Obstacles Face
Hoover I'm Army
Cost Cut Plan

WASHINGTON, July 29-U.R)-
President Hoover encountered OBJ
stacles in his search for ways OF re-
ducing army costs at a weekend
conference in his Virginia camp
with Secretary of War Good and
other war department and army Of
ficials.
That developed today when Good,
on his return here, said he does not
yet know where reduction can be
made though he is hopeful of find
ing ways to retrench. He answered
in the negative a number OF IN
quirieS about possible abolition OF
various agencies, such as the cav
airy, coast artillery and civilian
components, where it had been
thought reduction might be made.
No new agency such as airplanes
and tanks have wholly dlSplaceo
other agencies, such as the cavalry,
he said.
The President it also developed
has changed his plans of having his
appointed officers com
missioned to investigate the subject
of reduction as the result of the
week end conference. Good sale

RAILS AND TIES
Assembling of Materials in Las Vegas Yards
Indicates Approaching Railroad
Construction
Plans for Enlarging Las Vegas Yards and
Building New Station Also Require
Much Material

tor will require several miles Of
trackage also.
The remodeling and enlarging of
the Las Vegas yards planned to be
coincident with the construction Of
the proposed new passenger sta
ton, will also require several miles
of rails and ties.
Under the new arrangements, the
main line passenger tracks will
come in from the south on the east
side of the ice plant of the p. F. E.
Co., and all the space between Main
street and the present main line
tracks, except that occupied by the
new station, will be devoted to new
SidingS.
This improvement is not entirely
incidental to Boulder Dam con-
struction but will be required in the
near future because of the large in
crease in traffic which the Union
Pacific has experienced during the
past year or two.
The Union Pacific Company is
setting an example which should be
followed by every citizen of Las
Vegas-getting ready. If Las We
gas people would profit to the full
extent by the great events which
impend, they should place them
selves now m a position of readi-
ness.

Mention has been made from time
to time of the fact that the Union
Pacific is assembling considerable
quantities of railroad ties and steel
rails in Las Vegas.
The movement. which began over
a month ago, is still in progress I'M
til today there are stored at point
south of the ice plant on the rail-
road grounds, enough ties and rails
for the construction of approx
mately 40 miles of trackage.
Although the company officials
are unable as yet to officially con-
firm the report that these vast
quantities Of track materials are to
be used in the construction of the
Boulder Dam branch railroad, the
assumption is made iii railroad cir

YELLOW PINE PUSHING
CONSTRUCTION OF MILL
Twenty five Men Now on Construction Work;
Custom Mill and Zinc Oxide Plans Under
Consideration by Company Officials.

GOODSPRINGS, July 29.-(Spe
ciaD men are now
busy in the construction of the new
yellow Pine mill and flotation
plant. Blasting for the foundation
is well under way and the entire
work will be pushed, according to
Jess Knight, president of the Yel-'
low Pine Mining Company.
Machinery is now on the way for
a flotation plant of the very latest
design for the treatment of the ores
and plans are under way also for
handling custom ores.
High grade mixed ores may be
shipped as heretofore, but with the
new plant it is expected that much
greater saving of values will be
made than heretofore.
The company, according to PreSi-
dent Jess Knight, also is investigat-
ing the feasibility of the manufac-
ture of zinc oxide.
Morris 3. Kirk, engine ar and min
eralogiSt. who was connected with
the yellow Pine Company some
years ago is now carrying on expert
mentS for the company at Harbol
City. Cal, for the production ol
zinc oxide. The plans contemplate
using either oil or coke as fue
and if the experiments now being
! carried out are successful it will bt
possible to profitably produce zinc

One Province

PEIPING, China, July 29.-U,P)-
The international famine relief COM
mission asserted tonight that %
foreign missionaries have died in
the Kansu province in the last six
weeks and that an estimated total
of 40.000.OO0 persons were on the
verge of starvation in the whole OF
China.
The missionaries and. priests. all
of whom were Americans. British or
French, died of typhus
The report said that cannibalism
is rampant in Kansu province,
which has suffered probably most
severely in the famine Shensi prov
ince reports have been virtually as
terrible as those from Kansu
All famine relief Investigators
have agreed that this years famine
is worse than any other such dis
aster in the last century. An i'm
mense area is afflicted by crop
shortage due to drouth, grasshop
pers, depredationS of bandits and
undiSciplined soldiers.
The mission boards report sew
eral of their workers, both Chinese
and foreigners, have literally lost
their minds because of the dreadful
conditions.
The mission compounds, report
says, have often been surrounded by
hundreds of dying persons who
have cried feebly for food, which
the missions were unable to sup
ply.
