Sales Manager Of
Local Co. Honored

According to VIM. c. Jones, sales
promotion manager for the Western
division Of the Chevrolet Motor
Company, William r. Woodard,
sales manager of the local Chev-
rolet agency, has the distinction of
being the ninth man in the Western
territory to receive membership in
the "One Hundred Car Club"
Woodland received his membership
for his record during the first six
months of the year, and according
to Mr.. Jones, Woodard will un-
doubtedly enter the two hundred
car field before the end of the year.
This is quite a compliment to the
local agency.
Chevrolet sales have increased to
such an extent here that it has
been found necessary to enlarge the
show room. Starting Sunday morn
ing the used car sales will be made
from a Used Car Lot" at the COR
ner of Fifth and Clark streets. It
is hoped that this change will for a
time at least, take care of the
crowded condition of the Fremont
street location.

How'd u. p. Bulls
Know Two Boys
Were on Freight?

The freight train trip of two
Las Vegas grammar school boys
ended abruptly Wednesday night
when, by some sort of magic,
word of their expected arrival at
Gina, California, reached Gina
railway officers ahead of the
train which they were riding.
The two boys left Las Vegas
about midnight Wednesday.
Early Thursday the train pull
ed into Gina and the reception
committee, railway bull, ac-
cOsted the boys in their gondOla
car almost before the rolling
stock had ceased rolling.
Given their choice of return
ing alone OF with an officer, the
boys both came back to the home
port. Willard Owens, sixth grader
caught another freight back to
Vegas, and RalStOn Barnum, OF
the eighth grade, also came back
somehow, to face his mother and,
according to good information, a
good tanning with the razor
Strop."
The boys now have whole
some respect for the magic of
telegraph wires, it has been re-
marked.

FIRST CONSTRUCTION
JOB PREPARATORY TO
DAM WORK COMPLETED
Testing Plant Machinery Being Moved Into
Structure Created by RemOdeling of Old
Fort; Gravels Being Sought by Government
Men, Attesting Earnestness of Bureau

The first unit of Uncle Sans
construction work preliminary tc
the building of Boulder Dam was
finished this week when the plant
for testing of gravel and other ma.
terials for the building of the dan
was completed.
The old fort, said to be the oldest
standing building in the state, is
now q part of a completely re-
modelled structure with dirt room
and cement floor, and into which a
carload of testing machinery is nov
being moved by the Bureau of Rec
lamation under the supervision o!
Civil Engineer Walters.
ENGINEERS under the direction of
o. G.. Patch, in general charge OF
the testing work, are now at work
locating and obtaining samples OF
gravel from pits within large ra-
dius of the dam site.
Fort Preserved
The old fort, in parts of which
there still can be seen bullet holes
which resulted from the fighting of
the early Mormons and the Indians
was partially torn down, the south
ernmost end remaining, however al
most intact, with the exception OF
the roof,
A large window was cut in the
south end. and modern panel door
Supplanted the ancient one which in
the early historic times was the
crux of pitched battles between be-
sleged MormonS and the SavageS.
The north end and the west wall
extending back from the main por-
tion of the fort at the south, were
left, the east wall being replaced.
u. S. Means Business
The walls were built approximate
ly foot higher all around. adobe
blocks much resembling the original
material being used for the entire
work.
The SOuthenmoSt room of The
three is now used as office, the
middle one will be the laboratory
while the north room will contain
the machinery for crushing and
rough work, according to Mr.. Walt
erS.
Much water will be used in the
testing work, and the cement floor
will drain this off. The roof is COW
cred with a foot of earth, to keep
it cool in summer and warm in
winter.
The certainty of Boulder Dam's
construction is now attested by the
fact that actual work preparatory to
the great project is being pushed by
the Bureau of Reclamation. This
testing work is one of the prelimin-
airy jobs which must be begun long
before the actual work begins, it is
pointed out.
