EMERSON SAYS
DELAY DESIRED
ON BOULDER DAM
Wyoming Governor Joins
Utah Executive in Urg-
ing POstpOnement.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Gov-
ernor Frank f. Emerson of Wyom-
ing believes the seven states involv-
ed in the Boulder Dam project can
reach an agreement within a year
and that federal legislation should
be delayed until they do, he testi-
fled today before the senate irriga-
tiOn and reclamation committee.
"We are on the crest of a wave
looking to ratification of seven
state pact,n he said. "Great prog
ress has been made during the last
year and / believe another year will
see the agreement consummated.'
States which will benefit by wa
ter and power in irrigation provid
ed by the development so far have
been unable to agree on apportion-
ment. Six of the states have rati-
fled an agreement but one has re-
fused to do so on the ground it is
not receiving a fair share of the
water and power rights.
Ratification of the six state
pact is a poor substitute for unani-
nOuS agreement, HltIsou odlu'
"Unanimity is necessary to prevent
litigation and delay after the prof.
ect is adopted by congress-
l.. Ward Bannister, special water
attorney for Denver, urged the con-
struction of the dam be started on
the basis of the six state pact. He
said this agreement gives ample pro-
lection to the states.
George Malone, Nevada State en-
gineer, discussed engineering aspects
of the project when the committee
resumed its hearing this afternoon.
He estimated nine years would be
required for the dam to operate
profitably. -.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20-"Boul-
der Dam is solely a power project,
not intended for flood control or
navigation, H. S. McCluskey, Ari-
zona industrial commissioner, testi-
fled today before the senate irriga-
ton and reclamation committee.
The federal government, he said,
has no right to build a dam for
generation of power without con
sent of the states involved. Ari.
zona has refused to give its consent
on the ground California will reap
more than a fair share of the bene.

The Terror Is
Arcadia's First
'Ta!kie' Picture

"The Terror" acknowledged to be
the most thrilling and at the anne
time the most amusing Of all crook
plays, has been selected for the Ar
cadia's first talking picture. 1t will
be presented at the Harilngen thea
ter with sound accompaniment be-
ginning Sunday and continuing thru
three days.
The locale is a dilapidated Eng
lish manor house, supposed to hide
both the loot OF a recent bank rob-
berry and the looter. Crooks of va
rious sorts, frightened and spiritual
istic ladies'. cops and what not, come
to the old house-where all are kept
in chattering fear by o. hidden and
mysterious monster who is forever
committing some deed or other TO
put the already ragged nerves Of the
household in a state Of collapse. The
whole atmosphere of "The Terro~"
is English, thus making it altogeth-
er different from any play seen on
the screen here.
THE Terror" was adapted by Har-
vey Gates from the phenomenally
successful London play by Edgar
Wallace. It presents a foreign YER
sion Of the intrusion Of the lawless
into society which both in setting
and action is distinctly unlike the
American crook play.
"The Terror" is played by an all
star cast, including May McAvoy,
Louise Fazenda, Edward Everett
Horton, Mathew Betx, Alec B. Fran
els, Holmes Herbert, john MILAN.

Pessimistic And
Bachelor Fails
To Halt Romance

Women have a wonderful way of
working. First, they wait on you
hand and foot, then they catch you
In q weakened condition and pounce
on you! After that your soul isn't
your o~wn-you're married."
That's the philosophy OF Bache-
Tor Joe, the pessimistie member Of
the trio into whose mining town
Shanty Steve, the youngest, has
brought an orphan for shelter. The
warning puts Steve on his guard
but rebuffing Mary is like slapping
a laughing child in the face and he
soon has to admit that she has
found her way into his heart.
Thus starts the love story of "The
Toilers," which soon, however,
strikes q desperate, terrifying note
when an accident in the coal mae
buries Steve during days and nights
Of desperate anxiety and feverish
rescue work.
Reginald Barker directed "The
Toilers," which Tiffany-Stahl has
honored by calling a Reginald p-r-
ker Special Production. The leading
roles r portrayed by Douglas
Fairbanks, Jr., Jobyna Ralston, Har-
vey Clark and Wade Boteler. L. G.
Rigby's original story furnished
the plot. 1t is the feature attrac-
tion for today at the Dittmann
theater.

Big Grove Lutheran
Church Badly Damaged
Storm Blows Out Windows and
Part of South Wall; Chimney
Goes Through Roof

A severe wind and rain storm
passing over this section Wednes-
day afternoon, apparently taking
on tornado proportions in spots
did serious damage to the $35, 900
Norwegian Lutheran church in
North Fork township. The extent
of the damage to the building in
dollars and cents could not be de-
fnitely estimated this Thursday
morning, but the amount will run
into thousands of dollars. -
Coming from the northwest, the
wind had apparently first blown in
two windows on the north side of
the building. This resulted in un-
due pressure on the opposite wall
and large arched window on the
south side went out, and with it : a
portion extending to the roof. The
wall was cracked all the way down
on one side of this window and a
large part of it will very likely have
to be rebuilt. The chimney on the
north side toppled over, the bricks
crashing through the roof, which
had just recently been recovered
with composition shingles of slate
and asbestos at a cost of 100000.
Inside of the church the fine
pipe organ was intact and save for
scratches and water damage to sew
eral pews and the altar rail, no
further loss was evident. The
congregation carried a wind and
cyclone insurance policy of SILL
10000.
This is the second time that the
Big Grove congregation has suf-
fered loss through the elements. On
July 4, 1913, the Big Grove church
was completely destroyed by a cy-
clone. Two days later the congre-
cation held a meeting and decided
to rebuild, and the present struc-
ture was the result. The corner
stone of this church was laid July
4, 1914. The building is of brick
and is 90x40x44 feet, with aud
itorium space Of 56x4O feet. AS
previously intimated it is equipped
with fine pipe organ, and a year
ago an electric lighting plant was
installed. .<
Other storm damage as so far
reported included demolished silo
and a twisted barn on the Art
Solseth farm, north of Brooten,
and a fiattened windmill on the
