VESTS name GOES
TO U. 5. SENATE
Coolidge upscts Predictions Despite
Talk That There Will DC Hat
tic Against Him

Washington. Dec. R-President
Coolidge upset the predictions OF
many on Capitol Hill today by send
ing to, tha senate for confornlation
the names of Roy q. West and W.T.
liam +. Whiting. secretaries OF the
interior and commerce.
When the president failed to send
these nominations up at the opening
of congress there was much con-
lecture as to whether he might al
low them to serve through the re-
mainder of his term under the re-
cess appointments given them dur
ing the summer.
A fight on MIR. West has been
forecast, based on the argument Of
some senators that he had been
connected with the insult power in
terests and that man from the lar
west should have the jon.
Mr.. Coolidge, however. passed
their names along to the senate to-
day for what action that branch OF
congress may care to take-fight OF
no fight. There has been no out
spoken opposition to Mr.. Whiting.
An indication that the fight might
develop came as soon as The senate
warned that the West nomination
was before 1t. Chairman Nye of the
public lands committee promptly
announced that West would be ask
ed to appear before that committee
to state any connections he ma;
have with the insult interests.
Certain charges have been
made" Nye said. Il have no doubt
that Mr.. West can state his position
very satisfactorily in regard to these
charges Of his connections with the
power interests, but l think In View
of the charges he should be givet
an opportunity to speak"

given attention although no buSi-
ness of Importance was transacted.
A. A. Hinman entered a protest
following the reading of the min
utes of the previous meeting. be-
cause the matter of the resolution
of the county commissioners on
Charleston Mountain road recei-
we'd from the county clerk at last
meeting was discussed in the alb
sence of himself and Robert Griff-
ith and on the further ground that
the Chamber had at a meeting
last winter declined to discuss the
Charleston Park Controversy
on the ground that it was a per-
Sonal matter.
President Martin ruled that the
protest be noted on the minutes as
requested by Mr. Hinman.
Robert Griffith, postmaster, dis
cuSSed the matter Of the 5 cent
rate for air mail postage. He also
took up the matter of the air
races. and urged the necessity of
improving the local field. He eS-
timated that there would be ap-
proximately 20 planes entered in
the International Race, Windsor
to Los Angeles, and probably as
many as rs planes in all here the
afternoon the racers arrive here.
He appointed w. E. Hawkins, j.
H. Down and w. H. Pike as
members of the committee TO as
sist in checking the planes, etc.
The matter of the Arrowhead
Highway through Arizona and
southern Utah was discussed. Pres
ident Martin expressed the belief
that every effort should be made
to induce the federal authorities
TO recognize the necessity for i'm
proving the highway through the
Arizona strip.
Robert Griffith suggested also
that the matter of further I'M
movement OF the Las VegaS-RenO
highway be pressed and suggested
an Alliance between Las Vegas,
Beatty, Goldfield, Tonopah and

maintenance on the unimproved
portions.
Mr.. Simons of Wahmonie gave
an interesting account OF the pro-
gress of that camp. In this case,
he said, the report of government
geologistS proceeded the proSpector
in guiding capital to the riches OF
the camp. In speaking of the CO.
operation given the camp by Las
Vegas he said he was pleased to
see the interest taken here and
pointed out that all the material
needed to build a city must OF
necessity come from Las Vegas.
M. L. DeJulian, a guest re
Gently from Idaho, said Las Vegas
has the best climate in the world.
Two weeks ago he was unable to
raise his hands because of rheu-
matiSm and this climate has en-
tirely cured him.
He advocated encouragement OF
the poultry industry here, stating
that conditions about Las Vegas
are ideal for it. He predicted
that we would see in the future
/ 900 prosperous chicken ranches
in this section, a matter of vast
benefit to the community.
