SPECTACULAR FIRE
DESTROYS HUGE BARN
Harry N. Anderson Ranch
Suffers Great Loss. - No
Stock in Barn When Fire
Breaks Out.

Fire which broke out about 7:45
last evening completely destroyed
.he large dairy barn belonging to
Harry N. Anderson at his ranch
southwest of town.
A new truck, a large quantity
of tools valued at several hund-
red dollars, a supply of hay which
had been delivered Friday after
noon and a newly filled silo were
consumed by the flames in a short
time. The truck was all that was
insured. The loss will be several
thousand dollars.
Fortunately there was no stock
in the barn when the fire broke
out
Mr. Anderson had just returned
from town and, after putting the
new truck in the garage. entered
his home. When he had been in
the house about ten minutes he
hoard a call from one OF the ranch
hands and on going outside found
the east end of the structure en-
tirely enveloped in flames.
The alarm was turned in and
promptly answered by the city
fire department but, owing to the
lack of water at the ranch, the
boys were unable to extinguish the
roaring flames. The chemical
tanks of both trucks were used
but had 10 appreciaible effect on
50 large a fire The efforts of the
fire boys were of value, however
probably resulting in saving the
tlrge horse barn nearby.

DENVER CONFERENCE
/ DELAYED TWO WEEKS
Date Set For November II
To Permit Study of Power
Figures in the Meanwhile.
(Los Angeles Examiner)

recommendations have been
made to Governor George H. Dern
Of Utah, chairman, of the Gov
ernors' conference on the Colo
RADIO River problem, that the date
for reconvening the conference at
Denver be changed from November
Z to November 21.
Robert Tally of Arizona, State
Engineer George w. Malone of
Nevada md w. B. Mathews of the
California commission, sent the
recommendation by agreement af-
ter consultation by wire. The pur-
pose of the delay is to give the
Arizona, Nevada and California
Representatives more time to reach
agreement on power revenue and
water division problems.
Tally who is superintendent of
the United Verde mine at Jerome,
is in New York Mr.. Mathews
had a wire from him yesterday
morning that he could not be back
in Jerome before October 80, and
could not reach Los Angeles till
some days later His wire urged
the postponement of the Denver
conference, since there would not
be time enough left between his
arrival here, probably about No
vember to accomplish anything
before 1t would be necessary for
all delegates to leave for Denver.
Mr.. Mathews called Malone at
Carson City, and Malone agreed
that postponement was essential.
He suggested November 21 for the
date, a two-weeks postponement.

Another Strong Group of
Mining Men Enters Good
springs District. - Will
Build Mill.

Another strong group OF mining
men has entered the Goodsprings
district under the name Of the
Combination Metals Mining Co.
The company has purchased the
Hoosier group of six patented min
ing claims located west OF the
Argentina Consolidated Mining
ComPany's ground.
~ The Hoosier group has the same
geological conditions as the Ar
gentina and the Yellow Pine
mines. The ore in all of these
properties makes in the Yellow
Pine lime, or Mississippian lime
stone, q very soluble lime. The
ore occurs as a replacement in the
lime and consists of lead in the
form Of galena and zinc as Smith
sonite, with few ounces OF sill
yer.
The Hoosier has been a well
known property for term OF
years. While being worked by
leasers it produced and shipped
large quantities of very high grade
ore. 1t now has approximately
10000 tons of shipping ore de-
veloped, with large milling re-
serves.
The company is now pushing
the work of driving working
tunnel to fully develop the mine.
An air compressor has been in
stalled and approximately eight
feet of drift is completed each "a
hours.
The company will start shipping
it's select and mixed ores within
thirty days, and will construct a
mill Of ample capacity for its mill
ing ores.
Strong financial backing has
been secured to insure full de-
velopment of the property.
The officers of the Combination
Metals are w. W. Waddell, a man
of wide mining experience and
business integrity, who is presi-
dent; A. G. Thalimer, treasurer;
A. S. Henderson, secretary. The
law firm of Stevens & Henderson
in this city, represents the COM
pany and has charge of all the
records of the corporation.
Among other well known mining
operators interested in the Com
bination Metals is Thomas Thork-
ildsen, of Los Angeles, who is a
large owner in the company; and
James Mccoy, formerly head OF
the Manganese Corporation in this
city during the war days. Mr..
Mccoy was instrumental in inter
esting Mr.. Thorkildsen in the
Combination.
Among the prominent mining en-
gineers who have examined and APP
proved the Hoosier claims are z.
B. Jannings of Los Angeles, C. M.
Eokes of Salt Lake City and B.
Fl. Bradley of Los Angeles, who
has for many years been develop
ing lead properties in Mexico, for

ADD TO SHOP FORCE
Two Hundred Ton Crane To
Handle Big Engines Being
Installed. Other Improve
ments Under Way.

Tint the Union Pacific Com
pany expects to add substantially
to it's shop force in Las Vegas is
evidenced by the improvements in
the shops now under way.
With the advent of the large
locomotives now in use on the
road, the equipment of the Las
Vegas shops was found to be in
adequate FOR the necessary repair
work, and most of the work was
transferred to the new Los An
geles shops. The Los Angeles
shops 1t is understood are now
crowded with the work and the
company is taking steps to res
tore part Of the work to the Las
Vegas shops.
The excavation for the 200-ton
Whiting crane is practically com
pleted and the machinery is hers
and ready for installation.
The power house has been en-
larged by an addition 10 by Il
feet in size to provide room fol
additional electric power equip
ment.
A new 1000 horse power gener
ator driven by a General Electric
steam turbine will be installed
The equipment for this is on tbs
road and it is hoped to have it il
operation by the first of the year
Four new panels of switchboard
will be requiem. Jack Gorham Il
superintendent of construction anC
A. f. Hensler Is in charge of plan
operation.
Numerous minor improvements
are being made in and about the
shops which give reason to believe
that the number of employees will
be substantially increased during
the next few months.

CONGRESSMAN HULL
APPROVES Project
Illinois Congressman Issues
Statement Approving the
Boulder Dam After Visit
ing the Site.

Congressman William E. Huh Of
Illinois, one of the outstanding
figures in the lower house of
Congress, Is another strong ad-
vocate of the Boulder Dam pro-
ject. He was fully confirmed in
his opinions on the subject by a
visit to the dam site Wednesday
and in an interview with the Age,
expressed himself strongly in
favor of the project
Mr.. Hull is a working congress
man" He makes It his business
to see things about which he will
have to vote, and is now on his
wuy home after visiting Pearl
Harbor and other governmental
projects in the Hawaiian Islands.
He also, during the Mississippi
Valley floods, explored the whole
Of the great devastated area by
airplane.
We are authorized by Congress
man Hull to publish the following
statement on the Boulder Dam pro-
ject which will also appear in the
Chicago American:
Through the narrow channel of
the Colorado River between the
towering walls Of Black Canyon,
in which is the site of the pro-
posed Boulder Dam, an average
flow Of 21,000 second feet of water
runs, most of it to be wasted in
/ the Gulf of California. The can
yon walls are about 400 feet apart
at stream level, and upstream
lies a wide basin that will give a
+ reservoir capacity to retain all the
rivers floods. if we build Boulder
Dam at that ideal site. This
immense volume of water should
be saved and harnessed and put
to a useful purpose. This can be
done only by an act of Congress.
However, there are flood fea-
lures connected with this river
that should receive the attention
of the engineers of the United
/ States. Sixty thousasd people To-
Gated in the Imperial Valley with
their entire fortunes invested
there, are at all times in danger
of a flood that might come upon
chem just as the Mississippi
flood came upon the Mississippi
! Valley.
when the Colorado River
reaches a flow of water. exceeding
forty thousand second feet for any
extended period of time, it be-
! comes a menace, that menace
growing more acute as the flow
increases. Imperial Valley is two
hundred and fifty feet below sea
| level, and if the river should cut
/ the levees and overflow 1T would
ruin the Valley and all that Is in
it. Therefore, flood dontrol should
be considered
THE large amount of water 60
| ing / 'aste at the present time
should De utilized for irrigation,
domestic and power purposes.
This can be accomplished by the
building of the Boulder Dam. The
scheme is admitted by all en-
gineeT3 as feasible. The money to
be loaned by the United States
Government can be repaid by a
| sale of power and water. The All
! American Canal will insure those
living on this sideof the border
/ that the water will not be dissipat-
ed on Mexican soil. No harm
should be done to any state or
power interest. neither should any
state or power interest stand in
the way of building this great
project. An agreement should be
/ reached where all will receive
their proportionate benefit, but
the dnm should be built"

ZOGU. PRESIDENT OF ALBANIA
AT3O, MAN OF GREAT ENERGY
Leader of Revolution at Is Vanquished
Bolshevists and Quelled Uprising, Min
lister Faik Konitza Points Out.

Albania. in the opinion of that ma
TONS minister here, Faik Konitza, has
one of the most remarkable state eX-
ecutives now in office anywhere in the
world.
He is Ahmed Zogu, who, at the age
of 80, became the head of a govern
ment he was largely instrumental in
organizing. He is now 33. and will
still be a fairly young man when his
term as President expires, five years
hence.
President Zogu is described by Mr..
KonitZa as a man peculiarly fitted to
lead his nation toward independence
after more than 500 years of Turkish
domination. A hereditary bey-a IT,
tie he has discarded-he is one of the
few who have survived the ravages of
malaria and other diseases and re-
tanned the energy which in classic
times was attributed to Albanians gen.
orally.
At IS he was a leader in the revolu-
ton which brought freedom from Tur-
key for the first time since 1867. AT
26 he was made minister of the inte-
rior and war, and at % became prime
minister. In that office he achieved
what his predecessors had found i'm
possible - he forced the aristocratic
class to pay taxes. Although he works
IA hours a day, he takes great pleas
ure in social functions. is a patron of
the arts and recognized as the best
dressed man in Albania, and a most
desirable dancing partner by the young
women who know him.

Urgent requests for surfacing Vir'

last night at the meeting or the south

was also strongly advocated. the
association discussed the advisability
of creating a better lighting system in
that district and entered a plea for
the erection Of new lights of greater
power. The numerous accidents which
have occurred recently at Maryland
avenue and Fourteenth street were
attributed to poor lighting.

SENATE F|L|BUSTER
AIMS DISCLOSED
Reed of Pennsylvania Says
Democrats Had Combined
to Seize Control.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE rea
purpose of the closing filibuster OF
the Senate was to block a Democratic
plan to seat a sufficient number OF
Democrats in place of Republicans
who were elected by the people" to
seize control of the Senate, said Sen
ator David A. Reed, Republican, of
Pennsylvania yesterday as he sailed
for Bermuda for a three weeks vaca-
ton.
THE continuance of the Reed in
veStigating committee would simply
have had the effect of taking election
matters out of the hands of the proper
committee, which had heretofore from
the beginning handled such matters,
a committee which / have every
reason to believe will operate with no
Interior motives and will see that
Justice is done to every one" he
said.
Asked whether he believed Sen
ator-elect Ware of Pennsylvania
would be seated by the Senate, he
said:
Il think Mr. Ware will be sworn in
and seated"
He denied he was responsible for
the failure of the passage of the
deficiency appropriation bill and
public buildings bill on account of the
filibuster He said the appeals of
himself and colleagues to consider
these measures were invariably OBJ
jected to by Democrats or the So
called Progressives who were allied
with them"
