Congested Condition of Sys-
tenn, With II New Seats
Being Added, Prompts
Haste Toward Start


The Las Vegas school board will
have an opportunity to look over
the completed plans for the new
high school building to be con-
structed here this winter tomorrow,
when George A Ferris OF Reno,
architect who is formulating the
plans, arrives here with them. if
present plans materialize as sched-
uled.
The crowded condition Of the
school system, with the prospect of
a much more congested condition
with students continuing to enroll
and many more families expected to
come to town with the starting of
actual work on Boulder Dam pre-
liminary work. makes earliest posi-
BILE construction of the high school
imperative.
Installation of 70 new seats, "a
in the high school ard 40 in the
grammar school building, is being
pushed with Ray Shaw in charge Of
the work.
Several substitute teachers haze
been employed regularly since the
opening Of school. Mrs. Lloyd Ullom

Merrill Back; Will
Play With High
School Eleven
Ely Schedules Games With
Vegas For November 9
and 22; Finance Is Big
Factor in These Games

Winston Merrill, one Of last years
Las Vegas high school football subs,
has returned to Las Vegas, register
ing Yesterday at the local high
school for his senior year.
He registered at Santa Monica
school, but returned here after he
found that the California school
didn't appeal to him as the Las
Vegas high school did.
And so Winston is turning out for
football, with high prospects OF
making the team, adding to the
material from which Coach Frank
Butcher will choose in whipping his
eleven into shape.
Two more games were added TO
the schedule for the year. when 4
letter was received from Ely, agree
ing to play Las Vegas November 8
and %. The first game probably
will be played in Ely, and the last
one here.
The transportation problem is one
of the difficult features of this trip,
it is said. for the trip usually is
made to Cahente by train and from
there automobile transportation
must be called upon. Hence these
games depend somewhat upon fl
nancial matters.
This makes eight games scheduled
! for the season.

MANY FLEE AS FOREST FIRES
MENACE NORTHWEST TOWNS
oantages Juror Fixed, Rev. Shuler Charges
SEC. WILBUR EXPLAINS HOW
GOVERNMENT WILL TACKLE
GREAT JOB OF BUILDING DAM

During the latter part of June,
visited the Black Canyon Dam site
on the Colorado River. where the
700-fcot Boulder Dam eventually
will be constructed. While there
was accompanied by DR.. Elwood
Mead, Commissioner Of the Bureau
of Reclamation, under whose jtlris-
diction the dam will be built, and
by Mr.. r. F.. Walter, chief engineer
of the bureau. who will be in gen
eral charge OF construction
Although the Boulder Canyon
Dam Act was approved by President
Coolidge on December 81. 1923, it
did not become effective. until six
months thereafter. The act was
made formally effective through the
proclamation OF President Hoover
dated June 25. 1929. In this proc
lamation, the President pointed out
that the six States of California,
Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico.
Utah and Wyoming have ratified
the Colorado River Compact and
have consented TO waive the pro-
visions of the first paragraph OF Ar
ticle XII OF the compact which
makes the compact binding and OBJ
ligatory only when approved by each
of the seven states signatory thereto,
and that each of the six states
named has approved the compact
without condition, except that Of
six-state approval as prescribed III
the Boulder Canyon project act.
A brief resume of what is included
in the proposed development viii be
of interest. There are three main
construction features. First, the
great Boulder Dam in Black Canyon
where the Colorado River forms the
boundary between the States of Ari-
zona and Nevada. On completion
of the dam, the present surface OF
the river will be raised $50 feet. or
almost identically the height OF the
washington Monument.
The dam will result in the crea-
ton of huge artificial lake With
capacity of 26,000.000 acre-feet OF
water, or enough to cover the stata
of Ohio or the state of Virginia 10
a depth of one foot. This great
reservoir will serve as vast basin
to impound the surplus flood waters
of the turbulent Colorado for use
in irrigating fertile land in region
which has been aptly called Ameri-
cas- Valley of the Nile, and will also
regulate the rivers flow so that the
highly developed lands in the val
leys adjacent to the river below the
dam and in the famous Imperial
Valley will be protected from over
flow, water shortage and silt ac-
emulation, the three great menac2S
to successful agriculture at present.
Second in magnitude and i'll pub
lie interest, is the power plant TO
