UTAH Slip and Pantie Set Made in Quick Time Kidnaping Is Not Entirely an American Crime, Nor New The crime of kidnaping is not a new one or confined to this country, though the organization of kidnaping gangs for profit has been more greatly developed here in recent years than anywhere else. It is a curious fact that the word kidnaping came into use not in America but in England about 250 years ago and referred to the business of stealing young people in that country to provide indentured servants or laborers (virtually slaves) for the American plantations. In Bunyans Pilgrims Progress, written in 1684, occurs the sentence, Thou practisest the craft of a kidnaper ; thou gatherest up women and children and earnest them Into a strange country, to the weakening of my masters kingdom. Maj. Arthur Griffiths Mysteries of Police Child stealing and Crime states: has always been a profitable trade, practiced at the instance of greedy relatives anxious to remove a rightful heir; youths of muscle and sinew were entrapped in great numbers during the first half of the Eighteenth century to be sold as white slaves for the American Detroit New s. plantations.

For nearly thirty years irrigation and flood control projects on the Colorado river have been talked about in the circles of government In 1857 an army officer sent out to find the head of navigation of the Colorado wrote: It seems intended by nature that the Colorado river along the greater portion of its lone and majestic way shall be forever unvisited and unmolested. And not until 1907 was the first note of defiance to this attitude sounded by President Theodore Roosevelt. Then in 1918 Arthur P. Davis, a civil engineer, conceived the idea of building the worlds largest dam to stem the Colorado. Herbert Hoover, as secretary of commerce, in 1921 created the Colorado river commission. On November 24, 1922, the states of California, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and Utah signed a compact. A survey authorized by congress selected Black Canyon as the site. Two years later the bureau of reclamation recommended Boulder Canyon as a better site, and this site was accepted In the Boulder Canyon act passed by both e houses and signed by President in 1928. President Hoovers proclamation declared the act in effect. In 1930 contracts to deliver water and provide electric power were signed. On September 17 of that year, Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the interior, drove the first spike in the construction of a railroad to the dam site, then and there giving the project the name Hoover Dam.
