At Boulder Dam
ARTICLE

To visualize the size of the four
intake towers at Boulder Dam,
imagine a 80 story building with
all but a few of its upper floors
under water.
A herd of 81 elephants, each
weighing five tons could be ar
ried with ease across Boulder Can
yon. This permanent cable way is
used to lower machinery and mater
ials from the rim to the foot of the
Dam.
A trackless waste of barren de
sert, unfit to support human life
became the most perfectly designed
modern city in the world, housing
5000 inhabitants during the CON
struetion of the Dam.
The 1000, 900 government own
ed Boulder City, now houses all en-
gagged in the maintenance of the
Dam and operation of the power
house, as we'll as those engaged in
various business activities in the
city.
The power transmission line from
Boulder Dam to Los Angeles covers
a distance equal to any of the fol-
lowing; New York City to Rich

The Guidite World
of Music
By Miss Ethel Jones

Effect of Music on Wild Animals
According to varying expert
ments by the societies of the world,
there are instances where music
has had a notable effect upon the
actions of wild animals. While
some of the differences made r
not justified it is interesting to
note the following gleanings.
Band music when played before
animals who have never heard it,
will cause them to become frighten-
ed for a short period. Once they be-
come used to the noise they pay
no attention to it whatsoever. Ca
nine animals will general howl
when music is played.
Observations from experiments
made at the London Zoo proved
that some of the animals liked
music, others were not interested
while others seemed intensely to
dislike it.
The seals showed a positive plea
sure when a small orchestra on
sisting of several instruments paus-
ed and began to play before their
cool quarters. They stopped splash
ing in the water, came close and
swayed dreamily to the tunes. They
were very friendly and seemed to
forget there were any enemies of
which to be wary.
The large crocodile was another
who manifested that, though he
seemed dull and asleep, he had an
ear for music.
The huge %rhinoceros, however,
was most impolite. At first he made
noises that expressed his contempt
of the orchestra. Next he lowered
his large head and charged right
at the musicians.
The wolf family shrieked and
yelled, while the snakes paid no at
tention to the music at all. The
monkey liked the loud tunes that
were nearer noise than music. He
chartered and screamed with de
light. Other creatures of the forest
seemed to be pleased with sweet
music, played in a gentle dreamy
manner. So in the long run it ap-
pears that wild creatures like hu-
man beings, like or dislike music.

ALBERT NILES IS FOUND AT
 POINT RETREAT
Pioneer Was Victim of Boat Mishap and Fire Wand
 cred in Woods 10 Days

Victim of boat wreck and fire Albert M. Niles, 65, Alaska pioneer was brought into Juneau yesterday from Point Retreat aboard the Ya- kobi and today after a rest and a few meals was 6eeling himself again. Niles is the man reported from Point Retreat as possibly the miss ing trapper s. P. Bud May No trace of May has been found.
 Niles, who came north in '97, went through the gold rush. made for tune or two and later practiced law in Los Angeles, had come north in February and gone to Tenakee Hot Springs for a while. Later he de- cided to do a little prospecting in the Freshwater Bay region and then went to Hawk Inlet and Funter Bay in small boat equipped with an outboard. Between Funter Bay and Cordwood Creek, the prospector's motor broke down but he finally made the beach and made camp about hundred yards from where he put his boat on the beach. He had gotten all his supplies safely ashore and gone back to the boat when a spark from camp fire lighted his mattress and before he could extinguish the flames his en- tire equipment, clothing and sup plies, had been destroyed, leaving him with only his rifle and the clothes he had on.
 Niles then started out to make Point Retreat and spent between 10 days and two weeks in the open, living on game and fish, before he arrived at the light station Mon- day.
 The pioneer declares reports of his being wild man" are errone- ous. The only thing he was wild about was the loss of his boat and equipment, he pointed out.
 Niles reports he saw no trace of the missing Bud" May and ven- tured the opinion the man was dead, especially if he has been out in the open since last winter.
