BOULDER DAM BILL
SIGNED BY COOLIDGE

Washington, Dec. 21.-The Boul-
der dam bill reposed Friday night on
the statute books of the nation-the
newest law of the land. Its long,
empestuous journey with days of fill
ibuster and all night sessions was
brought to an official end Friday,
when President Coolidge affixed his
signature to the measure.
But one step, and that embodied
in the new act, now remains to be
taken before its provisions are set
in motion for the construction Of the
highest dam ever undertaken. This
structure would be placed in the
narrow, natural gorge which the
swift Colorado river has chiseled for
itself at Black canyon, on the Ari-
zona-Nevada line.
The one step remaining to make
it effective is the ratification of the
Colorado river compact by six OF
the seven states in the river basin
Five of these states, Wyoming, New
Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and Cali
fornia, have approved the compact
which was drafted at Santa Fe, N. M
in 1922. The two remaining states
are Utah and Arizona, and ratifica-
ton by one of these is necessary.
Mr.. Coolidge signed the bill Friday
in the presence of group of those
who long have championed its cause
Among those gathered at the White
House for this final ceremony were
Senator johnson and Representative
Swing, California republicans, CO.
authors of the measure. The two
were smiling broadly as they watched
the chief executive slowly sign his
name, pausing twice as he did so tt
change pens so that three actually
we're used to complete the writing Of
his name.
1T was happy ending" were tht
words of Senator johnson in de
scribing later what took place. Ths
senator received one of the pens
Swing another, while the third is t.
become the property Of George d
Young, of the Los Angeles Herald
Examiner.
Besides Johnson and Swing, th'
group invited to the executive man
sion to watch the changing Of tn,
Swing ohnson measure from bil
to an act included Elwood Mead
commissioner of reclamation, Chair
man Smith of the house irrigation
committee and w. B. Mathews of th'
Los Angeles bureau of power an'
light. Almost before the ink ha'
dried on the new law, all repaire,
with President Coolidge to the soutl
lawn of the White House for photo
graphs.
The Boulder canyon dam act call
for the construction, at an estimate
cost of $165, 100000, of high dan
for the threefold purpose OF floo'

County Robbery Case Is
Taken to Circuit Court

Verdict of federal jury at Great
Falls Oct. "a this year, awarding
Sheridan county s101,S65.4O and in
terest in an action brought by the
county and its treasurer, Eng Tor
stenson, against the Nationa Surety
company of New York to recover on
insurance written by the company to
protect the county against loss by
robbery, has been appealed to the
United States circuit court at San
Francisco by the defense counsel.
The court action is an outgrowth
of robbery at Plentywood Nov. 30,
1926, when the county treasurer was
held up in his office and some $780,
900 in securities and cash taken from
the vault. The surety company re-
fused payment on the grounds that
insufficient proof of a robbery had
been established. The case went to
trial in the federal court at Great
Falls Oct. IT, the verdict in favor of
the county being handed down Octo-
Der "a.
Attorney John G. Brown of the
law firm of Stewart and Brown at
Helena, who with Attorney George
Hurd of the Great Falls firm of
Hurd, Hall and McCabe represented
the surety company, and Attorneys
Louis p. Donovan Of Shelby and Paul
Babcoclz, local attorney, who with
County Attorney Erickson, and As
sistant Attorney General c. N. Dav-
idson represented the county, were
in Great Falls Saturday and perfect
ed the record to be certified to the
circuit court of appeals at San Fran
cisco.
The appeal involves $116,579.25,
representing the amount due under
the insurance policy with interest at
the rate of per cent from the date
of the robbery to Oct, "a, and ST.
117.21, representing court costs, max
ing a total of S11S,696.46, according
to MIR. Brown. 1t is his opinion that
the action will be considered by the
appellate court in February or the
first part of March, 1929.
Mr.. Brown states that the record
of the case for appeal will be pre-
sented to the court as an agreed rec
ord of attorneys for the plaintiff anc
defense, which is unusual in such al
action.

President-Elect Hoover to Use
Residence of J. c. Penney at
Miami for Rest After Trip

President elect Herbert Hoover
will set up his residence for the two
months between his return from the
South American trip and March 4th,
the date of his Inauguration, in the
Belle Isle home of j. c. Penney at
Miami Beach, Florida.
Decision to use this beautiful es-
tate was reached by Laurence Rich
ey, personal representative of Mr..
Hoover, in Miami this week after an
ins pection of several estates which
had been offered. The south end of
Belle Isle will be turned over to the
Hoover party, with rooms for guests
and Accommodations for the press be-
ing furnished in the home of Joseph
H. Adams, adjacent to the Penney
property.
This will be the first time that a
republican president elect has ever
spent his pre-inauguration vacation
in the democratic south, for Florida
while carried in the republican col
umns in the presidential election, is
still democratic by large figure in
state politics.
The visit is looked upon as one OF
especial significance at the present
time. Mr. Penney is nationally
known for his interest in agriculture
and stock breeding During the
summer and late fall months of this
year he made an extended trip COW
ering fourteen states in the central
west and along the Pacific coast ex.
hibiting purebred Guernsey cattle
and talking on agricultural condi-
tions.

$1,000 which were furnished by two
Plentywood business men.

to put in appearance, and upon the
earnest plea Of attorneys represent
ing Gamers bondsmen, the case was
continued for one week in order that
they can bring the defendant into
court.
This case, when it comes up foi
trial, will attract great deal of at
tention, as O'Grady, the complaining
witness, claims he was attacked BY
Garner and another local pugilist
commonly known as "Alkali Pete
Hendricksmeir, as well as Bob Por
ter, who was trainer for Garner il
his pugilistic activities. Porter's po
lice dog also took an active part il
the scrap, and as result of it Mr.
OGrady, who is quite elderly, was
badly chewed up and since that tim,
he has practically lost his eyesight
which he claims to be the result of {
blow he received during the alterca
tion.
The other defendants in this actor
have been arrested and Furnished
bonds and upon arraignment entered
pleas of not guilty.
