RAPID CITY, S. Oak, August 81
Here is the text of President Roosevelt S
informal address yesterday, in which
he dedicated the figure of Thomas
Jefferson at Mount Rushmore National
Memorial:
I think, my friends. that there are
two people who told me about this in
the early days-one of them was Mr..
Borglum and the other was Senator
Norbeck.
On many occasions, when a new
project is presented to you on paper
and then, later on, you see the accom-
plishment, you are disappointed, but
it is just the opposite of that in what
We are looking at now. I had seen
photographs, I had seen the drawings
and I had talked with those who are
responsible for this great work, and
yet I had no conception until about
10 minutes ago, not only Of its mag
nitude but of its permanent beauty
and of its permanent Importance.
Mr.. Borglum has well said that this
can be monument and an inspiration
for the continuance of the democratic
republican form of government, not
only in our own beloved country but,
we hope, throughout the world.
This is the second dedication. There
will be others by other Presidents in
other years. When we get through,

IN EXPANSION HIT
R. {. A. to Accuse Industry
at Power Conference
Here Next Week.

The utilities industry in America
has been "timid" in extending the
services and increasing the uses Of
electricity, a Government consulting
economist is prepared TO tell the third
World Power Conference when that
group convenes here next week,
About 5000 delegates from So coun.
tries are expected.
DR.. Harlow S. Person, consultant
to the Rural Electrification Admins
tration, has prepared paper making
the accusation and urging widespread
sale Of electricity at the lowest possi-
BILE cost. At the same time DR.. Person
warns that America must strive for a
better balance between production Of
goods and the public's purchasing
power.
I'VE perceive" he says, "a produce
ton equipment Of capacity far be-
yond any call yet put on such equip
ment by consumer spending. In Q
populous. wealthy and mature society,
if there is too much spending for pro-
duction equipment, the physical basis
for higher standard of living will
thereby be established, but the higher
standard will not be realized for
want of sufficient purchasing power
to take its products into consump-
ton"
AS papers to be presented 70 the
conference arrive, prospects for a
world power boom" seem increasing.
For instance, DR.. Vannevar Bush,
vice president of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology, predicts that
the manufacture and operation of air.
conditioning apparatus is likely to
develop Ito an extent comparable with
the automotive industry in impor-
tance." And in less time, he adds.
The low point in world power con-
sumption was reached in 1882, it Is
noted in one of the papers, and since
then output has reached or exceeded
the 1929 level. Experts feel this in
crease will continue, accompanied by
rise in use of gas, coal and oil,
through penetration of rural areas,
new inventions, lower rates and
greater production efficiency.

HUNT FOR CRATER
HAS COST 100000
Wife, Losing Hope, Expects
to Be Declared Legal

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 31.-The
search for Supreme Court Justice
Joseph Force Crater Of New York has
gone on for six years.
Since he stepped into a taxicab near
Times Square on the evening Of Au-
gust 6, 1880, Justice Crater has been
reported seen in nearly every section
of the Western Hemisphere.
"Tips" led police to Nova Scotia
and Northern New York, to Maine
and Cuba, to New Jersey and to
Washington. Handwriting experts
checked signatures on hotel registers
made by men resembling Crater only
to discard them as clues.
Reports from motorists who said
they had given the missing judge
lifts. BARRIERS who said they had
shaved him, and housewives who said
they had seen him were traced to no
avail.
Hunt Cost 100000.
The case. approaching in its mys-
VNly dAouPPCaA hhIOo Va SlAoA AAS
Ross, Lord Kitchener and Ambrose
Bierce, was said a few weeks ago by
Mrs. Crater's lawyer. Ralph o. L. Fay,
to have cost more than 100000.
A grand jury, after hearing for sew
eral months testimony regarding clues
to Crater's whereabouts, accounts Of
his friends and political associates,
and examining evidence of his finan-
cial dealings and personal affairs. re-
ported itself unable to state whether
he was dead or alive. a victim Of am
nesia or a voluntary seeker Of seclu-
sion, or the victim of a crime.
The day he vanished he cashed two
checks totaling $3.50, ana 1t was dis
covered afterward he had put $l1 900
in two savings accounts a few days
before.
Note Tells of "Weariness."
Early in 1881 a box containing
$500 in cash, personal papers, and
note-"Am very weary. Love.
Joe"-was found in his Fifth avenue
apartment. A detective said it had
not been there when the place was
searched few months before.
Six months after Crater dropped
out Of sight. his name was dropped
from the city pay roll.
On the sixth anniversary Of the dis
appearance a few weeks ago Mrs.
Crater was quoted as expressing the
conviction that he was dead.
Mrs. Crater has been working as
secretary for a builder in recent
months. She received a moderate al
lowance from her husbands estate,
which will not be dispersed until he
has been missing for seven years.
The authorities added that despite
the long and unsuccessful hunt, the
case of the missing justice has not
been given up.
So far as the Bureau Of Missing
Persons is concerned, Detective Will
liam King said, the case will remain
open until Crater, dead or alive, is
located"
