ROTARY CLUB SCANS
POLITICAL HORIZON

The pros and cons of the ma
tional political situation, and the
various possibilities for president
ial timber in both parties we're
brought out in a talk given by
Prof. Raby J. Newton before the
local Rotary Club at their regular
Thursday luncheon. Prof. Newton
was program chairman, and be
sides his very interesting political
resume, presented Miss Louise
Grove in two recitations which
were thoroughly enjoyed by the
members. Howard McMullen was
boy guest of honor and pleased
the brethren with a neat little
talk.
Under the head OF business the
University situation was thorough
ly discussed, and It was the
unanimous vote Of the Club that a
resolution be drafted and adopted
asking that the Board of Regents
refrain from taking any summary
Sction which would result in the
dismissal or resignation OF Dr..
Clark as president of he Universi-
ty. 1t being the opinion of those
present that such action would
tend to disrupt the University and
that the good of the institution
.hould be considered prior - any
personal animosities.

NEW OUTLOOK FOR
HOTEL Project
MORE FAVORABLE
Cleveland Capitalists May
Take Over Hotel Project
Under New Plan.

Renewed interest has been breath
ed INTO the Las Vegas tourist hotel
project during the past week
or two, and although develop
ments are still very much in the
indefinite stage, the outlook In
most encouraging. Wealthy CioVe-
land men have become much n-
terested IN the construction OF q
tourist hotel near Las Vegas. and
while the plan differs somewhat
from that originally foetered, the
new scheme is considered by many
as preferable to the old.
The plan now being considered
involves the donation of the tract
on which it was first planned to
build the hotel, but the hotel IT.
self is to be built some place on
the desert within a very few miles
OF Las Vegas. When carefully
considered it would appear that q
hotel of this character would he
much more likely to succeed under
this plan, than il built within the
city limits The wealthy people
who would patrontze a hostelry Of
this sort would be more attracted
If it were located in the middle OF
the desert, as Is Palm Springs,
than in the middle of small city.
The tract of land donated to the
capitalists would be theirs to de-
velop as they saw fit, and this
development would no doubt be Of
the sort that would increase con-
siderably the value OF all sur
rounding property.
The men interested in the re-
yived project have just made a
trip to Palm Springs, and Stnce
visiting that famous resort, they
are more than ever OF the opinion
that a similar hotel here should
succeed beyond any expectations.
The construction of such q hotel
Is Of prime Importance to every
property owner and strenuous ef-
tort should be made to comply
with all reasonable delands II the
promoters are in as good faith as
at present appears.

,oked black for the Vegas bunch.
Throws that should have added to

around the basket and out. When
he third quarter was started the
ocal five had better luck and
steadily gained on the visitors
shooting the field goal that tied
the score shortly before the las
lalf ended. The score was 20 K
%.
The extra period started with
rush, Cahente adding two to theil
score in the first minuet while
Vegas made a field goal just be
ore the whistle blew.
The second extra five minutes
was a duplicate OF the first, each
team scoring, making a tie OF "a
to "a.
In the third extra period the We
gas team went off with a rush and
took the game making three field
goals while the Caliente team was
shut out.
The entire game was fast and
exciting and, while 1t was rough
at times, both teams displayed ex'
cellent sportsmanship.
The preliminary game was play
ell between the high school girls
and the town girls, the former
taking the big end OF a Al to 1S
score.
