Show H BOULDER DAM PROJECT H IS CAUSE OF OPTIMISM H , Mr. Don Coppin is home from a H trip to Las Vegas and St. Thomas, H Nevada, where he has been to close B a deal to furnish a carload of Clc- H tracs to be used to haul borax from H the newly developed deposits 28 H miles from St. Thomas and 49 H miles from Las Vegas. The open- H iiiR of these deposits is causing con- H sidcrablc activity in that section, H but perhaps the greatest source of cheer to the people of Las Vegas is 1 the promise of development to come H from the building of the great H' Boulder Dam on the Colorado riv- H cr, which will water an immense H aTca in Arizona, Nevada, and Cali- H foruia, and will be one of the grcat- H est reclamation and power projects B in the West. Las Vegas will profit H most from this rojcct, which is H now being surveyed by engineers. H but Cedar City and St. George will H feel the direct stimulus of the new B influx of population to the territory H to be irrigated. Los Angeles to the Hj south and Cedar City to the north H arc the onlv outlets to that section. H Mr. Coppin says the people of the ' towns just visited arc much en H: thuscd over the prospects for the H great irrigation system. |
