GREAT BRIDGE
OVER COLORADO

SALT LAKE CITY July 70 (AP)
From the precipitous walls of
the Grand Canyon, 130 miles north
of Flagstaff, Arizona, what appears
TO be a slender spider web gradual
ly is being stretched across the
top of the great chaSm.
This web is actually a massive
structure of steel designed to be
the highest highway bridge in the
world. The height from the waters
of the Colorado river to the road
way grade is 467 feet.
Completion of the big span about
September l, and OF the approaches
about January /, 1929. will bring
into communication two vast re-
gions hitherto inaccessible to each
other except by way of a river
ferry and a dangerous strip of
mountain road.
The new route will eliminate the
historic Lees ferry, which has
been in service since 1872, six
miles above the site of the bridge,
where John Doyle Lee built cab
in and acquired the ferry rights
formerly possessed by the Mormon
church.
Lees first ferry was a clumsy
affair, the first more servicable
boat being constructed In 1873 by
John L. Blythe. This was a barge
20 by 40 feet, capable of carrying
two loaded wagons and teams.
After changing hands several
times the ferry and all rights were
acquired by Coconino county, Ari-
zona, which now operates it under
toll.
The new highway structure
opens up a region that Is little
known to tourists and in which
travel has been for the most part
limited to traders and Indians. A
strip of painted desert lies along
one side, between Flagstaff and the
bridge, and on the Utah side are
the Bryce canyon, the Kaibab
National forest, Cedar Brakes
Zion National park and the scenic
beauty of the Grand Canyon it
self.
The main span is a deck arch
of 618 feet the arch being of the
three-hinge type, with battered
trusSeS designed with reversal stres
SeS for cantilever erection. The
bridge will be 833 feet long.

ll3 DEGREES
VEGAS MAXIMUM

Las Vegas, in common with much
of the western country, has eXper-
fenced the hottest period of the
season during the past four days
The maximum here was registered
about three p. m. yesterday the gov
ernment thermometer showed lis
degrees.
The hot spell crept up on us
unawares, just when we had 1t
all figured out that We we're due
for little GOODNESS. Neverthe-
less, we all went about our ac-
cuStomed business without any IL
effects.
A gentleman from Indiana
was here Tuesday He wore a
coat and buStled about town con-
siderably greeting friends. Asked
how he liked the hot weather he
said, ut don't seem very hot, but
my, how 1 perspire!" Being infor-
med that the official thermometer
registered Ill degrees, he was as
founded. Il can't understand it,
he said, why in Indiana we just
had a hot spell and when the
temperature reached IS or 90 peo-
pie died everywhere. "
And so it is. The peculiar dry
ness of the atmosphere with its
attendant rapid evaporation keeps
the body cool.
The record heat of Las Vegas
was registered by the local wea-
ther bureau on June 80, 1909,
when the mercury stood at 116.
In the Age office all that after
noon the thermometer stood at
119, yet everything went along as
usual and nobody suffered ex-

ing how unbelieveably hot it was

cases are Frank E. Matzdorf, w.

The amount involved totaled
$205 900 90 in notes and the value
OF property involved far exceeded
this amount.
The cases first went to trial on
February 23rd, 1928, before Judge
Orr. During the trial Hon. E. S.
Harrington, Judge of the District
Court of the United States, Dis
trict of Nevada, on the oath day
of February, in the Matter of the
National Land Value Guaranty
Company, Bankrupt, in Bankruptcy
No. $50, made an order staying the
suits, whereupon the trial was at
once discontinued.
On the 23rd day of July which
was last Monday, the U. s. Dis
trict Court entered an order dis
missing the bankruptcy proceeding
and vacating the order staying
suits, and the trials were continued
before Judge Orr this morning.
Testimony shows that in Feb
ruary 1925 George B Clifford and
John L. Russell agents or the
National Land Value Guaranty
Company represented to the several
plaintiffs that the company had
already done several million dol
lars worth of business, in other
states, that the company was SOL
vent, and about TO pay dividends,
and was anxious to incorporate
under the laws of the State of Ne
vada, and TO do business in the
State of Nevada.
Evidence was presented to prove
that these agents represented to
tn plaintiffs that in order to do
this it was necessary to deposit
mortgages covering the value Of
their stock, in the office Of the
State Treasurer.
The plaintiffs were persuaded
to mortgage their real estate, with
the understanding that the mort
cages would not be used as col
lateral. but would remain on de-
post with the State Treasurer
until the end of the year period.
at which time, they were assured.
they could redeem the mortgages
upon payment OF the notes.
In consideration of the mort
cages the plaintiffs received cash,
in varying amounts, and preferred
stock in the company Plaintiffs
further testified that the agents
stated that the dividends from the
preferred stock would take care of
the interest and principal, and
that it would be unnecessary for
plaintiffs to expend any of their
own funds in meeting these OBJ
legations.
No irregularity was suspected un-
til in october. 1926. at which time
o. c. Boggs and s. R. White
