BOULDER DAM

Characterizing the Boulder Dam
project as the most constructive
legislation now before Congress,
Secretary of the interior Hubert
Work. commenting on his trip to
the scene Of tfe proposed develop
ment, declared today that the
time has now come to build the
Colorado River DAM
Secretary Work reviewed the
history of the project, which has
been laid before Congress in the
revised Swing-Johnsof1 bill, indorsed
without reservation by President
Coolidge and reported favorabiy by
the Senate Committee on Irriga-
ton and Reclamation.
THE great dam at Boulder Can
Won would protect $4,000 people
and their SEQ. 600. 900 Of property
in the Imperial Valley, guarantee
the water supply of Los Angeles
and other fast. growing communities
in the Southwest, and generate great
power for Southwestern States.
ssThis entire project" Secretary
Work said, ''llas been thought out
on the theory that, unlike money
appropriated for rivers and harbors,
it will be returned in time to the
Government and the amorttzed
plant viii then belong to the Gov
eminent as property to be dis
posed of as conditions at that time
may suggest.
IT believe the necessity for this
construction is imminent. There Is
untold wealth under the surface OF
the mountains and plains of these
adjacent States of which the
precious metals constitute the
smaller part. Man.power must be
supplemented by llydro-electric
power to extract these hidden re-
sources, in addition to an estimated
agricultural production Of $780,
O00, 00O.''
Chairman Addison I. Smith, of
the House committee, who saw
President Coolidge about the project
Yesterday and who heard the Presi-
dent s Endorsement. expects to have
his committee meet tomorrow to
take up the Swing-Johnson measure.

SAFEGUARDING
CLUE SEEN

A message received today from
the station master of the r. F.
and P. station at Lorton, Va, stat
ing that the safe in the station had
been blown last night. resulted
in the immediate dispatch by In
spector Henry G. Pratt, chief of
detectives, of three local detectives
to the scene.
The similarity of the method
used leads police of this city to
believe that the job was done
by the same bandits who Sunday
night blew the safe of James c..
Lynn, jeweler, of the Investment
Building. and stole $4,000 worth
of jewelry, and accounts for the
haste in which local police were
rushed to the scene.
Both safes were blown open with
nitroglycerin and were drilled in
the same way for the charge, it is
said. Also they occurred on sue
ceeding nights.
Detective Sweeney and Mullen.
and Sergeant Sandebrg. fingerprint
expert OF the District, were the
three who went. The latter will
attempt to obtain finger prints and
compare them with those obtained
in the jewelry robbery.
But a small amount of money
was in the railroad safe, the great.
er, portion having beeh placed in q
bank when the station was closed
