Mines Bureau
Makes Report
On Dam Power
Excellent Possibilities of De-
veIoping Extensive Metal
IurgicaI and EIectro-Chenn-
ical Plants.

After the Swing-Johnson bill was
passed by Congress assuring the
building of the Black Canyon dam
on the Colorado River. the Bureau
took steps TO survey the southern
Nevada area for the purpose oil
ascertaining what the mineral pos
sibilitieS were down there. DR.. j..
Claude Jones, geClogiSt, and Jay A.
Carpenter, mining engineer, made
this survey which has just been
completed. The results indicate that
there are excellent possibilities OF
developing extensive metallurglcal
and electro-chemical plants near
Boulder Canyon when the power
from the dam is available The
fact that this power viii be very
cheap makes this proposition very
attractive to the electro-chemlcal
and metallurgical industries and in
formation which the bureau has III
hand indicates that there will be
no question but what large in
duStrieS will be created there along
these lines A Bureau OF Mines bull
letin is being prepared and will
contain complete results OF this
survey.
Early in My j. A. Fulton went
to Washington and New York 10
corfer with members Of the metal
lurgical and electro-chemical in
duStries and he found a very in
teresting situation. The electro
chemical industry is finding that
the power which they have been
using is now becoming so valuable
and that they can sell it at such
high rates that they can no longer
afford to use it as they have been
in the past, provided they can find
other sources Of cheap power and
they are therefore. intensely in
terested in this Boulder Canyon
development.
All of these activities are of major
importance to the state because it
means that probably all of the
power which will be allocated to
Nevada can be utilized within the
borders of the state; this of course
means big payrolls, large increases
in population and direct and in
direct economic benefits which at
this time are impossible to predict,
but which unquestionably will be
very great, and these facts are call
ed to the attention of the people
of the state for the purpose of in
forming them more fully as to the
situation and impressing upon them
the great importance Of the fullest
cooperation and support for the
putting over of this proposition.
A very imortant meeting was re-
Gently held in Los Angeles between
DR.. Mead and the Boulder Canyon
dam engineers, with large group
of representative Nevada men COM
posed of the following:
/ Senator TaSker l.. Oddie.
Senator Key Pittman.
( George w. Malone.
! John A. Fulton
( E. w. Clark.
. j. Kinnear
| Henry RiveS.
/ C. B. Lakenan.
Leigh Hunt.
The result OF this meeting was
very gratifying because the govern
ment authorities recognize the
great opportunity and the great
Importance that this is to Nevada
and assurance was given that Ne
vada will unquestionably get her
ALLEGATION OF power, provided Of
course she can pay for it. This
means that we must find industries
which will be established in the
Boulder Canyon area to use the

COxEY'S MARCH

Thirty five years ago today, Amer
lea, in the throes of an industrial de-
preston. witnessed the start of one
Of the strangest movements in its his
tory-the beginning of the march of
"Coxey's army" from Massillcn, O.,
to Washington.
The army" which consisted Of
some $50 men when it reached the
capital, was under the leadership of
Jacob S. Coxey, self-styled General"
He was one Of three leaders of the
unemployed who had q definite plan
of action. He was the most explicit
of all. and the other twoeKelly of
San Francisco and Fry of Los Angeles
formed similar armies" Neither of
them, however, reached Washington.
Coxey planned to lead his men into
the Capitol building and to overawe
Congress into passing q law providing
that $500,000,O00 worth of currency
be issued and spent to improve the
highways.
At the steps of the Capitol, Coxey
and his men were turned back by
police who invoked an old statute to
make the army" leave the grounds.
Coxey and one of his lieutenants were
arrested and convicted of mis-
demeanor after they attempted to
make speeches.

Daily Lenten
Thought
BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, d. D.

Editor Of The Congregationalist)
Why is It that almost everybody
thinks Of prayer In terms Of recetv-
ing or getting, and SO little In terms
Of giving?
In Paul's thought of prayer the
deepest thing was gratitude-the note
Of thankfulness for what God had
done. So it was that he burst out
into such Civilizations as, Thanks be
unto God for his unspeakable gift. "
Or in admonishing the Christians to
be careful for nothing" urged them
with thanksgiving to let their re-
quests be made known to God.
It makes very great difference
in which spirit we pray. The spirit
of those who think only Of receiving,
or the spirit Of those who have dis
covered that it is more blessed to give
than to receive. For these prayer be-
comes means of real communion
with God and q sharing Of Gods low
ing purposes.
The selfish thought Of prayer Is
that Of the spoiled child demanding
things from q reluctant and grudging
parent. Christian thought Of prayer
is that Of one who thinks Of God as
q Father Of love, willing to bestow
everything that is good. The purpose
Of those who pray in the latter spirit
is not to get things for themselves.
but to share in the plans and pur-
poses that God has for all.
We can never get the best that God
intends for US without drawing near
to the Father who intends the best
for all.

WHY BE AFRAID?

| Most people do not realize how
much their lives are controlled
through the fears they have de-
veloped. Most Of these fears are
needlessly grown through habits Of
thinking, developed from the influ-
ences Of environment. As far as we
can ascertain 1t the present. the new
born baby has only two inherited
fears: one, fear Of loud noises. and
the other q fear of falling. All other
fears are what we now know as "con-
dition" fears. and these make up 908
out Of q thousand fears we entertain,
! compared to these other two that
flesh is heir to"
What q wonderful world we would
be living in II we could all by some
magic lose these extra fears! It Is
the fear Of what you think Is going to
happen that causes the most trouble.
OF course. distressing things such as
failure, sickness, and various disasters
do occur. but the trouble is we poi
son ourselves mentally by too much
expectancy and suffer a thousand
times more than we need to.
It is wise to use judgment In de-
Gliding all Of the actions Of our lives,
but such caution should never be al
lowed to develop into fear.
I assume that most of my readers
follow this daily column because they
wish to have health more abundantly.
Most Of you realize that fear Of dis
ease is really an important factor
which also causes disease and yet
many will be surprised to know that
there are even more important fears
which affect health and leave their
unmistakable mark in physical dis
orders.
It has been found that fear of
failure is the greatest of these, and
that at least ~ per cent of those ex-
amined psychologically have this fall
ure fear. OF course, this may refer to
failure In health, or failure In busi-
ness. finances, love, success, etc.
Other important fears are fear OF
the dark, fear Of drowning. fear Of
animals, etc. Some people fear they
will be misunderstood, while others
fear they will be found out-like the
man who said he didn't mind how
many lies they told about him as long
as they didn't tell the truth.
Just how the baby Is affected by
distressing emotions, such as fear, is
still a mystery, but It appears that
with our newer discoveries about the
ductless glands we are finally on the
right track in clearing up this mys-
terry. We do not know that such
glands rs the adrenals. thyroid snd
gonads are directly and almost in
stantly affected through certain emo
tions.

quashed. Gamma Walska. wife of

The madame got quite riled when,
returning from her home in Paris
where she runs business to boot, the
customs department charged her duty
on the basis that her home was in
Chicago which was her husbands S

At that. the girls protest does sound
