THE CITY OF DESTINY"

Twenty years or more back after peering into
the future and getting glimpse of the wonder
full possibilities which this section held FORTH
the Editor of the Age designated Las Vegas
The City of Destiny
Those who were far sighted could then
the wonderful undeveloped resources of land
water and mineral wealth which awaited the
touch of capital. With this, a resource beyond
price our matchless climate.
Sometimes have found the years long and
the road rough but faith never faltered and
vision Of future greatness was never obscured
Today know that the destiny of Las Vegas
is greater than our best hopes visioned. The
entry of practically unlimited capital directed by
men of ability and experience in Empire Building"
proves that Las Vegas is, indeed, "The City of
Destiny destiny of greatness beyond that
which even the most optimistic of us conceived.
Mr. ]. A. Moore, "The Empire Builder of the
Northwest, he is often called because of the
leading part he took in advancing Seattle Wash
ington, from town of 10000 to a splendid city
of 800 900, in interview today said:
you will see Las Vegas city of $4,000 people
within the next five years. whether the Boulder
Canyon bill passes this session or not. The inter
est which myself and associates are taking in
your city is not dependent in any degree upon
Boulder Canyon, although recognize that as
inevitable Whether this year or next makes but
little difference.
"You have here wonderful natural resources
which alone when developed, will warrant city
of $4,000, With my associates intend to assist
in this development. Many things will come to
pass within the future which will transform
the Las Vegas Valley into the most active and
prosperous community in the west With the addi-
tional activity which the Boulder Canyon pro-
ect will bring, the possibilities of industrial growth
are beyond our ability to picture.
LAS Vegas has farm lands unexcelled by any
in the world. Our first duty is to place them in
shape for cultivation with ample water ready
for delivery, so that settlers can begin their
work without being handicapped by lack of
capital or ignorance of conditions.
''You may say that Las Vegas will, for the
next few years, be the most prosperous and
fastest growing city in the west

GOODSPRINGS CAMP
SHOWING ACTIVITY

rectors - New Develop
Iments

That the Yellow Pine district
is facing a new, era of prosperity
is the opinion of mining men who
have been giving the mining in
tarests about Goodsprngs careful
inspection for some months past.
Following its action in taking
over the Potosi mine several
months ago, party of engineers
of the International Smelling Co..
headed by Mr.. Billingsley, Chief
geologist, has been in the dis
trict for some days sampling pro-
perties and shipping several
hundred pounds of ore for testing
purposes. The party is still in
the distrist carrying on its work.
The U. S. Smelter company al
so has recently a party in the
field headed by Mr.. Walker, and
shows live interest in the future
of the district.
The Yellow Pine Mining Co.,
is working "a force of 30 men on
development. They have recently
opened some excellent bodies of
ore in the new winze on the
old Yellow Pine ground, and the
mine is reported to be better
than at any time during the past
year
The annual meeting of stock
holders of the Yellow Pine com
pany was held January 10, the
following directors being elected 3:

There are twenty men working
on development and some excel

to have been opened up. One
tunnel through the mountain has
been completed and the second

The Singer-Tiffin property is re

FIVE ESCAPE INJURY
AS BUICK ROLLS OVER

Mr.. and Mrs. Ute V. Perkins
and 10-year old son of Overton,
A. Whitney and one other per-
son escaped injury except minor
bruises, when their Buick car
left the road near Glendale, turn
ed entirely over twice and land
ed on it's wheels with the engine
still going.
The top and tenders and two
of the wheels were broken and
constituted the extent of the
damage. The accident occurred
when the party was returning
to Overton after a visit to the
upper Moapa valley above Moapa
Two of the passengers were
thrown from the car in its ezra
tic flight, the other three re-
naming in the vehicle. All feel
that their escape from injury
was extremely fortunate.

1916 fifteen clubs were repre-
sented. A constitution was adopt
ed and arrangements made for a
convention the next year. This
convention was held at Detroit
in 1917 with So clubs taking
part. The constitution was fur
ther revised at the Providence
convention and district method
of organization provided for.
Further changes came about in
the next year. The wish or de.
sire that Kiwanis should stand
for better things began to make
itself felt. One manifestation of
this feeling was in the suggestion
made during the Birmingham con-
vention in 1919 that the motto of
the club should be changed from
We Trade to We Build This
change was made the next year
at the convention held in Port
land, Oregan, and Kiwanis be-
gan to emerge as a real orr. a.
tion for the service of : m
munity.
acter almost from the beginning
because both American and Cana.
dian clubs had been chartered
the change from the original
name of the Kiwanis club was
not made until the Denver con.
vention in 1924, at which time
the present constitution and by
laws were adopted and the name
Kiwanis International chosen.
In view of the rather close
check kept on the membership by
the International organization and
the present method of building
new clubs it may be of interest
to note in passing that for 1915
to 1919 the soliciting of new
members was a private affair
held under contract by one Allen
S. Browne. He secured his com
mission from the member and
no one had the right to secure
new members without his per
mission. Brownies contract was
bought by subscription from the
floor during the Birmingham con
vention in 1919. The donations
have since been repaid by inter
national and the organization has
since had complete control OF
it's membership.
Kiwanis really began to emerge
from the formative stage and take
it's rightful place following the
Birmingham convention in 1919
It's ideals began to crystalline
into definite detectives. The
growth was not complete and
new detectives continued to
evolve, in fact the growth of XII
wants cannot ever stop because
as new problems in our national
life appear Kiwanis. must ever
be prepared to help meet them
and aid in their solution.
The Las Vegas Kiwanis club
was organized November 2, 1925
and received its charter February
27, 1926. At the meeting held
January 10, the club celebrated
the first anniversary of its exist
,ence as an organization devoted
the service of the community and
the welfare of the world at large

STRONG PANACA TEAM
TROUNCES VEGAS BOYS
Lincoln County Quaintet
Strong Contenders for
State Tournament Honors

The Las Vegas High School
basketball team went down to
defeat last night at the hands OF
the strong Panaca quintet to the
tune of a 35-5 score. The local
boys fought hard to keep up with
their faster and heavier oppon-
ents, but were unable to break
up the strong scoring combina-
tion.
Panaca is being considered as
a likely contender for the State
Tournament honors.
At the end of the half, Referee
Al Cahlan announced the score
as 21-2, with the visitors on tha
long end. The first field goaI
for Las Vegas came in the third
quarter when John Mcdonald
sank a pretty shot into the bask
ct. The remaining points were
made by Lawrence Whiteneck or
free throws. Young Whitenecl
played a fast game throughout.
The Las Vegas team was seri
ously handicapped at the start
be the absencef rom the lineup ol
Clair Wadsworth, due to injuries
received at practice, but they
hope to give a good account Ot
themselves next week when they
will be seen in action against

Subsequently it seemed that he

Becky exclaimed. And then turning

+" Mile, in airy white, with
her soft little snowflake of

at once.
The familiar kitchen seemed to
welcome her-to twinkle at her

to crack ice and squeeze lemons
into the old glass pitcher.
You look a perfect sight" she
told her reflection in the mirror
over the sink. But what's the
difference. John Nye doesn't
know you're on earth tonight"
Mile was perched on the arm
of John Nyes chair when she re.

had held out his five-dolIar fee
to him.
He guessed more about her
than she knew.
Once in his life, at least, every
man makes fool of himself over
woman.
And that was exactly what
John Nye was doing over Little
Milly Jerome.
Sally knew it the minute she
saw them enter the flat together
that Saturday night.
She had been nodding over her
mending basket and had not
heard them come UP the stairs
and unlock the door. But sud-
denly they were in the room with

were the only thing in the world

Her heart seemed to give a
great throb in her breast and then
stand still, as she caught that
glance. But she gave no outward
sign of what she felt.

said, looking at them both with
her natural sweetness of express

not one minute sooner!"
There was long silence, broken
by the drowsy buzz OF fly above
the sunny table and the distant
sound of church bells.
Beau got up abruptly and went
out of the room.
His voice came hack to them,
sharp and strained. "Oh, my Lord,
wish you'd stop talking about
money! If you don't I'm going to
go crazy"
Millie stared at Sally in aston
ishment. well, now what's the
meaning of that!' she gasped.
Has he lost his blooming mind?"
Sally shook her head. She had
seen the look of anxiety on Beau's
face. and she knew that he "hadn't
lost his blooming mind" but was
only at his wits end about some
thing About money, of
course.
Money and 1ove-they were the
only things that really mattered
to people. weren't they?
Money--and love. She thought
of John Nye and Mile and her
self. The three of them.
CHAPTER XVI
AS the days went by Sally
actually began to get thinner.
Like some clinging-vine
heroine of an old-fashioned novel;
she told herself with hot self
disgust the day she discovered
that she had lost two pounds
in a week.

before that a sane and sensible
girl could lose both flesh and
sleep over a man she would have

On the other hand Millie
bloomed like a June rose all dur

Part of her bloom was due to
Sally, who kept her clothes crisp
and sweet-smelling in their clean
illness, and helped her to wash
her yellow hair twice a week.
