WATER RISING
BACK Of DAM

BOULDER CITY, New, Feb. 8.
(U.R-The little farming town of
st. Thomas was abandoned by its
residents today to the advancing
waters of Boulder dam lake.
All but few families who will
stay until the water laps their door,
steps, moved their belongings as
Boulder dam reached its full height
of 1882 feet and the Colorado river
backed up deeper and deeper be-
hind it.
H. G. Garrison, Boulder City NOR
tician, left here to carry out his
contract with the government to
move two graveyards whose sites
will be under water He will move
IA graves from the st. Thomas
cemetery and 13 from Kaolin.
Many of the graves are the rest
ing places of southern Nevada IS
Mormon pioneers, who made the
desert into fertile valleys.
The bureau of reclamation, which
purchased the 9,416 acres to be COW
cred by the 110-mile lake, is pay
ing to have the graves moved to
any one of three sites specified by
surviving relatives.
One-sixteenth of the dam was
brought to full height yesterday and
approximately one-third more will
be completed within few days.
The lake behind the barrier is
more than 30 feet deep. 1t is ris-
ing slowly because much of the
Colorado's flow is being released
for irrigation downstream.

so everyone should feel justified in
setting out trees and plants and
beautifying their home grounds.
Even if person is occupying a

worthwhile beautifying the grounds.
Some shrubs and flowers make a

OUTLINES NEW
DRY ICE PLANT
To DIRECTORS

Possible construction of a 75-100
ton capacity dry ice plant near the
Salton Sea with the first unit to
cost approximately $4,000 and ad-
ditional units to be added as found
necessary, was brought to the at
tention of the irrigation district
board of directors at their meeting
this morning.
W. s. Collins of Wichita, Kansas,
appeared before the board in the
interests of the company contem-
plating the erection of this plant
to consult with the board relative
to securing some property near the
Sea suitable for these operations.
The board discussed the proposition
but took no definite action this
morning.
Collins told the board members
that he had sunk a well in Salton
Sink 38 years ago and found the
carbon dioxide gas there at that
time. He said there was no use for
the dry ice then but times have
changed and the use for this COM
modify is constantly increasing.
He stated that he is backed by a
million dollar concern, that it is not
a stock selling proposition and con-
struction will start within 80 days
in case the necessary land is Sc
cured. He wants approximately 480
acres of land near the Sea.

DIES
ON GALLOWS

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Calf,
Feb. 8. UP)-James S. Rogan, 80, of
San Francisco, firmly maintaining
his innocence, explated the murder
of Deputy Sheriff Rudolph Vejar of
Los Angeles on San Quentin's gall
lows today.
Rogan was hanged at 1904 a. m.
and was pronounced dead by prison
physicians IL minutes later.
The killing of Deputy Sheriff Ve-
jar in gun battle with bandits who
attempted to hold up "speakeasy''
was followed by search for months
for his slayer, James Sydney Ro-
gan, who was captured in San Fran
cisco October 10, 1898, and return
ed to Los Angeles for trial.
Rogan staged a long and desper-
ate fight through the state courts
against his convection and death
sentence.
The shooting occurred Armistice
day, 1882, when Rogan and Rollie
McAlliSter attempted to rob a
"speakeasy" on West Seventh street.
The deputy sheriff and other per-
sons in the place were ordered to
lie on the floor and it was from that
position that Vejar drew his SER
vice pistol and went into action.
He killed McAllister and was
wounded fatally himself by Rogan,
who escaped
After his capture and conviction,
Rogan appealed the case and last
October 10, lacking a few days of a
year after his capture, the state
supreme court upheld the conviction
and death sentence. Rogan's appeal
was based on the contention that
Superior Judge Fletcher Bowron
had erred in rulings on the cross
examination of certain witnesses.

President Makes Known Inten-

LABOR SUFFERS SETBACK
BY LYLE C. WILSON


United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. U.p)-In-
dications the New DEAL is be-
coming more conservative appear
today in the relationship between
the administration and organized
labor but President Roosevelt's
legislative program SO far has a
radical tinge.
Conservatives are alarmed by
what they have seen of New DEAL
legislation for this session.
The $4,880,000, 900 recovery and
relief bill rejected the policy of big
business that relief be limited to
dole. Mr.. Roosevelt asked, instead,
for the more expensive type of
work relief.
Electrical power legislation is
directed not at the control but at
the elimination of holding COM
panies. The holding company sys-
tenn of acquisition and manage
ment of power companies is the
particular creation of big business.
Most radical of all in the opinion
of some observers is the bank bill
designed to increase the political
control of the American banking
system which hitherto has been
dominated by big private banks.
Conservatives and some others
in congress are disturbed by the
legislative methods adopted by Mr..
Roosevelt during the emergency
session of March 1888 and con-
| tinued into the present congress.
The bills are being written by.
lawyers in the executive depart
ments. They arrive on capitol hill
! in form which congressional Lead
ers are told is what Mr.. Roose-
velt desires. Despite the Presi-
dents insistence he has not read
the $4,880 100000 relief bill, house
leaders got word from someone in
authority that the bill must be
passed unchanged in any major
particular and they put it through
despite obstacles.
Offsetting the 'leftist' trend of
legislation are conservative de-
velopments in the executive de-
partments. Most spectacular was
the AAA purge which ousted
Jerome Frank and a group of
brain trust sympathizers with the
frequent disputed social and eco
nomic theories of DR.. ReXford Guy

mitted to congress. 1t is the pro-

they can become attached with little thinking and less energy. The one attracting the most attention at the pre- sent time, and probably one of the most vicious from point of seductive theories, is Con- munism. This dreg of ancient Europe thrives on the misfor- tune of others, and the un- settled conditions of the past few years has been a fertile field in which to spread its unsavory appeal.
 Fortunately, the bulk of the American people are still grounded in the principle that to each will be given accord ing to his merit. So long as we can imbue that simple but ancient fact into our children and our rising generations we stand a pretty good chance to survive the unholy creed of Communism or any of the oth CT impossible "isms.
 Mark Twain, that famous humorous and philosopher, analysed Communism in a few brief sentences way back in the '70s when he visited Europe. He wrote:
 "Communism is idiocy. They want to divide up the proper ty. Suppose they did it-it requires brains to keep mon- ey as well as to make it. In precious little while the money would be back in the former owners hands and the Communist would be poor again. The division would have to be remade every three years or it would do the Communist no good. FIX change.
