COUNCIL HOLDS
TO ORIGINAL
EXTENSION PLAN
Commissioners Reject Sug-
gested Change for City
Boundary Bill Now Before
State Legislature.

The city council voted to
stand by its original proposal
for extension of the city limits
to boundaries concurrent with
those of the school district, in
its meeting Saturday night.
Suggestion from the Chamber OF
Commerce, in the form of a reso-
luton passed at last weeks meet
ing. that such great extension OF
the city limits would be. dangerous
to the reputation of the city, was
considered by the board.
The fact that the proposed change
has been presented to the legisla-
ture by Assemblyman Fanatia IN
the form Of @ bill, has passed the
second reading and has been re-
ferred to the Clark county delega-
alton, renders the problem one that
would be complicated If the council
changed it's recommendation at
this stage, it was stated today.
"The Board, after full discussion,
has decided to stand on the bill as
now introduced in the legislature
and does not desire to recommend
any change in the bill," states the
council in it's reply to the cham
ber.
"The board feels that other
parties concerned should suggest
the changes to the legislature if
they so desire"
Some sentiment in favor Of the
chambers recommendation was ex-
pressed at the meeting, it was
stated today, but this was finally
voted down.

NEVADA PLANS
FOR IRRIGATION
BEFORE SOLONS
Emergency Measure Provid-
ing for Promotion of Agri-
cultural Development Con-
sidered by Legislature.

An emergency act to pro-
mote the development and cul-
tivatiOn of the vacant arid
lands of Nevada, to provide q
market in Nevada for Boulder

In the irrigation and develop
ment of such lands, was intro
duced In the Nevada assembly
last week and, having passed
the second reading, was re-
ferred to the Committee on
Public Lands.
The bill, if passed, will require
the state engineer to report upon
the feasibility of such application
of power, and will require the state
board of agriculture to consider
and recommend a plan for the
agricultural development of such
lands.
The state board of finance also
will be required to consider and
recommend q plan for financing
agricultural projects under such
general plan of development and
cultivation.

ject tending to the development
of the general resources, welfare
and prosperity of Nevada" states
the bill, "it is hereby declared tc

policy of the state a plan for pro-
Vidins a market within the state
for the power allocated to this
state from said dam. 1t being de-
ciared hereby that Neyadas real

ment of the resources Of the state
especially It's land and water re-
sources, for the benefit of citizens

TORREON Mexico, Mar. 10, (A'j
- Having captured the rebel
stronghold at Torreon without bat
tie, the federal armies of Mexico
are pressing pursuit of the inSurg-
ents to the north.
General Gales promised a cam
paign OF determination against the
rebels q ndis organizing a strong
column to advance on Chihuahua,
now an impoltan rebel base.
General EScobar, rebel chieftain,
consolidated his position at Escalon
a hundred miles to the north and
is said to be expecting to engage
the federals IN q major battle
within "a hours.
A request for peace is reported
received by President Gil from the
rebels, but the latter's leaders deny
asking for peace. The situation
along the border is virtually un-
changed, while rebel troeps IN the
south are reported advancing once
more on Mazatlan.
WASHINGTON, Mar. -, tR -
The administration will continue
to permit rebels who may come
over the border from Mexico to

"Arizona's second contention is
that the government is assuming
sovereignty over the waters and
that the act attempts to appor-
ton the waters between the states
The terms of the bill do not 50
provide but provide ratification OF
any compact made by the three
lower basin states. The bill said to
California that she must promise
in the six state compact not to
take out more than 100000 acre
feet of water, but that amount was
not allOcated to California. Cali
fornia could refuse to agree to
those terms.
Arizona has no cause of action.
When you try to enjoin the secre-
tary Of the interior, before the
court will issue an Injunction Ar1-
zona must show that she Is ire
parably damaged, Arizona is not
hurt. She has more water left than
she can ever use.
The country seems to believe
that the act was passed subpect 70
the approval OF Arizona. This is
not surprising AS matter of fact
Arizona got into the bill every
thing she asked at the Denver
conference. 1t is immaterial whe-
ther Arizona comes in OR not,
The Nevada commissioners and
representatives by their fairness
won the confidence of all the
states. Under the six state ratifiC2-

I'VE should begin to visualize the
burdens that are to be thrown up
on us. 1t is hard to realize all that

DID YOU KNOW-that most
luxurious slip covers for formal
rooms are made from rayon dam
asks and brocaded satins, both OF
which are washable and of sturdy
wearing quality that brings them
within the first requirement for the
purpose?
We all love the chintzes and fig
ured linens. Yet there are certain
rooms wherein they do not fit, and
times when silky fabric is needed
to give a touch of richness.
When this be the requirement the
brocaded covers add great deal OF
importance to the setting and-be-
ing washable--can be used from sea-
son just as you would linen.
