PATIENT WONDERS
NOW WHY HE MADE
HOSPITAL ESCAPE

It's no crime to escape from
a hospital when one is not
even confined there, says DR..
F. M. Ferguson.
Nevertheless such an escape
brought about a furry of ex-
citement on Fremont street
yesterday when man report
ed to have crawled out of a
hospital window in sGq.e of
undress was captured" by the
police at the j. c. Penney
store and taken back to the
hospital.
The patient, who cannot
now explain his unusual ac-
tions, went to the telegraph
office and sent a perfectly ra-
tional telegram to his wife,
and then went to the store.
The report that he was in a
state of undreSs was exagger-
ated, it seer>s, for, officers say.
all he lacked was a dress shirt

VEGAS FUTURE
ASSURED, SAYS
ENGINEER HERE
Coming of industry Follow
ing Dam Construction As
sured, Says Engineer Who
Represents Huge Chemical
Interests.

LAS Vegaiis need have no wor-
ries about the future Of this city,
says Letson Ballet of Tonopah,
here as consulting engineer for
some of the largest financial in
terests in the country, which are
connected with the Allied Chemical
industries.
Mr.. Ballet represents chemical
products manufacturers with capi-
talizations running into the mil
lions of dollars, and is collecting
data which will have bearing upon
the establishment Of extensive
chemical industries in and around
Las Vegas with the bringing OF
cheaper power here as result of
the construction Of Boulder Dam.
Industry Follows Power
There may be delays and pes
simistic remarks, but no one can
take the Colorado River away from
you. The progress Of modern In
dustry and the march Of civiliz-
alton will not allow the hundreds
Of thousands, snd even millions
Of horsepower available from that
river to go embarrassed into the
Pacific. Such waste Is too great
to be permitted much longer.
Industry follows the power
Money is available for industry
where power Is abundant. You car
put this statement in the corner
stones of the buildings-bury 1t ir
tin cans in the concrete walls that
you build this year, and when they
are torn down to be replaced with
Skyscrapers of a modern manu-
featuring city, you'll find them.
Cites Niagara
you have but to look at the
enormous industrial and chemical
plants that have grown around the
Niagara Falls electric plants to see
what can be expected Of Las Vegas
and many raw materials that
are shipped to Niagara are close
at hand or Las Vegas power.
The increase of population is
fast building up western popula-
ton and demand. Power will bring
capital and workers.
Scouts are already trying to find
routes to bring the Western Pa
cific into Las Vegas by way OF
Ely, to bring the copper here to
electric furnaces.
"The Southern Pacific is scout
ing for an inlet-not just for the
construction period. but because in
dustry will grow where power is
abundant.
"Ill be back here five weeks
from now," said Ballet.

boat WITH EAdie MaCkey Sat-
urday sweating.
Colina worked ct Ace Hudkins'
training quarters yesterday after
noon. The clever Mexican exper-
fenced o little trouble In the first
rounds Of his work when he was
affected By the high altitude. but
soon overcame the difficulty IN the
remaining rounds and speeded up
during the closing rounds.
Mackey gave the fans something
to talk about when he worked six
fast rounds Immediately after Col
ina had finished. Mackey Is a
short, blonde-haire fellow who
displayed Q terrific Left hook and
appears to have q world Of endur-
aIsce.
Fase On Feet
Eddie Is confident he can cope
with the Los Angeleecontender
He has sought q bout with Colima,
but the match was never made
until Tommy Mcfarland brought
the pair together. Mackey Is fast

Swinging Fighter
Whatever way Saturday even
ing's battle goes, the fans will be
guaranteed a run for their money
Mackey is the swinging type OF

dynamite. If he happens to clip
Colima on the whiskerS with one
of those wild swings he may send
himself right up among the lead
ing middleweights of the country
Bert has a world of speed and
is said to be one of the most col
orful fighters in the game today.
Coupled with his boxing skill he
has a world of speed and the
ability to spin his opponents
around so fast that they are be-
wildered. Colima is a good punch
er with a left hook and has scored
almost all Of his knockouts with
this punch.
The semi -windup between Ver-

ALBUQUERQUE, Mar. I,
(SpeciaD-Her position streng-
thened by the completion of
the six-s!ate ratification by
Utah yesterday, California to-
day placed before the Colorado
River Conference her reply to
Arizona's proposals.
Briefly, California is willing TO
compact in accordance with the
terms of the Boulder Dam bill, and
objects to changes requiring con-
greSsional amendments. but will
concede a /iarg1 of one dollar per
arce foot on domestic water for
coastal cities, instead of two dol
lars as demanded by Arizona.
Nevada and California would
prefer to bring Arizona into seven
state agreement if possible, but
Arizona has previously declared
she will not compact except upon
terms offering substantially more
than she would receive under the
bill.
Arizona promises to reply to
California later this afternoon, and
unless she indicates willingness
to modify her position there is
but Slight chance Of the seven
state compact at present.
