BOULDER DAM ID
 BE BEGUN TODAY
Wilbur to Drive Silver Spike
 in Opening Project

Las Vegas, Nev., Sept, IT P)- Government officials and represen- tatives of six western states assem- bled here today to take part in the ceremonies marking the beginning of work on the greatest dam ever un- dertaken-the s165, 5,OO0,00O Boulder Dam project of the Colorado river.
 Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary Of the interior and personal repre- sentative of President Hoover, and official parties from California, Col orado, Utah, New Mexico and Wy oming arrived on special trains and in automobile caravans to join Ne vada in opening work on the pro- ject.
 Silver Spike to be Used
 A sledge hammer and railroad spike of Nevada silver were the i'm plements of dedication. The cere- mony seven miles out in the desert this afternoon was arranged to herald what Dr. Wilbur described as a new era of development of colossal projects in the 100000 to s200,00O,000 natural resources of the country.
 T have never seen track work CT, but I know what end of the sledge to swing" said Dr. Wilbur as he contemplated the tool of his of ficial labor for the day.
 The driving of the spike signals beginning of work on a 22-mile branch of the Union Pacific rail- road to Summit, a point in the mountain near the Colorado river from which the government will build a 7.17 mile line to the dam site.
 The government has estimated eight years will be required to complete the dam, which will be constructed under supervision of the reclamation service, of which Dr. Elwood Mead is commissioner and which functions under Secre- tary Wilbur.
 The gigantic engineering under taking is the fruit of cooperation and agreement among six states.
 10 Years on Negotiations
 Ten years have been spent in the negotiations for the project. Presi- dent Hoover, while secretary of commerce, carried negotiations on for the compact between the seven Colorado river basin states involved. Finally six of the states were brought into agreement on the allo- cation of power and water. Only Ari- zona, upon whose boundary line one of the dam supplements will rest, failing to agree.
 Arizona officially was conspicu ously absent. In response to an in vitation, Governor John C. Phillips of Arizona replied his state had nothing to celebrate, and indicated that it would continue it's legal fight against the project.

 The old adage of when the cat is away the mice will play" could not have been better vindicated.
