington from his
tour with the Colorado River Commits
sion.
Addressing Congressman Lineberger
of Long Beach, California, Secretary
Hoover is quoted as saying:
"If Pacific Coast power company,
through James p Girard or anyone else,
is able to persuade the Federal Power
commission to allow it to secure per
manent permit to develop Diamond
Creek, above Boulder Canyon, l think
the time has come for me to resign as

PARIS, April Two express aif

The planes burst into flames after

passengers died without being able to

The scene of the crash was about Is
miles north of Paris, not far from the
channel.
The accident was the most terrible in
the history of the Paris London air
service, which is used extensively by
American travellers in Europe.
Officials of the company said the
London bound plane left Lebourget car
rying three passengers. The pilot was
one of the most skillful of French com
