COMPANIES ARE WILLING
TO TAKE EITHER ALL
OR PART OF CURRENT

LOS ANGELES, June 25-(U.P.)- AS
surance that Southern California utilities
stand ready to buy the maximum amount of
electrical energy to be generated at Boulder
Dam was received here today by DR.. Elwood
Mead, Federal Commissioner of Reclamation.
There is no danger of power going to
waste when the project is opened DR.. Mead
said tonight at dinner after day of con-
ferences.
Instead of searching the field for con-
tracts for the output, found offers thrust
upon me. The Southern California Edison
Company alone agreed to contract for the en-
tire power"
In statement tonight the Southern Cali
fornia Edison Company said that either in
conjunction with other agencies or by itself it
would agree to utilize all the falling water at
Boulder Dam and to pay the maximum price
which can be paid without financial loss.
The Los Angeles Municipal Power and
Light, the Los Angeles Gas & Electric Cor
poration, and the Southern High Sierras
Power Company are among others bidding
for power.

DR.. Mead Tells Los Angeles Of
Great Project; UP. Ready to Build

sive camp site at the project within
the next ten years and it will be-
come a permanent health and
pleasure center when the great en-
terprise begins to operate" he
added.
A testing laboratory for the pT-
pose of obtaining the best materials
for its construction will be eStab-
lished at Las Vegas, New, DR. Mead
said, and pointed out that the
Union Pacific railroad was ready to
provide transportation facilities for
machinery and men.
The Boulder Dam Act has two
conditions which must be fulfilled
before its construction can start, "
DIR. Mead said. The first of these
that six states should ratify the
Colorado River compact--haS been
met. The other is that contracts
must be held by the Secretary of
the interior which will insure re-
payment C. its $l65. 100000 con-
struction cost. plus interest, within
fifty years
Fulfillment OF this latter condi-
ton now seems assured, the COM
missioner said, and this greatest OF
projects soon will become a reality

PRESIDENT PROCLAIMS
BOULDER DAM BILL
TO BE NOW in EFFECT

WASH / N CT 0 N, June 25.--(U.P)-
President Hoover signed the Colorado River
Proclamation today.
The proclamation makes effective the
Colorado River Compact for the distribution
of water rights among six of the seven states
interested in the river development. Arizona
has not yet accepted the terms of the compact.
In announcing the proclamation President
Hoover pointed out that the failure to agree
upon water rights had held up development
of the river for 25 years
The chief executive pointed out that he
took great pleasure in signing the Federal
and that he has watched the
progress of the negotiations with keen in
terest since 1922.
AS Secretary of Commerce. President
Hoover was chairman Of the Colorado River
Commission which brought the states to-
gether in the conference which led to the pact
formally proclaimed today
The proclamation paVes the way for the
early development Of the Boulder Dam
project which was authorized by legislation
last December That bill provided that if the

This declaration by the President
also pointed the way to minimize
the tendency toward too great CEN
tralization of power in the Federal
Government, a tendency deploreu
recently by many critics who sec
a giant hierarchy growing up here
with the government doing many
things for the states that they
could do for themselves.
The proclamation makes effec-
tive a pact for the distribution
of water rights among six of the
seven states interested in the Colo
RADIO river development. Arizona
has not yet accepted the terms of
the agreement.
Many Delays
= President Hoover pointed out
that the development of the river
has been delayed 25 years by fail
ure of the states interested to agree
Upon water rights. The compact.
in effect, removes the last barrier
to construction Of Boulder Dam,
the $125,0OO,0O0 power. flood con-
troll and irrigation project already
authorized by congress.
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that
he took great pleasure in signing
the proclamation for as Secretary
of Commerce he was chairman of
the Colorado river commission
when the compact was formulated.
He also pointed cut that for the
firS time in history compact in
volving so many interests had been
made effective. Heretofore only
minor compactS between two states
had been successfully negotiated .
Work to Start
Work en- the Boulder Dam pro-
ject is now expected to start next
spring as the interior department
has instituted a preliminary sur
yey of the work and it was con-
templated that bids for construc-
ton would be called for in six
months.

Case Probably
Finished Today
Case Scheduled for Jury To-
day. Attorney Predicts
Not Guilty Verdict for All
Vegas Defendants.

A verdict of acquittal in favor OF
J. Fred HcSSe, hoy Neagie, James
Ferguson and r, E. "Spud' Lake is
expected from the jury i'll the U. s.
court at Carson City which viii
probably be given the case today,
according to Attorney A. w. Ham,
who returned from the capital city
last evening
The court has already instructed
the jury to bring in verdict OF not
guilty in favor of Mayor HeSse ana
City Commissioner Neagle on the
ground that there is no evidence to
prove they were guilty Of conspiracy
as charged 1t appears that the dis
credited testimony OF Bradshaw and
Gecman. the principal prosecution
witnesses. both of whom were sew
eral times convicted on liquor
charges, was animated by desire
for revenge against the officials VINO
enforced the law against them. and
was inStigated and encouraged by
political enemies of the officials.
A verdict of not guilty in favor OF
James Ferguson was ordered by the
court on the ground that he had al
ready been iE Jeopardy on the same
charge in the former trial.
The case against Lake has, it ap-
pears. no more substantial ground
than that against the other defend
ants. The principal testimony
against him was by Bradshaw and
Gecman who admitted their per-
Sonal animosity against the former
officer. 1t was thought best in this
case to seek verdict of not guilty
on the convincing evidence being in
troduced by the defendant so that
the atmosphere will be entirely
cleared.
The attorneys decided that the
defendant himself should take the
stand and tell the true facts Of the
case, and a number OF character
witnesses have offered their teSti-
mony in his favor among them
Frank Wait, former undersheriff in
this county, now an official Of the
state prison al Carson.
SO certain Of the outcome OF the
case was Attorney Ham that he
considered it unnecessary to remain
there longer. He. with Mickey Wal
lace, left Carson City Yesterday
morning. making the drive in l3
hours over all, with driving time
less than IL hours.

The Chamber of Commerce at its
meeting Tuesday noon expressed
Indignation at an article wired oy
Robert S. Pickens, Associated Press

seemingly went out of its way as a

the opinion of the Chamber OF

In registering its protest against
this and similar articles which
have been written by some ot the

Great and prolonged ovations re-
peatedly were accorded DR.. Mead at
a banquet in his honor here last
night. during which he outlined the
plans for Boulder Dam conStruc-
ton.
Describing the project as the
greatest the government has under
taken since the Panama canal the
reclamation commissioner declared
that a barrier twice the height OF
any now existing will be built in Or
der to utilize the waters Of the Colo
RADIO river along 300 miles OF Its
course.
Provision must be made for a
river that will carry over 200,0uO
cubic feet per second" he said. ITO
do this it is planned to build four
tunnels fifty feet in diameter
greater than that of the Hudson
River tunnel. The aggregate length
will be 10000 feet. They will carry
a flow of water greater than the
average flow of the Mississippi river
where it passes ST. Louis, Mo.
Boulder Dam will be much
larger than Roosevelt Dam ana
more than twice as large as Ele-
phant Butte dam. 1t will Impound

not been ratified by six states BY
June 2i, the federal government
should attempt to work Out the
Boulder Dam development on some
other basis. 4
Col. William .. Donovan, former
attorney general, has been engag-
ed III securing ratification Of the
compact for several months. The
river development may now pro-
ceed ON the basis contemplated III
the federal legislation.
Preliminary Survey
The interior department already
has instituted a preliminary survey
for the development project, al
though no bids for construction
work or leasing Of power arc con-
templated within six months from
today's proclamation.
President Hoover said he regard
ed this compact as the most eX-
tenSive action ever taken by a
group of states under the conSti-
tutional right for such compacts
and that 1t opens the possibility Of
other compacts between states to
settle disputes among themSeleVs
rather than placing them upon the
federal government.
Tho President explained the COM
pact would expedite Boulder Dam
development because it clears up
controversial matters that have
prevented the Inauguration Of the
project. He expressed the hope Ari-
7ona would join later with the
other states in the cOmnact-
